Birthday Weekend

Because my birthday fell on a holiday this year (yesterday, Memorial Day) I thought I’d take the whole weekend to celebrate (even though I’d probably do the same if it didn’t fall on a holiday). I had such a fun weekend I wanted to share with you some of my favorite photos.

Salon was closed for Memorial Day so #ManiMonday turned into Mani Saturday.

Glamour’s September Issue is Full on Fashion

Is it too early to start talking September issues? I say no. Especially when, for the first time in history, Glamour is devoting its entire September issue to fashion. Every single editorial page and the issue as a whole will be seen through a “fashion lens.”

Can’t wait til September? Follow @glamourmag on Twitter and Pinterest. They even dedicated an entire board to #makingsept. I always appreciate when brands are innovative with social media and this is a great way to hype up Glamour readers for the largest issue of the year.

How can you not love a big pile of fabulous shoes?

Picking out the Glamour do’s and don’ts for the September issue. And a shameless plug…my picture happened to be in the Glamour do’s section of the May 2012 issue!

Here’s their Full on Fashion promotional video to get you even more excited!
