Keeping it Simple at Bedford Springs {aka Spa Nirvana}

Bedford Springs is one of the happiest places on earth. It's like grown-up Disneyworld with no lines. A spa nirvana. An oasis from which you may never want to return...With a beautiful golf course, if you like that sort of thing.

An Omni property since 2007, Bedford Springs Resort is located in the Allegheny Mountains of south Pennsylvania.  In 1984, the resort was designated a National Historic Landmark.

Bedford's eight natural springs feed a beautiful indoor pool and spa. Anyone staying at the hotel can use the heated pool, but you have to book an appointment for one of their spa services to get the full Bedford experience. And believe me, it's worth it.

I first visited the property on a anniversary trip with my husband in February on the recommendation of a friend, and even without the outdoor pool, I was smitten by the first day. I can guarantee that if you pay this place a visit in any season, you won't be disappointed. And just to be clear, Omni is not paying me to say this stuff-- I just love the place that much.

Wearing my Radiant Cosmetics lipstick and my Love, Cortnie clutch. The rest of the look is one that each one of you can re-create with your favorite jeans, a black t-shirt, and nude heels. Classic, simple, relaxed. ;)

Leopard = Clutch {Eco-friendly Accessories}

I finally took my Love, Cortnie clutch out for a spin and I love it! I actually won it at a charity event hosted by Eden of Garden of Glam and Meaghan of District Sparkle to benefit Safer Shores, an organization that works to reduce trauma and promote healing for children who are victims of abuse. The event was a huge success and raised a lot of money for a very important cause, and I'm so proud of these two ladies for pulling it off.

I can report that my new leopard clutch is roomy enough to fit my wallet, phone, some lipstick, and my "real" camera (I use a Lumix GH3). If you're in the market for a mid-size clutch, there are sooo many to choose from, in colors and patterns that would suit a variety of styles and preferences.

I also want to highlight the story behind the necklace I am wearing. Due to a chance meeting in her local grocery store, the company owner now works alongside women in her community who are recovering from experiences of addiction, trafficking, and prostitution. Together they make each piece by hand. Check out Miriam Designs to see more.
