Happy Cinco de Mayo fashionistas! I can just imagine the party and celebration happening in Mexico right now, and although I’m not necessarily downing a Margarita today to commemorate the holiday, I certainly felt it was suiting to dress for the occasion!
Naturally, any party isn’t a party without a little color. I spotted this skirt at Target on clearance and fell in love! Who doesn’t love a fun colorful print for spring…matches the yellow flowers in my front yard…totally not planned on purpose but definitely a bonus π

Coachella Inspired…
I may not be in Palm Springs for Coachella, but that doesn’t mean I can’t dress like I’m there π This look was festival inspired and even had my lovely puppy Charlie join in on the ‘boho chic‘ fun!
This dress was scored on clearance 2 years ago and I loved it so much I bought it in every color it came in. It’s effortlessly chic and is comfy, stylish and the perfect go to dress for a warm spring or summer day…or in this case, it’s the perfect ‘go to’ dress to run around the dessert and listen to awesome music and spot celebrities at Coachella π (Why did I come back from Cali early?!)
LA Adventures Part I!
Hello from LA! Never did I think I’d get to say this, but I am writing this post from sunny California while staring out at the most amazing view I’ve ever seen. If you’ve been following my instagram you will see that this trip has truly been amazing thanks to my gracious host Kristi! She has kept me hustlin and bustlin all over LA with fun parties and events and I must say I’m lovin’ it!
I got to get a hair do inspired by the new Wendys ‘Salad Collection‘ (what is cooler than a hairstyle inspired by an Asian Cashew Chicken Salad?!). I had the pleasure of meeting Gilbert Chagoury, the fabulous designer of Chagoury Couture at their LA boutique. I attended a fabulous ‘Fashion For Breakfast’ brunch at Cecconi’s in West Hollywood, which happened to be across the street from SUR…making my morning complete!
SuperBowl Sunday BBM Style!
Happy SuperBowl Sunday everyone! Now while I am not the biggest sports fan except for the occasional Knicks game I end up watching because of my boyfriend, the SuperBowl is something I think every American watches because come on…do you want to be the only person at work the next day not knowing what funny commercials aired, what wardrobe malfunction happened during half time or how the lights went out in the entire stadium? I didn’t think so…So I will be tuning in for the sole reason of not being asked if I am living under a rock π
As we all know the essential part of any SuperBowl watching experience is amazing snacks, duhh! So what better way to root for your favorite team than with limited edition ‘Denver‘ vs. ‘Seattle‘ minis from Baked By Melissa aka BBM (move over Blackberry, BBM is all about cupcakes for now π )! I love these bite sized sweet treats!
What do I love most about these little babies? I pay my photographer aka my little sister with them! She doesn’t request cash, she requests I pick her up Baked By Melissa once a week…now that’s what I call a sweet deal!
If only this Melissa (me lol) could bake…I’d be one lucky lady π
