January 14, 2011

(Fabric swatch, Dress, Necklace, Nail Color, Watch, Journal, Shoes)

I am always inspired by the Pantone Color Report. I absolutely love the spring palate, Coral Rose being one of them. I am incorporating some of the colors into my Spring line. Isn’t this a fun shade?

I am really so honored to be featured over on Megan’s blog, Lilac Saloon, as the featured blogger this month. She really is the sweetest. I am sharing my top 5 things I am loving, guilty pleasures, and more here!

Have any fun plans for your weekend? After three weeks of travel, it took me all week to unpack and catch up on everything at home so I am welcoming a relaxing weekend! Dinner and Bowling with friends is on the schedule:) Happy Friday Friends!

Take 3 : Vintage Cameras

I would love to get a hold of a few vintage cameras someday. They are fascinating to me.

I felt each of these photos were frameable:)

I could hardly sleep last night awaiting the arrival of my sister Tricia’s first baby! I have a new nephew, and with each new life, the world seems to smile and joy overflow. I am so happy for them. I have loved being pregnant alongside TWO of my sisters! Cousins!!

Resolution #1 in 2011 – Be Spontaneous – L.A. Recap

January 10, 2011

My spontaneous trip of 2011 in L.A. was such a sweet time:) Ever play high-low?!

Here are my highs and lows of the trip! Top moments:

1) Getting to experience the trip with one of my dear friends/co-workers from Radiant -Rose, and her two adorable boys! We have had so many fun adventures together and this one made the list!

2) The Soul Surfer movie screening. Incredible movie with an all star cast. It was at the Sony, which was surreal! We are excited to be able to interview some of them. Stay tuned!

3) Meeting Mara and having lunch at Louie Bottega. A pretty adorable cafe with a fantastic menu.

I could have talked to her for hours. We have a lot in common:) She will be modeling some of the new accessories from the IHOD Spring line! Looking forward to working with her and sharing!

4) Getting to experience the Fabric District downtown. Got some beautiful supplies!

5) Driving down Rodeo Dr. Its real! ha ha! Absolutely beautiful too. Sparkly actually. I now understand why movie stars live in their own bubble and can be pretty absurd sometimes. Their world is its own!

( Mara is such a sweetheart! Wish we could have chatted longer!)

Low Moments:
1) Sitting next to a snoring man on a 2.5 hour flight
2) Leaving my wallet on the plane and having to run back 6 months preggo through the airport to get it in time before my connecting flight took off!
3) Ruining my shirt 10 minutes before leaving for the movie screening! Always have a back up! 🙂
4) Only having 24 hours in L.A. 🙁
5) Circling around Grand Ave and never finding FIDM! Will have to wait till next time…
Ever have moments like these?!

Other than that, it was a smooth trip. I am very blessed to have had the opportunity to go! And it sure feels good to cross a resolution off the list! Happy Monday friends!

Style Files: Bigger is Better

(via The Satorialist)

In this case, bigger is better. Large sunglasses, clutch, and hat, just work:) Her jeans? Where can I find them?! 🙂 Iam looking forward to hitting up FIDM Scholarship Store (where Project Runway is filmed) this morning, followed by my run through the fabric district. I get to meet up with the lovely Mara for lunch.

The movie screening was fantastic. Will make sure and share soon:)

Happy Friday!!

Color Block Party – Rue Blog

January 6, 2011

So did you know that Rue Mag now has a blog? So in case, like me, you can’t get enough of their creative genius, you can get your daily fix here. I am also loving this post by Mackenzie of Design Darling. Obviously, I am a color addict.

When this posts I will be flying west to CA. I felt these runway shots were appropriate and the colors would brighten your day:D
