Fringe

Generally I'm pretty pleased living life bangs-less but every now & then Brigitte Bardot creeps into my subconscious & I find myself craving serious fringe. Something devil-may-care & moody to hind behind starts to feel just right once winter rolls around. Do you guys have bangs? Want 'em? Hate 'em? Damn you Bardot, you temptress!

I'm pretty psyched about this weekend's "super moon." We're set to have the biggest full moon of the year this Saturday night. Pretty cool, right? Read more about it here. image via Flikr

Really craving a pair of vintage sneaks. Reebok high tops, please.

Mmmm. Pan Roasted Baby Artichokes! I made these babes for supper last night & couldn't recommend them more.

A big floppy hat for early summer sun.

It's so hard to argue with pretty packaging. 

Who Knew?: Scotch tape!

I guess it's kind of obvious, but I never thought of using scotch tape for nail art! This is seriously going to up my game. Brichbox has a great rundown of how to get the look.

A handy SXSW survival guide to get you through the rest of the week.

Now if only my flyer miles would wrack up a bit quicker so I could take an NYC thrift trip.

A new favorite time killer: Classic Film Scans

Marilyn Monroe and Yves Montand, Jeanne Moreau and George Hamilton, Elvis Presley and Delores Del Rio

A weekend DIY: Color Block Coiled Rope Basket

Let's try blue lashes! So pretty.

Who knew?: Hair Rings

What a cool idea, right? Pretty little rings - in gold & silver -  to wind in your hair however you like. Clip them in to tousled waves, fishtail braids, a messy bun, go nuts! Seems like such a delicate, romantic way to dress up an otherwise ordinary doo. That spine-y earring is another story all together...

Red or pink?

I've always reached for a bright orange-red when I was to dress it up a bit but lately I'm finding myself lusting after a killer bright pink. What's your favorite swipe of color?

Braid-y Bunch

When it's this hot out (103° yuck!) it's pretty tough to your hair resembling anything presentable. I've worn mine up in a top-knot almost daily since we started hitting the hundreds hard. It's been 70+ days of over 100° heat! I guess that's par for the course in Texas. Lately I've been playing around with braids. I'd love to try some of these above (French braid bun!)

Staple: The Red Lip

Sometimes a pop of red is all you need.

Tip Top

I love a loose top knot. Something so chic devil-may-care about it.

Sunshine

Love this sunny sleepy look. Just gorgeous.

Platinum

It's pretty bold to go platinum icy blond, but I think Michelle Williams' new Marilyn locks look fantastic. What do you think? Are you gutsy enough for platinum? Pretty sure I'm not, but leopard and lace, that's a look I can get behind.
