A Kale Color Combo

The weather has been so beautiful for February in my neck of the woods. It's got me thinking Spring and toes! I'm all about a good color combination and adding a great pair of Kale colored shoes is a great way to start wearing some spring and adding a little pop of color to this kind of outfit! This is a super chic bunch of colors to keep in the back of your mind when you need a good look quick!

Thank you JustFab for these awesome shoes!

Hotel Heaven

I've stayed in hotels all over the world, who would have thought our best experience was in our own back yard. The Kimpton Hotel Monaco Pittsburgh was absolutely amazing! I was completely blown away by the décor and hospitality. Not only did they roll out the red carpet for us but also for our dog Perla Blue. 

After I was able to stop looking at the beautiful floral chandelier I could then focus on the other décor. I should have known by the incredible hallway that I was about to walk into something amazing. Never, ever, have I been so impressed with how a hotel looked. It was bold perfection to say the least. The beauty of this place is inspired by Pittsburgh which made my heart swell with pride to be part of such an eclectic city. So yes I'm biased with the room because I love green so this headboard was basically made for me. But this very gorgeous bed and uniquely complimentary birdcage light was the right amount of quirky chic. Perla approved. The details were all so amazing! Everything about this hotel was my style.

Have you ever stayed at a boutique hotel? You should. Even though the Kimpton is a chain, it truly feels like you are staying somewhere where everyone knows you and is happy to see you. It was so great to have Perla with us and believe me when I say everyone had a treat ready for her while we were out and about. AND there were treats with a sweet note for her waiting in our room upon arrival. Talk about going the extra mile. While we are talking about going the extra mile there was a wine hour! I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. Free wine for an hour where Perla was invited. We chatted with so many people and met lots of pretty dogs. 

What's behind me you ask? That is where the wine lives...

We had plans of getting wine and pizza in the room and we were not disappointed! Heart shaped pizza, with wings and wine, it truly was the perfect date night!  

I have always felt to give credit where credit is due and The Kimpton deserves all of the credit! Trust me friends, if you are planning a stay in The City of Bridges, you need to stay here!  

Happy Thursday!

Make It Sparkle

Normally I'm not a "TGIF" kind of person but TGIF!!!

To say the least this week has been totally ridiculous! With a boudoir shoot just about everyday and dance photos every night I don't even know where I am right now! It would be an understatement to say that I need a drink!   

I love a fun and glam DIY. I love being able to look at something and say I did that, I made it something pretty. Having worked in jewelry I appreciate the high end pieces but sometimes costume jewelry is so much fun. While strolling through Hobby Lobby I saw this cuff and immediately thought how fun it would be to make it sparkle. I chose colors that will go with everything. Here is all you need to customize your arm candy:

-Cuff

-Chosen bling

-Glue E6000 (it's important you use this one) 

-Now on to the cocktail! Notice a deep purple trend?

Now on to this delicious drink! 

Add vodka, Triple Sec, juice, lime and shake!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine's Day weekend!
