I hate to make another one of those “beauty obsessions” posts (I’m sure you see plenty) but I’ve been trying a lot of new products lately and I haven’t done a beauty post in a while, so I thought I’d give it a go. This isn’t necessarily a summer beauty feature (these products are great now as well as year round) but because it’s July which means summer is in full swing (although that’s questionable in Chicago) it’s time to get your July beautified.
Odd title for a personal style post, right? It can go one of two ways — one is that my photog Dan found this weird alley in Bucktown that’s painted circus-themed so naturally we decided to take photos there, and two is that I too can be considered a freak show.
You know how you wake up on January 1 and feel like you’re really going to commit to your new years resolutions this year (post-hangover of course)? And then by the next week, you’ve already forgotten about them. That’s kind of like what Earth Day is; you’ll try to commit to taking shorter showers and turning the lights off when you leave the room…but then it completely slips your mind on any day that’s not Earth Day. Nothing to be ashamed of. I drive a 2002 Toyota 4Runner…and trust me, it ain’t no Prius.
So to celebrate this wonderful holiday, I thought the Chanel Fall 2013 globe clutch would be the perfect image to get us started. After all, it is Karl’s world…and we’re all just living in it.
For some exciting post-Christmas news…
One of my favorite nailpolish brands and one of the best shows EVER have teamed up for the ultimate beauty/TV junkie collaboration…it’s Girls x Deborah Lippmann.
With a nailpolish obsession like mine, it’s too stressful to just pick out ONE color for all TEN nails. With an ever-growing nailpolish collection + a consistent #ManiMonday update on Instagram I decided a 2 color minimum will be put in place (and that’s a 2 color minimum per hand by the way). And then the Ginger + Liz duos were born…
