Blonde Ambition

I am not, nor will I ever be blonde. But I think that’s one of the reasons why I love the ultra-light, bombshell hair color. Kate Bosworth always looks delightful. She is one of few that can pull off the ultra-platinum. Reese Witherspoon also looks fabulous with really light locks.

Weekly Wish: gold lamé

Gold Lamé polish. Not lame at all, wouldn’t this polish be divine for end-of-summer soirées?. I adore gold lamé, I have a vintage gold lamé skirt passed down from my mama that I’m looking forward to busting out come fall.

…still loving Robin’s Egg/ Tiffany blue polish.

In my dressing room

As I’ve posted, I’m moving. It seems very far away (I haven’t packed) but it is actually fast approaching (two weeks). I found a sweet little bungalow in the downtown area of Fayetteville. It has a backyard and a porch swing and original wood floors. It’s rather small – the kitchen, the bathroom, the closets – but it will be just me living there with my puppies and visitors of course. Still, small bathroom & closet? What’s a fashion-conscious, jewelry-collecting, shoe-hoarder supposed to do? Light at the end of the tunnel: There is a second bedroom! I, without any hesitation, decided to make that room my dressing room. Aren’t those a lovely couple of words? It’s a small room, mind you, but I plan to make it as girly and artsy and feminine as possible. Can’t wait to post pics! For now, some inspiration…

Monday, Monday…so good to me.

Twas a good weekend. My life change that I alluded to a couple of weeks ago was actually just a diet and a move. I sat through a wedding and didn’t eat a thing (cake is my weakness). I’ve lost 10lbs! I found a new house right downtown that is accepting of my puppies, plus it’s adorable.

I’m going to see Inception tonight. My beau and I are probably going to go on vacation. I’m feeling super lucky and excited. Hope your week started off real nice.

Kinda want balayage highlights. Thoughts?

Girl Crush: Marisa Miller

Ditto for Victoria's Secret angel Marisa Miller ...

Last night, I watched (was forced to watch) the ESPYs. It wasn’t too bad, Seth Meyers really killed it. I’m not typically a fan of his on SNL, but kudos Seth. Anyway, the most captivating thing about the entire show was Marisa Miller. She NEVER looks bad, she doesn’t seem to age and her body is increds. Whether dressed up or barely dressed, MM is crush-worthy.

Silver Lining

Liquiline Blast Eyeliner

I don’t often blog about my work, although it does find its way in. But, the beauty “expert” that I’d like to be compels me to brag on Cover Girl‘s latest and greatest. The new CG LiquilineBlast Eyeliner is the best I have EVER TRIED. It goes on like liquid but can be sharpened with a pencil sharpener. I’m obsessed with it and own it in every shade (there are 6) plus I am NOT being paid to write this!

Reasons why:

I love brown liner but it never stays on my lids! This does! Look for Brown Blaze (Shade 420)

I love any beauty product that out-performs the price I pay for it. At WalMart, it’s under $8!

It’s waterproof and all the colors are very bold.
