Why is it that macaroons are the perfect girly treat. I am always drawn to this colorful petite sweet so I was ecstatic when the new coffee bar by my apartment had quite the selection of macaroons. I got the pink one which was strawberry filled with strawberry cream and then of course the blue one filled with chocolate. Prior to my trip to Parisi coffee, I hadn’t tasted a really yummy macaroon but these took the cake or should I say macaroon?

Wedding time is fast approaching which means lots of showers and festivities have been taking place. I just wrapped up shower number two this weekend and had a blast. There is something so fun about being surrounded by a group of your closest friends and celebrating one another as we each begin to get married. I wanted to share pictures of my shower that took place two weekends ago. My girls did an amazing job of decorating and chose the chic color scheme of yellow and gray. LOVE! They did such a great job . I definitely have some crafty friends who have an eye for design. Take a peak at the pictures below!

Today was a rather ordinary but extraordinary day. I took the most amazing yoga class at Darling Yoga . I bought a deal on Groupon for a month of unlimited classes. The one I took today was a mix of hatha and vinyasa yoga mixed with aromatherapy. A unique touch to the class was when the instructor put on audio of people telling how they express gratitude while we were in a stretching pose. It was powerful to hear how people both young and old express their gratitude each and every day. One of the stories reminded us that we only have today and today i s a gift. It was very healing and grounding!
A few random musings from around the web below for a little mid week inspiration. Remember its enjoying and taking in the small things around us like different scents, clouds in the sky or the colorful world around us.

Yet another snow has come and hit us again and as I look out my window, all I see is white! Lately white has been associated with cold winter weather but after seeing these pictures, it makes me think of warmer days ahead. My fiancé and I are planning our honeymoon to Key West, FL and I am currently craving the dress below as a casual day look or swimsuit cover up for the trip.

It is so interesting to see how fashion blogs have completely taken off and are so popular. They have become almost an addiction! I know that personally, fashion blogs provide an outlet for creativity and inspiration. The people we follow on the big fashion blogs have almost become like celebrities.
New York fashion week recently happened which draws fashion bloggers from all over. As you can imagine it also draws a bunch of unique styles that local photographers go crazy over. The video Take My Picture describes this new frenzy perfectly. Seeing these fashionable people on the streets is unique because people can relate to these “normal” people who are bloggers, writers, entrepreneurs… and are inspired to see such inspiring personal styles.

I have been wanting to decorate my cubicle at work with some eclectic pieces that have an international feel. I had a little free time this weekend so I headed over to Anthropologie and found some must haves that will look great on my desk. I was so inspired to see all the unique decorating that Anthropologie incorporates into their stores. Its so refreshing to shop somewhere that goes beyond standard style and incorporates different cultures into their products.
{Anthro find to spice up my cubicle. I plan to fill the dish with paperclips. push pins etc}

There is something about Saturdays that I love so much! Maybe its the lazy mornings, time to catch up with friends or palling around town. My sister was in town this weekend so we did a bit of shopping and catching up.
This look was casual enough for a Saturday but perfect for a girls weekend. The cream sweater I’m wearing is to die for soft and cozy for the chilly weather (notice the snow in the background).

Who is ready for spring? This girl! Especially after all this snow that we have had lately, it is making me itch for lighter colors and lace fabrics. In order to make it to spring, I needed a little inspiration to help me get excited. I love this peach and cream combo (they are my wedding colors!) of fashion and decor. Let your eyes feast on the spring colors!

One of my goals this year is to become more healthy which includes cleaning up my diet and being more green. I started by redoing some of my beauty regimens where I have replaced harsh chemical filled products with natural ingredients from the kitchen.
My first concoction was a homemade oatmeal scrub.
Here is how you make this natural skin remedy:
1 tbs. Honey
2 tbs. Oatmeal
1/2 tbs. Apple Cider Vinegar
My skin was incredibly soft after I did the scrub. If you have any other natural beauty remedies please do tell, I would love to know.
Love, lo
