I don't know what it is about this dress. I certainly haven't jumped on the crop top bandwagon, my style tends to sway a bit more classic; however, this Maje dress {sold out} is doing major things form me. I haven't really seen anything else designed quite like it. I only wish I could find it in white! 

In exactly one month from today I'll be a bride!  I can't wait to marry my best friend and see everything that come together into what I know is going to be the most beautiful day ever. Right now I'm working with my wedding planners, The Eventful Life , to finalize details: place cards, chalkboard doors, flowers and let me tell you finding a way to declare what each guest will be eating on their place card is not easy. Jess and Steph  found the most adorable solution via Etsy. Besides getting to marry my handsome fiance, I'm looking forward to spending the morning getting beautiful with my bridesmaids, mom and {future} mother-in-law. I'm treating the girls to hair and makeup by Wide Eyed Beauty . I drool every time I look at the work of Gina and Maggie ...swoon. I wanted to make sure we all looked pretty while we were getting prepped, so again, I turned to Etsy to find a little gift to treat the ladies too. Silk and More  on Etsy has beauty robes, that ...

        The  Spring Collection  introduces eight new shapes and six new colors  {and one very handsome male model}. If you don't know who or what Warby Parker is, I pretty sure we're not friends. I adore this company and praise them for giving people with a lack of eyewear style the ability to unleash their inner four-eyed-fashionista. Warby Parker specs are not only affordable and insanely stylish, but by buying a pair you are giving a person in need the ability to see. Warby Parker has given half a million people in need of eyeglasses a pair. Most glasses are around $95 and include lenses - say goodbye to those $800 specs - no thanks {no offense}! You can do a virtual try on or better yet do an at home try on.  I love the classic Marzipan Tortoise and black. I have to say my trip to Vegas is begging for the Reilly  in Marzipan Tortoise. Some of my favorite pairs: Kimball Reilly Piper

The countdown to Vegas is nearing! The sunshine hitting my face on April 4th can't come soon enough. It's a weekend I'm so looking forward to. Instead of all the bachelorette hoopla I wanted to keep my party simple and decided to just make it the bride + bridal party. I let my MOH's pick the destination, it was between Scottsdale and Vegas, and Vegas won. We all know how important Instragram photos are, so I'm starting my planning a bit early on what to pack in my suitcase. Let's hope this time it doesn't take a detour to Alaska. You better believe I'm bringing makeup, a swimsuit, and change of clothes in my carryon. I'm also super excited there is a Rent the Runway at the hotel we are staying at, The Cosmopolitan. So, if I don't like what I've packed I don't have to run and buy a $600 dress, I can just rent it for the night hassle free! With there being so many things to do: pool, drink, eat, shop, go out I'm a little overwhelmed w...

My three best friends since middle school  and bridesmaids. The most beautiful gals I know inside and out (ok and best dressed in any room).  The cutest photo setup. It included photos from the last 4.5 years of our relationship. The biggest surprise - photos of our parents on their wedding days. Adam's mom had a killer hat!  My lovely ladies again! Champange and mimosas were plentiful - thank goodness!  This weekend was one to remember. If I could single handedly thank 30 people in one Facebook post, I would. However, they will all receive handwritten thank yous on my favorite monogrammed stationary.  My two younger sisters, and maids of honor, threw me the sweetest bridal shower at the Yacht club in Milwaukee. A room filled with my family, Adam's family, close family friends, and my best friends on the face of this earth was so special - I will never forget how loved, spoiled and grateful I felt. Our new home is going to be stocked with the most beautiful trea...

I ask again, "Is it spring yet?" I think everyone in Minnesota has had it up to their neck in snow. That's a literal comment, there is so much snow, and we just got four more inches last night. This outfit from ASOS  is just perfection to me. The coral skirt, the shape, the jeweled sweater and the simple sandals. Ring me up, it's less than $60! 

I'm about to blow your mind and introduce you to my newest product {look up}! Before we get started, here are the basics! As many {ok most of you} know I'm getting married in May. May 10th to be exact. This means I'm being extra attentive to my skin. My current regime is pretty standard, but I truly believe it's all about the products and tools. Each night I take my makeup off with Simple Cleaning Cloths , I've found them to be gentle and they are also lovely to my eyelash extensions. I then use my Clarisonic and Mario Badeschu Glycolic Foaming Cleanser  {this cleanser can be a bit rough, use it 1 or 2 time a week}. There is a new kid on the block and I've noticed such a huge change in my skin in only two weeks. I've been using the  Radical Skincare Age Defying Exfoliating Pads  and the results are truly amazing! My pores are smaller, my dark spots {at the age of 27 it's more of unevenness and freckles) are diminishing, my skin feels tighter,...
