    My Favorite Travel Makeup Cases

    Similar to my hunt for the best travel jewelry cases, I’ve also been searching for the best travel makeup cases over the past several months and have found it surprisingly difficult.  Maybe I’m turning into an old lady, but at this point, I care a lot less about whether the case is cute and a lot more about whether it successfully keeps everything organized and in one. dang. place.  I came across this makeup case a couple months ago and it has been a true game changer for long trips.  I was skeptical at first because it’s definitely on the…

    My New iPhone Case Obsession

    I recently found out about these amazing cross-body iPhone cases from Cara Van Brocklin’s instagram and immediately ordered this one from Amazon.  The accessory is part case, part cross-body bag and I can’t tell you what a game-changer it has been over the past three weeks since arriving at our door.  It’s a sleek, slim leather case that also has a snapback pocket for any cards you want to keep handy while on the move.  The best part?  The case has a detachable cross-body strap that allows you to keep your phone at-the-ready without always having to be in your hand.  When I’m…

    Charleston / New Orleans Bachelorette Planning

    I returned late last night from an amazing bachelorette weekend in Charleston and as the Maid of Honor, I was tasked with the planning/coordination of weekend festivities.  A couple weeks ago I serendipitously connected with Randi of Kay & Co. Weekends and can’t recommend them highly enough if you have an upcoming bachelorette party in Charleston or New Orleans.  Kay & Co is a boutique travel planning company that crafts thoughtful, creative getaways for bachelorette parties, bachelor parties, weddings & the occasional girls’ weekend, too.  While I already had the weekend planned out before I found them, I did use…

    My Secret Weapon When It Comes to Sunglasses

    I love a pair of designer sunglasses as much as the next girl, but sometimes I want a funky, trendy pair of sunglasses without having to take out a mortgage, you feel me?  I discovered BP sunglasses at Nordstrom about a year ago and have been hoarding them ever since.  For $14 (not a typo, that’s FOURTEEN DOLLARS) you will find the biggest, best assortment of adorable sunglasses on the planet.  I’m not kidding, I own at least seven pairs of these things and they’re absolutely fantastic—from classic aviators to chic cat-eyes.  They don’t feel or look cheap and the…

    Chef’s Table: Pastry

    The Netflix series Chef’s Table is easily one of my all-time favorites.  If you haven’t watched the series, you’re in for a binge-worthy delight.  The series takes you inside the minds of the world’s best chefs and culinary stars who are revolutionizing the way we eat.  The fourth season just came out and much to my sugar-addicted delight, the entire season is dedicated specifically to pastry chefs.  THE BEST.

    The Best Travel Bottles For Shampoo And Lotion

    Rich and I are headed to Paris on Thursday for work and I just ordered these squeezable travel bottles for shampoo, conditioner, lotion, face cleanser, you name it.  I love that they’re silicone so they’re easy to squeeze (no awkward ketchup bottle smacking situation like other travel-sized products) and they also have a convenient suction cup on the side which allows you to conveniently attach them to a mirror or shower wall.
