Weekend Glamour
September 16th, 2011

Imagine dancing the night away in these glamorous Louboutins. These show stopping heels would perfectly match almost any outfit. My Friday wish list would include both of these, the Alice & Olivia dress below is dreamy and beyond perfection.


Valentino Heels


Another great week to live in Arizona. Mornings are resembling fall or at least OUR version of fall. My favorite time of year! Coffee on the patio every morning watching the sun rise over the golf course is my new daily routine.
Hope you’ve had a lovely week and your weekend is even better!

Perfect For A Walk Around Paris
September 15th, 2011

Incredibly stylish, fashion forward and simply styled in such an elegant way. Alix Cherry never disappoints with her outfit posts!
The ASOS socks or over the knee nylons are my favorite part. Inspiration X ‘s three on this one.
Finally completed so much more of my decorating to do list, I’ve been crossing them off feverishly. I’ll take more pics this weekend and share. Finishing up is the best part, ya know, when it all starts to come together. Right?
Hope everyone has had a great week so far, if not, well hell it’s Friday tomorrow, so it’s about to get better!

Pink and Orange Inspiration … Color Blocking At It’s Finest!
August 10th, 2011

A little pink and orange inspirations for your Wednesday. I have been a long time fan of these Brian Atwood pumps. While saving up to purchase them I came across this Alexander McQueen Wool Crepe dress. Wow is all I can say, color blocking at it’s finest!
But before you crush your budget, maybe save up for the heels, and find an amazing look alike for the dress! That’s what I am going to do.
Looking forward to restarting my DIY dining room project again tonight. Last night’s progress, I completed over half the table!



Hope you had a lovely Wednesday?

Destination Sun
June 16th, 2011


My two favorite purchases this week happen to be from my favorite haunt, White House Black Market. This tier sweater was just so soft and feminine, and with the draping, it made a statement. SOLD … The wedges were a natural go to, and the shorts have just enough length to sit with comfort.

I also ordered this Maxi Skirt, it’s perfect for Arizona weather. A white silk top, paired with my wedges above and I’ll have another one of my favorite color schemes to wear, white and tan. Adore the crisp and clean lines of the two, pop on my lavender Minkoff bag, and I’ll be set for the day!

My Two Favorite Things This Week
June 11th, 2011


Victoria’s Secret is seriously one of my favorite places to shop online. Always the 80′s ROCKER Chic at heart, so I will never conform to the norm!
Edgy, sexy, and feminine are what I tend to lean towards. With that being said, ummm I am over 40, sooooo I have to be cognoscente of that when selecting outfits. And that is why I love VS. Not only can you find fun and flirty, but you can actually find garments with just enough cover-up to be appropriate!
The pants above are so comfortable to lounge in, and when I’m poolside it gives me a great option to wear with my bathing suit top. I paired it with the t-shirt {second pic}, to complete the flowy & billowy look. It works!
What are your choices for summer wear, where is your favorite place to find lounging attire?
Hope your week was FAB-ulous!

It’s A Gold-rush Tuesday
May 31st, 2011




After a long weekend, some of us take more time to get back into the routine of life. Lovely dinners, with champagne kisses close off this Memorial Day. And now it’s Tuesday, back to reality.
“Make new friends but keep the old ones; one is silver and the other’s gold”
Hope your Tuesday is FAB!

In The Still Of The Night
May 30th, 2011

Luxurious linens and breakfast in bed, after fun filled weekends is the best. Just enough time to reflect of moments spent with family and friends you cherish.


With our lives so busy these days, I feel it is important to take the time for ourselves. Even if it’s only for an hour, just enough to secure your thoughts and compose your future dreams. One of my favorite times of the day is when the lights go off and all is still and silent. I usually have a candle burning on my bedside table and my drapes open to gaze at the stars. The peacefulness of a candlelit room, the flicker of the flame against darkness is so soothing.
It’s now time to blow this candle out.
