outfit: BEL KAZAN TWO TIMER MINI DRESS WITH FRONT ZIPPERS

I'm loving my new mini dress from my good friend and talented designer Belinda.  Her line is called Bel Kazan; if you don't know the line you should!  Bel Kazan is all about original prints and flattering fits.  I love the soft jersey fabric, tribal print, and zipper detail on this dress.  I will definitely be wearing it all summer long!

Fairy Tale Easter Egg Hunt

Every year I get invited to spend Easter with my friend Gina and her family.  They have the most unbelievable property here in Los Angeles with the most incredible garden setting.  There are rolling lawns, bridges covered in greenery, topiaries, and playful statues; it's like something out of a fairy tale!

It was the perfect place to spend a gorgeous Easter Sunday.  Everyone got to participate in the Easter Egg Hunt and the setting was just so beautiful I had to share it...

The last image is a statue of a girl reading a love letter and the letter is actually written out; how sweet is that?!

What did you do for Easter?
