Pura Vida

So I got back last night from Costa Rica...What an AMAZING trip. I have never traveled with all the people (well almost all) that I love so much. My niece did an amazing job as the flowergirl in the wedding! Here are some of my favorite photos from the trip!


More photos to come...

Next Purchase: Desk

Photo Credit: Hiving Out

So, I now have my new West Elm Entry table, and my next purchase is a new desk. The desk I currently have was one I purchased quickly from Target when I arrived here from New York. It is time to invest in a quality desk space that I will feel comfortable using every day. In a dream world, I would have a desk with the view above.

But...coming back down to reality, I live in Austin, Texas and have no window to gaze out at. Not yet anyway. So far I have narrowed down my search to a desk that is white (I am decorating for my future beach house people) and has some storage. Let me know which you prefer??!!!

Thanks

Lauren Moffatt: How I love thee

First of all, when it comes to clothes, I can never get enough dresses. I wear dresses all year round, with wedges in the summer and tights and boots in the winter. I have got to admit that I am not a huge fan of jeans. For that reason, I am 100% in love with Lauren Moffatts upcoming spring line. I am seriously going to mark my calender to remind myself to go shopping with these dresses hit the stores. Of course, in between now and then I am gonna have to find myself a suggar daddy to fiance this shopping extravenganza (J/K :) ).

Happy Shopping!

J. Crew Spring Collection

Take a look at this sneak peak of the Spring Collection for J. Crew, more to see at fashionolgie!. Looks so cute! I can't wait to start shopping. I especially love the long sequin skirt. I love how they paired it with the denim top to take a formal skirt to everyday causual.

Happy Shopping!

New York, NY

Boqueria

This past weekend I had the pleasure of visiting a friend in New York City. The two of us dressed up to the nines and had fabulous food and drinks all weekend long. It was the perfect girls weekend, filled with shopping, cosmos and great food.

Some of the restaurants we visited were Boqueria, Circo, and Good Restaurant in the West Village. Yum, Yum, Yum!!!!

At Boqueria: I highly recommend anything from the Tapas Menu and the Beet Salad

At Circo: I highly recommend the basic, yet delicious spaghetti with meat sauce and a margarita pizza

At Good Restaurant: I recommend the goat cheese and tomato appetizer and the peanut chicken salad.
Bon Appetit!
