the art of hair...

so far beauty school has gone a little like this... fingerwaves... pin curls... fingerwaves and pincurls... and a whole lot of brushing...

This morning, I learned how to do a 5 strand braid thanks to this video {via my friend, Rachel's pinterest} it turned out to be the perfect backdrop for a little color-pop-earring. I paired that with my neutral, everyday necklaces {they haven't come off in quite a while}... and a... Continue reading

Lila's third birthday is a week away! I love sending a handmade paper invite for special parties, especially birthdays. Some juicy colors, an envelope liner, and a little attention to detail can take a small budget a long way. L is getting so excited for her big day {re: talking... Continue reading
