e.l.f; Tis the Season for Gifts, ya'll!

No, I'm not talking about the hilarious Will Farrell flick, but instead the awesome line of products from e.l.f (eyes.lips.face.) Everything is $1. yes, $1 folks! And even better, they are starting to sell sets of lip glosses, fake eyelashes (love me some!), shadows and brushes at Target.
Gimme gimme more!

Inspire Me

Visuals that come to mind when I'm needing some motivation and re-energizing are from two of my favorite places in the world : Australia and Portland. Both so different yet display some of the most beautiful arrays of colors I've seen.

The Australian seas and the fall leaves of Portland...

And then I ran across this photo from Fashionation and I am dying over the combination of these colors and creativity! Wow.

Tis the season for some inspiration, I should say...
XO,

To My Beautiful Mother...

{1974..or..1975}

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY
to the most beautiful woman in my life...my mother!
Charming, smart, feisty and incredibly self-sacrificing,
I don't know where I would be or what I would do without her.
She is forever my inspiration.
You are ageless, mamma!

"All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother."
-- Abraham Lincoln

Here's to another year...loads of smooches to you!

With my deepest love

Blooms Day

{fashionation}

In such blistery weather (hello, WIND!), a girl can't help but desire the comfiest and coziest items to amp up a somewhat dull winter outfit.

I am fixated on the whole crocheted, knitted, oversized beanie hat look. Really, it is my save the hair, no time to style, haven't washed in days, go-to method.

But as I perused Forever21 this weekend for some cheap finds, I spotted a young lady with the most adorable mango colored crocheted beanie with a flower rosette. OK, too cute!
Alas, not to be found at Forever.

But for those who don't want the whole beanie look, I've found another fabulous beauty find from Anthropologie that is sure to inspire! Plus, another added bonus besides a killer look is the warmth for your ears!

Blustery Bloom Headwrap, $24

Wear with crazy curls, a sweet ballerina bun, or slick straight locks.

Lovely!

Cat Got Your Tongue?

Although she's pretty cheese factor on the glorious "So You Think You Can Dance?", I still think she has some killer style, stunning beauty and legs for days. Watch her this season for some outrageous beauty looks!

TGIF...I need a cocktail ;)
