Neon for Spring

A few weeks back, during a catch-up with one of my chicest friends who lives in LA, she asked me “So how fun is neon for spring?”

I have to admit, I was out of the loop at first and asked her what she meant. To which she replied that neon is all the rage this season and I better get on board.

Since then, neon seems to be everywhere I look. From the toes of other ladies at the salon this past weekend, to boards all over Pinterest, fashion week runways and the window at the Gap, Liz was right, neon is all the rage this season and I’m dying to get on board.

Here are few pops of color I’d love to work into my wardrobe/everyday world. How fun is it? Have you jumped on the neon bandwagon yet?

Weekend Recap

Happy Monday! Hope your weekends were fab. Mine was spent working on lots of projects to be revealed soon, preparing for Brazil and meeting and dining with lots of friends who I hadn’t seen in far too long.

What is it about a long catch-up with a good friend that is so therapeutic? I always leave feeling refreshed, centered and as if I could conquer anything…

Here are a few photos I snapped over the weekend! Cheers to a great week ahead!

Birthday Bash

So I realize my birthday was almost a week ago, so I promise that after this post I won't say another word about it... But I couldn't go without sharing some of the photos from my little soiree on Friday night. 


Friends came from far and wide to help me celebrate and ring in another year. And it was such a nice evening. 


We gathered at Clutch, one of my favorite bars in my neighborhood. It's warm and intimate and they have a great art collection and beer selection. I have to say, it was one of the best birthdays I can remember.

Benefit Beauty Party...

In between work craziness, all of the holiday festivities we’ve been partaking in and sheer exhaustion I have really been lagging behind on my posts this week. Are the few weeks at the end of the year always this hectic? For some reason I don’t remember things being this bad last year…

In any event, my weekend was jam-packed and the first few days of my week have been as well. On Tuesday evening I got a chance to mingle with some of my girlfriends at the Benefit store where they were putting on a little private event for us. It was a much-needed chance to relax, have a glass of wine, try out some glam makeup and catch up with friends. And I even scored a free eyebrow wax!

I have been a fan of Benefit’s products for some time now. They seem to give a special, much-needed glow even during these harsh winter months. And who doesn’t love that?

Something special for everyone on your list... Gifts for less than $20

One of my favorite parts of the holidays is the gift giving of the season. 

Sure it's fun getting things on your wish list, but there's something so satisfying about picking out the perfect present and watching someone get so excited about what you've given them. That's why I put extra effort into those on my special list.  

In a few weeks I'll be attending a Secret Santa party where the spending limit is $20. There are so many fun gifts that you can give for under $20. 

Which gift would you be most excited about getting?
