Five Things I’m Loving Right Now

Happy Hump Day all!

1. Scandal:

It’s really “scandalous”  how this show has taken over my life! I’m completely obsessed with this series and its complex characters. Besides Kerry Washington and Tony Goldwyn’s incredible chemistry (which makes their relationship totally believable), the plot twists and turns will keep you glued to your seat.  If you’re looking a Summer series, check out Season One & Two out on Netflix. Trust me you’ll become addicted too!

2. Bolthouse Farms:

I’ve never considered myself a “health” food person but lately these juices have been dominating my fridge!  Some of the 100% juices I’ve tried in the past were  a little grainy but these are smooth and delicious.  Drinking these are  an easy way for me  to add more fruits & veggies to my diet.   I highly recommend the Amazing Mango and Carrot + Ginger…YUM!

3. Star Trek: Into Darkness:

I am a HUGE fan of sci-fi movies especially well made, visually stunning ones.   I’m so geeked to see the sequel to 2009’s “Star Trek” which completely rebooted the franchise.  I’ve been a big  fan of JJ Abrams ever since “Alias” and his movies do not disappoint.   The nerdy girl in me is literally squealing with delight!

4. Seychelles “Turning Point”:

After searching the Internet for a  pair of yellow heels, I was so happy to find these Seychelles pumps.  At 2.5 inches these are perfect for my feet. I’ve been having so much fun pairing these with different outfits.

5. Depeche Mode “Enjoy The Silence”

I know I’m completely dating myself here but I LOVE this song.  I’ve had it on repeat on my iPhone for the past couple of days.  Back in the day I thought the song was stupid (I was a teenager at the time!) but now I can’t get enough of it!

Have a wonderful day!

Jewel of the Nile

Happy Hump Day all!

As you know, I love color blocking.  During the Summer it was easy to do but now that Fall is upon us, I was  facing a small dilemma…how do I color block in the Fall?    When I think  of Fall, I think of earthy colors  like browns and oranges.  Not wanting to slip back into the habit of wearing dark colors all the time, I had to find a solution.    While flipping through my latest issue of People Style Watch,  I solved my dilemma. The emergence of  jewel tones have come to my rescue!   After fishing through my closet, I came up with this color combo.    Now I can continue to color block all season long!

What jewel tones do you want to try?

Have a wonderful evening!
