How About Those SAG's?


Did you happen to catch the SAG awards last night?  I love the show.  Every year it's fun to watch and I like to see them giving awards to their peers.  Of course there was some fabulous fashion and my favorite was probably Kristen Wiig of Bridesmaids.  I had no idea she was so pretty!  If you watched, who were your favorites?

Desert Retro Fashion


I'm heading to Palm Springs soon and can't wait.  It will be so nice to get some fresh desert air.  I came across these gorgeous photos from Harper's Bazaar this month and got inspired to put some amazing outfits together.  What do you think?

Relax...Just Do It


I hope all of you are having a fabulous weekend.  I have been running around doing errands, meeting with friends, and finally have a chance to catch up on emails.  After reading some of your tweets, I realized not many of us have time to just relax.  So I'm curious, how do you unwind?  I read a book or take a nap, but a nice glass of wine will do just fine.  What about you?  I hope you have a chance to relax this lovely weekend!

Hello there!  Since we are coming to the end of January, I wanted to make sure you met my sponsors for the month.  They are amazing girls and you must check them out!  I have a few spots left if you want to sponsor the blog for February.  Just let me know.  Click here to get information! 


First, you have to head over and check out Susanna's fabulous shop!  I am simply in love with everything in there, especially the harmonica necklaces.  She keeps her Etsy shop updated and also has a twitter account you can interact with her at.  Make sure you tell her I said hello and let me know what you get from her fabulous store, Red Truck Designs!



Next, we have Heather of This and That.  She also has an Etsy shop where she designs gorgeous cards for all occasions.  Heather is one of my friends, who I adore, and can't wait to see her at the So. Cal Blogger Event.  Go show her some love and make a new friend!



Veronika of Veronika's Kandy Koated Dreams is one of the sweetest girls I have ever met.  She has a heart of gold and her blog is so much fun and fresh.  She's even having a fabulous Valentine giveaway that you can go enter here.  Please add her fabulous blog and follow her on Twitter too!



Have you met Erica at The Pretty Factor?  If you haven't, what are you waiting for?  Erica has a great love of fashion and beauty and often participates in my Fashion Friday link ups.  She just made it to 100 followers and it would be amazing if you could make it one more!  Drop by and show her some love, you won't be sorry!



And, last but definitely not least, Melonie Campbell of At Home America was a January sponsor of my blog.  Melonie is such a sweetheart and you must check out her page for amazing deals on candles, tabletop dining accessories, outdoor living items, etc.  What a great place to search for that perfect gift!  



Thank you to all my January sponsors.  I hope you can visit their sites/blogs and help support them.  If you are interested in sponsoring my blog for February, please email me or see Sponsor post for details!
