I love to accessorize, whether it’s shoes on my feet, bangles on my wrists or… feathers in my hair.  I recently tried some clip-in feather extensions and loved them!  They come in all shapes, colors and sizes.  I opted for a few long and delicate feathers and I chose colors that were not much different from my own hair.  They blended in for a subtle boho chic look. They are so fun to wear and temporary.  So why not wear some feathers in your hair?

Have a nice weekend everyone. Before we go, we’ll leave you with these. We love gorgeous little spaces that inspire. From a simple desk to an elaborate vanity, you should always have a little corner in the world where you can go and have your daily dose of pretty. See you monday.

XO Lauren, Amy Nadine & Kristin

HAPPY EARTH DAY!

“Pretty Practice”

~Do your makeup near a window and use natural light instead of turning on your vanity or bathroom lights. Not only will you save energy, but you can see things you might have missed in artificial lighting.

~Find eco friendly nail polishes. Some regular nail polishes contain dibutyl phthalate (dbp) to prevent chipping in nail polishes. That stuff is gross, bad for the environment and used in car paint. Would you go to honda for a mani pedi?

~The annoying paper phone book. Click here and get taken off your local yellow pages delivery list. That thing is an eye sore. Anyways, who’s even listed??

~Did you know a cd takes over a million years to decompose? These guys taught us that. They’re like electronic recycling elves. Don’t be lazy. Let them recycle your old phones and electronics. We do.

~When it comes to being green, no one has us beat like Rachel McAdams. She taught us that unplugging the “black box” phone chargers can practically save the world one killowatt at a time. Rachel and a couple of her friends started this and we think it’s fascinating.

~According to our poll earlier this week, nearly half of you are already doing your part by letting your hair air dry. Look at you, being all green!

BEE DAY!

Maybe it’s her ability to go from barefoot on the beach to five inch stilletos without missing a step. Maybe it’s the fact that she loves being a mom and it shows. Maybe it’s her love of the environment. Or maybe it’s simply her flawless complexion and 24 karat hair color. We say all of the above! Happy Birthday, Kate.
