Ruche looks

Today was the launch of Ruche's fall lookbook, and it has me longing for sweaters, boots and a chill.  Autumn is especially dear to my heart, as it holds our wedding season, that time of preparation and the date itself.  I can clearly remember the feeling of the mountain air that weekend, when it was just cool enough to need a sweater, but not so freezing that we all must stay inside.

Enjoy the video and perhaps you, too, will be reminded.

Summer looks and prettiness

I try not to double post, but I'm just so excited that I had to share the video below.  Ruche came out with a new lookbook and it's as beautiful as ever, so of course I'm peeing my pants with enthusiasm.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Hair do's

Because I've since moved to a warmer climate and my hair has grown itself out again after the a trip to the chopping block over a year ago, I'm trying to figure out what to do with it all.  Leaving it down simply isn't possible most days, since the humidity gets to it and it turns into a gigantic fuzz ball.

So I went hunting for some good how-to's of different and unique hairstyles.

This first one is courtesy of Ruche, a modern vintage boutique that creates gorgeous lookbooks.  These hairstyles were a few seen in the most recent Enchantment lookbook (which you should check out if you love looking at beautiful anything).  I like how elegant they look, but are perfectly suitable for any day.

Veronika from Tick Tock Vintage, one of my very favorite blogs, put together these great tutorials.  The first one is for a messy bun which I know should be a pretty easy thing to do, but mine look so much better after her instructions.  The second is for a crown french braid, something way more difficult than a messy bun.  I love doing both hairstyles, and it's great to have a little instruction.  She's darling and you should  look over her blog if you get a chance.

Happy Wednesday!

Dear.16.Year.Old.Me

There is a powerful message today.

And it came at the right time.  Right when I was considering that ridiculous tanning bed.

I believe that this video completely speaks for itself.

Please watch it.
