Blazer Love

2011-08-18T12:22:00.000-05:00

It's hard to find a terrific blazer that not only fits perfectly but just looks stunning overall. But my friends, I think I've found it! This animal print jacket is the perfect find! And I don't know about you guys, but I love blazers that look good with shorts!

So Fabulous

2011-08-15T09:04:00.001-05:00

Rosie is certainly certainly a stunner but with these Chloe ballet flats she looks A M A Z I N G! I want me a pair!!

Color of the Day: Green

2011-08-13T14:35:00.001-05:00

Colors that pop are my weakness. And in this case, green is what's doing it for me! I don't decorate much with green, ok, I don't decorate with it at all, but these pictures are most certainly changing my mind!

They sure grow fast, don't they? Before you know it your little baby is going to preschool and then graduation from high school. This feet chart is an adorable way to charish those early days and those little precious feet! Awww...

Do or Don't

2011-08-11T10:32:00.006-05:00

Oh how I love colorful nails! I love even more unique styles and shades. But switching it up and having a few different colors at one time? I'm not sure how I feel about this. My first inkling is to say, no way, jose! But on second thought, I do like uniqueness. What are your thoughts? Do you like different colored nails? Are they a do or a don't?

Lamp Crush

2011-08-08T11:52:00.017-05:00

A bedside lamp covered with cork board? I'll take one! What a creative, versatile look. One day it can be adorned with precious pictures, the next with reminder notes of what has to be done the next day. Yes, this is my kind of lamp!

Gold = Fabulousness

2011-07-19T12:42:00.001-05:00

Do or Don't

2011-06-23T08:34:00.000-05:00

Ok, summer is here and I think I'm comfortable in admitting that going to a nude or topless beach someday is on my bucket list. It probably won't be this year as I haven't been doing as many sit ups as I'd like but I'm getting there. (Because when in Rome...!) But let me ask all of you, going to a nude or topless beach, is this a do or don't for you? Would you ever do it? Have you done it?

So Fabulous

2011-06-22T14:42:00.001-05:00

... are these star cuffs. A perfect summer accessory. Really my friends, what wouldn't these great gold pieces go with?

Painted Floors

2011-05-22T10:45:00.001-05:00

These painted floors are a perfect alternative to the basic carpet, wood or vinyl options that most of us choose. From random designs to creative stenciling, this type of flooring certainly adds interest, color and beauty to any room!! Let's get painting!

Happy Friday

2011-05-20T10:07:00.000-05:00

Happy Friday my Lovlies! I'm so glad the weekend is finally here as life has been quite the whirlwind lately! I just haven't been able to catch up since I got back into town from Boston. Not that I think this weekend is going to be any less busy { because I already have a mile long to-do list } but I think I'll be able to throw in a little fun in the mix ;-) Oh, and I might catch the movie Bridesmaids on Sunday... have you seen it yet? Looks hillarious! Have a great weekend friends!! Make sure you get some fun in too :-)

Simply. Stunning.

I'm So Excited

2011-05-06T09:27:00.003-05:00

Happy Friday my dears! How was your week? I am SOO thrilled the weekend is finally here because I'm flying out to Boston tomorrow to go to the NBA Playoffs!! It's the Celtics vs Heat baby! And we have third row seats!! So yes, if you didn't know, I'm a gigantic basketball fan. And who am I rooting for? The Heat, of course, because that's the team my boyfriend LBJ plays on! He's so adorable. I could just eat him!!

And if you live in the Boston area, do you have any places you recommend we visit or must see spots? This is my first time to the area and would love some tourist tips!!

Current Obsession

I'm not quite sure what needs to be said besides I LOVE this look! How fabulous would this up-do be with a LBD on a Friday night? Anything that results in a second glance or an 'oh my gosh' is amazing in my book. Friends, this is certainly a second glance look!

Perfectly Placed

2011-05-04T13:19:00.002-05:00

I've mentioned this a few thousand times before but I love tattoos. I've always favored the smaller, more conspicuous ones but this one really caught me eye. It's perfectly positioned and perfectly shaped. And how cute would this look with a bikini top? I know... VERY! Anyone up for getting one with me?? Oh, and if you're curious, the script says regret nothing. What would your word or phrase say?

Fishnets. These pictures say it all. They're classy, sophisticated and oh so sexy! Ladies, a pair of gorgeous black fishnets have now been added to the top of my must-buy list. I think my man in will be very happy with that.

Headboard Alternatives

2011-04-21T11:47:00.000-05:00

I've preached this before but I think headboards are the most important part of any bedroom. Their presence alone adds so much to a room! I've been obsessed with upholstered headboards for the longest time but now, I'm loving headboard alternatives... planks of wood nailed strategically to the wall or two old scrapped doors perfectly placed. These, my friends, are exactly what I'm talking about...

