Classic(al) Beauty—On Morning Playlists

12:16 PM
I'm a firm believer in the idea that how you start your morning will set the mood for your whole day. That's not to say that things can't change after that, of course, but I think that if you set aside time in the morning to let yourself breathe and relax, you'll be more relaxed throughout the course of the day. So, recently,...

Gentle Reminders

9:44 PM
We live in such a busy, distracted world. Very often, humans can get so caught up in themselves that they can end up having a hard time seeing outside of that. Not to mention, so many strange social norms are just ingrained in our culture now, that we don't even give most of them a second thought. I think we can all use...

Cheetah Girl

Oh, Spring, with your ever-fluctuating weather. Hot one day, cold the next. Get it together, Mother Nature. The warm days are nice, though, because then I get to wear things like this. Both of these pieces were thrifted, which is the stuff I do like. The shirt is obviously pretty sheer, so I'm wearing a bustier/bralette contraption under it—and, if you've never worn...

5:14 PM
I've been feeling more nostalgic than usual for childhood lately. I think maybe it's the weather. When it starts getting warmer, I always think of some of the most fun times from when I was growing up; running around outside with our puppies, playing pretend with friends for hours, rolling down tall hills over and over until we were dizzy, riding bikes in...

2:27 PM

So, without further ado, here are ten random and completely useless facts about me. 1.) I get way too into things. I'm that person...

Spring Pastels: A Makeup Tutorial

9:56 AM
As soon as I came up with this look, I could just hear Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada: "[Pastels]? For Spring? ...Groundbreaking." Because, really? Of course, bright colors and florals for Spring. Of course. Okay, but, so what if we recycle the same schemes? That's how beauty and fashion work, isn't it? Anyway! I know we're a few days past Easter now,...

Mood Board #1

8:44 PM
I'd had the idea to make a post like this for awhile—making a collage of photos that represent your feelings in a more tangible way—but I didn't really know what that was, or what to call it. I have a tumblr tag dedicated to photos like this, a pinterest board, even, but I had no idea what to call it in a blog...
