Bits and Tips

A sweet lacy dress from BHLDN for an upcoming party. 

There are a handful of things that make me giddy—warm weather, chocolate chip cookies, a new bikini, antique scores, jewelry, date nights and (drum roll) The Oscars. A couple of years ago I hosted a mini Oscar party (seen here) and I'm secretly hoping to round up a group again this year. I'll admit, it's too fun to fill a coffee table full of movie-going favorites (Milk Duds, Licorice, Kit Kats and York Peppermint Patties) but I also plan on whipping up a good meal for my red carpet friends. With no set menu yet, I'll be resorting to my pinterest food board for inspiration. Until then, here are some bits and tips from the week. 
A gift from my valentine, Diptyque Baies candle. 
 A few favorite blushes from Sonia Kashuk. 
Testing out the sneaker trend only mine cost $35 at Target, find them here
 New favorite Essie essentials—apricot cutical oil and Come Here, a new Spring color.

So love that Sonia Kashuk blushes, too, and love that you tried on those sneakers. I keep looking at them but not sure when I'd realistically put them on.

love the new essie color. I saw those sneakers at Target, they look way better in your photograph. It makes me want to go back and try them, but I cannot get myself to love the trend.

thought about buying the target ones, they didn't feel too comfortable in store-->thoughts? maybe you just have to wear them in a little??
