Love this Look: New Monochromatic

Recently discovered Greg Kessler’s blog – Go Backstage and am loving the candid, behind-the-scenes photos. I absolutely love this look. It’s the combination of different colors within the same palette, from shoes to hair.

Older

So I did it. I got another year older. I also felt real special as my friends threw me a little fête (above – day & night) and my sweetheart helped me move (pictures to come).

A Holiday

We booked a trip to the beach! My first holiday with my wonderful beau. I can’t wait to put my feet in the sand. Much to come about outfit preparation…

For now, I’m just giddy and smiling about a week off and lots of sun/kisses/relaxation.

Below is where we are going!

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.

Feeling Dreamy

“you know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams”

I had a lovely weekend with my sweetheart. We realized we are officially old when we left the music festival early. I do believe we had heat exhaustion, but it was nice that we were on the same page…even if it was a rather lame one. Sometimes one only needs a single night away to realize the comforts of air conditioning and a clean bed or kisses from puppies and take-out.

Today it’s rainy. And it sounds like this outside…

I’m feeling dreamy and lethargic after spending 1/2 the weekend in extreme heat and the other 1/2 in extreme relaxation mode.

This would be nice…

As would this…

And wouldn’t we all love to have an office like this to get creative in? We are shifting cubes in my office and I am not looking forward to it. I try to be a person that embraces change, but sometimes it truly is hard, isn’t it? Even with the little things that aren’t of much importance…like where you sit or whom you sit by.

Feelings in Photos Friday

On the cusp of a weekend with my sweet, sweet beau in extremely warm weather listening to music incessantly.

I hope you enjoy this first weekend in June (one of the best months, in my opinion) no matter what you’re doing.

Oil

The freaking oil that is destroying the marshlands of Louisiana and wreaking havoc on the people there is realllllly cramping my style. For some reason, it makes me want to go back there even more. Yesterday, I stumbled upon these gorgeous photos by the fabulous Jose Villa of a honeymoon in New Orleans. It is SO chic, SO romantic…you must see for yourself!

A Beautiful Bird

I’m so proud of my sweet puppy who continues to grow and learn. It’s honestly hard to believe we almost lost her, she is so full of life. We enjoy her more every day. I had to share some of the latest photos of  “the Bird” as we call her.
