I had the most magical first Mother’s Day with my family at The Cake Bake Shop! We took over the beautiful backroom for an afternoon of fresh mimosas, delicious cakes and perfect presents. I could not have asked for a better afternoon with my daughter. If you haven’t visited this little slice of heaven … put it on your to-do list right away!

I was so excited and honored to be a part of the Saks Fifth Avenue Beauty Week Rituals! I set up camp at my favorite perfume line,  Jo Malone. I shared some of my favorite Jo Malone fragrances with visitors along with my rituals as a mommy and a working lady. The complimentary Jo Malone hand and arm massages, with treats from Tilly’s Tea Room, were the perfect touch. Thank you to all my readers, friends and family that visited the event!

It was so amazing to work with Chad at Jo Malone, I loved hearing about some of the fragrances and combinations I had not tried before. I find that fragrances are so personal and specific to each person. It was so interesting to see which scents guests gravitated towards. My two all-time favorite scents are English Pear & Freesia and Nectarine Blossom & Honey. I’ll be sharing some new scents from the event, that I added to my collection, in an upcoming post!

Tilly’s Tea Room, located on the third floor of Saks Fifth Avenue, is such a lovely place! It was the perfect treat while shopping for fragrances, lotions and candles. Is there anything better? The tea is fabulous and the scones are just out of this world. Trust me on this, I had my fair share during the event.

I could not have been more excited when I saw our name on the floor at Saks! It was crazy to see a name that was thought up in college, in one of my favorite stores. The Saks beauty department is wonderful; I keep up with all the fun by following my dear friend, and the cosmetic manager at Saks, Jessica Winges on Instagram (@jessica_teambeauty). Follow her for all of the info on upcoming events and awesome promotions!

G Michael Salon styled my hair for the evening’s festivities! I just loved the soft curls mixed with one side pulled back for a elegant, yet casual, look. My famous bun has been my go-to hair style lately, especially with my mommy life in full swing. So, it was nice to have my curls back in action!

We are about two months and counting till our little lady makes her debut. Before her big entrance, we needed a few things to help us become successful parents. Earlier in September, my parents hosted the most beautiful baby shower for me and my husband. It truly could not have been more magical. Thank you to all our family and friends for making this day so special!

My extreme love for gems and jewels continued today with a very special visit to Saks Fifth Avenue Indianapolis.  I had the pleasure of meeting the fantastic jewelry designer, Barry Brinker. His incredible designs incorporate found antiquities, stones and precious metals. The combinations are spectacular and the statement pieces are striking. Take a look at some of my favorite goodies from the trunk show.

Thank you to Saks Fifth Avenue Indianapolis and Barry Brinker for having me to view this wonderful collection.
