Makeup Monday: Candy Nails

Hello Lovelies!


It's monday. Dreary, dreaded, drab monday. My solution?
CANDY NAILS! I fully believe in the power of great colors to lift your mood.
Last week was a whirlwind - I had 4 interviews (3 with the same company), and was offered a position. Thankfully, the hiring manager was an incredibly patient and thoughtful man, and told me to take the weekend to consider whether this opportunity was right for me. 
{ps - I'll post my interview outfits on Wednesday}
I spent the weekend trying to assess my feelings, praying, and chatting with good friends. I finally concluded that while I'd enjoy the job, I really feel that now is the best time to focus on my entrepreneurial endeavors.
Basically, I'm amping up my game. ;) And I needed awesome nails to go with...

Christmas/New Years Recap!

Darlings,
I had a whirlwind Christmas. :) Here is some photographic evidence:

I saw my brothers playing a great show - here's their new video! They are a featured SXSW artist this year. If you are in Austin for SXSW, GO SEE THEM! So good.

Wednesday Special: Gift Guide

Darlings!
With Christmas looming near, I wanted to help you all along in the last-minute gift scramble. 'Cause we all know you aren't finished yet. ;)

Let's go!

Your Sister:

Something pretty and fun! Yes! But she's also a serious business woman, you say? Hmm. How about a great looking ipad case so she can look fabulous and professional all at one.

Stella & Dot

$79

For your Best Friend:

She has great fashion sense. She loves going out with new friends. She is always on the go and forgets to take a second for herself. You can't always be there to party with her, so get her this locket:

 Etsy, $89

{and put a picture of you two in it. That way she is never without her bff.}

Your Niece:
She's adorable. She's a cool kid. She needs something unique, because that's how she rolls:

Chariee's Etsy Shop, $15

This plaid flower is so cute. She can wear it now, whether she's 6 or 16, and it will look fabulous.

More tomorrow!
xoxo,

Wardrobe Wendesday: New Hair!

Darlings, I did something new today.
I dyed my hair LIGHTER. I've never ever gone lighter. I'm always the girl with slightly-too-dark hair. ;)
But I wanted to change it up, so I took this photo to my Stylist:

My new stylist, Emily, is a rock star. She cut my hair last week, and I had such confidence in her that I let her do the unthinkable - bleach my pixie.

Just for reference, here's the Before:

And here's how it turned out:

Makeup Monday: Tribal Inspirations

Hello, Lovelies!

Today I am excited because my Boo is coming back from his 2-week shift in Alaska. Every time he comes home, I'm just overwhelmed with happiness. :) He is my best friend, my lover, my sweet husband, and my equal. He challenges me, and tells me I'm fancy. rocks.
As a result of my excitement, I went a little crazy with the makeup. :) Plus, I got some rad new earrings from Claires, so the whole look is very "Mysterious African Princess from some Vaguely Insensitive Movie from the 1930's." 


Here ya go:
