In just a few days, I will be headed to Santa Monica for a week! I could not be more excited to relax and stroll around sunny California after a crazy month. I suspect I'm a California girl at heart. We have a few things set up, but I would love to hear any suggestions... Continue Reading →
the best planner!
As promised, here is a look inside my super fun new Erin Condren life planner. I buy planners every year with good intentions and great ideas. And every year, like clockwork, I use them until about mid-February then they get tossed in the closet with unread books and magazines. I'm hoping that the fun details,... Continue Reading →
package tracking + brussels sprouts
I'm so excited my Erin Condren custom planner has finally arrived! I've been tracking this package daily since the moment it was shipped and had been checking the production status on the shop's website since I ordered it in mid-December. Even though I knew the exact date and time it was estimated to be delivered,... Continue Reading →

new year’s eve: glam or cozy?
New Year's Eve is the only night of the year I would consider wearing metallic gold skinny jeans and patent stilettos. And it's probably the only night I could pull off a look like this in DC. But how hot is this? My preferred go-to night out garb is usually a cute little cocktail dress... Continue Reading →
cutest dress in the universe
Seriously. Cutest thing ever. I tried this on yesterday at Anthropologie in Georgetown. Loved it on my petite frame. It fit like an adorable little glove - snug at the top with the festive Christmas-presenty bow adornment and the bottom was like a big sparkly bell. Would skip the black tights and throw on a...

perfect holiday red polish
I'm absolutely in love with Through the Fire. It's shimmery, dramatic, sultry, rich and the perfect holiday red. It's a sexy satin sheet for your fingers. And, it's limited edition. I bought it a couple weeks ago and quickly threw it on while doing my makeup before an event on Saturday. What I love about... Continue Reading →
glossybox, my new love
I've been a big fan and subscriber of Birchbox for nearly a year and a half. A few months ago, I started becoming unimpressed with the box. The samples seemed to be getting smaller and less relevant to me each month and I was just no longer excited about it. When the excitement stops, it's... Continue Reading →
{guest post!} fall shoe fun!
Happy Friday! It's fall, it's gorgeous outside, there is pumpkin-everything all around and I couldn't be happier! Everyone has been asking 'where have you been lately?'. Well, let's just say for the past month I've either been in my office ridiculously long hours, at Starbucks or sleeping. Now that I've closed the door on that... Continue Reading →
the leisure report: summer white accents
The milky white vase in this gorgeous sunlit room adds a touch of cool, crisp summer glam. It inspired me to seek out other everyday items in summer white that could provide a bright pop of color throughout the house. These porcelain bowls are adorable and functional. They would be a perfect key dish for me.... Continue Reading →
