Hello and Happy makeup monday! This is the day we talk beauty & hair. I always love to talk about my latest beauty discoveries and all the makeup and hair trends. Speaking of trends, Google’s 2015 Beauty Trends report “man bun” topped the search results for the year. So 2015 is officially the year of the man bun. Here is a glimpse of man bun inspiration…

I’m obsessed with the work of graphic designer Nick Barclay. His work is so clean, minimal and brilliant. Love! He did this project called Three Colour Cities. Basically each city was represented by three colors. His New York Print was Yellow for Cabs, Green for the Statue of Liberty and Grey for Skyscrapers. So lovely. Here is a glimpse…
The day after Halloween is known as the Day of the Dead or Dia de los Muertos in Spanish. This is a Mexican holiday that celebrates the blurred boundaries between life and death. The tradition is that men, women and children honor their deceased loved ones by participating in a joyous festival. I’m so inspired by the artwork of this tradition. As inspiration, today is all about beautiful skulls + flowers. Here is a glimpse…

Happy National Chocolate Day! In honor of today’s chocolate celebration, I’m sharing a recipe and photos of a delicious chocolate cake I baked this weekend for a special birthday. I have never baked a cake before, but I found that making a cake is just like making a very large cupcake (and cupcakes I know!). The cake I baked is called Beatty’s Chocolate Cake. The only thing I added was a layer caramel between the two tiers and also at the top before the frosting. What I do know is that quality ingredients are important – a must! I was so pleased on how the cake turned out and tasted. Here is a glimpse of my first cake…

Last Friday Eve {Christopher Rocco} and I ventured to the country to visit Bob’s Corn Maze and Pumpkin Farm. Deciding to go on a Thursday was the best idea – we practically had the corn maze and pumpkin farm all to ourselves. The sun was out and it was unbelievably perfect weather for pumpkin picking. Loved all the fall colors and everything was just so scenic. We had such an amazing day. Autumn has really officially arrived. Here is a glimpse of our pumpkin party…
