I absolutely cannot believe its almost May.

Now this is how you do Rockabilly. LOVE.

Style Me: Tumbleweeds Sunglasses

on Thursday, April 26, 2012

I jumped on the blogger train and ordered up some sunnies from Tumbleweeds. I.Love.Them. Is it weird that my favorite part is that they smell like wood? Actually, that's not my favorite part. My favorite part is the customer service that came with my purchase.
First things first- When I jumped onto their Etsy page I didn't see the heart shaped style I was looking for- I emailed them and they had them posted within an hour! They shipped way faster than I expected and when I  devastatingly broke them a mere 2 days into having them they shipped a replacement pair that day. Can you believe that? They kept in tight contact and checked multiple times to make sure everything was squared away. Super sweet folks, without a doubt, and a quality product no less!
Oh, and they donate $1 for every order to the Save the Manatee Club, Florida- what's not to love about that?!

I purchased the Lolita patchwork pair and I get compliments on them literally every time I wear them. If these don't strike your fancy, head over to their shop and check out a bajillion other awesome options!

Beauty Me: One Love Organics

on Tuesday, April 17, 2012

I have very sensitive skin. Very. To the point where I just stopped washing my face at night because no matter what I used, I would wake up with a very irritated looking face. Last week, for no particular reason, I decided I had had enough. I sent out a tweet to my lovely friend Meghan of High Plains Thrifter and Elizabeth Dehn of Beauty Bets for suggestions. Elizabeth responded with lightning speed and suggested One Love Organics and Arcona LA. I decided to start with One Love Organics travel pack as a sampler. I can't remember the last time I was more pleased with a purchase. First of all, their customer service is stellar. They sent my order less than 24 hours after I placed it and sent me receipts and tracking numbers- my favorite.The best part- the products work great- my skin looks and feels rejuvenated and smooth- I was instantly thrilled! No redness, bumps are subsiding and I even feel glowy. Oh, and it all smells really good. This stuff is pricey so if you don't have endless disposable income, do what I did and try the Essentials To Go for $48- I promise you won't regret it! The application of the products is a little nontraditional, but don't fear, they have tutorials too.

Color Me: trouble.

on Friday, April 13, 2012

In honor of the much anticipated Troublemaker Society: Series 1 event at Catalyst Studios tonight I thought I would feature a photo from my talented friend Annie, taken in the much drooled after black frame Impossible Project Polaroid film. These two look like they might be up to no good in the absolute best way. Have a great weekend everyone, and hope to see you at Catalyst Studios tonight from 5:30-9:00 for some sweet art, sweet jams, free booze and lots of TROUBLE.

Life isn't perfect, but you know what? It's good. And that is pretty lucky. This terribly adorable photo, snapped by my good friend Summer,  was taken at the lovely Cori Kindred's baby shower over in Pdx. Congrats, Cori! Clearly my creative inspiration is still stuck in Portland- but who can blame me?! 

Let's all take some time this weekend to soak in the pastels of the season, take in a (hopefully) warm breeze and smile. Because things are just better when we do that. 

Bunny love: clothes.

Easter is around the corner- my second favorite holiday (right after Halloween), obviously because of its direct relationship with the amount of bunny paraphernalia available at this time of year. Oh, and chocolate. And pastels! Ok I guess there are a few reasons...but MOSTLY BUNNIES.
