Spring Fling

February 16, 2016

Even though it's only February I am already looking forward to spring fashions, and with an upcoming trip south to Austin, TX next week I am super excited to try out Rent the Runway Unlimited (RTRU) to test drive a few new pieces (a few included below actually).

This spring I am being drawn to bold prints & colors, fringe, maxi dresses (as always) and fun rompers. I am also loving the blush pink and neutral tones, which will help balance out my love of brights.

What are you lusting over for the spring?

V-Day Gift Guide for Him

February 3, 2016

I must admit...I don't really like Valentine's Day. To me, it's this overrated Hallmark holiday of dissappointment and expectations. Sort of like New Year's Eve - all this build up for one night that likely will not turn out as you had pictured it. When I was single and dating it was especially awful, do you get someone a gift, do you not, what single girlfriends are there to go to dinner with and then there are the feelings of wishing you had someone etc. etc.

Thank goodness those thoughts & worries are out the window for me, and have been for quite some time thanks to the handsome husband.

All this said, oddly enough, it doesn't mean I don't like buying gifts for others on said holidays:)

I know, I know...I'm weird. I don't like to celebrate many of these holidays (or birthdays for that matter) for myself BUT I love celebrating it for others & surprising them with fun gifts. Call me crazy.

So, if you are like me and like the act of giving, here are some gift ideas for him:

What are your thoughts on Valentine's Day? Any plans?

Quebec Bound

January 28, 2016

We are off to Quebec City this weekend for their Winter Carnival, and I could not be more excited! I have been dying to travel to Quebec since I saw it featured on the Travel Channel years ago and even more so have been dreaming about the Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac. Honestly I don't know which I am more excited about, seeing the city...or being pampered at the Fairmont.

That in mind, here are some of my winter getaway picks...I will be on the lookout this weekend while shopping (which obviously is on the agenda...poor husband!).

Cheers to the weekend!
