Summer Love

I love to rant and rave about things that make me happy.
My hubby, summer time, Royal Weddings, shoes...
So many things to love.

But there is one thing I hate, hate, hate... and that is paying full price for shoes.

Sounds silly, I know. But let's just all admit that we all have our vices. For some, it's jewelry, others it's sugar or skinny jeans (or in my husband's case...cars).
Mine is shoes and accessories.

I know this may come off snobby, but I love being that girl that has the perfect coordinated outfit. Call me shallow, but I think most women love that little title of "the fashionable one".

Admit it...You know you love that title. ;)

And since I was on a strict "my husband is in school" budget and our Marshall's here in SoCal isn't that great, I've had to resort to other methods.

So, here I am...sharing my knowledge to those of you that might be interested...

Best shoe stores ever:

These were my recent present from me...to me.

Enjoy!

I might be slightly obsessed...

There is something magical about weddings.

But add in the 'Royalty' factor and a picture-perfect, uber-stylish bride and I'm hooked!

I've been pretty quiet about my obsession with Kate Middleton...or, now known as Her Royal Highness, Duchess of Cambridge. But after watching the wedding at 1:00amPST this morning while on the phone with my best friend Holly, I think it is time to let my little freak flag fly.

"Love the bag, love the shoes, love everything!"

Two thumbs WAY up for the modest Maid of Honor dress...

...and Kate's 2nd dress for the reception

Like I said...magical!

Big Blonde Changes....

There have been some big changes in our little household this week.

And one of those changes: I'm no longer a brunette.

Yes my friends, I've gone back to blonde. Reunited and it feels so good!

My picture resolution isn't the best, but it gets the job done:

Me with my new fancy-pants hair clippie I made yesterday

My stylist added a little feather action underneath my top layers for a little pizazz.

So much hair...and maybe just a little too much time in front of the webcam

Clearly I'm ready for summer!

Blonde vs. Red...Which One, Which One?

I've been sporting the brunette look for awhile now and I'm ready for a change.

The problem is...I don't know which direction to go!

Blonde or Red???

I've been a blonde before and it is my "go-to" color. It is definitely the safe choice!

But I've been thinking about going red...a bold red!

Decisions, decisions....

Here are my past colors and the RED I'm thinking about...

Past Color:

Current Color:

Possible color????

What do you think?

Sunday Lovelies...

After some prodding from my friends, I've decided to start posting some of the deals and items that catch my eye. Sharing the wealth so to speak.

So, here are a few things I'm lovin' right now...

Revlon Grey Suede Nail Polish

My sweet friend, Whitney Rice, works with Revlon which means she has access to tons of samples. Thankfully, she donated this gorgeous Revlon Grey Suede polish to my collection and I'm obsessed with it. Such a classy and simple color, this polish has easily become my go-to color.

Whippy Cake
(www.whippycake.com)

I found this website, Whippy Cake, a few months ago which sells the cutest hair accessories. Each clip is the perfect vintage, eclectic accessory that elevates any outfit. I kept my choices a little on the neutral side for my first purchase, but there are so many other clips with fun patterns and colors that I can't wait to try.

Also, the owner of Whippy Cake does great hair and makeup video tutorials...which is how I found her website in the first place.

Happy Sunday everyone!!

Best. Decision. Ever.

3 years ago today, I married my best friend for time and all eternity.

Best decision of my life.

The Jig is Up...

For Mike's graduation vacation, we are going to Cancun!

I'm super excited for the vacation, but really bummed out that Mike figured it out. I was keeping this surprise for 2 months!

And that is hard for me since I hate surprises.

But in the end, I guess it doesn't matter when Mike figured it out. The important thing is we are going together.

He was pretty shocked too since I had him thinking we were going to Texas or Idaho for a week.

Yeah...that's right. I can be sneaky when I need to be.

We have 2 more weeks people! 2 MORE WEEKS!
