Stella & Dot Newbie

A couple weeks ago I went to my first Stella & Dot trunk show that Bella hosted. I'd never been to one nor seen any of their jewelry in person. I've seen the jewelry worn on fashion bloggers, etc but never really knew the what it was all about.

I looked through the Spring catalog multiple times trying to figure out what I wanted from my wishlist. My wishlist seems to grow every day because I think I always need a new piece. Every piece is so beautiful and chic and I've also found a lot of pieces to be versatile. 

I got my package within three days which was awesome and I was able to wear it before Valentine's Day. Check out how cute the boxes and packaging are. I couldn't throw the boxes away because they're too adorable. 





How gorgeous are the pieces I got? I wear my bracelets every day and they go with everything. I've even added the gold ones on my wishlist. The charm necklace has become a favorite as well and I'm hoping to add more charms to it and give some ideas to friends and family on what to get me for my birthday or Christmas or just whenever ;-) The scarf? Oh. My. God. I love it!! I mean, look at it. The print, the colors, oh and it feels amazing. I'm obsessed.



Seriously, go check out Bella's Stella & Dot page and create a wishlist or better yet, host a trunk show and get your girlies to join you! I'm actually hosting one this weekend with friends and family. Love anytime I can spend with the girls, shopping & sipping on some adult beverages! Holla!

Boy Behind the Blog

I'm linking up with Mal and Stephanie today for Boy Behind the Blog. I thought it'd be fun for you all to get to know the boy who has my heart. 


Little background on us and him. We've been together for 7 years. Live together with our dog Rico. He's from Colombia. He's 27 going on 65. He's a tech geek. We're best friends. 

I just asked the questions and typed up his answers, word for word.

1. If you could live anywhere, where would you live?
Brazil. 

2. Sand or snow?
Sand. Snow is cold and shitty. 

3. What Winter Olympic sport would you rock at?
Curling. I would suck at skating or skiing.

4. You're cooking a romantic dinner- what is your go-to dish?
Tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich. Doesn't get more romantic than that. 

5. Fill in the blank: This year, I gave Melanie a ____________________ for Valentine's Day?
Sony headphones. 

Well, that wasn't too bad.

Juan is a practical gift giver. I usually get something useful like windshield wipers or headphones. Hey! I'll take what I can get!

Weekend Recap

Happy President's Day! I'm jealous if you had the day off and got to sleep in and relax for an extra day. Hope your weekend was great! My weekend was a little whirlwind and fun. Ha! That's probably the best I can describe it.

I'll start with Thursday night. My girl Bella hosted an Anti-Valentine's Day Bash at Mockingbird Station in Dallas. It was so much fun and I'm so glad I went. I took a girlfriend with me and we both had a blast. Here are a few photos from the night. They had live music, photo booth, food, drinks, glitter tattoos, and Mr. Hottie aka Cupid. 




Friday was of course Valentine's Day. I probably over indulged in sweets at work and it was my boss' last day at work so we celebrated him with a cake. I may or may not have had a piece. Okay, I did. Juan and I had planned to just grab dinner at my favorite place, Zoe's Kitchen and catch a movie. Nothing fancy. I just wanted to spend time with him. We ended up watching About Last Night with Keven Hart. It was pretty funny but I thought it got boring an hour in. Every scene was about sex and it ended up being a love story. So predictable. I enjoyed our time together, as I always do. 

We don't really exchange gifts for Valentine's Day but I found Datevitation.com and I knew I had to get him something. You can create your own coupon date book. 
Here's just a glimpse of what Juan's looked like. He's already wanting to use it! "Calm down bro!" 
The one on the right says "win an argument. You're right. I'm wrong. Case closed."
He got me some headphones I've been wanting since the earbuds he gave me don't fit in my ear. I needed ones that go over the ear. Small ear problems. 

Saturday I had lunch with a friend and her 5 year old daughter. It was good times. He daughter is so funny so it made for great conversation. And it was good catching up with her. I also treated myself to a white chocolate covered strawberry since I was still in the Valentine's Day mood. 
Doesn't it look delicious and pretty? It was, trust me! 

I went home and cleaned out my closet to get rid of crap I don't need anymore. The weather called for it too since it got warm this weekend and I needed to do some Spring cleaning. 

My friend invited me over for some girl time that night and of course I couldn't say no. I love time with my girls. So I went over with food and we watched movies and chatted. I ended up leaving (or trying to leave) around midnight and when I went out to get in my car...MY CAR WAS GONE! I panicked and ran back to her place and didn't know what to do. I didn't want to call Juan or my parents because they'd probably be mad but my only resort was to call Juan. My parents were out of town and I didn't want them to be mad or worried. Yes, I'm 26 years old and my parents still get mad at me and worry. I called 911 and they told me my car had been towed because I was parked in reserved parking. I was so pissed at myself. Why didn't I check? Why was I in such a hurry? Juan ended up picking me up and we picked up my car. It costs me $300 to get it out. KILL ME! FACK! Oh well, I have to pay the price for my stupidity and I promise that will not be happening again. 

Sunday was spent cleaning my house and grocery shopping with Juan. We had a late lunch at Chuy's and the food was so good! Juan and I laughed about my car being towed the night before and his hatred for the towing companies. He has stories so I could understand. And like every Sunday, I meal prepped and got ready for the week.

Happy Monday y'all! Stay positive and have a great week!
