Pretty In Pink

Hello Loves, 

I hope everyone is having a good week, I have been lucky enough to have three days off in a row! Did a little shopping today.. will show you my finds soon. Once again my cousin Jamie has supplied a lovely outfit post. Jamie shows us how we can wear some clothing, such as this cute pink dress even in the chilly winter. Other ways to wear summer clothing obviously include a lot of layering such as cute sequenced tank tops under cardigans, and my personal favorite this year, tights underneath shorts! 


What waredrobe staples do you wear year round?

So Blessed

Hi Loves! 

I hope everyone is having a lovely week! Christmas was such a blast but I have to admit I am exhausted. I was working close to 60hours a week during the month of December. Now that Christmas is over I hope to have a little more free time to work on projects that are important to me. 

Here is a small recap of my holiday... and a few of me newest things :)) 

Our amazing Christmas tree that my father grew! He is pretty talented :) 


We all know I love Edge of Urge... and Luckily so does my hubby! These earrings are a must for New Years! 

Leila Constellation Necklace from my mother in law.. totally unexpected and so beautiful. 

My cousin Jamie surprised me the most, She bought me an absolutely beautiful B. Makowsky bag. I am still drooling over it. 

Lastly, my mother got me my second whistle from the organization Falling Whistles who works to bring peace to the Congo. 

With all of these wonderful gifts I must say the best gift I have ever received is the amazing love and support my family and friends provide. 

I hope everyone is happy and healthy

I See Stars

Hi Sweets! 

I hope everyone is having a great week and are getting prepared for the holidays close approaching! I realized it has been way too long since I posted some lovely stuff from my all time favorite boutique, Edge Of Urge. Here is a quick outfit I put together from their site.... 

I never thought about wearing a romper in the winter, but this long sleeve one with thick tights and some warm boots would work even in Maine weather! 

Love fringe... this bag would go with just about everything.

Drool.... Jeffrey Campbell boots

Please, Please check out Edge Of Urge, I promise you won't be disappointed!

Akari's Open House

Good Evening Loves, 

As promised here is the finished winter newsletter for Akari. They held their annual open house a few weeks ago and though I spent most of the day writing a 10 page term paper I managed to throw on a simple, cute outfit and get my bum over to their store. It was an amazing open house and a wonderful turn out. Catherine my lovely hairstylist blew out my hair and we were able to catch up for a few minutes. All and all a wonderful evening. 





Gift bag from the event.. I haven't had time to try anything but will post reviews when I do! 

Again, this coming week is going to be incredibly busy for me but I am looking forward to the holidays and spending some quality time with friends and family. 

I hope everyone has a lovely week :)

Completely Crimped For Mainely Mara

Hi Guys, 

So as promised I thought I would share with you an article I recently wrote for Mara of Mainely Mara, a deal website that is based here in Portland, Maine. Mara had asked me back in October to write a piece on my upcoming photo shoot for Akari Salon. Below are a few pictures from my shoot as well as the link to my article. I will be sharing the finished winter newsletter in my next post :)

Aztec Class

Loves! 

Oh how I have missed you! I am so so so sorry... I have yet again disappeared! I definitely think I am up for the worst blogger award. At the moment I am working four jobs, six days a week, so obviously blogging has been on the sidelines. Luckily, I have my beautiful cousin Jamie to fill in some outfit posts. 

Jamie absolutely loves tights this season and is constantly coming up with amazing ways to wear them. Aztec print is very popular this season and these shorts give just the right amount of pattern to the outfit. Lets also not forget her perfectly classic nude heels that are a staple in every girls closet. The outfit below is perfect for holiday parties or just a quick coffee with friends. 


Personally, I love the idea of wear tights under shorts. It allows you to wear your summer clothes a bit longer while also give a fun, dressy vibe to your outfit! 

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.. I worked but am looking forward to having tomorrow off. I am also still planning to post a giveaway asap and share some projects I have been working on :)
