Hey Guys! I've transitioned my blog over to KG Blog now, so feel free to follow me there! I will be removing posts over time here and importing some of my better ones over there. So hop on over and follow me on Bloglovin', Feedly, or whatever your rss of choice. <3 p="">

2015: of to a busy start!

With the new year comes loads of changes. January flew by as I completed projects, started a new job, and settled into my new nest at last. February is also flying by. It's my birthday month, which I sort of dread and love at the same time.

I will surely get better at blogging as I settle into my new work schedule! I also plan on traveling much more this year so expect some happy travel posts and loads of pictures.

Lately, here in our snow globe it has been never ending cold. We have been snuggling with cats and drinking copious amounts of gin (surprise?). I'm very excited to push this blog to the next level and share tutorials, reviews, and much more. Cheers! Hope everyone is enjoying their new year.

Vacation: Eden Roc, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

Truly felt blessed having won this amazing vacation courtesy of Allure Magazine and Eden Roc (Best of Beauty 2013). My boyfriend Tom and I took off on the 10th of this month and started an amazing relaxing vacation on the beach to a country the two of us have never been to! 

The Dominican Republic was certainly beautiful. We arrived in Punta Cana in the afternoon and were taken to the resort. Tom had never been to another country (unless you count Canada which is basically 10 feet away from us here) so I was really looking forward to him experiencing something different! Everywhere you look was like a desktop image... perfection, but real!

I took so many photos of our trip, I tried to carry my camera everywhere because I just wanted to capture all the beautiful bits of DR. Everything we ate was spectacular. I eating was one of the most exciting parts because we had fresh delicious fish (and much more) every day! But of course just sitting on the beach with our feet in the perfect beach-combed white sand was something that could not be replicated.

We had a golf cart for the entirety of our trip, which we took EVERYWHERE we could go! We searched out another beach, which was very cool to see as well. We also explored the Marina, where we accidentally walked onto a movie set! The beach at the Marina was also very nice, and I was able to pick up some lovely shells from the shore. We sat on the rocks for a bit and watched as dark clouds rolled in, even though it didn't even rain.

Another part of the trip I was looking forward to was The Spa at Eden Roc. The Spa at Eden Roc was beautiful, and I wish I had time to experience more than just a massage and facial. They really took care of us and we walked away so refreshed.

It was hard to leave what we had made as our home away from home. Everyone we met was so accommodating and willing to answer any question we had. Not only were the workers at Eden Roc wonderful, they went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and felt comfortable.

Next post: More photos from this vacation! I have a huge camera full of photos I'm ready to share with you guys  XO -K

Fall Fashion I Adore... For Men! Feat. Bonobos

Who doesn't love a sharp dressed man? Fall is a time for tailored pieces, and every man needs a great blazer in their closet. Easily dressed up or dressed down, I think I am very simply attracted to the dressed down style. To me, it is still dressed up!

Bonobos Fall 2014

I created a board inspired by Bonobos fall men's suit line for 2014. I am also heavily inspired by men's street style, specifically in Paris. Because let's face it, every man in Paris is gorgeous (and every woman who are we kidding). Enjoy and let me know what you think! Would you like your best guy friend, boyfriend or a date to dress like this? I picked these pieces because you can easily mix and match them. Though they are also all fall staples.

Selection: 1.) The Jet Setter- Navy - $398 2.) The Nottingham Blazer- Grey - $425 3.) Fieldhouse Flannel- Red & Blue Plaid - $98 4.) Mill River Chambray Shirt - $128 5.) Travel Jeans- Manhattan Midnight - $98 6.) Red Maples Washed Chinos - $88 7.) French Corders- Stone - $125 8.) Alfred Black Calf - $450

Look: Rose Quartz

A day off typically consists of me working at home. But I also set aside some play time to do a little photoshoot in my bedroom.
