One-on-One with Tata Harper

One-on-One with Tata Harper

Tata Harper, Ellen Flowers

This morning I had the opportunity to sit down for a one-on-one interview with the lovely Tata Harper at the Nordstrom Galleria spa to learn all about her skincare product line, which prides itself on its organic and natural ingredients.

Tata was born and raised in Columbia, where beauty was a way of life. Tata had a similar experience as us with our father, where she discovered the importance of skincare products when her stepfather was diagnosed with cancer. As she began to research the ingredients in these beauty products she had grown up using, she discovered many of these ingredients in fact were causes of cancer. This discovery, combined with her engineering background, was what inspired Tata to research and develop her own line of healthy and all-natural anti-aging skincare products.

What I loved most about Tata’s skincare line is the hands on approach she has in the development of its products. Tata develops all of the products on her farm in Vermont, and combines natural ingredients from all over the world to produce an anti-aging product like none other. As we sat and talked, I tested out each of her products and have to say, my skin has never felt more silky smooth! Not only is my skin glowing, but the delicious scent of fresh flowers is still lingering throughout the day.

For anyone who loves a fresh facial, I highly recommend stopping by Nordstrom for one of Tata Harper’s facial treatments. My new favorite, which will be launching soon, is the Red Carpet Facial. This treatment combines four different masks to give you that event-ready look in just 90 minutes!

Though I am still in my 20s, I have come to appreciate the importance of preventative skincare. Starting an anti-aging routine at a young age is the smartest thing any woman can do, and I am so excited to try out all of new products I received today! Serums are definitely one of my newest favorite products, and I love the variations available from her line. Be sure to check out all of her products available online to give you skin a healthy and natural glow!

rewardStyle the conference joule hotel 2014

#rSthecon – rewardStyle’s “The Conference” took place in Dallas this past weekend, and we were so excited that we were able to attend this year. The Conference was held at the Joule Hotel and was one of the most fabulous events we have attended yet. Friday morning we gathered at the Joule to meet with 22 brands (such as Piperlime, Kendra Scott, Nordstrom, French Connection, ASOS, Nasty Gal, and plenty more!) to learn more about their brand and how they worked with bloggers. Lunch was held at the original Neiman Marcus downtown, which was complete with everything pink and feminine! Later that evening we all met downtown at The Eye for a picture-perfect happy hour hosted by Kate Spade. Day 1 was definitely a success, and we had so much fun with all of our new blogger friends!

We all gathered at the Joule again on Saturday morning for a full day of meetings to learn more about the industry. The rewardStyle speakers were so informative, and we were so excited for all of the new tips and information we took away from the day! Lunch was hosted on the terrace by Express, where we got an inside look into their new runway campaign (keep an eye out for Kate Uptown next season!). That night, we were so excited to be a part of The Outnet’s 5th Anniversary party at St. Ann in uptown and loved seeing the premiere of their new video campaign starring Amber Venz of Venzedits, Wendy of Wendy’s Lookbook, Helena of Brooklyn Blonde, Jessica of Tuula Vintage, and Aimee of Song of Style.

Since so many bloggers traveled from all over the world to come to Dallas for the conference, the weekend was wrapped up with a full Texas experience luncheon on Sunday – and what better place than Southfork Ranch where “Dallas” is filmed! With live country music, corn hole, a bloody mary bar, mechanical bull, and a hay ride (which was an absolute blast), the afternoon was such a perfect way to conclude a fashionable and fabulous weekend! Be sure to check out our instagram for more pictures from the event. Let the countdown to next year’s conference begin! xo

I’m really enjoying the comeback of the palazzo pant this Spring. They are like the cool older sibling of those short-lived gaucho pants that arose when I was in high school – like I’ve said before, I’m all about the comfortable clothes!  As one of the most popular styles in the 60’s, printed palazzo pants embody a certain flower child vibe which I absolutely adore. The trick to palazzo pants is all about the length. Make sure to find a pair that skims the ground in wedges or flat sandals. Also, be sure to pair them with a solid, fitted top to avoid looking sloppy. Get the look with these, these, these, or these!

Happy Anniversary To The Butlers: Blair & Peter’s Seaside Wedding

Happy Anniversary To The Butlers: Blair & Peter’s Seaside Wedding

30A Wedding

In celebration of Blair and Peter’s one year anniversary, we wanted to spotlight their beautiful wedding in Seaside, FL last year. The couple was introduced by mutual friends in boarding school before attending SMU, so the perfect wedding was definitely a must for these two after all the years.

Since Peter proposed to Blair in Roaring Gap, NC, they decided a charming beach town near our home in Destin would be the perfect location for the wedding. With the help of their amazing wedding planner, Heather, the weekend was more than a success for everyone.

We hope these two are having a wonderful anniversary trip in Klosters, Switzerland right now! Take a peek at some of the beautiful pictures from the weekend below:
