Polish Game Changer

So I have been on the hunt for an at home nail polish system that stays on my nails and doesn't chip for at least a week. Well good news is I found it. Welcome the game changer Vinylux!!! This stuff is amazing. and so simple. I tested out the white polish Cream Puff which I just ordered on Amazon.

All you do is put two coats of the Weekly Polish color of your choice and then top with the Top Coat.

It is just like and at home Shellac!!! I am so excited I think I will go out and buy all the colors with 52 shades the possibilities are endless.

Cobalt + Yellow

I have been so behind on posting an outfit post. ahhhh sorry this wedding season has me super busy and our social calendar is filling up fast. I am getting super excited about an upcoming family getaway with almost my whole family. 

I have also been able to attend 2 weddings this year as a guest and this is what I wore to my cousin's wedding. Plus I am rockin' one of my favorite Hiip SF prints.

Spa Day

Last weekend I spent the day with a few close girlfriends at the amazing Meritage Resort & Spa in celebration of one of our friends birthday. Here is a little recap of our day.

When I first entered the cave and made my way to the spa I was already feeling the stress leave my body. There is something about being in a cave that makes you forget all about the world outside. I was warmly greeted by the sweet lady who checked me in and introduced me to another sweet woman who handed me a glass of champagne and escorted me to the woman's dressing room. This dressing room was so calming with soft music playing I slipped out of my clothes and into a soft robe. I then made my way into the serenity room which it where I relaxed with my champagne and sunk into the big chair and read a magazine until the masseuse came to get me. 

I then followed him to the room and nestled myself into the massage table. I had the Cave Stone Massage which was amazing. The masseuse used warm stones to rub away all tension and stress. I was so relaxed I could barely get up when it ended.

After the massage I joined my girlfriends out by the pool for mia-tais poolside. 

The pool had the most comfortable padded lounge chairs and couches. The poolside service was perfection and the food we ordered was d*lish :)

We ended our time back inside the cave in the eucalyptus sauna and the salt water spa.

I am a girls girl and I love spending quality time with my besties and this was a for sure great place to relax and get in some serious girl time!! They also offer perfect couples packages as well if you and your love our in need of some date time. I definitely urge you to check it out. Plus they offer some fab specials.

Rockin'

I have been undeniably obsessed with all things rock. bahh ha ha! I have been falling in love with jewelry that has agates, marble and pretty much anything from the ground. But with accessories like these hitting the shop and online how can you blame me?

PS. I was seriously dying over an amazing clear crystal quartz necklace from thewayweare etsy shop I wanted to tell ya'll about it and poof its gone. I need to act faster next time I guess.

Peplum + shorts

Summer is here and I could not be happier. My most favorite summer shorts are the unexpected. I love lace (seen here) or a bold bright color. This weekend is going to be busy I am producing Crystal Gentilello's wedding. So, this will be my only post this week. I hope you all have a fabulous weekend.

Nailed It!!

I recently stumbled upon something amazing and I just had to share!! Have ya'll heard of Jamberry Nails?!

Well if not I have am about to blow you away. Jamberry Nails is an a-freakin'-mazing nail wrap that you apply to your nails and it last 2 weeks. The selection is huge and they are adding more all the time. I have fall head over heels. The application process can be tricky the first few times, but once you get the hang of them you will never go back to the standard polish again.

I had to tease you will a few of my most fav!

Navy & Lace

Sorry for the late post this week, wedding season is in full swing and I have been swamped. I am in love with all things nautical, so I decides to pair my go to lace summer shorts with my navy button down and I loved it. This outfit is perfect for a date night, shopping day or boating.

I would definitely say my summer staple is a pair of white lace shorts, talk about versatile. I will be donning this look this weekend for sure. Any fun plans?

Beauty Secret: Perfect Glowing Legs

I have stumbled upon the simple secret to soft glowing legs! Every day in the shower right before I am going to get out I grab the baby oil(which I keep in the shower) and slather it all over my legs. Then, I let the water rinse some of it off and when I step out of the shower and dry my legs they have a perfectly moisturize glow which gives your legs the look of perfection! 

This is something you really must try and how can you lose? Baby oil is only a few bucks.

Little Bit Rock-n-Roll

I love finding outfits that can transition easily from day to night and these tie die jeans are perfect for that.

White Hot

I LOVE white. As soon as the sun begins shining I am all about the all white ensemble. There is something so clean and cool about white that feels so refreshing on a hot summer day.

Denim & Lace

I teamed up with HiipSF to shoot a few looks for their website and I instantly feel in love with their perfect bags and story. I am all about fashion, but adding in such a sweet company that gives back is much more fashionable. This look is wonderful for a day to night look. I also have fallen in love with these amazing Silvano wood sunnies.

Peplums & Floral

I love getting creative with my clothes. If I want a specific look, but don't have the right piece I layer things. Here I wanted to wear a full floral skirt, but didn't own one. I just layers my peplum top over this full floral dress and added a belt.
