When life throws you for a loop, I tend to seek comfort in the small things. Homemade brownies, a lunchtime mani, and a bit of retail therapy are all some frivolous things that helped to temporarily take my mind off of a long and difficult weekend. As for a close friend whose life was suddenly flipped upside down last week, I sent her the pic below, hoping it could bring her a bit of peace as well.

{mom and dad...circa late 70's}
Happy 30th anniversary to my dear mom and dad. I’ll always remember celebrating my parents 25th anniversary, and someone asking them, ‘what’s the secret for such a long lasting marraige?’ My mom replied, ‘There’s no secret – if it’s the right person it’s really not that hard.’ (hah!) While the last few years have brought about more laughs and tears than we could have ever imagined, I am truly lucky to have you both in my life. Love you guys.

I could spend hours browsing through style.com and pouring over every new line that comes out, but there is nothing quite like the fashion candy that is Louis Vuitton. Heavy indulgent fur, gold and silver sequins, a leopard print suit, and the feminine shapes have me enamored with the Louis Vuitton pre-fall 2012 line.

As a lifelong fan of any treat that has marshmallows, when I saw s’mores bars on Pinterest I couldn’t make them fast enough (I followed this easy recipe). A weekend get together with a couple friends was the perfect excuse to whip up these bad boys (and we may or may not have eaten most of them before dinner).

A few instagram shots from the past week…just when I think the newest J Crew collection can’t get any better…somehow they manage to do just that, super indulgent and tasty cupcakes delivered to my office, wearing my Tory Burch loafers on one last snow-free day, a J Crew floral dress that may be just what I need to get through a dreary winter, latest pull outs from my mags, a favorite new eye makeup remover, and my new Michael Kors dress.

This past weekend flew bly. I attended a party at a local winery-where I wore my new BCBG sequin skirt, brunched with two dear blogger friends- Sam of The Brunette One and Brittney of Hush n Wonder (where we were surprised with a restaurant full of Elvis Presley look-alikes, as they were having an Elvis dress up contest in honor of the Kings birthday), and got the chance to wear a couple of my favorite sparkly things – my oversized stone Bauble Bar necklace and Alice + Olivia for Keds sequin kicks. I also continued to enjoy the strange {but I’ll take it!} spring-like weather…anyone else?

While I love my jeans – and the fact that I can wear them to work every day – I have always been more comfortable in skirts and dresses. I picked up this McGinn skirt last weekend in Dallas and couldn’t wait to wear twirl around in it. It’s girly shape, thick silky material, and messy print make it totally wearable year round – with tights or without.
{mcginn skirt, banana republic top, old navy jacket, cynthia rowley booties, coach purse, double hue tights}
*When wearing black tights, I almost always wear 2 pairs together – it makes them super black and keeps me warmer in the winter. I’m always on the hunt for a great new pair of black tights though – let me know if you have a favorite brand.

A few extra pics from my Texas trip…which included almost getting locked inside Neiman Marcus as they were closing {seriously…they had to roll back up the locked metal door to let me out!}, french macaroons and mimosas for breakfast, and witnessing the most human-like mannequins I’ve ever encountered at the creepy yet incredible Jean-Paul Gaultier exhibit.
