Picture Perfect

This past week has been pretty fantastic as I look back at it via my Instagram photos. Here's some of my happiness...

Today I need a post with happy pictures because this week is already off to a rough start. My work office moved and while I love the location (we're now on Hollywood Blvd.) I hate my seat. I've been at my company for three years and longer than anyone else in my department, yet
I now have THE WORST seat in the office.I should have a window seat but I don't. And what's worse? EVERYONE can see my screen. That means it's gonna be a whole lot harder to blog at work :(

From Beautiful Ben to Beegee Brother

I love me some Ben Affleck. I even like him with Jen and think the girls are super cute. Anyone else hoping baby #3 is a boy? Anyways...look at this face - that's one attractive man.


The above picture is how I'm sure we'd all like to think of our main man. Not so much as of late. Despite my love for Ben, I gotta say that I cannot get on board with his new 'do. I get that it's for a movie. It's just hair and it'll (hopefully) be tamer soon enough. But in the meantime, it's killin' his looks. Am I right?

Let's look at the current state of Mr. Affleck, taking an evolutionary journey of hair over the past few months:


OK it's gray. Bound to happen. Maybe he'll turn into a stone fox?


Wait, what?! Your name is B-E-N, not Justin.


You're married to Jennifer, not her gay stylist!


This is full-blown Beegee hair.


That nasty excuse for hair has bred and is not taking over his face as well.


I miss hot Ben. The one that captivated the world with his handsome boyish Boston looks! He turns 40 this year, that's not that old. 

On a side note, tomorrow i am exchanging blogs with Lindsay from Last Year of Twenty Something...! Be sure to stop by and check out her post and visit her blog to see mine.

Time to Make a Decision

Pun intended ;)

Last week I got a lot of positive feedback on my watch post. You all loved the watch/chunky bracelet look and encouraged me to replicate it. Now I need your help - I have narrowed it down to two Michael Kors watches and I want to know which one I should select.

The styles are the same, except one is tortoise and the other silver. I think I like the tortoise better, BUT the silver is more timeless.








Please let me know which one you like better! It'll help me make my decision.

Who isn't obsessed with Pinterest? I think we can all admit that we've spent countless hours pinning recipes, home decor, and fashion finds. I have made crafts and meals thanks to some of my pins, but I have yet to replicate an outfit I've found. Have you recreate any Pinterest looks?

Watch It

I love the trend of a bulky wrist. Putting on a watch and piling up bracelets around it. It's busy, but it works. A bunch of my Instragram friends have been rockin' this trend and documenting it via the photo sharing site and it makes me want to give it a go. For some reason once I stack up the arm candy on my wrist I feel awkward. Like it's too much. Maybe I just need to get used to it. Here is some inspiration to help me get my fashion courage...











Are you into this trend?
