Happy February!! That's one month closer to Spring, right?

I love Monday's. It's like a clean slate and fresh start. Let's kick this week off with some color! Which one should you be rocking right now? Yellow!!! It's absolutely having a moment and get ready to start seeing it everywhere. I think it's a welcome pop of color in the dreary winter. Also, the perfect color to translate into Spring. This is the perfect start to your Spring shopping by going out and getting a something bright and yellow.

My favorite thing about this coat is that it is an "indoor coat" as it has no lining. Won't be wearing only this when it's freezing out. But I love that I can make it an all day outfit.

Not sure how to pair yellow? No worries. You can either wear it with blue like I did because they are on opposite sides of the color wheel. Or you can always rock it with grey and let the yellow do the talking.

This week is all about two's see why tomorrow. So tip number two is when you are buying denim, buy it more snug than you like because after about four wears they stretch out and molds to you.

I hope the day brings you lots of awesome, and if all else fails there's a glass of wine at the end of it, right?

Bruching

I don't know what the question is but the answer is Brunch. My most favorite meal. There are few things better than Sunday Brunch. After running and running (figuratively and literally) all week it is so nice to just relax and reconnect with friends and family over some white wine and delicious brunch food. Which is exactly why I wanted to share this super easy recipe with you....

Along with a couple other things, I made this crescent surrounded casserole type of dish. I don't know it's name because I kind of came up with the idea on my own (even though I'm sure there are similar recipes out there). Make this for your next Brunch, you won't regret it.

Use a springform pan and use one crescent roll for the bottom. Just press it down, use the second crescent to build up a dough wall. Add as many eggs as you'd like. I used about 6 in the first layer. Then, add whatever meats and cheeses you want. I used ham and salami and then topped that with provolone.

After that, add more egg. I topped this with a handful of some delicious spinach.

I didn't expect the dough to actually curl around this scrumptious dish but it did and was amazing. Give it about an hour or so to cook on 400 degrees.

I hope you all have a wonderful and relaxing Sunday!! xoxo

Underneath It All

With Valentines day coming up, what would be a better time to talk skivvies? This weekend I am going to be very busy with boudoir photos for this big day and I also have a major lingerie addiction. I have some very coveted pieces from Paris and Rome that if anything ever happened to them I'd just die. In honor of this upcoming holiday and love for lace, here are some awesome tips to keep your fabulous underthings..well..fabulous.

Always:

-Hand wash in cold water to prevent any fraying or harshness or use delicate cycle.
Air dry
Wash at least once a week and every other wear

Never:

If you happen to be washing silk never wring dry, instead roll it in a towel and press the water out.
Don't wear the same bra two days in a row, it actually needs time to regain it's shape.

Fast Tip: I tell all of my Brides this once they put their wedding dress on and you wouldn't believe the difference it makes. It was the best advice I've ever gotten at a high end lingerie boutique: Lean over and pull the girls in, at first they look a little high and crazy but once they settle it's perfection. Thank me later.

Looking for a Valentines Day treat for yourself?

After all you've still got time to decide what's going under that V-Day dress.

I've listed a few fab finds under $40:

This mesh bralette from Forever21 is to die for and only $20!
