Reem Acra

Sooo, Taylor Swift was performing with Prince William and Bon Jovi, cool. But even better is the amazing dress she was wearinggg!!!

As soon as I saw this picture^, I looked up the designer and it was Reem Acra. While I was googling the designer, and picture of Olivia Wilde came up. She wore a Reem Acra Dress in 2008 to the Emmy Awards (I guess I am a little, a lot, late on news about Olivia's dress).

Olivia looks stunning!

Reem Acra does a lot of gowns that are simply dreamyyy. Future wedding dress inspirations? YES

*pictures from google (you should google more pics of Taylor & Olivia's dress, drool worthy!)

Holiday Gift Guides by Lisa Eldridge

Lisa Eldridge is a very talented, beautiful, make-up artist who also happens to do YouTube videos. She makes quality videos and because she is a real professional makeup artist, she gives the best tips and tutorials.

Last year she put up some great gift guides for the holidays and this year she has done it again, but even better! I absolutely love watching her videos and I just thought I would share her gift guides because they're brilliant!

I'm obsessed with watching Holiday Gift Guide videos (and the Lush videos) because it gets me really excited for Christmas! There are also a lottt of gift guides on YouTube, but I just wanted to share Lisa's because they are my favorite! Hopefully through the videos you can also get inspired to find some amazing gifts for your loved ones! 

Hope she does more of these videos!! (EDIT: She did more!)

Relaxing Weekends

To me lately, the weekends have been a jewel. I look forward to doing nothing or doing something exciting to release all the stress from the week and get ready for a rough week ahead. How about you? I didn't realize how precious my weekends are to me until I started to work.
This morning I slept in, woke up, did some dishes, took out the trash, made myself a cup of coffee, and lit a candle. And as I am sipping my coffee listening to music and browsing the web, I feel so relaxed.

How do you spend your weekends?

Bloglovin' and Cup of Jo

I've heard people talk about bloglovin' a lot but I never made an account because I never knew what it exactly was. It's a website where you can "subscribe" to all the bloggers you like and whenever your favorite blogger uploads a new blog post, it'll be on your bloglovin' feed. It's also a great place to find new bloggers. All your favorite blogs will be in the same spot! I always had all my favorite bloggers favorite-ed on my computer and it was hard to catch up on the LONG list of bloggers I was trying to follow. If only I started bloglovin' a little earlier! Plus it's convenient and easy to use.

I LOVE A Cup of Jo. I've known Joanna's blog from before, but bloglovin' helped me to really fall in love with her. She used to be a magazine writer so all of her posts are super interesting, especially to young woman. From the topic of fashion to relationships, you can satisfy all your girly interests on Joanna's Blog. I love her even more because she's funny too! Check her out!
