Suit Up for Happy Hour

The weather in Scottsdale has been nothing short of perfect: crisp, sunny, breezy and not a drop of humidity in sight. But as Miami teeters dangerously close to Summer even in the very beginnings of Spring, a girl has to set aside fantasies of cooler days and just suit up.

In today’s Happy Hour, I give you a few suits to splurge on this payday – swimsuits that will have you begging for those scorching Summer days on the beach. Or at least a really great lounge chair to wear them on while channeling your inner Bettie Page.

iPhone Love: Hot Cases

When I’m not blogging, I’m working on events (also commonly referred to as running around like a mad woman until your feet are numb, your back is in fragments, and your head keeps wondering whether you’re truly THE quintessential career masochist.). And as many of you who run around for a living already know, your phone is your lifeline. It makes every single thing happen. I know there are many phone options out there, but I favor the iPhone and, as such, would like to dearly thank my faithful companion for keeping me connected to colleagues, staff, loved ones, and Pinterest through countless setups, room turns, breakouts, breakdowns, and invigoratingly strenuous 16 hour work days. I promise to show a little love in return with some of these sexy little things. XOXO. – A

Arizona Inspired

This week finds me in Scottsdale, land of red sands, lavish golf resorts, exquisite spas, and very good hair days (read: zero humidity). And while I’m here purely for work, it’s hard not to be inspired by a place with so much vivid texture and tapestry. Mostly everything here has been embellished with some sort of rich print and it’s left me hungry for more indigenous flavors. So I leave you with two little treats to indulge in mid-week, as it appears Gwen Stefani was also feeling inspired by the same.

Haute Heel Happy Hour

We are soaring to new heights for this Friday’s Happy Hour as I’m finding it hard to turn my attention away from the Cirque show the hubby and I will be catching later tonight. It’ll be MJ all the way this evening and I just want to put on my dancing shoes and jam out to P.Y.T. until my neighbors bang on the wall for mercy (they totally deserve it).

In honor of the sequined moon-walker, I give you the high heels I’m pretty sure Michael was singing about.
