Brace Yourself..

I'm having some serious bracelet cravings this month. I would like to purchase all of these and stack them.
Colorful Cranium Wrap bracelet (love the pink.) $20 from Bauble Bar

Helloberry Lattice Double Wrap Bracelet (the gold one would go perfect with everything.) $19 Helloberry on Etsy. 

Shourouk is a French jewelry line I recently discovered. It's all really colorful and sparkly, just the way I like it! This bracelet is my favorite, the Baraka Rococo Emerald, 200 Euros on Shourouk.com

Obviously this one is my favorite. It's timeless and it's Tiffany. Enough said. Elsa Peretti Diamonds by the Yard Bracelet in 18k Rose Gold, $915 at Tiffany&Co.

Quick Trip to Vancouver, B.C.

Recently I visited Vancouver, B.C. for the first time. It was nice to take a quick little trip out the country and it was our dog's first international expedition! The city was very pet friendly, which I love.
I wish I could have done more and seen more....but here are a few highlights!


Earl is a little nervous to go through customs...
We stayed at L'Hermitage and I cannot say enough good things about this hotel. They were so friendly and it was beautiful. This was our room, it included a nice little balcony and a cozy fireplace.
The view wasn't great, but I loved the little patio.
Our room was set up just for Earl! He had a goody bag full of treats waiting for him, plus these cute dog dishes, and a comfy bed.
The Vancouver Art Gallery. Those lions are very impressive.
Earl checking out the fountain outside the Vancouver Art Gallery. He was hoping to catch some ducks.
We had an amazing dinner at The Cactus Club Cafe and this blackberry, lemon, spearmint, and vodka drink was delicious! It's called the Cohlba.
The Candy Aisle right by our hotel had a Slushie machine inside!
After-dinner drinks at The Top of Vancouver restaurant
The next morning we went to Granville Island which is a huge market on the water. There was so much food to look at. I was in heaven.
Delicious wraps. I had the salmon/puff pastry one. Incredible.
As you can see, I'm a bit of a candy connoisseur so I was very excited to take a bag of these Sour Big Foot home.

I Dream of Barcelona

My boyfriend was in Barcelona this past week and he sent me some amazing pictures. Barcelona is definitely on my bucket list. Yes, I'm really into food.

 Cookies. All cookies. 

 I LOVE candy. Gummies are my addiction. Obviously this is my dream. These were at the market, La Boqueria.

 Fresh squeezed juices at La Boqueria. The kiwi looks delish.
 Can't wait to try these!

 Interior of Gaudi's La Sagrada Familia. The outside towers are topped with fruits and veggies. So unique.

 Think I have enough candy pictures? These are the more "local" candies at La Boqueria.

 The exterior of La Sagrada Familia. It looks so insanely beautiful.

 Barcelona.

Hopefully I will have my own pictures to post of Barcelona soon!

I'm loving Jennifer Lawrence's carefree and pretty outfit. I haven't been able to find out who makes it, but I would love to get my hands on that skirt.

Every Girl Should Know How to Style the Perfect Top Knot

Photos: Jamie Beck

I was having such a hard time perfecting the top knot look that is so popular right now. These photos made it so much easier! I saw this post on of my favorite blogs, A Cup of Jo. She recommends u-shaped bobby pins, which I'm struggling to find anywhere but online. I also think a vintage hair comb would be really pretty with this hair style. Click here for the full tutorial and photos.

Let's take a look at some of the some more glam top-knot looks:


Jessica Alba looking pretty and casual.

Brigitte Bardot in a kind of French twist/ top knot. I think this look could achieved by teasing beforehand and then modifying the steps above, and not putting all the hair up.

Sienna Miller looking very polished.

Cute Coffee Pot

I am kind of in love with this hot pink Cuisinart coffee pot. Yes, it's slightly tacky but all the black and stainless steel kitchen appliances bore me. I think getting up at 6am might be a little easier with a dose of pink!
Available at Amazon.com in multiple colors: Cuisinart DCC-1200 Brew Central 12-cup Programmable Coffee Maker, $89.95
