Villa Rosa

The Real Housewives is my guilty pleasure. Please tell me you at least watch Beverly Hills. I mean, Kyle and Kim?? Scandy Brandi? Utterly fabulous Yolanda? Crazy Taylor? Always elegant Lisa? And who could forget Jiggy! My parents absolutely HATE that I watch it so whenever they're out of the house I try and squeeze in a few episodes. Sadly, no I'm not here to discuss the drama of Adrienne and Paul's failing marriage from the last episode, I'm here to discuss Lisa's AMAZING new house Villa Rosa (she named her house. what.). 




Villa Rosa's gorgeous, elegant entryway


Crisp black and white pool room with amazing dark hardwood floors


Black and stainless steal mod kitchen (w/ too coffee pots? why not!)


Blush and mirrored bedroom with french doors, leading out to a beautiful balcony


Extravagant, yet tranquil, blush, white, and mirrored bathroom



Can we all just take a moment of silence for this closet...



And another moment for this pool... double balconies... covered seating... and floor to ceiling windows...


Soothing outdoor covered seating, looking out onto this breathtaking view of the Hollywood Hills



I think we can all agree that we'd love to live like a Beverly Hills Housewife. Or at least in their homes.

Pinspiration Vol 2

Today was a jean day. Skinny jeans and a chambray shirt. As simple as can be but classy at the same time. It's a perfect combination of relaxed and chic. In the second edition of my new series: chambray.







Sidenote: These flats are my favorite pair of shoes besides my brown leather boots. They are the most comfortable pair of shoes and so versatile. Steve Madden, I love you.

Namaste...

With all the stress that comes along with high school, getting ready for junior year, and starting to think about college, I need a remedy for my stress. Enter yoga. Hot yoga to be more precise. It's my new activity that I plan to commit to at least twice a week in order to relieve myself of some stress. Two times a week where I can take a study break and just have an hour of peace and warmth to myself. I figure that not only will the heat be relaxing but it makes my break productive, adding an element of exercise to it, releasing all of those lovely endorphins that our brains crave.

I bought myself a pretty blue yoga mat, take a huge water bottle, throw on some comfy exercise wear and head out for my little break from this crazy world. 


For sixty minutes I get to remove myself and not worry about what others think, homework I need to get done, or agenda I need to write up. Just me and my fellow yogis: 




My favorite YouTube video just btw haha.

Pinspiration Vol 1

Yay for new segments! I call it Pinspiration. A bit cheesy, I know, but it's the best way I could describe my love for Pinterest and how I work to transform my fantasy virtual wardrobe into my reality not so fancy wardrobe. These posts will consist of my version of my favorite Pins on my "My Style" board.

This week was I nice feisty combination of leopard and fire engine red....




I picked up this little gem on Pinterest and.....



Voila! An assumed much cheaper, version of one of my favorite pins :)


Part one of many to come!!

The Oscars

Movies are my first love. They're a comfort, a joy, something to share with others. A big part of my life and my family's life so of course I watch all the award shows. And for you all who know movies, you know that the Oscars is the best of the best. And besides the show, which I love, the red carpet brings my love of movies and fashion together into one huge magical, multi-million dollar affair. Here were my favorite looks from this year.


Jennifer Lawrence in a beautiful sculptural Dior


Jessica Chastain in shimmery Armani Prive


Charlize Theron in clean and crisp Dior


Jennifer Aniston in perfect blood red Valentino


Kerry Washington in a gorgeous coral, embellished Miu Miu


Samantha Barks in a beautifully simplistic Valentino

Just a few of my faves! Can't wait for next year!
