BRB


I returned from our Mexican paradise on the 12th of March and then have quickly turned into a workaholic and managed to work a 50 hour week-- last week and am off to another busy week again as I prepare for a big conference to take place this Friday! Phew..please stay tuned and I shall report back soon and have some photo pretties to share from our wonderful "spring break" trip to Mexico :-)!! Adios, for now~

Cabo "Spring Break"

"Spring break" doesn't really exist for me anymore now that I am in the adult world but it is spring break here at Georgetown (where I work) and therefore my husband and I decided to jet away with his grandparents and parents to sunny Cabo, Mexico and take advantage of the "spring break" for a week. It just so happens that his parents have spring break since they are both professors in CT and his grandparents, well they can get away whenever so it all worked out quite nicely. I couldn't be more excited to bask in the sunshine with my wonderful family, we have booked an in home massage at the house which I couldn't be more happy about (sounds quite dreamy, actually :)), and plan on swimming in the pool, enjoying freshly squeezed orange juice (believe me its heavenly, I've been thinking about it for the last few weeks! ahh) walks on the beach, day trips and fabulous meals out! Happy Friday and happy week, I will be back next Saturday! Adios, amigos :)

sprinkle some love

Happy Hump Day! It is now March and I am happy to say that the days are getting longer-therefore when I leave work it is not pitch black and I don't feel like I've been living in a tunnel all day-sigh of relief!!... flowers are coming up, the sunshine has peeked out for a longer hello. I'd have to say the only thing I struggle with these days are those in-between winter and spring clothing decisions, what to wear?!!!

So sprinkle a little love in your day and pray for spring days ahead, hooray~

And thats a Wrap!


Helen Mirren makes getting older look amazing, she has the best figure (look at the itsy bitsy waist, wowser) and I love the contrast of her silver hair with the charcoal grey dress...stunning
Cate Blanchett makes this interesting dress look divine and I love her chic blonde cut, she always looks quite chic
Camilla Alves not only has the prettiest coloring but makes this dress look out of this world good, wow...so simple, sophisticated and glamorous. She nailed it!

{Dawson Creek Corner}
Michelle rocks the pixie cut and bleached blonde look, look at her silhouette in the dress, maybe a little more color is needed so she doesn't look so translucent but I love how delicate her look is

Busy Phillips' dress was not one of my biggest thrills but she looks breathtakingly good, her makeup is phenomenal and I think her earrings were my absolute favorite from the Oscars, again the emerald coming through but a more muted shade, obsessed
Emerald was certainly the color of gem to be rocking at the Oscars and I have to say I not only loveee that color but it is my birthstone so double love :)
This necklace has that vintage, antique feel to it and I love the emerald pop of color in it, as well as her bracelet, hey Amy can I borrow those beauties :-)

Three of my favorite looks, after Mandy Moore that is...

Natalie makes being pregnant look so effortless, beautiful and I want her earrings! That plum color is just lovely

Reese looks fresh, polished and her usual gorgeous self. However I think she looks a little too Legally Blonde, like the black and white combo though and her hair!

Gwyneth looks modern, fresh and the minimalist look just works on her, she doesn't need a whole lot to pull of a winning look...plus her pin straight hair is definitely a go! And her figure, well that alone is every girls dream, sigh

Okay in the End
