Style Crush: Gemma

Gemma Ward is probably one of my most favorite models. She is so pretty and completely versatile. The girl could wear a paperbag and still look adorable {in my opinion}.

Project Restyle


This year I will be taking part in Elsie and Rachel's fabulous Project Restyle. This project is pretty exciting and I'm just in love with the idea of taking something old and dull and turning it into something pretty and useful^_^ You can get more info here. I'll share posts of my projects and you can feel free to leave links to some of yours. I think my first project will be decorations for my room! I can't wait to redecorate when I get back on campus.

goals goals goals

So I've decided to do what I always do every year and make a list of goals for the New Year. Unfortunately, I don't think I've been as productive in completing them in the past years {or at least not as much as I'd like to be} SO this year I making myself a promise to complete them. I'll share a peek with you once I write them all down^_^
I'm also planning on getting a new journal. As if I need another one, hehe. I just love journals and I get bored with them after awhile. I like fresh starts. Are you that way? Like when I start a new year, I want a new one, or if I start a new project, I want a new one, I just can't help myself! 
What are some of your goals for the new year?? 
Oh! And I ran across this super cute binder idea from Gussy Sews and I think I MUST do this! I have a notebook for each of these and I thinking putting them all in one place is just genius.

Holiday Highlights.

Well I've been out of town for the last few days and have yet to sit down and share any pictures or adventures. SO I thought I'd do one big post of some highlights from the holidays...
The Mr. and I went on a road trip to Albuquerque to visit his aunt and uncle^_^
I've had lots of puppy cuddles from miss Molly {my mom's dog}
This is lady.. She's a pretty dog.
I got bored on the roadtrip...
I tried a shot of wheat grass from our local smoothie shop. 
I must admit, I didn't hate it.
This is one of my pretty Christmas presents. I've been using it non stop.
I got to spend time with my big brother!!

That's all for now... I'll be posting lots more once I get home. I'll also re-open the shop and let y'all in on what's coming up for this year!! ^_^
Hope your Christmas was merry and bright!

What's In My Makeup Bag

I thought it would be fun to do a spin on the regular "What's in my bag" post and show you what's in my makeup bag!
First, I use Sonia Kashuk brushes. I really like them because they're pretty, they've lasted a long time and they're so soft^_^
All of my makeup is Bare Minerals. I am a HUGE advocate of this makeup. I used to use liquid and actually tried a lot of different types (even the expensive stuff) and I have never come across anything better than BM. It's incredible. I love the flawless finish, I love that it's not heavy and I love that it gives such a natural look. 
I use Medium Beige foundation, Warmth (as blush) and Pure Radiance (for shimmer:)
For my eyes...
I discovered the best liquid eyeliner; it's by Loreal and it's called Lineur Intense. The reason I love it so much is that  it's a felt tip! I've tried maaany different types of eyeliners {liquid, gel, pencil, powder...} I think I like this one best because it's so precise. Next is my mascara. I go through a different mascara every time one dries up. I have yet to find one that I'm willing to stand by. This Lash Accelerator one isn't too bad though! As far as eyeshadow, I have a cute collection of some pretty glam colors by Sonia Kashuk. I rarely use eyeshadow, but when I do, I love using these fun shimmery ones^_^ Lastly is the lipgloss. I love love Buxom lipgloss! It's the best!! I use 'Dolly'

And that's my makeup! Hope that was informative and fun! :)

Style Crush: Olsen

It's true; I'm a closet Olsen fan. I just love their insane style. It's mostly boho, but sometimes chic and I think they could pull off pretty much anything in my opinion...
