Bright paints are becoming more popular when it comes to decorating kitchens and living rooms. I would have to see this beauty in person to know whether or not it’s a bit too much. I sure love purple, so I am definitely intrigued!
Michaela Jedinak
A designer I have recently discovered and fallen in love with is Michaela Jedinak. Her line of dresses are incredibly well made, not to mention, eye catching. What really makes this designer unique is she makes dresses for each body shape.
They have small details that make them pop and have their own charming look. Unfortunately they are a bit pricey, but I can admire from afar. These dresses would be perfect to wear to work- not to mention, they would look great on t.v.! 
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Premier
I had the pleasure of styling Eileen Davidson for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 6 premier party. What an experience!
As a newer stylist, hearing back from people in the industry that I would love to work with is just beyond exciting. I’m definitely in the honeymoon phase of my career: it’s all new, I’m often awestruck, and l know that it’s a learning experience (especially the first year).
Hot red floor length dresses I’m drooling over…
I am always looking for gorgeous gowns that I can get my hands on for my clients. Unfortunately, some of them I just don’t have access to (yet!) Like this gorgeous red floorlength gown by Victoria Beckham (my favorite celebrity, not to mention favorite designer I can’t afford).
Another great red dress I came across is this stunning off the shoulder number by Adrianna Papell. Sweetheart necklines are my favorite;I am noticing off the shoulder dresses more and more this season…and I love it!
Wine bottle lights
My latest DIY project. Loving these wine bottle lights!
Random cute finds / must haves
I love this colorful display- not exactly sure where this image came from.
Style must haves: I am a huge Real Housewives fan. I fell in love with the gorgeous diamond necklace Meghan Edmonds wore in the past few episodes. I also loved the dress she paired it with .
Recent must haves from Donna Morgan
This past year, I have been exposed to different designers that I have fallen in love with. As far as daydresses go, Donna Morgan became an instant favorite for me.
Feminine, chic, textured, and elegant are some of the words that come to mind when I look at pieces for her Fall/Winter 2015 collection.
Here are some of my personal favorites that currently have me drooling:
Georgia Foil Lace Fit & Flare – buy here
Flirty and textured little black dress. Cute a-line length.
MIRANDA JERSEY FIT & FLARE – buy here
I love this spunky, unique blue number. Another great textured piece.
CANDICE JERSEY PLEATED GOWN – buy here
I’m not sure where I would wear this next dress to (wedding, perhaps?) but it’s absolutely gorgeous so I had to include it. Sophisticated and sleek. The color is to die for.
Who is your favorite dress designer? How often do you splurge on pieces you absolutely must have?
Stylish treats: De Coeur Bake Shop in Bakersfield, CA
I appreciate style and art in all varieties…especially when it comes to delicious treats!
Inspiring treats! Is that an eiffel tower kit-kat bar? What a dream come true if it really is.
While I was on instagram one day, I saw a post of some of the cutest cookies I have ever seen. I thought “I wish Bakersfield had a bakery that made things like that!” When I realized that the talented pastry artist behind these treats is indeed, living in Bakersfield, running her own shop, I was beyond excited!
The shop is De Coeur Bake Shop, located at 1818 G St. in downtown Bakersfield. Some of the most uniquely crafted pastries and treats I have ever seen can be found at this lovely shop.
De Coeur also does catering, and if you need a unique special cake made- look no further!
You can also get savory, delicious food at De Coeur:
If you have discovered new food spots in Bakersfield worth drooling over, let me know!
Pieces for on camera
Wardrobe Styling- On Camera- I always select pieces for on-air that are well-structured, simple, and flattering. Bold, beautiful colors that pop are great for camera and TV. My favorite colors to work with depend on my client and what flatters her. However, overall my favorite colors for camera are blues (esp cobalts and royals); green (unless it’s for a weather girl- she’ll key out); purples (violet/plum/magenta); and pinks (fuschia/watermelon). White and black can work for on camera if the lighting is adjusted accordingly while taping.
Liberte Chan of KTLA – This cobalt blue dress Liberte is wearing has a great cut on the bottom, hard to see, but you can see part of it in the bottom two pictures. Many women don’t care to go sleeveless for on camera (as well as in real life!), which is why cap sleeves are a great alternative- they give you a whisp of a sleeve, which can be incredibly flattering if it hits your arm just right- yet they almost make you feel like you are wearing a sleeveless piece.
Cowl necks- such as the one pictured below- tend to make people “iffy”- and understandably so because sometimes you tend to have to keep adjusting them. If the piece you are using is well structured, then the cowl neck will be too, like the one Gabriela is wearing.
