taking the red eye

been thinking of taking (and then posting) more instagram inspiration for my makeup, you guys. starting with this red eye. photo: the beauty model

crop lusting

the time of year has come where i want to (again) chop all of my growing-out hair off and (super short) crop it like it's hot. yup. photo: new hair now

bun and done

there are many, many days when i wake up and wish i had hair long enough to just twirl (it) around into a messy bun and be done.  photo: swandive

the long and short of it

so i am well on my way to growing out these exact kind of bangs and longer crop. should i continue to do so or just cut it all off?!? photo: just super

take a brow

about a gazillion years ago, i had my best friend tweeze + shape my brows pretty thin. but now i wanna marker them in. suuuuper thick. photo: radar

don't leave me high

as much as it pains me (and my poor li'l tummy) i will forever love me a jean waist that is super duper high/uncomfy, okay?  photo: imogene + willie

teddy to wear

maybe it was 'cause on my last shopping trip, my niece tried on a soft, furry teddy vest. because now i think all fuzzy toppers are best.  photo: polder

stay gold

sometimes an eye makeup calls for you to be not timid or classic in your application, but big and (kinda) bold. oh. and metallic gold. photo: models

embroider me

would someone like to tell me why i have such expensive taste when it comes to my feet and their embroidered sole mates?! photo: matches fashion

glass half full

i wonder if paco rabanne knows how much i wish i could afford to buy and wear gold glasses just like this (half of a gold) pair!  photo: dazed digital

crew member

i've got one little thing, itty bitty, i've got to remember when it comes to my wardrobe à la winter: i totally wanna be a j.crew member. photos: vogue

lady in red

now don't you go gettin' me wrong. no one knows how the color red should be layered, worn or put on more than li'l miss solange.  photo: refinery29

orange crush

i just never, ever in a million years thought I could ever love the color orange (especially on a coat so stripey and warm) this much. photo: style kick

mustard yaaaas

this cool chick's whole, complete, entire outfit makes me rethink my old rule of never, not ever wearing mustard yellow. um - hello! photo: hel looks

the green team

i have always wanted to be more eco-friendly and to join 'the green team.' do you think i could do it being checker-y? photo: mumbles and stumbles

true blue

i'm beginning to think everything looks better all sequiny. take this true blue sweater. sequins make it all the better.  photo: nick scaife photography

wine-o forever

maybe it's my tribute to the infamous tat on johnny depp or maybe it's because i want to wear an all purple outfit. photo: everything you love to hate

hotline bling

i thought this post title was somehow oh so appropriate and fitting for this beyond pretty bejeweled mask aka this hotline bling. photo: fashion files

cheek squad

anyone who knows, sees, meets me knows that i have long been a fan and geek of the rosy and oh so pink little apple'd cheek.  photo: sasha munaev

let it goat

any and everyone who watches both the walking aaand talking dead will understand this reference to tabitha the goat's head.  photo: jevgenia masks

the line's eye

even though it's a classic, you can get sorta sick of the cat-eye's little flick real quick. that's why i don't mind this new line's eye. photo: hay blog hay

lend me your ears

beyond beautiful freckles aside, i'm wanting to have way more than one earring reside in my ears again. whatcha think, friends?  photo: dark skinn'd
