There’s something about this manicure that I am utterly obsessed with. I think it’s the perfect combination of subtle yet loud, ladylike but rebellious, mainstream but counter culture… and I just adore it. It’s so easy, I can’t believe I hadn’t thought of it sooner, and I’m sure it’s been done before for the same …

Hair Tutorial // Chic Low Milkmaid Braids for Summer
I never really got into the Milkmaid braids trend. I dunno, I think it was something about the title that turned me off. Also, in the past, it was more saved for little girls and old grannies, so I never felt it totally age appropriate, but I’m sure if done right, it looks nice and …

Infertility // A Faint Light at the End of the Long Tunnel of Acceptance

DIY Cut Out T-shirt // Cute & Sporty Asymmetrical Top
Sometimes just a little extra detail makes all the difference. I’ve been cutting up t-shirts since I was a kid {as many of you probably have too} but never quite like this. Mine frequently are of the slashed variety, like my open back t-shirt diy, but around the neckline and sleeves –which I mastered that …
