Making a Girl Happy!

Making a Girl Happy!

Good evening! I had a pretty not-so-good-kinda day and, unfortunately, that is becoming more and more the norm these days. Now to not sound too much of a suzie-downer. That is not what I want to talk about, what I do want to talk about 

Chunky Dunker’s Night!

Sharing the Style!

Sharing the Style!

Good evening!

As you may remember, I have been looking into putting together some new looks for myself. I have been busy perusing some magazines, and I have come up with some tear sheets that I am pretty happy about!

I love the big curly hair, and the even bigger flower!

Again with big glamorous Hollywood style hair, and I am a sucker for cat-eyes!

Ok, so it is obvious that I have a thing for big hair and cat eyes!! Now if only I can figure out how to recreate the look on myself! Hmmmm…

I love this fun, feminine style!

Hello?? Wingtips anyone??? I need at least 3 pairs of these this Winter!

I love this boho hairstyle! Cute!!

I am also having a lot of fun playing with colorful eye makeup applications!

Simple, sweet, awesome hair accessories, I love the freshness of this look!

Cat eyes, and pig tails! Seriously??? Super-CHIC!!!

So after going through all these pics from my style-file clippings, I would sum up my dream style with adjectives like:

  • glamorous
  • bombshell
  • creative
  • ultra-feminine
  • diva-esque
  • dramatic
  • fun
  • sexy

Tell me, what do you think? ๐Ÿ˜‰

Have a FABULOUS evening!!! ๐Ÿ˜‰

 

Keeping the Momentum Going!

Keeping the Momentum Going!

Good evening! Here is a warning that this is going to be a quick post! The time change that happened yesterday was GREAT for making the weekend relaxing, but for my workday, it made it seem like it just draaaaaaged on forever!!! SHEESH!! I just 

I Love This Sunday!

I Love This Sunday!

Good evening! This has been such a COOL Sunday! We got an extra hour today with daylight savings time, and it has really made a HUGE difference in my attitude for the day!! I knew today was going to be the PERFECT kind of naked 

Getting Back In the Art Studio!

Getting Back In the Art Studio!

Good evening!

Yesterday there was a Christmas craft bazaar at my office, and I found myself for the second year in a row purchasing a bunch ofย  these really cool and funky hair flowers. I LOVE Them!!! Most of you may not know this, but I have a tendency to wear hair decorations in my hair A LOT! So anyway, it really got me inspired, “How hard would it be to make some of my own hair decorations??” Well, I couldn’t get the thought out of my head all day yesterday, so…..

This morning my sweetie and I got up early, went and had a lovely breakfast, and then I was on a mission. To go pick up some supplies to make myself some of my own hair decorations. What do you think of these? These were my first attempt at making these – they are not perfect, but I can tell I am going to have fun not making these and wearing these!

Can you believe that this started out as farmy chicken and hen fabric? I am soooo in love with how these look in my brunette hair!

I decided to try some red with black polka dots, one of my favorite fabrics!! and then why not add some buttons and feathers?

This one is going to go perfectly with my FAVORITE green coat!

Here is one more that I made with my farmy chicken and hen fabric!! I am going to attach this one to a headband! These were so much fun to make, and more time consuming then I expected them to be, but I know I will be making plenty more! I might even add some to an Etsy shop for sale! In the meantime, I am hoping to have some more time to play in my art studio again tomorrow!!! I will keep you posted on what else I am able to come up with! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Have a FABULOUS evening! ;-)

Thank Goodness It Is Friday!

Thank Goodness It Is Friday!

Good evening! This Friday just could not get here any faster! But here it is, and I am just soooo thankful for a weekend off!! Today, I unintentionally gave myself a little jolt, and that was because, out of the blue, I signed myself and 

Wanting More!

Wanting More!

Good evening! Life is good, but do you ever get the feeling that there has to be something more? More to life than what you are living? This has been the same revolving thought in my head for quite some time now. This can’t be 

Beautiful Wednesday!

Beautiful Wednesday!

Good evening!

Where do I begin? Well, I told you a few days ago that I was on the hunt for me new look!! The hunt is still on, and today I made a point to stop at Sally Beauty Supply and pick up a couple of necessities!!

I made sure to pick up another pair of lashes – I have been wearing a different pair every day for the past 3 days, which has been a lot of fun. It is really cool to see how different people react to them, most people don’t know what is different, but they can’t stop staring!! HEE! HEE! HEE!! ๐Ÿ˜‰

I also got a new boar bristle teasing comb, to help me get some body in my baby-fine hair!! Thank you, Dawn, for that tip!!

I got a container of 300 bobby pins – I may NEVER need to buy new ones again, but then again – I already have a large container floating around SOMEWHERE, and it was because I could not find them that I had to make the stop to Sally’s in the first place. So, I can cross those off of my list now.

Oh, and something, that for some reason didn’t make it into this pic – I am not sure what I was thinking, but I did get a package of clear, easy slip mini hair bands for small pony tails, and braids. I am not sure why I didn’t have any of these, but I am VERY glad that I do now!!

I was very excited to get home from work today, and after I made dinner for my sweetie and I, I watched a few hair tutorials on YouTube!! As soon as I pic a few of my favorites, I will make a point to share some of them with you!! I did find one site that shared a TON of fun hair ideas, and right now I am really looking for some creative ideas! My hair is very thin and mousy, and after my last haircut where I asked for a different kind of layered cut – I have been fighting with my hair like a fiend!!! So, at this point, any help I can get is VERY WELL RECEIVED!! ๐Ÿ˜‰

What else, well, ok maybe not a lot of anything else, but life really is good!! My official plan for this evening, is to give my sweet Fay girl a bath, and then go get some reading done before bed! (I know my life is terribly exciting, right???) LOL! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Have a FABULOUS evening!!! ๐Ÿ˜‰

OH CRAP!! I just realized that it is Wednesday , Chunky Dunker night, and I TOTALLY FORGOT!!! What does that say about me! Sheesh!!! ๐Ÿ˜‰ Ok, girls! I owe you!!! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Randomness Tuesday!

Randomness Tuesday!

Good evening! To say I am having a GREAT day is an understatement! There is not really one thing I can put my finger on that has made it a great day, but really a bunch of little things that have just really made me
