Apartment Therapy: LA Version

This 990 square foot apartment in Los Angeles has every element of color, texture, and a balance of warm and cold that I hope to have in my own home some day. The challenge in this two bedroom home was exactly that....it's 2 bedrooms!! The couple that renovated this home knew they had a small space and had to make it look bigger than what it was. Therefore, I admire their efforts to conquer this challenge! Take a look and you'll see what I mean.

Nordstrom Must Have's: Basics

Lately, I've been in a funk with my closet. I have all these great pieces but nothing basic to wear them with. Therefore, I've concluded that I really need to update my basics staples for spring. So, for those who are in the same boat as I am, here's a few basics that every girl could use that are all available at Nordstrom.

Put a Fork In It, I'm an ASU Graduate!

Sorry for my absence lately but I was in the middle of entertaining out-of-town guests, throwing a party, celebrating my Mom's birthday, and graduating from ASU! It was a super exciting weekend for me but it was exhausting! Now that the week has begun, I thought I'd share some photos from my graduation. As I mentioned, this weekend was amazing but graduating from college was the highlight for me because it was so rewarding to see my hard work and dedication finally pay off after 4 years at ASU.

Who What Wear: Neon & Nudes

I love receiving emails from Who What Wear every morning! It's an easy way to gain insight on the latest trends. Therefore, several days ago I received an email from WWW and absolutely loved the trend they were focusing on and thought I'd share it on my blog. According to WWW, it's all about the neon and nudes for summer. I look forward to seeing this trend and definitely will incorporate it into my wardrobe!

The Beauty Department

Lauren Conrad recently launched a website that contains 'daily doses of pretty'. Meaning, it's a website all about beauty! As I've mentioned numerous times, I am completely in love with Lauren Conrad! I love her style and her grace! So, watching these beauty tutorials about how she makes those gorgeous waves in her hair or her ballerina bun is super exciting for me! I plan on trying the ballerina bun on my hair very soon!
