Moving On...

2013-05-13T05:45:00.000-07:00

So I am sure you who are still with me have noticed my lack of posts for some time now. It is not because I gave up on the blogging world, but because I have a new blogging home!

Please visit me and my BFF Paula Jean at our new home:

Sea Island Drive

Back from Brian Head

2013-02-23T08:22:00.001-08:00

After some time in Vegas we headed off to Brian Head, Utah for a ski vacation.

I had never been skiing before so I was a little nervous, but I conquered the bunny slope and a few green runs all without a single fall.

Wedge!

There was also tubing. I cannot even tell you how much fun that was. I actually hit the barrier at the end and they tried to yellow tube me. AKA shame me by calling me out for going to fast. Uh, no thanks. I ignored the 12 year old and continued speeding down the tubing hill.

Vegas Baby

2013-02-17T19:30:00.000-08:00

Our night in Vegas could not have gone better.

We stayed at the Mandalay Bay, something I have not done in a long time, and really explored every square inch of the hotel.

We went to Minus 5 where you put on boots, gloves and a parka and drink in a room made of ice. You drink out of glasses made if ice and sit on benches made of ice under ice chandeliers. It was surprisingly fun and very cool. Pun intended.

We also had to do a little window shopping, which meant a stop by Stella McCartney to see the crystal horse.

I also had to try on jewelry at Lanvin.

Oh how I wanted to take this beauty home.

The rest of our night in pictures:

Dress by Kelly Wearstler
Clutch by Streets Ahead
Cuff by Noir
Booties by MMM for H&M

My biggest fail of the night though was not getting my picture taken with Flavor Flav at Eye Candy. He had a nice big silver clock around his neck and everything.

Packed Up and Bundled Up

2013-02-16T09:42:00.001-08:00

I have packed up myself and my car for a fun mini road trip with the husband.

First stop Vegas! Hopefully I can win big on the slots, and then off to Utah for the rest of the week to try my hand at skiing.

This could be bad.

I may just be a snow bunny lounging in the lodge for a week if necessary.

Wish me luck!

It Looked A Lot Like Christmas

2013-01-08T05:30:00.000-08:00

Every once in awhile we have a client ask us to help them with their Christmas decor.

This year one of our favorite clients needed all new items for their first Christmas in their new home. It was a ton of work, but a true labor of love. It was a long nine hour day and my hands were bleeding at the fingertips, but it turned out gorgeous!

Their 12 foot tree.

Yes, I was on the top of that ladder all day long.

Their decadent mantle.

You always need a few wreaths inside.

Not to mention, an over the top garland.

The End of 2012

2013-01-07T05:30:00.000-08:00

The end of 2012 was a bit of a rough one for me.

Between getting the plague that would not go away, work, and having a dear friend diagnosed with breast cancer I was not much for keeping up with my blog.

I am ready for 2013 to turn everything around and focus on the fun in life.

Before I leave 2012 behind though there are a few last snapshots I have to share with you.

Love.

My favorite new Kelly Wearstler piece - her perforated quartz cuff

My Christmas Eve ensemble complete with electric blue Kate Spade heels

My Christmas party ensemble

A favorite Christmas gift - my Dorothy ring

Curled Up in Bed

2012-12-12T21:11:00.001-08:00

This is why there has been no activity on my blog or Instagram lately...I have been sick in my bed...with my phone.

I hope next week or even the end of this one everything will turn around!

Getting Stuffed

2012-12-03T05:30:00.000-08:00

We all know that Pinterest leads to amazing things by now, but this might be my all time favorite find.

The only thing I could love as much as my favorite pup Dorothy Mantooth would be a stuffed animal that looks just like her. That is exactly what The Shelter Pups do. You send in a photo of your furry child and they will create a little stuffed doppelgänger for you. Not to mention with every purchase you can help donate to a local shelter of your choice.

Look at some of the real photos to stuffed dogs:

The first one already looks a lot like my little Dorothy Mantooth.

Kelly Does It Again

2012-11-30T05:30:00.000-08:00

So even though I went to the Kelly Wearstler Sample Sale, I still made time to go to her gorgeous store.

Any place with an entry set like this is a place I want and need to be.

I visited some of my new and old favorite items from Kelly.

The Dezza Micro Stitch Dress

Perfect for the holidays, but so wearable all year long.

Mentioned before HERE.

My TO DIE FOR Serpent Clutch.

I lust for you.

You may remember me mentioning it HERE.

Another new favorite and a surprisingly dainty piece of jewelry for my taste that glows once it is on your finger is this Cabochon Eternity Band with opals. Really...it took my breath away.

Who isn't drooling over the limited edition of Kelly Wearstlers latest book Rhapsody?

An item that took me by surprise on this visit was this stunning Bejeweled Bottle Opener.

The perfect hostess gift!

Ice, Ice Baby

The only thing better than getting an apple product for the holiday would be getting a Swarovski crystal covered one!

Leaving on an Airstream

2012-11-13T05:30:00.000-08:00

My girlfriend recently told me about the mini "glamping" vacation she went on and I had to share!

She vacationed on an Airstream in Big Sur.

How much fun would it be waking up here for a weekend?

Gluten, Soy and Corn Free...Oh My!

2012-11-09T05:30:00.000-08:00

Well, I need your help.

I am trying to be calm but learning that I am gluten, soy and corn intolerant was somewhat shocking.

So slowly but surely I am going to work all of these out of my diet, but I need help. Does anyone have any tips? Recipes? Websites?

This must be some cosmic domestic karma due to my lack of domestic skills. All this means am I am going to have to make meals and not drive-thru for them. Ugh.

I am trying to keep calm, but...I am not.

Star Crown DIY

2012-11-02T05:30:00.000-07:00

So do you remember this post from a few days ago?

Well, I decided that maybe I would try and make a crown of stars for myself.

All you need:

Gray - or any color - felt

Glitter

Ribbon

Fabric Glue

Scissors

1. Start by cutting out your stars - I initially started out by tracing stars onto the felt, but I felt when I freehanded cutting them out I preferred the way they looked a little more. Each a little unique.

2. Use fabric glue spread onto the top of your starts to adhere the glitter.

3. Shake off glitter and let dry.

4. Cut enough ribbon to tie around your head, leaving room for the bow. Attach as many stars as you want on your crown using the fabric glue. I preferred my stars touching each other.

5. Wear and enjoy!

Send me pictures if you make your own!

I would love to see your creations.

The Winner Is...
