Dreaming of Italy.

Right now I am digging the fishtail braid. I've always been a pretty big fan of braids... small braids, big braids, loose messy braids, across the crown of your head in an updo braids, I really love them all. But lately, I have been super obsessed with the fishtail. There's just something about it that really catches the eye. It can totally transform a whole look, casual during the day or chic at night... and always fun. Love it.

Welcoming Monday...

Planning on taking Kate Spade's advice and "living colorfully" on this lovely, spring Monday morning... but oh, how I wish it was still the weekend.

Happy (Last Formal of College) Weekend.

Well, it's April 1st and that can only mean one thing... tomorrow is my last my sorority formal ever, and while I should be busy coming up with practical jokes to play on everyone that walks by, all I can do is begin to get a little sentimental about tomorrow. It's definitely hard to believe that the last semester ever is really drawing to an end... BUT my friends and I have decided that this will be the best formal yet. I can't wait to spend an evening with my best friends getting my grind on.

Happy Weekend.

Super Safari.

An African Safari is definitely up on my list of things to do and South Africa along with the list of places to go. The idea of seeing such incredible animals (that are normally only seen in cages at the zoo) in their natural environment is enchanting to me. There's nothing more that I would love then riding around in an open Jeep with my Nikon. And of course I would have to dress the part...

SO naturally when the Safari Trend from Spring '08 was such a hit, I was smitten. I love the idea of khakis, olive greens, whites, and mustard hues a long with big hats and large buttons. Recently I've gotten really excited as Safari fashion is gently sneaking it's way back in this year as a companion to it's fashion sibling- Tribal wear. As a flashback, i posted some of my favorite Spring '08 runway looks that I think did a great job representing the City Safari look. The most recent issue of InStyle did an article about City Safari, so I wouldn't be surprised if these looks begin to make an even greater comeback.

Bare Minerals just released their new skin care line a couple of weeks ago. Of course, my mom and I ordered it right away to see if it would be as great as the make up. It's made from a natural raremineral active soil complex. So far, i've been thoroughly impressed... my skin is definitely smoother and has an all over better glow. Time will tell if it becomes as big of a hit as its' counterpart make up line... but for right now, i'd definitely give it 5 stars.
