Five Things

February 24th, 2012

{A too-cute-to-pass-up Hendrick’s bottle that I swiped from the mini bar}

I’m finally starting to feel normal after being gone for so long (even if I am still waking up an hour before sunrise). On Monday night, we were watching TV and I got up and started to make my way to bed. It was only then that I checked the time to see that it was only 7:30. This weekend should be fun and festive – I plan on getting any work done prior to Sunday afternoon so our annual Oscar party can begin right on time. In the meantime, here are five things making me happy.

{Sunday tradition: Mario Batali’s homemade crostini for an early supper}

{Make Up Forever’s #40 lipstick – best orange I’ve come across}

{A colorful chunky necklace I picked up at H&M}

{Pages of wedding hair and make-up inspiration}

Also, for those of you that are engaged, I highly recommend checking out The Cream Event, which brings together some of the best wedding vendors in the Southern California area (in fact, my wedding planners, DJ, and videographer will all be there). You can buy tickets here!

    I’ve never tried orange lipstick, and I’m not sure if I could pull it off. Maybe I’ll start with a coral.

    If only the Hendricks mini had a cute little mini cork stopper it would be perfect.

    I saw that bracelet at H&M for $12.95 and also had to have it! It looks so much more chic than the price tag and brand! Also, Hendrick’s Gin is always proudly on display in my bar. Beautiful typography and delicious taste. The blog even has some fun, quirky design suggestions!
