Get Braided

Can somebody learn how to do this and do it for me... like NOW?!?  Braids are definitely not an every day thing for me, but there are some days where I just get the craving for a funky hair style.  I came across this look on Pininterest and like I said... I want it.... NOW!! Check back for some more funky braided looks perfect for Spring/Summer.

Spring Scents: Michael Kors Suede Perfume

As the seasons change, so does my taste in perfume.  I came across the newest edition to the Michael Kors perfume line. The fragrance is called "Suede" and I'm absolutely in love!!  The scent has a mixture of mandarin, water lilly, jasmine with a bit of musk.  The perfect perfume on those Spring days where you're feeling a little more feisty.  A must-have for me!  What are your favorite spring scents?


DIY: The Matte French Manicure


What You'll Need:

Base Coat
Black Nail Polish (I'm an O.P.I. girl so I use Black Onyx!)
Top Coat
Matte Finish Top Coat

Scotch Tape

Step 1: Apply a base coat on your nails, and wait for it to dry completely.
Step 2: Apply two coats of your black nail polish to the entire nail.
Step 3: Apply a top coat to the entire nail, and wait for it to dry.
Step 4: When nails are completely dry (like totally dry!!) apply scotch tape across the tips of your nails. They won’t fit exactly to your nail, and that won’t matter as long as you put them on slowly and evenly.
Step 5: Apply a thin coat of matte finish on your nails.
Step 6: Wait 5-10 minutes (so nails are pretty much dry), and remove the scotch tape. Let Dry.

Voila! You're done! The great things about this look is that you can experiment with different colors.  A real cool twist on your typical french mani while saving you money!

 

So Vintage


My favorite Vogue cover of all time.  1950's one cigarette two lights.  AMAZING!!

Le Doggie Couture

I'm definitely one of those crazy people you see dressing their little 5 pound morkie (maltese/yorkie) in the cutest little outfits.  I truly believe that some dogs actually enjoy having their own style!  I'm thinking of getting my little guy some new outfits, and came across this great site "Le Doggy Couture".  Here are some of my favorite doggy couture looks...  Which ones are your fav??

Top Ten: Mother's Day Gifts




 

I've been doing some research on what to get my mom for Mother's Day.  I feel like there is a lot of pressure on what to give the woman who gave you life on the day you celebrate everything that she has done for you.  I know it's especially difficult for guys to come up with gift ideas so I checked out askmen.com and here is their list...

10. Flowers  
9. Candles
8. Gift Card
7. Gift Basket
6. Spend The Day With Her
5. Home Decor
4. Sweet Treats
3. Greenery
2. Perfume
1. Spa Treatment

I personally like a combo of #6 and #10!

The Perfect Accessory

We all know that style has a lot to do with how you accessorize, and sometimes that includes the drink in your hand! This weekend's featured cocktail is the Honeysuckle Martini.  It's very easy to make and great for a night out with the ladies! 


1 1/2 oz vodka
2 frozen raspberries, thawed
2 oz pear purée
Combine all ingredients and shake sharply with ice in a cocktail shaker. Strain into a martini glass and garnish with a raspberry skewer.

YES PLEASE!

Spring Trend: Layered Bracelets


This season it's all about layered accessories... the more, the better! The great thing about this look is that you can pull out some old bracelets you haven't worn in a while and layer them up.  When doing so, try to keep within the same color palette.  It's all about mix and match so don't worry if they're not exactly the same color, matchy matchy is so passé anyways.

Katy Perry for O.P.I.


In LOVE with Katy Perry's O.P.I. Nail Polish - Teenage Dream.  The colour comes out a light pink with the perfect amount of sparkle.  I know that it sometimes takes a bit of courage to pull off sparkles, but OPI has come up with a perfect color that doesn't scream fairy princess! If you haven't already grabbed one, it's a summer must-have!

Clutch with an Edge

Vince Camuto is currently one of my favorite designers.  He always has a way of taking something classy and giving it just enough edge to really stand out.  I'm loving this Louise Navy Combo Clutch.  Classy, yet a bit of a rock 'n roll look to make any boring look stand out.  This clutch can be found at Dillards.com for $148US

Versace for H&M Head Scarf Love


Versace has been the best thing to hit H&M since Jimmy Choo in 2010.  I'm loving the head scarves that are perfectly funky for this upcoming season. They are also very affordable starting at $35US.

New from Michael Kors Summer 2012 Collection


Have you seen the new Michael Kors Drape Shoulder Dress in lime green? Perfect for keeping up with this summer's neon trend.  Can be worn with flats like the girl in the picture, or dress it up with some sexy pumps for night! TO DIE!!

Introducing... Parker!

So, I have to start things off by saying I'm a huge animal lover! Here is my 6 month old Maltese/Yorkie mix named Parker!  Here he is sporting his Houston Texans jersey out at the Midland Texas dog park.