New Product I H♥art

2011-04-20T11:23:00.001-05:00

They say one reason we don't use the exercise equipment we buy is because we don't ever really know how to use it... and I agree! When I look at my gym ball, all I see is a ball that collects dust. But did you know you can use it to do a ton of ab exercises that works that core of yours? {Think summer & swimsuits girls!} And the exercises are printed right on the ball so you never have to wonder how the heck to use it.... Brilliant!! TrainerBrands carries foam rollers and yoga mats that have moves printed on them too! I just love this idea!

Simply. Stunning.

I've seen wood pallets recycled into chairs, coffee tables, and headboards but honestly, those are kinda big projects! These pallet wall shelves though, are completely do-able! How great would these look in the cabin up North or at the winter ski lodge? The rustic look is gorgeous & oh so unique!

Happy Weekend

2011-04-15T13:01:00.000-05:00

Ok my friends, do you want the good news or bad news first? The bad news? Ok, well it's freezing today here in Minnesota! Actually, this whole weekend is suppose to be cold & I don't like it one little bit!! I wanted it to be nice and sunny so that I could get the ol' bike out of the garage :-( So, now onto the good news... It's the weekend!! Doesn't the sound of that just put a big smile on your face? It does for me! Friends, have any plans for this weekend?

Simple Love

2011-04-14T11:12:00.001-05:00

I'm beginning to think that simplicity should have been my middle name. Everything that appeals to me is simple or subtle or almost even plain. And I guess that's why these gorgeous tables caught my eye... they consist of only wood pieces and metal legs. To me, they're brilliantly simple. I'm in love!

Do or Don't

2011-04-13T09:26:00.000-05:00

I'm a gigantic fan of The Sartorialist, mostly because of the men's fashion. I LOVE seeing what trendy men are wearing these days.. or at least the men of Milan. But when I came across these two gentlemen, I was a little torn. Do a like the hodgepodge of colors, patterns and textures? Is it brilliant or way too much? What do you think my friends... do or don't?

Happy Monday

2011-04-11T11:17:00.001-05:00

Happy Monday my Friends! How was your weekend? It was gorgeous up here in Minnesota! The sun was out and the weather was perfect. But along with nice weather comes summer colds... which I've caught. {Boo!} But I'm drinking my fluids and taking my vitamins and I'm hoping to feel better soon. Have an AMAZING week my friends! I love and appreciate all of you!! xo Jen

Lip Love

2011-04-10T10:22:00.000-05:00

Looking at these gorgeous lip colors make me want to run over to Target and pick up about the new shades. Because friends, I'll be honest with you, I think I've been using the same shade for the last two years! I know, BORING. But now, I have some new inspiration & I'm ready to spice my lips up!

Current Obsession

2011-04-07T10:32:00.001-05:00

My current obsession is {drum roll please}... sequins!! Ok, ok, maybe not the typical sequins prom dress but I'll most certainly take an adorable top and cute socks like these! But then again, I'lll take anything that adds a little shimmer and shine to my outfit. It's all about those second looks, isn't it girls? ;-)

New Product I H♥art

2011-04-06T10:56:00.004-05:00

Anytime I come across a new product that I fall in love with, I try to spread the word. This my friends, is worth listening to!! FOR ALL OF YOU CONTACT & GLASSES WEARERS OUT THERE, you know glasses are EXPENSIVE. I used to only buy them once every 5 years because of their cost. But Zenni Optical is an on-line glasses store where you can buy prescription glasses for only a few dollars! Ok, ok, I really didn't believe it myself, but after reading a ton of great on-line reviews and buying 2 pairs myself, I'm hooked! All you do is go to Zenni, pick out your favorite pair (hundreds to pick from) and input your latest prescription and PD information. (Your PD can be provided by your eye Dr. or Zenni has on-line instructions for you to figure out yourself.) Below is most recent pair from Zenni. $17! And I can see perfectly! Your pocket book will thank you ;-)

2011-03-29T09:04:00.002-05:00

Good Morning my Lovlies! I hope you are all doing well. I'm sure you've noticed I haven't posted in almost a week (in fact, it looks like I've lost a few follwers because of it). My friends, I've had a tough couple of weeks and I'm just trying to get through each day. I had a very big decision to make. And although in my heart of hearts I know I made the right decision, I can't help but be terribly saddened. Please friends, just give me another day or two and I'll be back in business, I promise. I have some great posts for you... I just need one more day. xo Jen

Hi friends! How's your day going? Most of you know that I love unique jewelry. So when I came across this piece, I just had to share. Isn't it gorgeous?? The blue is STUNNING! So that I could find who makes it, I Googled "snake bracelet". Friends, you have no idea how many amazing snake bracelets there are out there!! I was shocked, because now, I don't only want this one, I want about 5 other ones too!! Just a warning, if you want to save your credit card, don't Google "snake bracelets" ;-)

2011-03-15T08:43:00.002-05:00

Happy Monday Darlings! I hope your weekend was relaxing and enjoyable! I was invited to a house party on Friday and of course didn't want to show up empty handed. As a gift to the host, I brought a bottle of wine. I wanted to dress the bottle up so I made this cute little sweater sleeve for it. It was super simple to make! And my friend LOVED it!! Here are the instructions:

1.) Cut the sleeve off an old sweater.

