Cupcake Break

Yesterday I had a major cupcake craving. 

So much that I made Tad stop at Dots on the way home. I wanted to eat a cupcake so bad that the mini ones just wouldn't cut it. Tad asked if I wanted to share one. Ha! I got my own :) 

I didn't care that we were eating dinner in 2 hours. 

Sometimes you just gotta give in to your cravings, right? 

Have a happy Wednesday! xoxo, Tammy

Splashes of Color

I love color. It seems that when my clothes are a neutral shade, I end up throwing in a bright splash of fun color (usually with my shoes). I just can't help myself. Color makes me happy!

Fun in the Sun in Maui

Hi, I'm back from Maui! Tad and I had the best time, doing everything from surfing, snorkeling, hiking, horse backriding, and lots of eating, to doing nothing but laying on the sand at the beach. We were big time tourists, checking everything off our list- and I'm not ashamed to admit it! 

As much as I love dressing up, it was nice not think about what to wear or how to do my hair. It was also refreshing to put nothing on my face (no make-up at all) except for a thick layer of sunblock. Most days consisted of a bathing suit, a shirt, a pair of shorts, flip-flops, and a ponytail. Ahhhh, the life! Being the water baby that I am, I think I could have stayed in Maui forever!

Here are a few snapshots of the awesome time we had. If you haven't visited Hawaii yet, I highly recommend it- it really is paradise!  

Tad and I are spending the rest of the week doing some housework and running errands before its back to the grind. I want another vacation already!

Summer in January?

Wow, this week has felt more like summer than winter! Today was super warm and sunny, even for Southern California standards. Tad and I are on vacation so we've spent the past couple of days visiting some Los Angeles sites that we haven't had a chance to see yet. Today we had fun walking around the LA Arboretum- there were lots of pretty plants and birds- even peacocks!

Tad and I are looking forward to more great weather as we vacation in Maui this week! See you when we get back- have a great first week of 2012!!

XOXO, Tammy

Winter Styling

Although summer is my favorite season, I think winter is my favorite for dressing. I just love accessorizing with colored tights, scarves, and I especially have a thing for cute coats. My daily winter outfits usually include a dress, fun tights, and a light coat. So it's no wonder why I've been wearing this heart dress so much this season.

The color reminds me of pumpkin (which in turn reminds me of the holidays), I get to wear fun colored tights with it (it also looks awesome with yellow, brown, and even red tights!), and it even looks great with a coat on top. Plus, who doesn't love an over-sized heart? :)

I picked up this jacket at Anthropologie. It was already on sale plus an extra 50% off. Score. 

With it's shorter sleeves, it's perfect for a Southern California winter. I debated returning it because I though the fur overwhelmed me a bit, but I love the spots and it kinda reminds me of something my grandmother would have worn back in the day. Plus, Tad really liked it. So back into my closet it went!

What's your favorite "dressing" season?

New Year, New Hair

Happy New Year! Tad and I celebrated New Year's Eve in Hollywood with friends and it was the first night I showed off my new hair- I got a perm! My hair is normally slightly wavy but I wanted to enhance the curls a bit and I love the end result. I'm brand new to styling curly hair though and would love any tips that you gals might have!

Did you have an awesome New Years? Tad and I got up super early New Year's Day (which was not easy because we ended up staying out a little too late, and drinking a little too much) and drove up to Big Bear Mountain. We spent the day snowboarding with our friends, Sharon and Ernest and had a blast. The sun was shining, the snow was beautiful, and the day was super fun- what an awesome way to start the new year!

I hope you had a great beginning to the New Year. I think 2012 is going to be a great one!!
