Bohem Gems

I am beyond excited to introduce to you Bohem Gems – a jewelry business that one of my very best friends just started. You know I love the entrepreneurial spirit in women – and her pieces are beyond perfection! She text me back in April asking if I thought she could sell pieces. I said ABSOLUTELY! And for a price between $40 and $60 – they are completely affordable too. Emily is an extremely creative individual with an eye for great design. In fact, the reason I wanted to be her friend in college is the fact that when...

The Ultimate Timeless Gift

Outfits•Shopping

It’s the question that swirls around every man’s head, like a great unanswerable riddle. What’s the perfect gift for my beautiful lady? Flowers just won’t cut it. You’ve already used the framed photo idea – she loves a personal touch – and last year you took her away for the weekend; now that was great. But every year must be better than the last. And this time round, you want to give her something special, personal, something she’ll treasure forever. But it’s really not a difficult conundrum to crack. We’ve all heard the phrase‘diamonds are a girl’s best friend’....

Evening Wear

Here are the photos from my last shoot with Xquisite! I think it is my favorite just because I am in love with this dress and how he took the photos with an all white background. Since the dress was lace and had a hint of the 20s in the fringe at the bottom, I also tried to give my hair a retro feel with loose curls and by pinning it all to one side. Oh, and my favorite red lipstick! Hope you all had an amazing Memorial Day Weekend. Dress, Rachael & Chloe via Marshall’s (Similar) :: Necklace,...

Floral Blazer

This past weekend my older sister, her fiance and my parents were in town to take care of some wedding tasks. The wedding is taking place in downtown Minneapolis in October, so they get to travel here to get everything planned. I LOVE it because that means I don’t have to travel and I still get to see my family more this year. Win, win WIN! Anyway, to run errands such as choosing the groom’s tuxedo, taking a look at the chapel and wedding photo opportunities (and grabbing a mid afternoon beer), I thought it would be a great...
