royal

I know I'm going to be the 68451358387463 person to do a post on the royal wedding, but... 

Catherine Middleton, the new Duchess of Cambridge, looked absolutely stunning. 

I love her McQueen dress- so elegant and classy!

Also, congrats to Jacquelyn for winning the ShiBang Designs Giveaway! 

Thank you to everyone who participated!

I've never been to Coachella. 

Every year it passes.. I hear about the amazing performances and see the street style photos and I always say "I think I want to go to that." It will happen someday, for now I will just obsess over all of the outfits.

Versace Bright Crystal- I am absolutely in love with this floral scent

Laura Mercier Lip Sheer in Bare Lips- This color compliments my natural lip color perfectly. I also want to try the Baby Lips color.

Clinique Cream Shadow in Sparkling Nude- This color works well for night and day looks.

Tarte EmphasEYES- This inner rim brightener gives you a nice refreshed look. 

Neutrogena Hand Cream- Works wonders on my dry hands.

Nars Blush in Deep Throat- The perfect color for Spring & Summer.

sneak peek

I recently registered for an Etsy seller's account so I can start selling some of my jewelry. 

Here's a quick peek at some of the stones I'm using. These necklaces will be perfect for summer!

tea party

I purchased this perfect little number at Targét this past weekend. Much to my surprise it is from the Rodarte for Target collection. I love the color, detailing, pattern, and the fact that it was only $39.99. 

A girl can never have too many dresses.

Also, I was so surprised/excited when Cindy from COME OVER TO THE DARK SIDE WE HAVE CANDY informed me on Saturday that I was the winner of the $100 Shopbop Gift Card Giveaway! Yay!

Hope everyone is having a lovely start of the week!

lately

A few things that have been making me happy lately:

Watching the sunset from our bedroom window, picnics followed by naps at 20th St. in Del Mar, 

gemstones to make jewelry, fresh flowers, and the hummingbird haven in our backyard.
