A Bow-tiful Life

Bonjour, loves! How are you all today?

I'm in quite the romantic mood as of late. Now that we're in the thick of winter my mind starts to wander off to pretty things and what's next to look forward to. Where does that leave me? Bows, bows and more bows! They're so pretty and everything looks better with a bow on top, right?

Maybe it's because I'm starting to think of Valentine's Day. Pretty packages all tied together in bows. Coquettish lingerie. Chloé fragrance, anyone? I'm getting excited just thinking about it. Hope J pulls out all of the stops this year :)

Hope you all have a lovely day!

Delightful Delicacies

Good morning, lovelies! Hope your week got off to a wonderful start. I'm just loving all of these pretty little delicacies. The daintiness of the lace, the paper like, almost see though quality of the flowers and of course the delicate, delicious French confectionery, the macaron. Makes me want to lounge about all day surrounded by these sweet nothings.

Have a lovely day! xoxo

Blushing Beauty

Good morning, lovelies! How's your week going so far?

The romantic in me is rearing it's dreamy head again. It could have something to do with Valentine's Day being right around the corner. Whatever it is I find myself being drawn to soft, barely there shades of pink this year rather than the more traditional red . Don't get me wrong, I have been sporting red nails for the past few weeks and I'm sure I will continue to do so for a little while longer. But there's just something so soft, feminine and plain gorgeous about blush that I can't help myself.

Hope you all have a fabulous Tuesday! xoxo

Sensual Start

Good Monday morning, lovelies! How was your weekend? Mine was wonderful. Lots of lounging around and I also got to watch a bunch of movies. I'm on the quest to see all of the best picture nominees before the Oscars.

Despite the lazy weekend I still find myself wishing for another day off. I think it has something to do with this time of year. No matter how much rest I get I still yearn for more.

So I'll take it slow this morning. Lots of prettiness and pampering before I head out to face the week.

Hope you all have a lovely day! xoxo

Feminine Frills

Satin, feathers, ruffles....All so coquettish and oh so sensual. Just a few of the things that make being a female so fabulous. Don't you think?

Have a wonderful day, darlings! xoxo

Pure Romance

Happy Tuesday, lovelies! Hope you are having a wonderful week so far. Today I'm feeling kind of romantic. Dreaming of being draped in elegance from head to toe. Lightweight sheer breezy fabrics, lace, feathers and fur in soft whispering pastels. Makes me want to float away into dreamland.

Have a lovely day and don't forget, you can still enter the MD Perricone Cold Plasma Face Cream giveaway. You have until 12 midnight PST tonight to enter. Don't miss out on your chance to win!

Tie One On

I love it when a woman can effortlessly mix feminine and masculine elements. Women in ties = a big yes in my opinion. Jen over at Slumber Designs recently pondered the idea herself. I agree that it's a look that very few can pull off but when it's done right, it's spectacular!

For those who aren't ready to go full on tie I think this is an easier way of achieving the look. What do you guys think?
