I was very excited to see the other day that this accessories photo made it to StyleCaster‘s feature about the most popular blogger arm candy for spring!
Being the accessories-obsessed person that I am, it’s an honor to be featured alongside some of my favorite bloggers like Sincerely, Jules and Atlantic-Pacific.
Friday night I attended the Crash The Gala After Party, hosted by Ikram Goldman, which celebrated the Roy Lichtenstein exhibition at the Art Institute.
From the food and decor to the music and company, I couldn’t have asked for a better night! Ikram had a make-your-own sundae bar (2 to be exact), hot dog stands, popcorn machines, pizza pass-arounds, and so much more. She even took on the roll of MC for the night (which was beyond amazing by the way). Take a look at some of my photos from the party…

To all those who are moms, moms-to-be or just have really awesome moms…Happy Mother’s Day! I happen to be in the “those with awesome moms” category so I just wanted to take this opportunity to dedicate a blog post to my # 1 supporter–my mom!
Before she was a mom….(at her 8th grade graduation)
Speaking of graduation, here’s me with my parents at my high school graduation (taken with a FILM camera #oldschool)

Super random fact about me: my mom and I were extras in a movie called Powder Blue. This is where the scene was filmed in LA.
A special thanks to my mom for sucking it up at the crappy bars in college during parents weekend. This picture was taken at one of the nicer ones (which isn’t even that nice…)
College graduation with my parents (and the only time you’ll ever see me in a shiny red garment).

That’s all. Love you mom!
Accessorizing is my favorite part about getting dressed. Jewelry, shoes, bags…I love them all! But if you’re looking to add a little extra unique piece to your accessories collection, why not try a hair accessory?
I’m teaming up with France Luxe (who makes AWESOME barrettes, headbands, and other fun hair accessories) to give YOU the same studded barrette I’m wearing in the photos above. Of course you’ll get a brand new one, but I wanted to show you how I styled it and I’d love to know how you wear yours!
Here’s how to enter.
1. “Like” France Luxe on Facebook
2. Follow @Franceluxehair on Twitter
3. Leave me a comment below telling me how you’d wear your France Luxe
I’ll pick a winner Friday May 18 at 6pm ct.
