Tarina Tarantino

Tarina Tarantino is one of my favorite jewelery designers. She started out with just designing hair jewelery such as fun and funky hair clips, head bands, floral and feather hair pieces, etc. She then branched out and started creating many accessories, my favorite being the "Pink Head Collection" which stars my favorite thing...Hello Kitty! Many of her pieces have pretty Swarovski crystals adorned on it. Tarina also carries a Barbie Collection, a Bridal Collection and much more. Check out www.tarinatarantino.com to see her amazing collections! Below are some of her pieces. My best friend bought me the Hello Kitty Garter and I wore it on my wedding day!

Happy Easter

I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A BEAUTIFUL HOLIDAY SPENDING TIME WITH THEIR PEEPS!

Destination Manhattan

Ya I wish, but the two story Spa on Flamingo and Hualapi will have to do. Destination Manhattan is a glamourous spa that my good friend Michelle works at. She is an amazing Esthetician aka Skin Care Provider and has the best customer service skills. Yes, the economy is bad but if you are as hairy as me you need to hire a maintenace crew every so often! No one wants a unibrow=) Go check it out: http://www.destinationspasalon.com/Salons/Manhattan/index.htm

If you go ask for Michelle!

Lia Sophia

Last night I attended my fourth Lia Sophia party. For those that don't know, it is a beautiful jewelry line that has been around for awhile. Their jewelry is so pretty. All of their stones are real, all their pieces are plated with 14k gold, and every piece you buy has a lifetime guarantee. One of my friends sells it and hosts many party's. They are such a fun reason to get your girls together, eat, drink, and buy fun jewelry. We had the party at Jen's mom's highrise in the Art District. It was so nice and edgy. The view of the city was amazing. If you have a Lia Sophia party you get a lot of free items, plus money to spend on jewelry.
YAAAY for girls nights!

Good Things Come in 3's

Everyone knows my love for weddings, but when it is a best friend getting married it is so much more special and important. Three of my best friends are getting married to their amazing fiance's this year. Jen on May 30th at Pauite Golf Course, Missy on August 8th at Lake Tahoe, and Elissa on Sept.19th at A Secret Garden. I am so excited for them to experience how awesome married life is. It is a blessing and these 3 girls deserve it! I can't wait for all of the festivities to begin. I am honored to be a bridesmaid in two of them as well. Love you girls! Here are some of their engagement photos with their soon to be husbands:
