Bronze Bombshell

May 16, 2012

As Spring slips into Summer I carted out my favorite seasonal makeup tool. It’s bronzer ladies!!! I like it year round but at this time of year I use bronzer with reckless abandon. Even when my skin has actually been kissed by the sun, I add bronzer to amplify the look and I’m a total sucker for one that has flecks of gold. The great thing about bronzers is that you can find them in a variety of tones (light/medium/dark), finishes (matte/shimmer) and price points.  Some are listed below…

A Love Note

May 9, 2012

Dear You-

From the moment I was born you loved me. And before that, when I was an unknown, you adored me, hoped for me, and you prayed for me. You showed me the way when I was a little girl. You stood out front when I needed refuge, beside me when I needed support, and behind me when I needed courage.

Hello my lovelies…no time for blue Mondays here, so if you’re having one, commit to changing it with a positive attitude now! At some point Sunday afternoon my son exclaimed, “The weekend should be three days!”  I couldn’t help but wonder when we start to feel that way. At what age do we begin to take notice how fast time flies. Doing my part to make the most of it, my weekend was filled with family & fun.

To the Max!

May 2, 2012

One of my go to looks last Summer and one I’ll certainly be rocking again in the coming months is the maxi dress. Whether I’m going about the business of running errands, lunching with the girls, or entertaining at home…the versatility of a maxi dress knows no bounds! And whats more, it’s flowing almost ethereal nature can be ever so effective at minimizing pesky tummy issues (that alone makes the dress worth its weight in gold, right?).

Candid Shots

Apr 30, 2012

These are a few candids from a recent night out. Most of the shots are close up & personal so I didn’t have the goods to give you an outfit post. We went to support a local artist at a great Ghanaian restaurant called Rahama.

An “It” Girl Always…

Apr 25, 2012

I’ve often engaged in conversation with girlfriends about etiquette. Not just good manners, which is where your mind typically goes when you hear the word etiquette, but also etiquette around style, makeup, social decorum and generally when too much is too much! In my book it’s really what separates the “It” Girls from all the rest.
