Pretty in Peplum

Trending… Peplum! There is really no way to ignore the burst of peplum tops & dresses that have been popping up on my fashion radar ever since fall.

Peplum tops first became popular around the 1940’s when the fabulous Christian Dior started creating them. I really think that the Peplum style fits most body shapes… they flatter your figure by adding fullness to the hip area to create the illusion of a slimmer waistline.

2013: A Year to Be Real

2013. It’s already in swing.

I am just days late of posting this on New Year’s Day, but I just needed more time. Many bloggers posted a word for the year and it got me thinking… if I had a word I wanted to describe what I wanted this year to be about what in the world would it be?

Pretty on Paper: Stationary Goodies

I love paper… I always have. I love writing, sketching, making lists & scheduling events. At the beginning of each new year I try to start fresh with new journals/sketchbooks, stationary, notepads & calendars (for obvious reasons). There’s something about jotting down a quick note to Kevin (or a family member, friend or client) on cute stationary or brainstorming new ideas in my journal that make my heart so happy!

My Natural & Gluten Free Beauty Picks

Over the last few months, I have gotten countless emails regarding my beauty products from readers who, like me, are “natural & organic type people” & some are also gluten free (as I am), asking me what beauty products I use & trust. I thought it might be a good time to share what I am using & how I arrived with a new makeup bag full of natural & gluten free products!
