Makeup Monday: Simplicity+headbands

Darlings,
I want to do a give you a little taste of one of my favorite artists. Julie Jack is also one of my best friends - Boo and her boo are bff's, and we all 4 moved to Portland together! She is an amazing artist, and happens to be good at making anything and everything cute. 
She makes these AMAZING headbands, which I especially love now that I have short hair. 
Here is the one that I just bought from her etsy store:

My makeup for the day was, as you can see, purply and soft. Perfect for a rainy day with precious accessories.




Do yourself a favor and check out Julie's website here.


I hope your week is off to a lovely start!

Wardrobe Wednesday: Rolling racks

Darlings,


In the new house, we have about 1 foot of hanging space. We bought a rolling rack from target, and this is our current situation. Don't laugh.

Jealous? Thought so.

Wowza - absence makes you miss me?

Darlings,
It has been a busy busy month. First off, my honey took me to NYC to visit my 2 best friends for a week. It was wonderful, and the outfits I chose were spot-on. Thank goodness. ;)
Then, we came home and packed up our house in Tyler. All of it.
Then, we were in Austin for 2 weeks, staying with about 5 different people, waiting to move.
Then, we got in the car and drove from Austin to Albequerque to Flagstaff to Salt Lake City to Boise to PORTLAND.
Now, we live in Portland... but not in our own house yet. We are staying with some friends of our friend's parents for a week.
Then, we move into our place on Sunday. For a 3 month lease. :) Then we move again... hahah


So here's a little taste of what fashion has been for the last month or so:


Ombre:

 It was super fun, but I was growing weary of my long hair...

We went to a rooftop wig party, and I wore this silly little number....

which made me think - maybe I can do short?

We really enjoyed shopping. I got this whole outfit from urban Outfitters. :)

When I got home, I kept thinking about the hair thing...

I decided to cut it all off and donate to Locks of Love!

I have NEVER had hair this short. It feels fun. Haha, dude... I can't believe I did it. But I love it.

I'll become more regular again (in every way, but most specifically blogging) next week once I have a home. 

kisses&hugs,

Monochrome comfort - packing for an unknown land

Darlings,
Turns out, Boo is taking me on a surprise trip for my birthday! Woohoo! So excited. 
I am trying to pack, but he won't tell me ANY details - all I know is the temp is "between 70-90" and he's not saying anything else...
I am, of course, turning to Polyvore.com to help me. Here's an idea i've just been playing with.

I have all these items, or items similar to them. I can recreate this outfit pretty easily, and I think it will be good for if we go to a city...
I'll work on other "destinations" next.
Have you ever done this? Totally blind packing is hilarious.

Minimalism - Dresses & Jeans

Darlings.
Ok, I have met with about a hundred people about craigslist stuff, and my house is full of boxes. omg. :)
I am still in the process of eliminating  LOTS of stuff from our home, which feels good. Here is MORE of the base-line on the closet. 

OMG. Who has this many dresses? And so few pants? I've really gotta work on this...


Have you ever done a full visual inventory of you closet? I'd love to know!
