I have tried so many different hair product lines over the years. Everything from low cost to out-of-this-world prices…I have tested it all. My newest hair product obsession is from Living Proof. This line seriously delivers the most high tech mixtures that I have ever used. From the no-frizz spray to the full thickening cream, this line is worth experimenting with. The Living Proof line is available at Sephora stores near you - so check it out today! Your hair will seriously thank you!! XOXO

Now and again I get the wonderful opportunity to write for San Diego Magazine’s fashion section. Just yesterday my most recent fashion article, Five Fashion Must-Haves for Spring 2010, was posted on the website. Check it out and please pass around!

I am just completely obsessed with a new San Diego-based line of swim suits, Molly B Bikinis. I was recently sent a few samples and can’t get enough of the unique cuts, fresh colors and darling details - this summer is going to be HAUTTE!

What’s even more amazing about this line and the designer, Molly B Goforth, is the origination - SAN DIEGO! What more perfect of a place to start a swimsuit line, than in one of the world’s most notorious beach regions? Molly grew up on the beaches of Southern California where it was “…forbidden to wear the same bikini daily. This obsession with bikinis turned into a hobby in high school, when she designed and sewed her first bikini.” That was just the beginning.

At the start of 2009, Molly decided to launch Molly B Bikinis and has held to the vision of creating a bikini line that complemented her simple beach lifestyle. She draws inspiration for her suits from the idyllic beaches and coves in La Jolla, to the lonely, time trapped beaches of Imperial Beach. Her love of surfing has taken her to exotic places like Fiji, Costa Rica, Panama, Baja and Mainland Mexico. She designs each piece with these adventures in mind, yet offers designs for every woman and their swimwear needs. She believes every girl should have a bikini collection similar to that of their shoes and purses. AMEN, Molly!

Every suit is handmade in San Diego using the finest materials available. Her dream is to have a company with core values that focus on Quality, Community, Responsibility and Spontaneity.

Molly B has a beautiful story of a life long dream and love for the ocean and the pieces we wear to enjoy it! I think the cutest part about this is that Molly is just a fun, loving Southern Californian who wants to give every other SoCal gal a hot suit to play in the water in!

Please check out Molly B Bikinis at MollyBBikinis.com and get a one of a kind suit today! Become a fan on Facebook or follow her on Twitter for latest style announcements and more! Seriously, nobody will have a suit like yours this summer! Especially like the custom one she made for me for my honeymoon later this year (you can’t miss it) - check out the few pieces she sent me, below!! XOXO!

P.S. Take a look at her darling packaging AND the second suit pictured! I about died when I received it - SUPER cute!

Anthropologie is one of my most favorite stores to shop. Even if I don’t buy anything, I love looking through the bins of door & drawer knobs, colorful cookware, romantic bathroom accessories, whimsical clothing and irresistibly smelling candles. Their newest calling: nautical! I love nautical everything! It just feels so fresh and sweet. Makes me want to live on a yacht! Check out their darling new nautical line!

For those of you who don’t know, my birthday was this past Sunday. Yes, turned 26 and it was a great celebration - brunch at Shades in Ocean Beach and then hanging with friends at Sunset Cliffs. Remnants from the day are some hilarious photos taken while at Sunset Cliffs. Enjoy!

P.S. Notice the 2nd pic - The boys making fun of Jason’s and mine engagement pics. LMAO! So funny!

The Gilt Groupe hosted their When in Rome / San Diego Advanced Screening last Thursday night and it went off without a hitch! The movie theater was entirely packed, the snacks were free (and who doesn’t like free movie theater popcorn!?) and the fashion was fabulous; everywhere I looked there was a must-have accessory or fashion staple for Spring at the screening!

Just a recap, the Gilt Groupe along with Marie Claire hosted an advanced screening of When in Rome and a VIP reception afterwards at the Se Hotel in downtown San Diego. Unfortunately I was unable to attend the reception but from the pictures, looks like it was a fabulous party! Great work, Gilt Groupe - keep up the energy and passion for what you’re doing and giving to all fashionistas out there - coveted fashion at an affordable price!!! XOXO

WHO/WHAT: Gilt Groupe founders Alexis Maybank and Alexandra Wilkis Wilson, along with Marie Claire magazine, will host a special screening of Touchstone Pictures’ ‘When in Rome,’ followed by a post-screening cocktail party for San Diego’s most social.

Movie Synopsis: KRISTEN BELL stars in “WHEN IN ROME” as an ambitious young New Yorker who is disillusioned with romance. On a whirlwind trip to Rome, she defiantly plucks magic coins from a fountain of love, inexplicably igniting the passion of those who threw them in: DANNY DEVITO stars as a sausage magnate, JON HEDER is a street magician, WILL ARNETT plays an adoring painter, and DAX SHEPARD steps in as a self-admiring model. But when a charming reporter, played by JOSH DUHAMEL, pursues her with equal zest, she’s not sure if his love is the real thing.

I seriously love dogs and loved this video so much that I had to share it with you all! A dog sensed the recent Eureka earthquake long before humans did! Watch her bolt out of the room! I wonder if Malibu would be that intuitive?

I’m not a big numbers junkie and don’t regularly check my blog statistics. However, just today I noticed several visits to my blog who came through the keyword search phrase “say yes to the dress sarah carr”. Being on the lookout for wedding dresses and loving almost every show on TLC I instantly knew that “say yes to the dress” was the hit TV show about brides on the prowl for their perfect wedding dress. Not only that but the girl who was on the recent show had the name Sarah Carr!

Now I’m just waiting to get emails and Facebook comments about my debut on TLC - but NO, NO I have not been on the show…but I do apparently have mad SEO skills

Here’s the clip - she states her name at 1:15. Enjoy!! xoxo
