Tommy Obsessed

If you have not heard of Tommy Ton already you absolutely have been missing out. I have been following him since his blog Jak&Jill. He is an amazing fashion photographer and has a keen eye for capturing the most simple yet striking fashion moments. Can you tell I am in love? You can find his work at Style.com


P.S. My sentiments are genuine and are in no way endorsed...just a fashion crush is all.

A Splash of Color

I absolutely adore my neutral tones but given that it is time for Spring I am trying to incorporate more color into my life. It is time for me to bid adieu to my comfortable, relaxing neutrals, and add a dash of spice with bright, exuberant colors. I think I should start small...

Love filled with light.

I love how Kate Spade can just color me witty. 

Abstract artwork, with the prettiest colors.

Coral Obsession

Can I tell you there is nothing I fancy more than a good shade of coral.






New Chapter

Hello old friend. I have been MIA lately because I am trying to write a new chapter to the story that is my life. I am sorry for having left you for a while, I hope we can still be friends.

Moo Moo Loves Little Bear

24 years ago your mom popped you out and I am so glad she did. Happy Birthday to my life long partner in crime, the shoulder that I have leaned on, and the one I have shared belly-aching laughs with. A true friendship is one that has had ups and downs, yet you still find solid ground within one another. I love you and look forward to the many more birthdays we have in store. 

Here are the little things in life that you have made into the important things because they remind me of you. 

I could not have said this better myself...and our slogan is "You have issues!"


For you always loving balloons and getting excited over the little things.


For loving Mr. Whale


For Tatiana 


For Henry


For loving the color purple along with anything that blooms.

For always being my other half my M&M.


I love you friend for all that you do and all that you are.


Happy Birthday My Darling Little Bear.

Pharmacias

My absolute obsession in Europe was the pharmacies. Though much of the products are french they can be found all over Europe and some even in the states. Pharmacies in Europe are not like those in states in that they are very holistic and natural. It is no wonder that these woman are always so au naturale with their beauty regimens, their hair and skin is absolute perfection. 


Avene Thermal Spring Water Spray

Phyto one of the absolute best hair lines out there!

Ducray Lip Cream

Caudalie Gentle Buffing Cream. I pair this and the Boscia gentle cleansing wash on my Clairsonic and it does wonder.

Rodger and Gallet Body Oil, this is also an amazing hair oil.

As Winter Fades Spring Blossoms

I am back from my vacation and it is bittersweet. There is so much to say and so much I want to show you from the trip but to keep it simple all I have to say is that Europe is everything I ever dreamed of and more, particularly France and Italy. I still have a great deal of Europe to discover but for now my dreams will have to do until I venture that way again.

One of the most magical things about Italy and Paris was the beautiful nature. What better way to welcome Spring than to share pictures of some blossoming flowers I found. 

Ranunculus in Paris

I can't figure out what these flowers are called, care to share if you know?

Tulips in Brussels

Again, I wish I knew the name.


My mother's favorites...Hyacinths.

 I searched Paris far and wide and it was not Peony season but with determination comes success and though they were not as grand as I expected, love is love.
