Although it doesn’t always come naturally, I think we should all try to enjoy being who we are everyday.

It’s Spring! What now?
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
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
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.

The Face of Mugler
You may recognize Rick Genest (aka Zombie boy) from Lady Gaga’s “Born this way” video. He is completely tattooed and gaining recognition in the fashion world. Nicola Formichetti selected him to be the face of Mugler and even paid his fines after it was revealed that he was homeless and sleeping on the street. I think he has a very interesting look and obviously brings out the tailoring in the proper suits. What do you think?

Bridal Inspiration {Mother of the Bride}
My mother and my future mother-in-law are very attractive ladies and at this early juncture, seem to love each other. They’ve been discussing together what to wear to our nuptials. They don’t want to dress alike but want to compliment each other. So many of the “mother of the bride” dress categories I see on sites like Dillards, Nordstorms and Macy’s are sooo not something that would make a MOB feel beautiful. I know that my mothers started dieting long before I did, so they will and they should look their best. And as an Southern girl knows, it’s their time to shine too. While I know they will unlikely be purchasing from Net-A-Porter, that site does such a lovely job of recommending styles that an actual beautiful mother of the bride would want to where. Therefore they are a good place to start for inspiration. A question I have for you, dear readers, can a MOB wear black?

Anthropologie Swim
I figure if I post enough/look at enough swimsuits, it could only further me on my pursuit of honeymoon shape. xo
