Hey sweet thangs.

Got some news over here. I’m now an editor for MAKEUP.COM and I’ve hit the ground running with some articles over the past week. Check out the links below for my posts, plus some other things that made me happy…

Word: Spring

Word: Coachella

You guys. I’m going to start writing some of my thoughts in a cool font to make me feel fancy.

Anyways, I’m pretty sad about the news below. I’ll either have to jump the shark with my own flora tiara on my birthday, or relinquish my dreams. Sigh.

 

Happy International Women’s Day

 


To the women who tell you when you have lipstick on your teeth, the ladies that never leave your wine glass empty, the old gals brimming with dirty stories and inspiring advice, the young ones with popsicle mouths and earnest grins, the chicks in between, wandering through it all, grounded by splinters of innocence and aspirations of wisdom: Happy International Women’s Day.

Holy Ruffles

These are not your typical, kindergarten ruffles. These ruffles drink cappuccinos with their hair in effortless topknots, while holding hands with their Italian boyfriends in shady little cafes on the streets of Paris.

And, I love them.
