all natural, arbonne!

While visiting New Jersey my sister had an Arbonne Party and I must say I was very impressed by the products. 100% VEGAN and pure quality. Founded in Norway and developed in Switzerland no wonder this product is sensational! I lived in Norway long enough to know the woman there are gorgeous and they must be using something on that fabulous skin of theirs! I think I just discovered a little secret. ARBONNE! Start reading the back of your make-up and skin care because you will be shocked what we are allowed to buy here in the U.S.!  I learned at the Arbonne party that make-up manufacturers are allowed to put mineral oil in our make-up. This is a toxic substance that the government does not allow oil companies to throw out, so they sell it to the cosmetic companies and we put it on OUR FACE??!!!! Wait... we are not allowed to throw it our because it is TOXIC, but we can put it on our skin? hmmmm.... where is the logic? Be aware and know what you are buying, and check out ARBONNE! if you want to be chemical free and fabulous! xxx

a day at anais

Today I spent the day at a cute little shop called "Anais Boutique". I spent half of the day visual merchandising and the other half drinking champagne while trying on all of the clothes! [hard life] I found some really amazing pieces that you will get to see in the posts to come!!! xxx

oh sweet josephine...

My grandmother "Josephine" has always been my fashion icon. I remember as a really small child I loved getting dressed up in her clothing, and I still do! I'm wearing her vintage hot pants, together with a vintage victorian shirt, and a hat that my beautiful mother sent to me! Together this outfit is [ 3 ] generations of greatness!!! I hope that one day when I have a daughter she will carry the old soul gene as well! "Beauty without expression tires" [Ralph Waldo Emerson]

diy bleach out !

Have old t-shirts laying around? Here is a really simple way to give it a fresh new look. First find a t-shirt you want to destroy. I didn't have any rubber bands laying around, so I decided to use twine. [which turned out to be a blessing in disguise] Next wrap your shirt in different size knots. I went crazy! After you make your knots take the twine and wrap it around the entire shirt in different places. After you are happy with your wrapped up tee, grab yourself a bowl and some bleach. I wanted to make sure my shirt got completely bleached out so I filled up about half of my bowl with bleach, then added warm water to the rim. I let my shirt soak overnight and in the morning I hung it for a couple of hours. Throw it in the wash machine and presto! You have yourself a new shirt!!! You can't really mess up, so have fun destroying your clothes and let me know how your bleach out goes!!! xxx

gold sequins top-lily white // navajo pillow-ikea // eyeliner-mac

Inspired by my last post... I went looking for gold, and that I found! I was on a mission to find a gold top, so you can imagine how happy I was when I came across this pretty little gem! It was the only one on the rack and I got it so cheap it feels like stealing... do I even dare say? Ok, $10. Yup, marked down from $38. There is seriously something about the hunt and then the capture that really gets my adrenaline pumping!!! If you seek, you shall find! xxx 

march madness!

Living so close to Mexico has some major advantages! Like this awesome purse I found Downtown for a steal! I loved it so much I bought one for all of my sisters, and my niece! It is definitely the inspiration for my next DIY project. I'm currently shopping for a good sewing machine and once that is in my possession there will be no stopping me! I also found this shredded up crop top, vintage belt [needs a buckle] and Minnetonka moccasins! I am so excited for March, not only will it be getting warmer but I have some really cool projects coming up! Let the madness of March begin!!! xxx
