where did you get that?

Edit-51
where did you get that, mcginn dress, purple hat, dolce & gabbana sandalslong hair styles, belle noel, gold necklace, kim kardashian necklace, mcginn dresswide brim hat, long hair styles, mcginn dress celine trapeze bag, dolce & gabbana heels, dolce & gabbana sandals dolce & gabbana heels, dolce & gabbana sandals, D&G heels, D&G sandals Dress: McGinn (scored via The Hunt and currently in my Poshmark closet…!) // Shoes: Dolce & Gabbana // Necklace: Belle Noel // Hat: H&M, similar from San Diego Hat Company // Bracelet: Leslie Danzis // Sunglasses: Target // Bag: Celine

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve uttered the sentence, “OMG where did you get that??”, while gushing over someone’s shoes, bag, necklace, dress, you name it.  But given the popularity of image sharing apps like Pinterest, Tumblr, and Instagram–sometimes you’re not able to ask where to find the items you covet.

That was my issue a few weeks back when I saw this McGinn dress on Pinterest and I couldn’t get it out of my mind.  I loved the sweetheart shape to it, the vintage-looking tulle peeking out of the bottom–it was the perfect dress for an upcoming event and I had to have it.  So I clicked the link from the pinboard and it led me to a broken link…with no dress to be found.  Broken link…broken fashionista heart!

Heartbroken over a fashion missed-connection, one of my friends told me about The Hunt.  Being the tech lover that I am, I was excited to learn about a new platform making online shopping an interactive experience while helping you track down the products you’re craving.  Here is how my experience went down…I started a hunt for the exact McGinn dress that I was looking for and posted it out to the community of over 250,000 active members.  Within a few days, one of the community members had shared a link with me where they had seen the dress at an online retailer.  Needless to say, I clicked ‘add to cart’ and was able to get my dress in time for the event!  It was the perfection connection, all made possible by The Hunt community, so cool!

You can start your hunt for an item by uploading a photo or by connecting your Pinterest, Tumblr, or Instagram account.  Users can start hunts for exact items, similar items, looks for less or ask other users to help them style items, and get real-time feedback from fashionistas from around the world.  I love the idea of a site that is rewarding to find the item you’re looking for but also a place to contribute back and share your knowledge.  It’s all about helping others find what they’re looking for so when you start a hunt, others will be likely to help you out as well.

I’m SO EXCITED that I discovered the The Hunt (and my McGinn dress!) and am glad to be able to share it with you too.  Have you guys used The Hunt yet?  I’d love to hear about your experience!

Finally tried @dintaifungusa and wow! So good! Her Finally tried @dintaifungusa and wow! So good! Here’s what we ordered:

🌟Cucumber Salad - a bright and light starter I’d love to make these at home (and @glucosegoddess would be proud!)
🌟String Beans with Garlic - I would have eaten 3 more orders of this had they not been $16/each. I’ve already been searching for copy cat recipes because they are just SO DAMN GOOD
🌟Kurobuta Pork Xiao Long Bao - these are their classic soup dumpling and very yummy and chewy and I loved the soy-vinegar sauce pairing with it
🌟 Sticky Rice & Kurobuta Pork Shao Mai - these were recommended in a TikTok video but they weren’t my favorite. The rice plus the dough was just too much IMO
🌟 Chicken Spicy Wontons - these were very good! I would drink the bowl of sauce if no one was watching…
🌟 Chocolate & Mochi Xiao Long Bao - wow, what a great to end the meal! We don’t order dessert often but this really good. Love the melty creamy chocolate!

Can’t wait to go back! Have you been? You’ve got to try it!
I waited to share putting my 2023 vision board tog I waited to share putting my 2023 vision board together until late January because there it’s so much buzz around the new year and goal setting around the start of the new year…but how about waiting until the buzz around it starts to fade? I’ve been committed since 12/31/2022 but if you need some fresh inspiration for 2023…here you go!

Last year I made a digital vision board in Canva with about 8 vague photos and I never looked at it. This year, I got a huge poster board and nearly 100 very specific images of the things I want. VERY specific. In the short 3 weeks having this propped up in my office and seeing it each day, I’m already seeing the needle moving on these items! 

Have you created a vision board or set goals for 2023? What doe is mean to you? How are you achieving your goals this year? #goalsetting #visionboard

Porch pirates no more! I’m ordering some great s Porch pirates no more! I’m ordering some great stuff for hosting and gifting this year and the last thing I need is it walking off my front porch. This season, to make sure my new silverware and champagne flutes make it to my holiday table for hosting, I’m having all of my Amazon orders delivered to my garage thanks to my @myQconnect Smart Garage Control and @AmazonKey. It’s awesome to be able to watch my delivery live from the myQ app when I’m not home to make sure my packages are secure and locked up when it’s all done. Cheers!

#AirbnbPartner One of the things that gives me the #AirbnbPartner One of the things that gives me the most joy is creating beautiful spaces that I get to share with others! SWIPE for before and afters!

I love the design process of coming up with a design in my mind and working to make it a reality for a beautiful escape to share. One question we get a lot is “how can I find a place of my own and get started hosting?” Thanks to @airbnb I’m excited to share that @airbnb is introducing opportunities for renters through Airbnb-friendly apartments. You can break into hosting by renting an Airbnb-friendly apartment where you can live full-time and host part-time. I love how this creates financial opportunity for those who rent to start their hosting journey in an easy-to-start way!
