Love My Links: Hair, Shoes, Clothes…It’s all I need

February 3, 2012 Michelle giveaway, love my links

Here are some of my favorite links from this week!

Lauren Conrad’s “Chelsea Lately” Messy Braid-You won’t believe how easy this really is. It is my hair style TODAY!! The braid turned out so chic.

What I Wore’s “You’ll Never Guess Where I Got These”-People seemed shocked you can get cute shoes at Payless. They need to pull their heads out of their butts. The orange pair is to die for! Maybe for Texas Style Council?

Glamour’s “Jason Wu for Target”- It launches Feb. 5th and I plan to be at the doors early! I’m thinking it won’t be quite as big as Missoni, since it is not as well published on tv and since it is not such a huge collection. At the least, that pleated skirt has my name on it.

Enjoy all this prettiness and I hope you all have a great weekend loves!!

Congratulations to Sherry, Frances, and Malvina!

They all won in the grown up bow giveaway. Ladies, please email me (fierce_glamour(at)yahoo (dot) com) with your info.

Closet Wants

October 24, 2011 Michelle Clothes, inspiration

Today, I’m going to attempt to reorganize my closet. AGAIN. This happens ever 6 months or so with the changing of Texas’ two seasons, COLD and HOT. As I’m gearing up, I keep looking at closets/organization that I lust over, like this:

since nothing like this will happen till we move into a house and maybe turn a whole room into a closet (that’ll take some MAJAH convincing of hubs and probably never happen!)

Until then, I’m contemplating a different storage system like this cube system from Target (with different baskets!! or the Ikea Expedit series with drawers/doors….

and pretty little touches like these:

and maybe adding a striped runner rug. I’ve already got a chandelier! Ok, now I’m actually getting off the computer and getting to work. Wish me luck!

DIY Love Print

September 29, 2011 Michelle I Made It, personal, Project ReDo

Guys, I’ll admit this..I haven’t felt much inspiration lately. It is that awkward time in the Texas “fall” when the calander says October/FALL. But the temp gauge says 90 degrees and up. My desire to wear jeans, cords, long sleeves and tights is going hard. But I can’t. I would suffocate in this heat.. I’m in a funny state of mid season…I’ll get over it, but bear with me, PLEASE! Until then, we’ll focus on some other stuff. Including this DIY that I’ve been meaning to share FOREVER!!!

As you know, this whole year I’ve been redoing our apartment to fit “our” style, budget, and karma. This has included both bathrooms. Our master bath got a new color scheme of Black, Light Turquoise and Red. (it needed to flow with our master bedroom which is black, white, and bright blue).

I had this great Ikea UNG DRILL frame and knew I wanted to use it on a small wall for maximum effect. Previously, I found an frame/wall decor at Target that would have been PERFECT, thinking I could recreate it, I took a cell picture of it. When I finally got around to remaking it, the picture was GONE! I was heartbroken, but decided to wing it!

Supplies:

White Poster board
Scissors
Exacto knife
Elmer’s Glue Stick
4 Sheets of Scrapbook paper
Red Craft Paint
“LOVE” sparkly sticker

I took the backing off the frame and traced it onto the poster board. Then cut out the oval. I laid out my scrapbook paper. I had to use 4 sheets all lined up. I glued them all to the poster board then turned it over and set shoe boxes on it to make sure it stuck. After about 30 minutes, I used an exacto knife to cut off the excess paper on the side of the oval. The seams of the paper are extremely unnoticeable.

I didn’t want it to look too perfect, so I finger painted a heart on the middle.

After it dried, I stuck the “Love” sticker directly in the middle of the heart and put it all back in the frame! This is now the pretty print that hangs in our bathroom! It was an easy DIY that cost about $8 vs $25 for that first target print I saw.

Summer Must Haves

May 11, 2011 Michelle beauty

It has hit 90 degrees here over the past few days. Ladies and Gentlemen, summer is here. Oh joy! (I have a love/hate relationship with summer..) With it here, that means there are some things you just must have! Now, this isn’t your normal must have list. These aren’t shoes or dresses, these are practical things that will actually benefit you. So here we go!

Your Six Summer Must-Haves

A Good Strapless Bra

High heat means tiny or no straps on blouses and tops. My 3 year old strapless bra has become my best friend! Don’t just run in and buy one. Take your time and pick one that works for you! I needed wire support and a demi cup. Mine is from Victoria Secret and is similar to the one above. I didn’t mind paying a little more for a good bra that has lasted and worked! Another option a sticky bra. One that sticks only to your boobs letting you wear backless tops and dresses. Adhesive Options: Invisible Uplift, NuBra, Push Up Perks

Sheer Undies

Another necessity! Sheer undies! White pants, light colors, and sheer fabrics are beautiful in summer. Colorful panty lines are NOT! Sheer/Flesh colored underwear are the easiest way to go!

A Good Razor

Never underestimate the power of a good razor. You’ll have to shave less and your underarms and legs will thank you! I prefer to use a Gillette Venus Razor.

Good Lotion and Deoorant

Again your skin and nose will thank you! Choose lotion that meets your skin needs and isn’t greasy after application for summer! Your deodorant also needs to work for you! Are you an active girl on the go or a lucky one that only needs a little coverage. For lotion and deodorant, I use Nivea and Secret Clinical Strength.

A Pair of Good Sunglasses

Don’t get me wrong! I love to buy a cheap pair for looks only. But when you find a pair with the right protection, you’ll notice the difference! Not to say you need to go buy an expensive pair! Just make sure the pair you pick up offers 100% UVA and UVB protection!

Makeup with SPF

This one should be a no brainer by now. But its not. Most makeup I buy now already has SPF in it. But when you buy look for those three little letters! Even if you aren’t at the beach or pool, you’re exposed to the sun. Makeup with SPF helps protect your skin when you forget. I’m currently using Benefit Cosmetics Hello Flawless!

There ya go! Your six summer must haves! What do you think? Do you have any to add?

Feels Like Fall

October 6, 2010 Michelle Accessories, Clothes, fashion

Feels like fall, so let’s try another outfit post. This week has felt like fall! Monday (day of this outfit) was cool and more fall like than ever this year. So of course, I had to dress for the occasion! From grocery shopping to hosting Monday Night Football, this was the perfect casual running around outfit. Dinner consisted of wings,chips, salsa, brownies, and beer. I stayed in the master to watch a juicy episode of Gossip Girl. Hubs was nice enough to take these pics for me before the game started. Thanks, hun! He was already happy because he won in Fantasy Football from Sunday. Something I will never understand. Can we have a fantasy leauge for Fashion Week?! Someone jump on that..
