Ombre Meets GlassyBaby

post from San Francisco Wedding Planner on 17 May 2011 04:36:50 PM. © San Francisco Wedding Planner

Daydreaming about glassybabys in shades (of possibly yellow or green or even peach) ranging from light to dark. Unfamiliar with Ombre or Glassybaby? Read below!

Ombre = a French word which means shaded or graduation from light to dark. See an example of escort cards that have been dyed Ombre style here.

What's New From Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara,
Limitless Lip Stain, Softbox Palette

post from Hooked On Beauty on 17 May 2011 02:09:20 PM. © Hooked On Beauty

I realized in the car the other day that I was literally wearing 7 coats of mascara. No, I don't rock a Tammy Faye lash, but I do lay down a lengthening formula (a few times) before a volumizing one (a few more times) which I've found gives me super long, separated lashes. Do I like the look? Yes. The process? Not at all. Full Exposure Mascara was literally formulated for gals like me who are getting their layer on and using two different types of mascara for a long, defined look we all crave. I can honestly say that Full Exposure gives a fullness in one coat that usually takes me 4 or 5. I'm typically a drugstore mascara girl, but this is one I'll actually buy.

I didn't really have a go-to lip stain for my brides who wanted a stay in place solution that wasn't heavy or thick. Limitless Lip Stain & Color Seal Balm was invented for the girl who wants color without goopy weight. It's a kissable, drinkable, totally bas-ass lip stain with a tinted balm that you smooth on top of lips to keep them fresh and shiny. It's now what I recommend to all of my brides and women on the go who don't like to re-apply color.

Softbox Shadow Palette is one of my favorite palettes in a long time. It's a perfect mix of liners and shadows in sexy grays and bronzy coppers with a few neutrals tossed in, it truly is an all-you-need grab and go for countless looks. Also included is a brush you'll use for years, and one of my favorite eye primers around.

Ilah, 16 Months Old

post from From Marriage to Motherhood on 17 May 2011 01:10:54 PM. © From Marriage to Motherhood

Ilah, last week you turned 16 months old. On that exact day, I took these photos of you - on May 12th. You are growing not only in beauty, but also in your personality! And boy, do you have a BIG one!! So what are you up to? Let's see....
You LOVE being outside. When we bring you in, you have a meltdown. A total, complete meltdown. Accompanied with tears and kicking. I'm sure you would prefer to have your crib outside so that you could always feel the breeze blowing by you.

You love bubbles. You get so excited when you see them floating through the air. You take the wand and try to blow them yourself but can't do it quite yet.

You have started to become a picky eater. Uh oh! Right now your favorite things to eat are eggs, pasta and fruit.

You have started to climb the stairs one foot at a time, rather than on your knees. In fact, you are starting/trying to climb most things now {the pillows on our bed in an attempt to crawl up our headboard, and you are also now trying to climb onto the couch}.
You love having shoes on your feet. Whether your own - or mommy or daddy's : ) Anytime you see shoes, you put your foot into them!

You understand every single direction that we give you. You are so smart Ilah!

You always wake up with a smile!! ALWAYS!!

You like to move things from one area of the room to another. Lately you've been moving around the barstools in the kitchen. They aren't light....you are one strong little girl!

Speaking of the kitchen, it's time for us to begin cooking on the stove's back burner's. You are just about tall enough to reach up and put your little hands where they aren't supposed to go.
Mommy plays a CD of bible songs when we are in the car and you just love the music! You clap your hands, hit your knees, and shake your body to the music! So cute!

You don't like to be carried. You want down and you want your freedom!

You are now totally into your riding toys and scoot around from one room to the next, pressing your horn and saying "weee!!". Yesterday you climbed on top of your Disney riding toy, with both feet, and stood on the seat!

You LOVE to give us kisses! It's the sweetest thing ever!! And we can't get enough of them!!

It's now come to pass...you are on one nap a day. It started this week.
You run around all over the place!! I've said it before...and I'll say it again....you are one busy little girl! You hardly ever sit still. For a girl that doesn't have too much sugar, you sure do have A LOT of energy!! Ha ha!!

Your new favorite toy is the "Dora & Boots" bathtoys that your Abuela bought for you probably eight months ago. You often bring one or the other to mommy and we sit and play with them. You still sleep with your favorite stuffed animal - your pink puppy {that daddy named Rufea}. Oh how you love your little puppy!

And I have to add this, just so I remember....you follow mommy around A LOT - and this includes following me into the bathroom. For a while now you have been in a stage of copying everything that you see me doing. So now you take some toilet paper off of the role and wipe yourself {with your clothes on}...it cracks me up!!

We have a hard time telling you "No". I mean...look at that face!! I told Daddy recently that we can't let you get away with things as much anymore! Ha!

You love going to church and playing with all of the other little ones there. The nursery workers can't help but see what a busy little girl you are but they notice how sweet you are and dote on you endlessly!

Today we went to story time at a book store and Ilah, my love....you were all over the place and man, did you make mommy sweat! I think you are still a little too young. We will try again when you are a bit older. But like daddy said, at least we tried ; )

WE LOVE YOU MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAY ILAH!!!!

Love, Mommy & Daddy

BHLDN WTF LOL!

So they are now selling wedding decor on BHLDN Anthropologie's foray into the wedding world. Personally, I sort of love them in a very conflicted way. There are some super-cute things that I would definitely consider buying/DIYing, but I wanted to share two hilariously wha? offerings.
