It’s July 4th and that means wearing the most patriotic outfit you can find today! I got this maxi with it’s stars and stripes in honor of the 4th! I was so excited when I saw it because of how american this outfit was for the 4th! I added a simple denim vest to give it a more ‘Merica feeling and paired it with simple sandals for the day! The sandals are perfect for the outdoors and are so comfortable to wear to work and later on a barbecue! I couldn’t help but add my favorite red lipstick by revlon…

Hey bloggers! Happy 4th of July! It’s sunny here, but today especially with the launch of my new GKeys, I’ll be busy working most this sunshine filled 4th! I can’t complain though, as some of you launching a new venture means endless hours, but that’s part of the fun of it, don’t you agree? I was so excited by the outpouring of support on the site yesterday! So many of you wrote in about which GKey was your favorite, which meant so much to me! And yes, I am working on new designs as we speak and yes I will…

Today I got to be a part of the launch of my all new jewelry line, GKeys! I admit I was really nervous, aren’t we all when we launch a new venture? We put so much time, work, and heart in something and you just pray people see the beauty in it as much as you do! I started off designing the keys by sketching them out. I had been thinking for about a year now ways for people to spread their message. I’ve learned my motto throughout the year that “Life is a journey and only you hold the…

So this past week I got to take a ‘day escape’ and that was to Disney World! I of course wore my Disney themed GKey and got to many compliments on it I lost count!! I went to the Magic Kingdom first, which is where I took the photo above! I was so excited to take a photo with all the balloons! I don’t know how they carry that many balloons around all day long though! I wore this short outfit as a theme for Mickey Mouse that ended up going with my Minnie ears from Belle Boutique. With my…

Today I’m featuring: The Earth Laughs in Flowers GKey. This GKey was designed because I absolutely love flowers and I wanted a unique design that incorporated that love. The blue color is one of my favorite and the pop of flowers on the key give is a fun feel. I came up with the name ‘The Earth Laughs in the Flowers’ because of how fun the color hues are on this key. It puts a smile on your face and automatically puts you in a good mood. This key also goes with almost all outfits for summer. The bright colors will…

I decided to start my weekend off on the bright side with this hot pink nail lacquer and tribal design. I was browsing through my pinterest nail board and decided to combine a combination of tribal designs and summer fun polka dots.I have to say the hot pink color is my favorite for summer! It’s by Aurora and has a gel effect that makes the color brighter and the polish last longer. I’ve had this design on my nails for almost a week and it’s been chip free which of course we all love to know!I would definitely recommend checking…

It’s officially less than a week until summer ‘officially’ starts but I couldn’t help but jumpstart my outfit. I just got this oversized floral print dress and decided to pair it with a white blazer so I could wear it to work. I have to say my favorite part of this dress has to be the bold blue color contrast! It goes perfect with sandals (which I wear to work) or I pair it with wedges for a night out. I love this dress because of how it fits and how it’s the perfect length to pair with a ‘boyfriend’…

I love summer days spent outdoors, especially outside in my garden. I based it around the ‘fairy’ theme with fairy accents and a pathway. I love flowers and I love spring and summer because I think you can never have too many flowers growing! The tricky part is to keep them as fresh as you see them in photos! but today I just spent the day strolling in the garden with my new sundress that is so comfortable I want to wear it everyday! It has pockets too, which I love and the mix of colors are perfect for springtime!…

I have to say I love the country lifestyle but I can’t help but love the cityscapes of the city. I absolutely love the tall buildings and the background of the water. It was beautiful and the sunshine was perfect for my day spent downtown. I wore my favorite sundress accented with the front ruffle from Original Piece Boutique and paired it with my lightweight sweater that was nautical inspired to go with the nautical downtown vibes. I paired it with my favorite Aldo sandals that I literally have worn so much they have holes in them. I got them…

It’s Spring and that means it’s time to start your spring nail designs!I just did this ‘Spring Fling’ nail design last night and I love how the flowers look! It was actually a really simple design! All you need if a toothpick or a nail pen to create the ‘dotted’ look. I picked fun bright spring colors to do three different flowers but you can do as many or as little as one color for the nails design!For my Topcoat I did my favorite ‘Northern Lights’ that added an extra shimmer to the look! I love the topcoat because it…

Okay so I’ve been busy looking at all the different spring styles and I found this floral romper online from Original Piece Boutique (www.ShopOriginalPiece.com)! The gorgeous print is my favorite and the mix of blue and hot pink hues makes this romper a definite favorite! Plus, it’s an open back which I could either pair a banodo with or add a denim jacket! Add your favorite wedges or flats and this romper does the talking! I could even add my denim jacket or white blazer to give this romper a whole other look! So what do you guys think? Should…

Just a Monogram Girl living in her world. That’s right I admit I’m a huge fan of the monogrammed trend. I don’t monogram everything, but I do like a simple monogram accent occasionally when I’m going for the preppy trend. I absolutely can’t get enough of this Jane Basch monogramed necklace! It’s my favorite and the only monogram necklace I wear. I love it in the gold because it always dresses up even the most casual of my outfits. I usually wear it out when I go out with friends or for an occasion! I’m definitely wanting to add to…
