May Favorites 2015
The month of May went by ever so quickly - and it's one of my favorites. My birthday was May 1, and my anniversary was May 12. Two of my most favoritest (I'm making that a word) people also celebrate their birthdays in May, so it really just feels like a month of celebrations.
HG Edit: The Perfect T-Shirt
As I've mentioned before, my style has evolved quite drastically from early days of this style & beauty blog. No longer am I interested in adding layers upon layers, stacking rings and bracelets galore. I'm more interested in quality, minimalism, and investing in pieces that will stand the test of time.
Because of this evolution and the fact that I realize I haven't shared this process with you yet, I've decided to start a capsule collection of posts that I'm calling the "HG Edit" (HG stands for Holy Grail).
Back To The Basics Of Love
There's a song that HB loves to sing in the car, called "Luckenbach, Texas", sung by Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson, and it's this song my husband was singing to me before we shot the photos of this casual Saturday outfit.

Terms of Endearment
When it comes to the history of this great city I live in, there are a few hidden gems. One of them happens to be the house where they filmed the classic Shirley MacLaine and Jack Nicholson movie, Terms of Endearment. We are frequently in this area of town, so we decided to use the house as our backdrop for today's outfit.
Argan't Believe My Eyes
Pardon the pun. Argan oil is an ancient beauty secret from Morocco that is referred to as "liquid gold" for its nourishing properties. It also happens to be the star ingredient in a number of luxury beauty brands, but never before has it been so prominently part of a collection available in drugstore beauty retailers as it is now. Physicians Formula introduces to us, "Argan Wear", a new range containing the four products you see above, all infused with argan oil.
Sale-acious Summer!
Calypso Relaunches Fragrance Collection
Happy birthday to me! I had the complete privilege to be able to preview the newly-relaunched Calypso St. Barth fragrance collection, which includes their signature scent "mimosa" and two brand new scents, "fig" and "casablanca". Each one floats on a breeze of effortless chic. "mimosa" smells effervescent, like the signature cocktail, it is lighthearted and whimsical. "Fig" is fresh with a subtle spice running underneath it, and "casablanca" smells like the sunset at an Italian villa full of free spirits.
