I survived another Golden Globe Awards! This was actually my fifth or sixth time (I’ve lost count) working the show and every year is so different. I wanted to share some behind the scenes pictures I took. The day is kind of a blur… lots of steaming, running around, finalizing jewelry and accessories and some fun too. Around 2 pm we make our way to the red carpet and are on a very chaotic lockdown for hours as the stars arrive and do interviews. But I won’t bore you with all that, let’s just get to the pics. continue reading

These baja print shorts are an old favorite pair I love to wear when it’s warm. I added a few new pieces like this theory top with the open back and my brand new rose gold tkees for fun pops and brought in some staple pieces  too. It’s no secret I love wearing shorts (just look at all my recent outfits posts) and this look is one I’ll be repeating all summer long!

Hope you had a nice weekend and Mother’s Day. I spent the weekend at Disneyland and on the lake and am wishing I had one more day off. Oh well! I love the hemline on this dress, it’s what drew me to it. I’m always looking for unique details when I’m shopping and this zig-zagged hem was just that. It’s the perfect look for cocktails, a wedding or even a graduation.

I was so excited to take these pics. But once I saw them I was like, “ughhh.” It was the wrong time of day with the sun shinning directly over my head turning the best setting into not the best set of photos. So, while most of them will never see the light of day I’m moving forward with a few… there’s always next time Balboa Island. Sometimes I feel like it’s my first time doing this.

Side note – how well do the colors in my outfit blend into the setting? It’s like I think I’m hunting seagulls or something. continue reading

Last week I was lucky enough to be invited to a Swarovski event at their new store at The Grove. After I previewed their new collection and tried on some jewels I joined a few other bloggers friends (and met some new ones!) for dinner with the lovely ladies of Swarovski.

Here are a few photos from the event.

 ps – I told you yesterday I was over wearing that jacket, here I am wearing it again!

If you follow me on instagram you’ve already seen the pictures from dinner. continue reading
