Spikes and Ruffles

5|48 Blouse, Bebe Jeans, Michael Kors Purse, Spike Cuff

I had so much fun yesterday! I had my girl from Seattle come over, we had a little sleepover party, did our nails, hair, and makeup. In the morning I made her chocolate crepes, we hung around home for a bit. I took her to lunch at The Burger Joint, I had the Ahi burger, and then I took her to get some frozen yogurt and my favorite shop. I love having my girls around me, they mean the world to me!

Polyvore Addict

Let me start off by saying that I have an addictive personality. If I love something I will have to have it all the time, I have chocolate banana nutella crepes every morning, when I find an article of clothing that fits great I buy it in every color. With all this being said, my girlfriend recently turned me on to Polyvore and I have been on every day creating sets and shopping. I love being able to design my own outfits and see them come together. Here are some sets that I have created....

How To: Five Strand Braid

With the summer being here I have been braiding my hair a lot, to keep it out of my face, and off my neck. I am always looking for new styles and techniques to try out. Earlier this week I tried out the five strand braid and LOVED it. I love how unique it looks and it makes me feel like Repunzel. I like to add  some sparkly pins and beads into my hair to give it that extra pizazz. I hope you enjoy the video and your hair looks fabulous.

My Week

 a cute manicure I did for my girlfriend 

Last week went by so quick that I am grateful I captured some pictures to remind me how magical it was. We went to my cousins graduation and I got the honor of doing her makeup and hair. My girlfriend came over and I dyed her hair and did her nails for her vacation this week. My daughter had her weekly play date. I got to hang out with one of my best friends and we went to lunch and had some Fro-Yo. Overall it was a wonderful week, I cannot wait to see what this week holds for us!

Orange-Red Pants and the Carnival

 Fade to Blue colored jeans, Forever 21 tank top, Bakers Wedges, Michael Kors Bag

This weekend was gorgeous! It had been 96 degrees for what seemed like forever, so 80 degree weather was more than welcomed. There was a fundraiser carnival going on in out town so we went to that. I am a sucker for candy apples, fried dough, fried oreos, just abut all the fair food. My daughter went on every ride over and over, she had so much fun and that made it so worth it. 

I have also been changing up my blog a bit, I wasn't completely in love with the name, so my girlfriend came over and we brainstormed all day. I can now say that I am very happy with my blog name and I feel that it describes my personality more.

Mint Peplum

 ASOS Mint Peplum Hem Skirt,

Personalized "Mrs.Kline" anklet, Forever 21 tank top, Baker Wedges

I love high waisted anything, skirts, shorts, jeans, pants. They accentuate your smallest part of your waist and make you look super skinny. My girlfriend introduced me to ASOS.com, where I found this gorgeous mint peplum high waisted skirt. I love the way it hugs my hips and makes me feel super girly with that added frill at the bottom.

Cruelty Free MakeUp Brushes

 

These are all the products that I want to buy in the next few months. Some of these are to replace old products that I am getting bored of while others are things that I have been eying for a while. I am most excited for the cruelty free animal brushes. I try to get things that are cruelty free if possible because I don't believe that animals should suffer for us. I am also looking for a new makeup brush cleaner, but I haven't found the right one yet.

Pinterest Project

Etsy

Mine

 

I love pinterest, I can find amazing things that I want to make in their DIY  section. I recently saw this piece of art, which is sold on etsy for $40 and I thought, I could make that. So I ran out to the store about bout a canvas for $4 and the felt for the flowers. The project took about 3 hours total, with taping the canvas, painting it, cutting the felt, gluing the petals together, and gluing the flowers to the canvas. I love this picture, and my daughter is so proud of her new piece of art in her room.

How To: Display Tickets to Movies, Shows, Games

Mine

Original

                       

I love having pictures hung up all around the house that reminds me of how I got to the place I am now. I have many pictures from our wedding, pictures of Alexis, and pictures from our every day life. I saw this idea on pinterest and thought it would be perfect in our house. My husband and I have been to many shows, games, movies. We have taken Alexis to zoos, aquariums, fairs, and movies. Before I saw this idea I had all our show stubs in our filing cabinet, now I can proudly display them and see it grow. The project cost me only $12, and that was for the frame, everything else I had. I could not be more happy with how the project came out.

Foodie Fridays: Baked Salmon with Roasted Potatoes and Asparagus

As a vegetarian I eat mostly fruits and veggies, however, I do eat fish about twice a month. When I decide to have fish its usually this dish. I experimented for a while before making this dish perfect. It is one of my husbands favorite dishes, and a dish that I make for him regularly. Its a healthy alternative to most dishes out there. I also make it for my girlfriends when they are over and the go gaga over it!