2.) Figure out how much of the bottle you want to cover. You can do the entire length of the wine bottle or right below the neck (where I did it). Pin the area where you want it to end and cut off the excess sweater sleeve.

3.) Turn the sweater sleeve inside out and either machine or hand sew the bottom (just takes a couple of stiches). Cut the excess right below the stiches. This will be where the bottom of the bottle is.

4.) Turn the sleeve back to the right side and slide the wine bottle in. You can sew in twine around the opening (like I did) or you can add simple things like a bow or pretty ribbon, pom poms or even buttons down the side. Don't forget to add a card!

Feather Love

2011-03-13T10:27:00.002-05:00

You can't escape the Haldane Martin ostrich feather pendant light, it's everywhere! But then again, it IS gorgeous! Can you imagine having this pendant lighting in your living room or foyer? Oh, the compliments you would get!! And if you're being creative and have some time on your hands... you can try making these on your own.

Friends, you know that I LOVE my leopard so of course I squealed with delight when I saw these babies at my local Marshalls last night. And then when I tried them on and they fit perfectly, yeah, I squealed a bit louder. A little embarrassing yes, but who cares, I walked out of the store with a gorgeous pair of new Max Studio leopard heels with a perfect 3 inch heel!! They're similar to these obsessions... but just a 'lil more practical :-)

The runways usually excite us with the upcoming season's new styles. But this one, I'm still deciding about. I wore shirts like this back in high school, but am I willing to wear them again? I'm not so sure. What do you think my friends... are buttons-in-the-back shirts a do or a don't? Will we be seeing you rocking these??

I usually don't do two posts in a day but my friends, I have something to share with you. I told you last week that I was on the hunt for these beauties. And after two days of calls, I was told that unless I knew the style number or the month that they came out, finding them {and ordering them} would not be possible... that from the Chanel 800 number. So, I decided to focus on something else... the Hermes H bracelet!! And guess what? I ordered it and it just arrived today!! It is more gorgeous than I thought it would be! {Me = Big Smile!!}

Enter the marc jacobs perfume GIVEAWAY.

Braid Love

2011-03-02T08:52:00.006-06:00

I love braids and it doesn't look like this trend is going away anytime soon. We see it on the runways, in the magazines and on our favorite blogs. And my guess is, this style is going to be even hotter this summer! So my friends, how do you rock your fabulous braids?

Where in the world are you?

Hear Ye!

Bundle Up

Friends, it's cold up here in Minnesota! During winter months, we are typically in single or negative digits. So when I saw these gorgeous pictures, I could relate. This is how I leave the house everyday - all bundled up! But what do I love the most about these pictures? The high collars! I love, love high collars... just like this one.

Ok, my friends, I'm in love! Aren't these Chanel hoop earrings gorgeous?? I've seen them on celebs before {beyonce wears hers all the time} but I think it's high time I get my pair of my own. Problem is, I can't seem to find them anywhere! Do any of you know where I can buy these beauties?

Angel Love

2011-02-21T10:13:00.000-06:00

Last year it was the wishbone jewelry that caught our eyes. This year? It's the angel wings that are capturing our hearts. What a perfect way to add a little femininity to our wardrobes while adding that little touch of angel closeness. Perfect and pretty? Most certainly!

Happy Weekend

It's Friday and my lovlies, I'm most certainly ready to get this weekend started! No big plans but that's just how I like it. Free to do whatever, whenever! I don't get those kind of weekends very often so I'm going to enjoy it... by starting it off with a glass of wine! Cheers to all of you!

Watch Love

2011-02-17T09:36:00.002-06:00

I have to admit, I never wear a watch. I figure what's the point of a watch when my cell is glued to my palm? But friends, that might soon change as I can't get enough of the Michael Kors ceramic watches for Spring! They have that perfect combination of class & casualness and they won't break the bank... love that! Check 'em out here.

I love inspiration around my desk space at home... quotes, pictures, pages ripped from magazines. Anything that gets my imagination flowing. Check out these desk spaces. They certainly don't lack inspiration, do they??

Reader Help

Good Morning my friends! I'm here today to ask for your help. I'm in need of a new camera (preferably a digital SLR) and since I'm always in such awe of all of your blog photos and self pics, I'd like to ask all of you: What kind of camera would you recommend or what kind of camera would you buy today if you could? Any lenses or equipment I should get with it? Any brands or styles I must stay away from? Any advice is appreciated! Thanks all. ♥ UPDATE: Thank you for all the comments already... This is such great information!!!

Today I'm loving this little desk area. But what I'm reeealy loving is that poster above the desk "work hard & be nice to people". Is there any better advice than that? I love it!! Wish all of my favorite sayings were hung right above my desk area like that!
