You Can Leave Your Hat On

 

No one loves a good hat party more than me. I probably have close to 30…problem? Tell it to the judge!

How to: The Carrie Bradshaw Bun

Obsessed. I’m not sure how willing I am to tease like crazy but perhaps…I’m love-love-loving this tutorial from BJonesStyle.

Style Inspiration (Cheryl Ladd in Charlie’s Angels)

I recently found myself watching a Charlie’s Angels (the original) episode. I was shocked by the bad acting and the amazing fashion! Mostly the fashion.Raz I was particularly impressed by Cheryl Ladd. I want to recreate every single outfit of hers. I’m slightly obsessed. The 70s fashion is totally applicable to today. Don’t you think? My favorite things: her oversized sunglasses, her hair and her high-waisted pants.

It’s Spring! What now?

fredflare.com... WE LOVE SPRING

Spring has sprung – thankfully – and it’s time to reflect it in our clothes, beauty regimens and attitudes. I’m even thinking of packing up my winter clothes to lift my spirits.

What is necessary for me to greet Spring with open arms? (You may be asking yourself) So…here is what I suggest you do. Click the pictures for links.

FIND (or purchase):  a leather/pleather jacket and/or a pashmina or wrap for chilly nights and skimpy dresses, neutral heels to go with anything

BUY FOR YOURSELF: Face: bronzer Body: a yummy exfoliating scrub Home: fresh flowers

Bronzing PowderBlood Orange+White Pepper Sugar Scrubpink-peonies-ad

DO: use cuticle oil to get your fingers pretty for the warmer months, polish for your toes so you won’t hesitate to grab your open-toed platforms

Healing Eucalyptus Cuticle OilEssie

LISTEN:  My current go-to songs: Rolling in the deep – Adele (Jamie xx remix), Howlin’ for you – The Black Keys, Baby Roulette – Chiddy Bang

TRY: Get an airbrush tan. I recently did and it changed my life. If you’re in Fayetteville call Glo. From 4-7 on Fridays, it’s 1/2 off.
