Blog Posts Lauren shares a delicious recipe that is also very photogenic for the upcoming holidays! Who doesn’t want candy cane marshmallows?!

Christmas Manicure

Beauty

When it comes to manicures, I try to keep it simple and I love the idea of having one nail a different color or shade on each hand, so for the holidays I went for a rich burgundy shimmer color along with a gold glitter color on my pointer fingers.  What do you think? Will you be adding some glam to your nails for the holidays? L.A.

Christmas Wish List

Holidays•Shopping

I sometimes feel selfish making a wish list for Christmas, but at the same time everyone asks you what you want! Also, with my birthday in January, I don’t feel so bad making a longer list because then it can apply to my birthday as well, right?  Not to mention it is always fun to dream!  What’s on your Christmas list this year? 1. Emerald Green Triangle Shaped Earrings  2. Brittany Fuson 2013 Planner 3. ALDO Bright Blue Booties 4. Michael Kors Crystal Watch 5.

Christmas Decor

Uncategorized

So I know it may be a little late to be posting about Christmas decorations (should have been doing this on December 1st, right?!), but honestly I finally just got around to taking pictures of everything this weekend… thanks to my parents and my boyfriend’s parents requesting that we do so.  Anyway, here is how I decorated the apartment! I was so, so, SO excited about the fireplace… this is the first time I have ever had one to decorate with stockings!

Tinsel Tuesday

Outfits

You might be wondering what Tinsel Tuesday is?  Well I wanted to go off of my last “What I’m Wearing” post on a casual Friday just to keep you updated on my wardrobe during the week since I don’t have a chance to take and post pictures every single day.  Anyway, I am calling it Tinsel Tuseday because my blouse with the stripes of metallic almost remind of tinsel and just because I am getting so excited for upcoming family, friend and work Christmas parties! Tomorrow we are having a marketing group Christmas potluck and Thursday is our company’s Christmas party...

Take a Bow

Outfits

  There is a lot of inspiration out there right now for holiday party and event outfits, and I have gotten a lot of great ideas from other bloggers and some of my favorite fashion magazines.  Typically holiday party and event wear includes dresses, skirts and sequins, all of which I love and have made certain will work into later party outfits, but for my first holiday event, I wanted to instead go for a pants look:  a gold-stiched blouse with a big black bow on the front paired with black denim, black heeled boots and some sparkly accessories...

  • #ad Sharing a new blog on how to get this twisted braid, beachy wave hairstyle! Thanks to @natureboxbeauty, I know my hair will be frizz-free all summer long using their 100% Cold Pressed Macadamia Oil Shampoo & Conditioner. What’s cold pressing exactly? 🤔 Cold pressing oils is the process of using extra pressure without excessive heat to extract the natural oils from fruits and nuts without chemicals or hot processing. Nature Box™ has a variety of shampoo and conditioner sets that include cold pressed oil from coconuts, avocados, apricots, almonds, and macadamia nuts. The set I got is exclusive to @cvspharmacy! You can get the full hair tutorial on Rachel’s Lookbook at www.rachelslookbook.com! The link is also in my profile! #ShopNatureBox #beauty #hairstyles #linkinprofile #summerhair
