Blooming Fashionista...

Our close friends' daughter has been a beautiful light in my life for the last 4 years.  She is absolutely gorgeous, inside and out...the sweetest little girl with a hint of diva...and she keeps me smiling, full of hugs and kisses, every time I visit her.  I had to share these pics that her mommy sent me...perhaps Karl Lagerfeld's next muse??  I'm such a proud Auntie!

Yes, that's her real hair...and yes, she accessorizes every outfit herself.  She is fashion magic.

Happy Saturday!  I stopped by two of my favorite blogs this morning...I haven't visited in ages.  Wanted to share some finds that i thought you might enjoy, courtesy of Le Love and Le Fashion.  Enjoy the beautiful weekend!  xoxo

I love everything about her style - perfection

Bikini Bird...love

My fabulous friend, Tiana Becker and her friend Ally Lopez, started a totally awesome blog a while ago - Bikini Bird - that focuses on fashion, art, beauty and design, catering to the lovely ladies who live in or just have deep appreciation for beach lifestyle.  It's gained incredible attention since it's creation, and has quite a following of fashionistas, industry-experts, design junkies and beach-going beauties. 

I met Tiana years ago when she was living in So-Cal working for a surf/lifestyle brand...she's now living in Hawaii (where she's originally from), running a successful repping business in the surf industry and maintaining her blog that is quickly gaining fashion industry recognition and new followers every day.

For years, Tiana and I have talked about working together on a blog (thinking about starting a travel one because we both have crazy travel bugs...each of us having a need to jump on a plane every few months!), but in the meantime, she asked me to be a guest blogger on Bikini Bird, which of course I was super happy to do!!

I did my first post with her this week...about getting ready for bikini season and the perfect morning treat to help get you off on the right start.  Click here to see!

Below are some images I pulled from the site...so many beautiful photos, they do an amazing job over there...

To Tiana and the Bikini Bird team...much love and hope to see you in Hawaii next week xoxo

Kiss your life...

Hellllooo!  It's been so long...I will be back to my old blogger-self soon, I promise!  Just been super busy juggling lots of exciting things.  In the meantime, I thought I'd share an image that I found on my beautiful friend Angela's (owner & desinger of Cleobella) facebook, and wanted to share.  It's perfect.

Cleobella...LOVE

Searching for the perfect bag for any occasion? Something that will go with any outfit, any time? A bag that can transform old jeans and a t-shirt into something posh? Well search no further....Cleobella is your next must-have!!

Cleobella was started by my beeeeaaaautiful friend Angela and her lovely husband Jim, while traveling around the world for a year for their honeymoon (yeah, a year!). They spent much of their time in Bali, becoming inspired by the magical beauty of the culture - the colors, design, textiles, bohemian style and simple way of life. Being a fashionista with an entrepreneurial spirit, Angela began designing her dream collection - sophisticated with a bohemian/rocker twist. Only a few years later, she is now one of the #1 sellers on Shopbop.com, Anthropologie.com and she sells to top fashion boutiques and retailers from Fred Segal to Barney's.

No matter what your style, there is a Cleobella bag that's just right for you. http://www.cleobella.com/ Happy shopping!!!
