Hello!  Hello!  I'm back from my trip to LA... which if you follow me on Snapchat, you've already seen a great deal of it--I'm acoest1984--and if not, I did post everyday on Insta too so you can check that out in the meantime, if you'd like.

That said, I've missed you!  I took a little break from the blog while there, not because I had planned to, I brought my laptop with me, but mainly because it ended up being a fun, busy five days away.  Now I'm back, celebrating my birthday today and will have a full recap of the trip up this week.

I wanted to hop on here and just say hello and see how your week is going?  We are having a crazy, rainy day here today, pretty dreary--unlike the photo above, but I guess Spring is on the way so I can't complain.  I can't wait to share more about my trip & if you have any suggestions for posts or videos you'd like to see, let me know in the comments.  

Hope you're having a great week!


 
Hi ladies, I'm sharing a secret:  I've been cutting my own hair for about a year, and today I'm showing you how to do it.
 
Grab some shears (I use these ones), a comb, a brush & press play.
 
Thanks for watching! xo

My weekend started early, on Thursday evening, I was out at Place d'Orleans pulling all the outfits for a fashion show I had styled and was hosting on Friday.  It has been a ton of work since really diving in back in January so it was exciting the time had finally come for it to all come together...

It's that time again, the Shopbop Spring Sale is on and depending on how much you spend, you can save up to 25% off (use code: BIGEVENT16).  This is such a great time to grab those designer (whether lower or higher end) pieces you might have had your eye on, or even items that run a little pricier than you'd normally buy.
 
I'm still loving neutrals for Spring but love the pretty pop of pink on that saddle bag.  I also recently paired a baby blue sweater I have with some light grey skinnies and loved the look, so I can see a lot of that combination in my future--and that pretty off-the-shoulder top is perfect for Summer with denim.
 
Last year was the first year I bought a couple of one-piece swimsuits and this year I plan to rock something a little more risqué because, #whynot
 
Lastly, the faux fur poms are so cute and I've been seeing them everywhere lately!  Definitely an accessory I want to add to my bag to instantly update it.  Happy shopping!
