{ All I wore on my face today was tinted moisturizer. This is one of about a dozen of my digital makeovers with Makeup Genius. }
You guys, I haven’t gotten any work done for the last hour because I’ve been playing with L’Oreal’s new iOS app, Makeup Genius. It is blowing my mind.
I read about it on Who What Wear this afternoon, then promptly downloaded it {for free} from the app store.
Let’s rewind…
Does anyone remember the old PC software that let you “try on” hairstyles? You scanned a photo of your face into the program — you know, with a big ol’ digital scanner — and pasted not-so-realistic renderings of every imaginable cut and color onto your head, so you could make an informed decision before heading to your stylist for a hot pink mohawk. Ringing any bells? My mom and I had that software —…

Happy Thursday y’all! After the trip to New York I am LOVING white. I am usually a color girl but I am loving this crisp neutral pallet. You can easily add a pop of your favorite color or make a statement by going ALL white. You can even mix white with winter white and it looks fabulous! Here are some of the current things I am lusting after!
Cotton Eyelet Spaghetti Strap Romper [Loft]- Rompers are all the rage and a great way to stay cool this summer. I love the simplicity of this white number.
Amanda Logo Clutch [Tory Burch]- Great for an evening out and a classic piece!
Embellished Perfect Button Down [Ann Taylor]- The name says it all! Such a fun twist on a classic piece.
Peacock Cluster Necklace [Ann Taylor]- This great necklace is embellished and I love me some SPARKLE! Would go great with so many different outfits!
Floral Jacquard Jacket [Loft]- The structure of this jack is fabulous! Again another versatile piece that you should have in your wardrobe!
Mirror Embellished Top [Ann Taylor]- This blouse is so versatile and fun! You can dress it up with a skirt and blazer or down with a pair of skinnies…. Also, will keep you cool in the HOT summer.
Thea Chain Should Slouchy Tote [Tory Burch]- I love the structure of this bag with the hint of fun in the tassel! I have been obsessed with tassels lately so of course this was a pick for me!
Bubble Stretch Bracelet [Ann Taylor]- I love the fact this bracelet is stretch and not a bangle. I have such small wrist that bangles tend to fall right off my hand! Love the gold and white contrast and would go great with so many outfits.
Striped Organza Skirt [Ann Taylor]- Y’all this skirt is EVERYTHING. I have been ogling it since i saw it in a window display in NY. So fun yet chic at the same time.
What is your favorite trend right now? Do you have a staple white piece that you LOVE?
It is that time again to update the good ole #100days of happiness! After this adventure ends I will pick back up on more unique posts!
Over the weekend my oldest friend came to town for a visit! I have known Kate for over 21 years… sheeeeeeesh! You should follow her blog Prairie Yuppie! She owns a ridiculously cute boutique in Stillwater, OK and competes in beauty pageants! While she was here we ventured around Fort Worth, and went to the Colonial! The quote below is our friendship… we could sit for hours and not say anything and be comfortable…. BUT lord knows we can chats each others heads off too!
True Friendship comes when the silence between two people is comfortable- David Tyson Gentry
Colonial was so fun! We had access to a few tents and the weather was perfect! We got to spend time with old friends and new friends and it was FABULOUS!
Belli [Facewash]- No, I am not pregnant but I have been having TERRIBLE breakouts but I don’t want to start medicine or anything ridiculously harsh on my skin. SO I have been searching for things that will help my face. I LOVE the philosophy clear line but wanted to try something new. I found rave reviews for this from NON pregnant people so I thought I would give it a whirl! And I LOVE it. Doesn’t smell and really gives you the fresh and clean feel! It really has reduced my break outs… right now I only have one pimple…. a month ago i had so many I couldn’t even count them all!
Cherry Coke Zero is a serious problem I have. I love it and it really does help curb my coke cravings especially in the summer when I crave it even more! Cue Rascal Flatts singing Mayberry. I don’t drink it everyday but I like having it around when I am have a sweet craving! SO YUMMY!
Kate and I decided to treat Mark to homemade breakfast after he put up with us hung out with us all weekend. Omelets and bacon… can’t.beat.that.
Also, I have gotten to take advantage of working from home and some amazing weather by laying out with my laptop in hand! I LOVE it! Stay tuned for a blog post about the highs and lows of working from home! Should be funny…. at least for me.
Hope y’all had a fabulous weekend!
Well now that busy season is over we actually get to enjoy spending time together during the week! We went and enjoyed one of our favorite wine bars called Winslow’s. I enjoyed my Sangria on the patio! Bonus that they also have amazing food! Their mac and cheese… to die for.
To continue enjoying the great weekend weather we went to a concert! Prophets and Outlaws [Formally the Matt Boggs Band] was playing and we used to watch them in college! Loved their performance and enjoyed great company!
A chance to eat at one a my favorite Mexican restaurants and getting to enjoy the beautiful weather on the patio is amazing. Bonus was getting to enjoy the Corona Light… YUM!
Here is a daily double for you! I had some kale that I purchased to use in my smoothies. It is hard to use it up quick enough before it goes bad. Thus, in came Pinterest. I LOVE salt and vinegar chips so I found a recipe on there but I didn’t have red wine vinegar (only had white.) So I made a few tweaks (story of my life when I cook/bake). Here is the recipe below.
Several handfuls of Kale.
1 TBS Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 TBS White Wine Vinegar (Distilled)
1/2 TBS Balsamic Vinegar
Salt
Preheat over to 350 degrees. Clean and dry Kale. In a mixing bowl add oil and vinegars. Mix in Kale thoroughly. Spread out on baking sheet. Salt to taste… I LOVE sale but it does go a long way so be mindful of that!Cook for approximately 15mins (until it begins to brown).
Love how it tastes! It will never replace my kettle chips but flavor is good. I think Kale taste (and smells) and little like broccoli but with a different texture but it is certainly yummy and MUCH better for my body than the kettle chips. What is your favorite Kale recipe?
WIth the weather warming up, I made a purchase of one of my favorite warm weather drinks! SANGRIA…. I have been drinking this brand since college and I still love it. The perfect sweet treat!
Ya’ll I know I am WAY behind on the Kendra Scott thing but I am obsessed with the earrings below! I have always liked the jewelry but kind of brushed it off. However, I have been eyeing these for months! Plus, no matter what your size earrings ALWAYS fit!
