Valley Girl


Happy Friday! I came across this today and my heart just melted! It is a clip from my fave movie Valley Girl, and my fave song of all times Melt With You by Modern English. I can't even count how many times I watched this on VHS (yes, that's right VHS) in high school. This brings back so many memories! Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. If you haven't seen the movie I highly suggest you plan a night with the girls and watch it. Don't forget the wine and snacks!

DIY Sugar Scrub



A few weeks ago I went on a mission to find an easy DIY sugar scrub. Well, I think I found a good one! I made this one for K8 at the office and she loved it. I gathered all of my ingredients and headed outside. I wanted to enjoy the glorious weather while I still could (plus this can get a bit messy). I also packed the scrub in a cute little mason jar. I am such a big fan of these jars and give them as gifts when possible. Just mix 1 part sugar (or salt) to 1/2 part olive oil. Add a few drops of smelly oil and soap dye and your done. You will have to stir up the mixture before each use as the oil will rise to the top of the jar. It is perfect for hands and feet. Warning: If you use this scrub on your tootsies, please make sure that you rise the tub really well. It is super slippery! I keep some at my kitchen sink. Love it!

My Second Home

Lady Gaga building board- amazing!


Empire State Building


Breathtaking!


Central Park


Being in the city during NYFW can be a bit overwhelming. Your schedule can fill up quite quickly with shows, parties and dinners with industry friends. While living in the Midwest, I am lucky enough to call NYC my second home this year. This was my third trip to this energy filled concrete jungle and I didn't miss a beat. Sure I got my fill of fashion shots to bring home and share but I also made a point to capture just how beautiful this city really is behind all of the hustle and bustle of daily life. These are just a few of my fave pics.

IFB Conference 2011


Watch live streaming video from ifbconference at livestream.com

Gregorys Coffee



So I officially made it to NYC! My stomach is filled with butterflies for the IFB Conference. Still not sure what I am going to wear but I packed just about everything in my closet so there are options. This whole rainy weather thing is throwing my wardrobe planning way off. I'm spending the morning working at a coffee shop across the street from The Algonquin (one of my fave hotels). Cheddar and dill scone- yummy!

Pop Burger NYC







Found this little gem right across the street from FAO Schwartz. After hours of shopping I was so glad to see food of any kind. Lucky for me this place had yummy mini burgers (2 packed in a cute little box) and amazing fries. I swear they were the best that I had ever eaten- perfectly crunchy! Wish they would bring Pop Burger to the STL...
