Californian Cabernet Sauvignon

I very much enjoyed this cab. First of all, can we talk about the cute gold packaging?! Come on… The wine itself was very smooth with a classic taste profile. It is aged in a French oak barrel for about a year and has a red color that sits beautifully in any wine glass, XOXO.

Jumilla Blend

This is a beautiful Spanish red blend with the following breakdown of grape varietals: Monastrell %75, Grenache 15%, and Syrah 10%. The Monatstrell grape is of the Valencia Region and this particular wine is made in the Jumilla district, which is essentially South-Eastern Spain and closer inland than to the Mediterranean. The blend is dark, leggy, and on the heavier side. It is slightly spicy and well-balanced. I loved drinking a glass of this wine during the workweek as a nice way to wind down after a long day, XOXO.

Winter Nail Polish Picks

I tend to go for a bold nail. I like color, I like texture, and most of all I just like to have fun with my manicures. Cold weather season is an extra special time for me to break out the dark, sparkly, shiny polish… which I clearly love! Here are my favorite winter nail polish picks from my own personal collection.

OPI – “Lucerne-Tainly Look Marvelous”
Ciate – “Dangerous Affair”
OPI – “Glitzerland”
OPI – “An Affair in Red Square”
Essie – “Aruba Blue”
Red Carpet – “Nominated For…”

Lady in Red

I recently attended a friend’s wedding and wanted to share the dress I wore because I felt so amazing in it! The color, the shape, the lace… I literally loved everything about this dress. For this event I went with a more classic look with pearls, read heels, and a red lip. It will also make a great rewear for the upcoming holidays paired with dark tights and boots, XOXO.
