I was browsing Elle Decor's site the other day and absolutely fell in love with this shot below. I'm obsessed with the wall color and love the layering she did with the other pieces. It's Susan Hable's, of Hable Construction fabric, home in Athens, GA. It's the perfect balance of a house being pretty without taking itself too seriously. It's just a feel-good place so I wanted to share. Enjoy!
I j'adore me some good YouTube beauty vids. My favorite one of all time is this total fail. Gets me every time. I literally go into the crying/wheezing laugh. Switching gears, I've gotten some of my favorite beauty tips and tricks from watching these clips and I refer to them all the time. Here are my go-to beauty channels.
Melmphs is one of my favorites for drugstore tutorials. Don't get me wrong-- I'm the first to recommend NARS, Chanel, or Laura Mercier but some days a girl just needs an $8 tube of mascara to get the job done. This is the place for that. Plus, she brings some serious Southernness.
Glam. Central. If you want super hot looks for parties or girls' night out this should be your go-to. She does lots of celeb tutorials but I really love that she can pull of a full face of makeup without it looking overdone. Probably too much for a daytime look, but perfect for evening.
Lisa Eldridge is a professional makeup artist in the UK and does such amazing, simple looks. Nothing is every overdone but it's always flawless. If you're a less is more kind of girl, this is your channel. Love all of her videos! She knows her stuff. And her accent doesn't hurt either.
I try not to play favorites, but I can't help but love this one the most! For a number of reasons. First of all, I know Trisha personally and she's just as gorgeous inside as she is out. I love that she does hair and makeup tips. Sometimes I like general beauty channels rather than just makeup. But my favorite is her Real Talk Tuesday video series. She is gets what it means to be beautiful on the inside and express it through makeup. Girl after my own heart.
Friends, you'll have to bear with me. My shopping obsessions and work assignments are now turning into blog posts. Recently, I've been on the hunt for some cute, easy throw pillows for my living room and a house I'm styling. I began combing my go-to big online home/interior sites and the results were so disappointing. Everything was affordable and ugly or cute and expensive (story of my retail existence). I finally landed on the fact that I wanted pillows made in to-the-trade fabric at reasonable prices. Seems impossible. Enter Etsy. Here are my most favorite Etsy pillow finds made from fabrics us normal folks can't get our hands on at prices to die for!
