Trending || Moravian Star Chandelier

via

Happy Thursday loves! Today I am forecasting fall trends over at The Peak of Tres Chic.  Go over and show Sam some love! 

I wanted to highlight a trend (mentioned in my forecasts) that I am seeing pop up more and more in interiors, the Moravian star chandelier. I love how this lighting fixture adds such a whimsical and fun twist to a space. My favorite rooms to utilize the Moravian star are in hallways, outdoor patios, and kitchens. I also spotted one in a nursery a while back and it was just perfection!

Introducing Jordan Taylor...

They have a gorgeous selection of cover ups, so grab yours before summer ends!  They are also releasing a new swimwear line for 2014 and I can't wait to pair my breezy cover up (get it here) with a new bikini! 

I coerced Scott into taking these photos of me on our balcony, he is not too bad of a photographer is he?!

Dare to Fail

I have never needed Friday more than I have this week. Thank you for finally showing up Friday, jeez it took you a while! 

Do you dare yourself to fail in your daily life? I have always been one to take risks and live life on the edge, but recently I have found myself more afraid of venturing into the unknown.  This weekend I plan to re-focus my priorities and embrace the moments that are the scariest, we only live once right?!

Do you consider yourself a risk taker or do you prefer familiarity and comfort?

Happy weekend lovelies!

NYFW || Zac Posen

Zac Posen's designs leave me breathless time and time again. I first fell in love with him when I worked for IMG and attended/reported on Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in 2009. He has drool worthy talent!

Posen's Spring 2014 collection did not disappoint. The show was abundant with floor sweeping gowns and flamboyant ruffles in roses and lilacs. Show stopping beauty cascaded down the runway...

For those of you everyday ladies out there who can't afford an 8,000 dollar designer item (me included), Zac Posen has a lower priced line called Z Spoke. Z Spoke has some pretty amazing arm accessories, check out this over the shoulder bag and this amazing satchel- I love getting the look for less, don't you?
