23

Yesterday was my 23rd birthday! I know I sound ridiculous but for some reason 23 sounds so much older than 22.

I woke up to a voicemail of my niece & nephew singing me "Happy Birthday" and spent the night with my girlfriends.
The greatest birthday present is knowing that my long distance boyfriend is moving in with me in 11 days! Eeekkk!

Cinnamon Rolls

{my mom's homemade cinnamon rolls}

When I was home in Florida over the holidays, the smell of fresh cinnamon rolls woke me up several mornings.

One (or two - don't judge me) of these with a cup of coffee is by far the best brunch I've ever had!

My mom used this recipe for these delicious homemade cinnamon rolls with maple frosting. 

She also made a batch with cream cheese frosting which was equally as yummy!

Red Carpet Style: Golden Globes 2013

The Golden Globes kicked off red carpet season Sunday night. The award show was filled with a lot a laughs (thanks to hosts Tina Fey & Amy Poehler), a few tears (Jodie Foster's speech), and amazing fashion! The biggest trends on the red carpet were shades of red, ivory, black, cut-outs, plunging necklines, and fishtail gowns. Check out a few of my Best Dressed below.

{Kenra Perfect Medium Spray 13}

Every time I have my curling iron in hand, this Kenra hairspray is not far out of reach. 

It keeps my curls intact without them being stiff and crunchy. This medium hold hairspray

 leaves my hair soft and touchable, with a lingering scent that is surprisingly pleasant. 

Must Have: Fur Vest

Whether it's real or faux, there's no denying how chic a fur vest is during the chilly winter months. 

A black or ivory fur is always a classic but now there are so many options to choose from, including grey & plum.

There's no need to spend a small fortune on this fashion trend, many faux fur options are under $100!

The key to styling your fur vest is to keep it simple, such as jeans, a tee, and booties. See the celeb inspiration below.
