Label to Watch: MSGM

MSGM is an Italian label whose traditional pieces have the perfect balance of edge and femininity. The tailoring, the colors, the styling is absolute perfection! This is a bold claim, but if I was sentenced to wear one label forever I would hope it was MSGM.  I am so in love with their 2012 pre-fall collection that I just had to share it with you.

Have a great weekend!

Black on Black on Black

I adore rooms with black or dark grey walls.There is just something really sexy and glamorous about a dark wall. Especially if they are done in high gloss or lacquer. I seriously cannot get enough.  I thought I would share some of my favorites...

I went nuts over these black lacquered walls. How incredible does the peacock blue on the chairs look against the black walls?! They are perfect. March 2012 issue of Elle Decor
I love the traditional wood paneling on the walls with the sleek dark color. A modern approach to traditional living.  AtlantaHomesMag.com

If the walls were lacquered, you removed the antlers & added some large art AND replaced the lampshades this room pretty much equals my dream master bedroom.  via Thedecorista.com
Aren't they gorgeous?!

#The New "Carrie" Necklace

In 1998 when Carrie Bradshaw first wore her nameplate necklace on Sex and the City it became an instant classic.  If you love the look but are wanting something a little more 2012- look no further!  Baublebar has come out with the twitter nameplate necklace.  It is perfect for a "modern-day social media maven".   The necklaces come in three colors: silver, gold, and rose gold.  They are priced at $88.00 and make a great gift!  Since they are personalized- allow 5-8 weeks for delivery. 


What do you think of the twitter nameplate necklace? I'm loving it!

Life Lately: A Few Snapshots

Last month I was in Nashville for work and got to spend some time with the girls from the new Calypso St. Barth boutique in Nashville.  I wanted to share a couple pictures from their adorable booth at the Nashville Pink Bridal Show.  I also moved into my new apartment last month and have been slowly piecing it together.  I have been doing lots of painting and trying to pick up things here and there.  One of my favorite finds (from Spin Vintage) was a yellow patent leather ice bucket. It is the perfect addition to my bar!  My mom surprised me this week with a big piece of amethyst as an early valentines present. I am obsessed. I can't wait to add it to my bookshelves or set atop of some lovely coffee table books.  

I plan weddings for a living but have never been in one (I was once asked to be a flower girl but the wedding was called off- long story).  As of lately, this has all changed. I am currently doing double duty as a bridesmaid and wedding planner for two of my best friends (Whitney and Caroline). I am beyond excited!  I am so dedicated to making my friends' days perfect that my boyfriend has started calling me maid-zilla.  Oops. Caroline sent me the yummy cookie from the photo to ask me to be a part of her wedding.  Isn't it cute?! 

I apologize for all the rambling. 
I am feeling very blessed! 
Have a wonderful day!

Maggie Jones: Pink Makeup Picks

I LOVE pink...I just can't help myself. I think a pop of pink (lips, cheeks or both) can really brighten a face. It looks great on fair winter skin or glowing summer skin. In honor of the pinkest holiday, here are some of my favorites. 



1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9

TIP about OPI Pink Friday by Nicki Minaj (#8): This polish is very matte and its difficult to get on without streaking. Layer one coat of white polish (or a ridge filler base) under two coats.

Happy Valentines Day!
