The Lucky FABB Conference took place on Friday at the SLS Beverly Hills Hotel. It was such a fun way to connect with fashion and beauty bloggers from all over the nation! Eva Chen, editor-in-chief of Lucky Magazine, was the host of the conference, and we were very impressed by her demeanor throughout the interview. Guest speakers for the event included Nicole Richie, Coco Rocha, Sophia Amoruso (Blair’s favorite), Karolina Kurkova, January Jones, Wendy Nguyen, and many others. We gained so many blogging tips about everything from SEO to social media to upcoming fashion and beauty trends. The presenting sponsors for Lucky FABB were Lucky Magazine, P&G Beauty, Covergirl, Olay, Pantene, and Secret. I can’t even begin to explain how much fun we had at the conference with all of our new friends! Check out some of our pictures from the event and stay tuned for tomorrow’s recap of our networking brunch!

As we mentioned on Thursday, we flew out to LA this past weekend for the Lucky FABB Conference at the SLS Beverly Hills Hotel . We had such a fun weekend listening to speakers, meeting new bloggers, exploring the city, and enjoying all the fabulous pampering Lucky FABB provided. We flew in Thursday night and were welcomed with two glamorous events. First, we headed over to Blow Me Away Blow Dry Bar for the Lucky + Wendy’s event. Wendy’s was one of the sponsors for the event to showcase the launch of their newest salad collection, so they gave us all Asian inspired salads while we got our blow outs, which were actually delicious! We had such a fun time getting all dolled up with the girls from the salon! Following this, we headed over to Duplex on Third for the Lucky + Sexy Hair cocktail party, where we mingled with bloggers, sipped cocktails, and learned more about the Sexy Hair products. It was the perfect way to kick off our weekend, and we had such a blast! Take a look at our pictures from Thursday night and stay tuned for more event pictures to come:

This past week, my friends and I traveled down to Cabo San Lucas to celebrate our senior spring break. Though I am thrilled to begin my engineering career next year, I sure am going to miss all of these wonderful breaks I get to enjoy at SMU!
Since we stayed at a large all-inclusive resort last year in Cabo for our break, a group of girls and I decided to take a different route this year and stayed at a beautiful boutique hotel, Cabo Villas, in the heart of the city. Spending 7 days relaxing on the beach sipping pina coladas was definitely my idea of a perfect vacation!
A large portion of our class was down there as well, so we enjoyed hopping around between different resorts and meeting up at Nikki Beach, The Office, and Mango Deck in the evenings. I also really enjoyed our stroll through the harbor to see all the different yachts lined up in the mornings. Overall, we had an amazing time and I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a beach vacation.

No beach vacation is complete without a new bikini! I’m loving the new styles of swimwear this season – cut outs, bra tops, one-pieces, ruffles, and more! Check out some of my favorite looks right now:

I just got back from the most incredible trip to Klosters, Switzerland to celebrate my one year wedding anniversary with my husband. It’s a very cozy, friendly, and quaint town just a two hour train ride from Zurich. I was so excitied to see the town where my husband has made so many memories, plus it’s where Kate Middleton and Prince William went on their first vacation!
We were able to fly into the Zurich airport and easily train to the town where we walked a block to our hotel. I’m not sure about you, but I love a trip where there is no driving involved and we could walk everywhere!
We stayed at the Chesa Grischuna, which is a very old family-owned boutique hotel. My husband’s family has been staying there for over 50 years, and the service is nothing short of fantastic! They also have a wonderful bar and restaurant, so after a long day of skiing you can definitely relax at the hotel. There were several boutiques so I was able to pick up anything I had forgotten to pack, plus it was fun to learn new Swiss brands.
We were very fortunate that we had wonderful sunny skies for our skiing! The one thing I had to get used to was that the color system is blue (beginner), red (intermediate), black (advanced) which was very different for someone used to skiing in the states and Canada.
By our last day, we decided to take a train ride to St. Mortiz! We fell in love with St. Moritz, and I think everyone should experience it at some point. It has all the major shopping like Chanel, Moncler, Brioni (for the hubs), Loro Piana, Louis Vuitton, etc. We had a coffee or lunch at the Carlton , Badrutt’s Palace , and Hotel Kulm and decided the Carlton is by far our favorite! It’s definitely a ski town for the rich and famous! Time for me to get a fur hat, fur coat, and fur boots!
It was the best anniversary I could have ever asked for, and I’m so happy to share our great memories.
