My Creative Side With Timree Gold

I was watching the Real Housewives of Orange County a while back and saw an episode where all the girls went to a painting class.  It looked like so much fun and the studio and artist were just adorable.  I had to find out more about it.  So, after doing some research, I found the talented Timree Gold.  

What I love about Timree is she makes it easy for anyone to become an artist and express their creative side.  My mom is amazing and makes anything and everything.  I knew the class would be right up her alley.  I was a little unsure of my own ability though.  Mom and I decided to head down to Timree's studio to paint what else, a Chanel bottle of perfume!

Here's my finished product!

And here's Mom's!

The class was so much fun and about an hour and half.  Classes are $50 and up.  If you are in the Southern California area, you have to sign up or just visit her adorable studio.  Check out the space:

Well?  What are you waiting for?  Go book a class and tell Timree that I sent you!

Fashion Friday Kate Spade

I'm so excited for this week's Fashion Friday post.  It's no secret that I'm obsessed with Kate Spade.  I've taken a break from her for a few months, and now I'm back in love.  The summer line is adorable and so colorful.  I literally bought every bangle she makes and can't wait to share them with you soon!  I tried to get the photos from the Kate Spade website, but they aren't as user friendly as of course, where else, (Nordstrom), so please tell me what you think about a few of my current favorites:

I just ordered this bracelet!

and there's even adorable dishes!

Are You Bikini Ready?

Thursday already?  Where has the week gone?  I hope you've all had a great week so far and are looking forward to the weekend.  It's been absolutely gorgeous here in sunny southern California this week.  I can't wait to get to the beach...and to get to the beach I need to be bikini ready.  I've been working my butt off the past few months and hope to look great in my suit this summer!  I found some amazing suits on Pinterest.  Check them out!

I notice that the only photos I found that the girl has a belly ring is the two above.  They look so adorable.  I used to have my belly button pierced, but took it out a few years ago.  It left a hole and hasn't gone away.  I'm thinking it might be time to re-pierce?  Do you have your belly button pierced?  I'm thinking if I do it, I have to get this adorable belly ring

What do you think?  There are a few others, help me pick here.
