The rumors were true….I’m back!!!
I took some (much needed) time away to try and learn how to balance two kids, a full-time job and two blogs. It only took me 6 months….ha! I am looking forward to sharing some of my finds on a consistent (fingers crossed) basis, so let’s jump right in…..
With Summer vacations and warmer weather just around the corner, It’s time for me to invest in some water gear for my littlest lady! Check out some of these adorable options I found floating around the world wide web! 🙂
Nautical: 1. 2. 3. Retro: 1. 2. 3. Animal: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Geometric: 1. 2. 3.

If you have read our blog for a while, you know we love Pantone and color trends. In the past we have written a few posts on this:
Decades of Color, Fall Fashion in 2012 and Spring Fashion in 2013.
I love that color helps with trends for home decor, fashion, and all things design. It inspires and guides designers and artists and pantone sets these each year and each season.
This year the Pantone 2014 color of the year is Radiant Orchid.
Isn’t it such a great, bright color for the year. I do really like it – it reminds me of tulips, fun toes in the summer, easter eggs in the spring and ornaments at christmas.
The color really is beautiful. It is set to “spark the imagination”. Read more from the press release on www.pantone.com here:
“While the 2013 color of the year, PANTONE 17-5641 Emerald, served as a symbol of growth, renewal and prosperity, Radiant Orchid reaches across the color wheel to intrigue the eye and spark the imagination,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®.
“An invitation to innovation, Radiant Orchid encourages expanded creativity and originality, which is increasingly valued in today’s society.”
“An enchanting harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones, Radiant Orchid inspires confidence and emanates great joy, love and health. It is a captivating purple, one that draws you in with its beguiling charm.”
The Pantone inspires Fashion, Beauty and Interiors. Here are some of my favorites you can pick up to have with you throughout the year.
FASHION
purple top | shoes | purple jacket | striped dress | cord jeans | purple statement necklace | purple scarf
HOME DECOR
pillow and duvet cover | area rugs | purple chair | purple dishes | wine glasses | frame | artwork

The time has come – we are having our engagement photos taken next week! I chose the amazing Crystal Stokes to do my photography. I can not quit looking at her work and can not wait to see the pictures we take! For my engagement shot, I am having Erin Ashley do my make up… look at a picture these two amazing women worked on together for the Carolina Bride Magazine… I told you – I can’t wait!
Sadly these women are not with me every day, so I have to do the best I can for myself! I have a few blogs that I have follow that help with make up techniques and easy ways to do your hair!
Maskcara – this girl has amazing ideas and techniques! She also gives you reviews on products that she has tried and suggests. It is a great resource! One things she does from time to time is before and afters – check this one out!
Secondly, always look forward to a post from The Small Things Blog – she is such a real girl with practical ideas on makeup and hair. When doing my hair for weddings or special events, I always check out her hair tutorials! Maybe I will do this one for a wedding we are going to this weekend… I wonder how it will look with curly hair?
Do you guys have any favorite makeup or hair style bloggers?
