Why do I want to live in Kentucky?

So I can live with Mark Badgley and James Mischka on their ridiculously gorgeous horse farm! Their 1920's stone house sits on 15 acres and is really something to be desired.

Layers of tulle with a POP of black...

No Doubt!

I was beyond thrilled that I finally got to go and see No Doubt in concert last night. I had seen Gwen Stefani perform on her own before so I knew the show would be amazing. It was. The other incredible thing is how amazing Gwen always seems to look. Here are a few of my personal favorites...
