Spring Lookbook 2013

Hello lovelies!


I've had several requests the past mont or so to do a spring fashion video. I'd really wanted to wait until it was actually feeling (and looking) like spring where I am, so I've been holding out. Last weekend I finally got around to it! I made my very first lookbook!


Keep in mind that I've not done one of these before. Having said that, it was a total blast. I'm thinking of doing at least on per season. I had so much fun rummaging through my closet an outing together some super springy outfits. I hope you all enjoy!

Spring Floral Manicure

Hello lovelies!
I love spring! It's the perfect time of year. What is there not to love? Sunny days, flowing dresses, and flowers everywhere... Even on your fingertips!

I was inspired by one of my favorite dishtowels. I know this is maybe an odd thing to be inspired by, but it's just so cute and so pretty. Of course adding in some polkadots, stripes and glitter didn't hurt at all.

Emerald Eyes Makeup

Hello, Lovelies!
I put together this easy St. Patty's Day look for daytime. Smudge some darker bronze in the outer corner and add some fabulous lashes for evening. I paired it is simple wavey hair and a bright green scarf to stay warm at the St. Patrick's Day parade.

Classic French Manicure

Hello, lovelies!
I've had a few requests on my Instagram from people asking my how I do my french manicure(s). I thought that I would throw together a quick and hopefully straightforward tutorial on how to achieve this classic look. Let me know if this is helpful!

Wet N Wild Liquid Lip Color

Hello, Lovelies!

This is another one of my first impression reviews. I figured that since my Rimmel BB review was so well received, I'd give you another one to ponder... Wet n Wild Liquid Lip Color.

Let me begin be telling you two things: {1} I, generally speaking, really like liquid lip colors. I love a good stain, gloss, or even occasionally NYX's matte lip creams. {2} Wet n Wild, although amazingly inexpensive, has some seriously awesome gems of products. That being said, this particular lippie is not one of them.

Giveback Giveaway

Hello lovelies!
I have a super exciting announcement to make... Over the weekend I passed the 1K mark of Instagram followers! I also have over 150 YouTube subscribers!

As you've probably figured out by now, I'm just about as happy as a clam...or maybe an oyster, since they make pearls. As a way to show my appreciation and give you all a big "thank you" for your continuing support, I've put together a little giveaway. I'm calling it my "giveback giveaway" because it is my way of giving a little to my supporters.

Lovebird Valentine Nails

Hi everyone! I was looking around for inspiration on a valentine manicure. I thought about the ever popular "LOVE" written across my nails. Too bad my handwriting isn't up for that task. Soooo, maybe hearts? A simple ombré look? Not today. I was in the pet shop getting my lovely dog some dinner, when I wondered by the lovebird cage.
They're soooo cute. Always sitting right by their partner and actually kissing! Ok. I know it might just be me pushing imaginary emotions onto the little guys, but they are pretty adorable... Anyhow. I snapped a pic of them and my hand was reflected in the glass. Et voila! A new manicure idea was born.

Rimmel London BB Cream

Rimmel’s new BB Cream Skin Perfecting Super Makeup has launched in the US. (Yippee!) I've most recently seen displays for this new Spring 2013 launch in Ulta. Thanks to Rimmel, I got to check this little baby out a few weeks early.
