Black Lights

Last night was a girl's night out for me and my good friend. We may have had a little too much fun taking photos in the black lit room. But, hey! When you're feelin' it, you'd better take advantage! Did I mention my nail polish was glowing?

Ringing In 2015

Happy New Year! I'm so excited for 2015! I just know this year is going to be the best one yet! 

Not only is it New Year's Day, but it's also my wedding anniversary. It's always fun to celebrate both of these hand in hand. Today I've been married to my boo for 9 years! 

I didn't find out until a couple days ago that we would be spending the holiday in Leavenworth, WA. Although I had planned on wearing sparkles from head to toe, the weather had other plans for me. Sadly I had to leave my gorgeous heels behind in the hotel room, as the compact snow and ice filled sidewalks would not allow for an easy stroll. 

The evening's lows were in the single digits. My trusty Helly Hanson boots kept me warm from the knees down and my long fur and fleece mittens kept the rest of me warm...for the most part. I cannot lie. My thighs were freezing, but I couldn't part with my sequin dress! 

I honestly had a blast with my man! Arctic chill and all! The cherry on top? Our Bavarian bartender said he loved my dress and boot combo. I'm so glad someone knew about style!

Sparkle

I plan on busting out every ounce of sparkle I have this NYE! So far, I found this fab dress and pair of heels at a local boutique. All that's left is figuring out what polish I'm wearing and my hair and makeup. No big deal...right? 

Will you be glitzing it up tomorrow night or keeping it simple? Let us know in the comments below!

Marita

Yesterday I shared my backstage experience with Ocksa, and today I want to share Marita with you. Marita was neck and neck for me in the shows I have walked in. This collection was exquisite. Each garment hand made to perfection. The hair was simple, a parted a and slick low bun. The makeup was simple as well, with a bit of highlighting on the upper cheekbone, and blue lips.

I was obsessed with the color scheme as I am a lover of turquoise. Check out all the photos I got backstage and see the beautiful clothes for yourselves. Take note, the top I'm wearing was sooooo heavy!

Quilted

Sometimes all you need is a little texture to spice up an outfit. I'm totally diggin' the quilting on my kicks and this top! What do you think?

California Dreamin'

It's that time of year again. The season that most moms are practically doing handsprings for, back-to-school, has me feeling saddened. This summer has been so fun and next week it's back to the grind.

These photos are from my final day in Cali...I. Did. Not. Want. To. Leave. It was such a beautiful and perfectly warm day, but I was cold in my car with the A/C on, and hot when I turned it off, so I just through on my new sweater that I got at Lulu in San Francisco. It's so comfy, I'm beyond obsessed with it!

So for now, I'll just dream of California, the great time we had together, and continue to count down the days until I can live in a sunshine paradise year-round.

Glitter Off

 

There's one thing every woman knows, who has ever polished her nails with glitter; it's near impossible to get off! It's a love/hate really. One moment I'm feeling all sparkly and fancy, and the next I'm angry and sweating from trying to get the darn stuff off!

Well, let me tell you. OPI has come out with a fantastic polish called Glitter Off. You apply one thin coat to clean nails and let it dry completely. Next, you apply your favorite glitter polish. When you are done wearing the polish, no need to sweat! Just push the edge of it and peel it off.

It seemed to good to be true, so I thought I would try it out. My concern was that with such easy removal, it only made sense that the polish would just come right off before I was ready to take it off. I was relieved to find out that's not the case. I polished my nails with a glitter polish on Friday, and made it all the way until Tuesday, at which point I was ready to change, so I peeled it off. How great is that?! 

So now that the secret is out, what are you waiting for??

Water Follies

This weekend is Water Follies in Tri-Cities.  Yesterday I got into town in time to see the last few hours of the hydro races. That was my first time experiencing any kind of boat races and it was pretty awesome! 

I kept my look casual cool for this hot day. What do you think?
