Blue & White Living Rooms



I love blue and white together.  Whether it's clothes or home accessories, you can't go wrong with blue and white.  Blue and white is such an elegant and timeless color combination.  I found this fabulous blue and white living room on Pinterest and knew I had to share it.  Don't you just love the white pillow with navy monogramming?  Fab!

Check out my Blue & White Pinterest Board for more of my favorite ways to style this color combo!

My Straight Hair Routine



I have finally gotten into a good routine when it comes to wearing my hair straight.  Naturally my hair is extremely wavy... borderline curly, so it's much easier to wear my hair curly (the way it naturally wants to be). Well, the grass is always greener... I love wearing my hair straight.  So here is what I do.

1.  After my morning shower I put my hair up in a Turbie Twist.  I swear by these things.  I love how my hair stays neatly in the towel while I make my bed, read morning e-mails, drink coffee and pick out my outfit of the day.  The Turbie Twist makes my life so much easier!

2.  Once I am ready to blow out my hair I brush it to get all the tangles out.  Then I put a squeeze of Rusk STR8 Anti Frizz, Anti Curl Lotion in my hair and brush it through once more.

3.  I take a clip and separate my hair into sections to blow dry it.  As I blow dry each section, I brush through it to keep it straight.  I repeat this process with each section of hair until my hair is about 95% dry.

4.  Once my hair is almost dry I flip my head over to finish blow drying it.  This helps ensure that my hair is not too flat on top (I despise hair that is flat to my head).

5.  After my hair is completely dry, I brush through it one last time before straightening it.  At this point my hair is about 80% straight, so I do not have to do much straightening which makes this step pretty quick.

I hope all of that made sense.  

Do you straighten your hair each morning?

The Newsroom on HBO


My favorite HBO show The Newsroom is back for it's second season tonight!  I love how this show brings real life events to a scripted show centered around a fictional cable news station's (ACN) newsroom.  The show centers around anchor Will McAvoy played by Jeff Daniels and his news team.

Cast in Vanity Fair

Do you watch The Newsroom?

Wedding Season

Don't you just love wedding season!  Getting pretty invitations in the mail and then getting to pick out a pretty dress to wear to watch friends or family start a new life.  It's so much fun!  However, it can often be difficult to know what to wear based on the time of day and location of the event.  Whether the wedding is at a country club, on the beach or at 7pm determines what each guest is expected to wear.  I have put together a few outfit inspirations to help you out no matter what kind of wedding you may be attending this summer.

Summer Pillows from One Kings Lane


{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

One Kings Lane is a great destination for great deals on home accessories and furniture.  I love stopping by their site every few days to see what kinds of items they have on sale.  Recently, I have been loving their pillow sales.  Their Under the Boardwalk sale features all kinds of bright, nautical and summery pillows that are the perfect way to add some spunk and liven-up a tired room.  Pillows are a great way to add in a trendy or seasonal fabric without spending a fortune and being stuck with it year round.

Which summer pillow is your favorite?
