As the name of my website suggests, I’m immediately drawn to anything pretty that sparkles and shines. And even as a child, I would stand on my tiptoes to peek into the brightly-lit display cases at my local jewelers, Helzberg Diamonds, and admire the glittering jewelry. It all comes full circle for me now, as I admire and play with the captivatingly unique designs from Effy Jewelry at Helzberg Diamonds. From the warm rose gold tones mixed with tanzanite, to…

I’ve had a love/hate relationship with paper for years. Diaries started and left unfinished….agendas that I would forget to write in but covet year-over-year. My current planning obsession began with a Kate Spade planner that then turned into a Filofax fancy, and then spiraled wildly out of control–I’m now in possession of several Louis Vuitton planners. Shameful. I decided to try my hand at the desk agenda despite finding and acquiring my “unicorn” – a Louis Vuitton GM agenda in monogram…

But when I found out they had gone and released a cushion foundation overseas and it wasn’t available in the United States (yet) – well, let me tell you: I just had to have it. “The packaging is the best of any cushion foundation I’ve tried” The YSL “Le Cushion Encre de Peau” or Fusion Ink Cushion Foundation, SPF 23 PA ++ takes the well-received Fusion…
I thought I would share my July Favorites for 2016 with you! I had quite the stressful month – graduating, moving across the country to North Carolina, driving three days with the flu, and studying for two and a half weeks for my anesthesiology boards, which I took on July 29. I don’t know if I passed yet or not. I also started my first real job in medicine – as chief anesthesiologist at a regional hospital. It’s been stressful…
I’m so glad that I got to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale early because I saved hundreds of dollars on some pretty fab items. I’ll fully admit I loved EVERY SINGLE piece that I purchased, but these are my top 4 favorite fashion picks. If you’re thinking about pulling the trigger, act fast–things go out of stock quickly AND prices go up August 8. This Lush cross-strap long sleeved high-low top is that perfect mix between edgy and casual. I…

“Hair we go! The wild-haired dolls of your youth bring their rainbow tufts, bejeweled bellies and lucky charms to M·A·C Good Luck Trolls — a crazy-hued collection as silly as the characters themselves. Being a troll has never been so glamorous!” I’ve been fortunate enough to receivve some of the new collection from MAC called “Good Luck Trolls”, an ode to those ubiquitous trolls we all knew and loved, with fuzzy neon hair and jewels in their umbilicus. The first…
