I've become a regular French Macaron connoisseur and all the tasty treats are delicious my favorite right now are from Kafe Leopold. I couldn't resist grabbing a few after a yummy brunch this weekend. The macarons are light, fluffy and slightly chewy and the filling is delicate and filled with flavor. My favorite flavors include the Blueberry Olive Oil, Green Apple Coriander, Lemon andThe Beauty Buffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00183643137139517408noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-250929916447982902.post-72628700215931791912013-03-14T22:00:00.000-04:002013-03-14T22:00:05.573-04:00A Charming and Rustic New England Wedding Affair

I recently did makeup for my college friend, Deb's wedding. The wedding was last fall at The Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, D.C. It was so much fun to work together and Deb was a beautiful bride! To compliment the silver sheen in her dress we used a shimmery silver shadow on the lids with a neutral taupe in the crease. I then outlined her eyes on the top and bottom with The Beauty Buffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00183643137139517408noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-250929916447982902.post-28950074636416474022013-01-10T13:12:00.000-05:002013-01-10T13:12:22.673-05:00Save the Date – DC-Area Bridal Showcase

'Tis the season! Christmas is right around the corner and there's no better present to give a beauty junkie than a fabulous holiday palette by Stila.

I recently caught up with my old friend from high school Emily Goodstein. Emily is truly one of the most creative and unique people I know and on the day we met she had asked me to do her makeup for a photo shoot. The Washington Post was interviewing her and doing a profile and spread in their magazine edition.

Did a makeup trial last week with my college friend Deb who is getting married next week in DC. So fun to see her after so long and catch up! She looked gorgeous as always. Loved how Old Hollywood glam she looked with the fluttery lashes and bold red lips. For this look we used a false eye lash strip and lots of neutral, shimmery champagne tones on the eyes with just a hint of light brown in The Beauty Buffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00183643137139517408noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-250929916447982902.post-62173563445048202622012-10-15T23:06:00.000-04:002012-10-15T23:06:08.106-04:00Happy Halloween from Sprinkles!
Yummy in my tummy! Delicious Halloween cupcakes from Sprinkles delivered to the office bright and early Monday morning! Just what we all needed.... Well apparently it was because they were devoured!

How amazing does Kerri Russell look in this simple yet totally chic outfit? I am obsessed with the small yet significant details that make up this ensemble. I love the collar and subtle pleats of this well tailored shirt. I also adore the tiny slits on the bottom of her pants. Everything works!

As a new bride, it's my moral obligation to share my post wedding knowledge with the masses and hopefully reassure or guide even just one bride-to-be down a stress-alleviating path when it comes to at least one or two different vendor options.
