Since buying a house, we are now searching for odds and ends

to fill it without. We are currently in the process of

finding the right coffee table and searching for the right

amount of decor to go along with it. We don't want to overload

it with small trinkets, so I picked out a few things that

will compliment our coffee table without overloading it. My go-to

for inspiration of course is Pinterest. If you

follow me on Pinterest you will see

all the photos I've been pinning on Home Decor.

It's so exciting getting to decorate our own house now!

She has always been one of my fashion icons ever since I've

watched her on The Hills & The City in high-school.

So I decided to recreate her look with a budget that

is more suiting to my wallet. image

Honeymooning

beach dress, panama hat, sunnies, sandals, camera, beach bag,

cover-up, blush bikini, nomad bikini, tribal print bikini

With our upcoming honeymoon to Mexico, I've been searching for
things to travel with and started a new packing list. Mainly because I'm
OCD and tend to think I'm going to forget something. While searching for
new swim wear, I came across a designer that I fell in love with.
Mara Hoffman has beautiful swimwear, beach bags and clothing also.
You can also shop her line at Shopbop and Net-a-Poter.
A beach tote, sunnies, camera and sandals are all
must haves when traveling!

Top Hair Products

2013-01-12T18:22:00.000-08:00

I'm such a product junkie. Especially since I work in the

beauty/esthetics field, I am always trying new products constantly.

I can honestly tell a difference in my hair when I skip a day

in between washes without using product.

Here are some hair products that I rely on daily.

What are some of your favorite hair products?

xox

1. Kerastase Elixir Ultime

A nourishing oil that provides shine while smoothes and strengthens.

2. Moroccan Oil

This oil makes my hair so soft and shiny and smells just like your on a tropical island.

3. Biosilk

Every time I use biosilk, I make sure I get a little extra to use on my skin as well,
your skin can't thank you enough.

4. Big Sexy Hair
Dry Shampoo is my life saver. Use in between washes or use for instant volume.

5. Kenra
This nourishing masque and deep conditioning treatment will repair dry and damaged hair.

6. it's a ten
Miracle leave in product that enables me to brush my hair with zero tangles.
Definitely not possible without it.

7. Kenra
Super all day hold that is non-sticky. Also excellent humidity resistance.
By far my fav hairspray.

8. Wella
I was introduced to Brilliance Wella shampoo while working at a salon. Little did I know
I would be using it for the rest of my life mainly because it smells
like skittles and does wonders for color-treated hair.

9. Brocato Cloud 9
This serum has fade prevention and leaves hair shiny and silky.

6 ways to show off your Closet

2013-01-05T09:04:00.002-08:00

Happy New Year everyone. This is the year that I get married.
It's getting closer and closer to the wedding date.
Only 5 months away, but who's counting? ;)

Now the fun part starts, looking for our first home. It's definitely

not a walk in the park at the least. If you're like me and every other girl

in the world, you probably have more clothes, shoes, and bags than you do space.

So with that said, we've both decided to turn an extra bedroom into

a dressing room/closet for all the extra materials.

Here are a few spaces that inspire me to turn a plain

extra bedroom into the closet of my dreams!

Custom Gift Wrapping

2012-12-09T21:44:00.001-08:00

This year I wanted to do something a little more creative

and personal while wrapping our holiday gifts. I wanted to get away

from the seasonal gift bags and tissue paper because it

seems a little mundane and careless. So I turned to my trusty

Pinterest boards to find inspiration on holiday

gift wrapping. I immediately went to local craft stores,

Michael's and Marshall's and found lots of glitter ribbon,

sequins and more glitter pens! These little touches

make a big impact for a memorable holiday gift

exchange! It's the thought that counts right?

You can see my Pinterest boards here and follow me!

Planning board: wedding cake

Trying to decide what we want our wedding cake to

details, colors and floral arrangements play a huge role in the deciding factor. We

want it to resemble a simple, elegant and of course delicious cake for everyone

to enjoy. Check out some of my favorite wedding ideas and

inspiration on my wedding board via Pinterest.
