Many of my Babble posts this month have been Halloween related because well, it’s October, and why not? But I think with the blog update and new design, a few may have been caught in the Matrix. So just in case you missed any, here’s a roundup of my Beauty and Style posts at Babble …
Liz Martins | Makeup Artist | Hair + Photography + Styling
Liz Martins is a makeup artist in the UK but I first spied her work in a magazine ad for faux eyelashes and then took to the internet to find out more about her. I came upon her site and fell in love with the photos of some of her artistic work. Here are a …
Let the Sun Fade Out to a Dark Sky
What I’m Wearing… * Vintage black slip dress I’ve had forever but haven’t worn forever and I’m SUPER excited about wearing slips as dresses again. Usually I have to layer a few, but it was evening, and though I showed it here without the coat, I left the coat on. * Camel Coat by …
DIY Halloween Costumes // Princess Merida from Disney’s Brave
To me, dressing up is more fun than well, not. So I started this Disney character series {Cinderella was my first} with the excuse that Halloween is just around the corner, but really, I’m having so much fun, I may just keep going after the fact. I guess we’ll just wait and see. But like …

DIY Feather Mohawk + Faux Hawk / Feather Headdress
Totally inspired by a kid’s Fall fashion editorial {see more here: Little Punks! Cute Fall Looks for Kids it’s the last photo} who had faux feather mohawks adorning their heads, I got busy thinking about how I could replicate the look and how on earth I could get it to stand upright on my head …
How-to Cinderella Hair & Makeup {Photo Tutorial}
It’s true I’ve been dressing up as Disney characters since I was an infant due to my mom’s deep admiration of the “Mouse”, but before they were labeled “princesses” I wanted to be every one of Disney’s leading ladies, and of them all, Cinderella was my favorite. I guess I just have a soft spot …
My Beauty Routine From Start to Finish | Makeup & Hair
Though I don’t do this beauty routine everyday because, well let’s face it, I work from home and honestly, I’m pretty low maintenance on those days. Now, I wouldn’t say I stay in my pajamas all day, but that’s only because I don’t really wear pajamas. I simply like to refer to my work at …
Big Voluminous Hair & How to Get it!
I learned to embrace big hair in my teenage years, and decided after years of trying to tame it, that my hair looked better if I just worked with it instead of against it. And so I also learned to love big hair. Even when sleek hair styles are trending, I have big hair, and …
Pretty Punk Princess DIY Black Flowers Head Crown
If you’re a long-time follower, this may look very familiar to you… but flipping through the August issue of Marie Claire Magazine the other day, I came across this gorgeous Black Flower Headband {Camellia Beehive Headband with Floral Veil} by Jennifer Behr for $950, made exclusively for the Moda Operandi Punk Shop. Unfortunately it’s sold …
You’re Gonna Need a Bulletproof Soul
What I’m Wearing… * Thrifted camo jacket on a recent shopping expedition up in these here parts 😉 There was a name patch above one of the pockets which I easily removed with a seam ripper then tossed in the wash. I can’t believe how perfectly it fits. I love those kind of finds. I’d …
Metallic Nails Trio & General Valentine’s Day Romanticism
These are my favorite nails as of late. There’s really nothing original to it, but I love the mix of metallics, especially the 3 golds: White Gold, Rose Gold, & Yellow Gold. I just alternated the colors so no two of the same would sit next to the other. The Rose Gold is my go-to …
Hair Tutorial: Soft Romantic Beach Waves w/ Tapered Ceramic Iron
A few weeks ago my trusty 1″ Hot Tools curling iron finally called it quits. I think I bought it in or around 2003, so almost ten years of soft waving and amazing curls makes for a good buy, in my opinion. It remains my favorite, I must admit. But while searching for a replacement …
A Most Comfortable Moment… Neoprene & Knits
What I’m Wearing… * Vila Exclusive Cable Knit Grandad Sweater from Asos {got it in cream too… Asos has great sweaters!}* Floral neoprene pants by Cynthia Rowley {last season – still love!} … also seen here* ‘Classic Wellington’ Leather Satchel by Marc Jacobs * Various bracelets & hoop earrings & my old Tom Ford cat …
Hair Tutorial + Video: High French Twist Faux Hawk…
A few weeks ago I styled my hair in this high French twist {featured in this outfit post} and had requests for an instructional hair tutorial. So here it is 😉 It’s a fun look because it sort of mimics a faux-hawk or a short haircut if you slick the sides back. If you leave …
