Pretty...ugly??

Good Afternoon and Happy Weekend!!

First up, my outfit from a couple days ago.  I have mentioned in prior blog entries that I have a tendency to sometimes pick things that may either be great or ugly...it is sometimes difficult for me to tell.  This dress in particular is one such item.  I am not sure if the pattern is terrible or actually a little cool.  A friend at work told me it was a thumbs up but, to be honest, I'm still not quite convinced.

Dress: H&M

Belt: Anthro last fall

Boots: J Crew Winter 2008

Ring: H&M

Second, I have tried a couple different types of curling irons/methods to get the Hollywood curls but have never come close.  My sister introduced me to the blog Cupcakes and Cashmere, which I am totally in love with, and Emily, the blogger, did a how to entry about her hair, which has that effortless Hollywood look.  I tried it and here are the results.  Not sure it is worth the extra 15 minutes in the morning or the numerous burns I have on my fingers but it looked pretty good. All the instructions are here!


Finally, I was genetically predisposed to be obsessed with hair products.  You see, my mom has been using the most fantastic shampoos and products in general forever so when you're five and already using Aveda there is no turning back!!  I recently got this shampoo called Big, made by Lush.  If you haven't ever used Lush products I would highly recommend trying some of them out.  They are handmade and all natural and fantastic.  This shampoo is amazing and you only need to use a tiny bit so I foresee that it will last forever and when coupled with this conditioner, American Cream, it leaves my hair feeling soft, full, and smelling great.  This combination of products are quite possibly the best I have ever used!!

I have a problem with word economy, clearly.  Have a lovely weekend!
