Lovely SoCal

I spent some time down in lovely SoCal and thought I'd share a few snapshots.

Engagement Photo Session

You know those cheesy engagement photos everyone does?  Yep, we did them.  I am actually pretty happy with how they turned out.  We chose the vineyards as our backdrop since it is one of our favorite places to spend time at.  The funny thing is I went to get all dolled up that day, my hair stylist did a beautiful job with giving me a blowout.  But it was SO windy when we did the photos I'm actually happy we had some decent ones!  :)

Recipe: Spicy Skinny Girl Margarita

I'm sure by now a lot of you know about Skinny Girl margarita's.  The low calorie alcoholic beverage already mixed you just pour and enjoy!  I'm about to show you a way to literally spice up your Skinny Girl (this could also work with a regular margarita).

There is this great Mexican restaurant where I live and they had something called a spicy margarita.  My fiance and I decided to try it one night and ever since then I have been hooked!  I wasn't exactly sure all of the ingredients they used but I do remember seeing jalapeños in my drink and decided I would try making my own spicy margarita at home.




Step 1:   Take a jalapeño and chop it up.




Step 2: Add ice to your glass and as much (or little) jalapeño as you like, depending on how much spice you want.




Step 3:  Add the Skinny Girl margarita then muddle the jalapeño to loosen up the seeds and really get the spice and flavor mixed in there.




Voila!  You have yourself a spicy margarita!  Super good and refreshing with an extra kick.  Give it a try!  :)

Birthday Girl!

Not only was yesterday Mother's Day but it was also my birthday along with my dad's birthday! It was definitely a big day of celebrations for my family and what better way to celebrate with a nice lunch on a hot day in a new dress??

 I've been holding onto this Red Valentino dress from The Outnet for a while now. For some reason I just hadn't found the right moment to wear it. When I saw it shining in my closet yesterday I knew it was the perfect dress to start the last year of my 20's! After lunch it was back to the pool to float around with a margarita in my hand. A chill day is just what I needed!

The Pink Suit

I've been feeling under the weather for the past few days, somehow I caught a nasty nasty cold!  Hoping for a speedy recover, but in the mean time I thought I'd do a fun post with cute little theme, the pink suit and matching pillbox hat!

Who can ever forget the classic pink Chanel suit worn by Jackie Kennedy?


I love this look on Princess Diana.  How perfectly tailored is this suit on her??




Queen Maxima does her own take on the look with a brighter pink and tired skirt.  The color is gorgeous!


Who can forget this fashion moment from Legally Blonde 2, Capital Hill Barbie! :)

Chic Sisters

Pippa and Kate have both stepped out in two different but elegant looks recently and I couldn't help dedicating a post to them.

Pippa looked chic in this beautiful blue dress with matchy matchy grey accessories.  I really loved the way her hair was styled with this fascinator, and of course she paired it all with classic pumps.


Kate is probably the best dressed pregnant woman I have ever seen. She seriously never gets it wrong and always looks so put together! She has stepped out in a designer that I absolutely adore in this peach coat by Tara Jarmon. She completes this chic look with her classic nude pumps. Love love love!
