Happy Birthday Sophie Grace!

Wishing my pup a happy 2nd birthday! She is my favorite fluff ball.

Guilty Pleasure

I have an embarrassing confession....I still watch the Kardashians. Yes, yes criticize them as much as you want, but I still can't resist especially when it comes to Kourtney and her little boy Mason. Plus, I love Kourtney's style.  Her baby shower was just perfect-fun and girly without being too fruffy.

I love Mason's fashionable outfits. 

Kourtney looked gorgeous in a white lace dress and comfy gold sandals. 

Gorgeous girly dream cake.

Proud grandma! Love Kris's maxi dress. 

Bluemercury

Bluemercury had long been a Bethesda favorite of mine. It's a spa and make-up/hair product store that is filled with just about all of my favorite products. Lately, I've noticed they've opened up in Georgetown and most recently in Clarendon as well. Bluemercury is a fantastic one stop shop for spa treatments, hair products, body products, and make-up from brands like Bobbi Brown, Chanel, Trish McEvoy, Khiel's, Mario Badesco, etc. They sell all my favorite specliazed brands without being as large and overwhelming as Sephora, Ulta, or department stores. It's also a great place to receive specialized attention and advice from make-up artists. Here are some of my recent buys there:

Picked up more Moroccan oil. It really is the best moisturizing treatment for your hair and a small dot goes a long way.

Bobbi Brown eye cream, super hydrating and great for travel. 

Have yet to try this mascara but have heard that it's very gentle on the eye area. 

Champagne quartz eyeshadow. Love this shade, a neutral with a bit of sparkle. 

Bluemercury has a few other locations nationwide, have you shopped there?

Recently.......

I've finally recovered from getting out my wisdom teeth and have begun creating a schedule and getting my life together.

I was ecstatic to receive my Swell Caroline lobster earrings. I've been receving tons of compliments on them not to mention the gold and navy combination goes with just about everything.

I've done a little too much shopping at J.Crew-is it just me or is this one of their best seasons ever?!?

I drank my very first old fashioned at the Willard hotel in DC this past weekend. Ah, to finally be old enough to enjoy nice drinks at a real bar haha!

And finally, I was trampizing all over DC this weekend with a certain boy in my life that I may have been keeping a secret from you all for a while now. I don't want to give away too much quite yet except that I absolutely adore him and have never been happier. His name for this blog is the Metropolitan for reasons to be later explained! Stay tuned.

Ouch!

I've been up to nothing fun after getting my wisdom teeth out yesterday. Here I was thinking that my usually resilient self would be fine in a few hours. Nope, still in lots of pain. Here's what's helping me get through:

Fun ice packs. 

Pregnant in Heels on repeat. 

Online shopping. J.Crew. 

Chocolate almond milk pudding. Delish.

I'm Back!

It's been a whirlwind of a week! Final exams finished, I headed off to beach week with some friends, returned to school for a few days, and then went home for a wedding. Now, I'm home for Summer and couldn't be happier to relax, unpack, and have more blogging time! Can't wait to catch up on all of your posts.
