Summertime and Fashion

This week, I have been surrounded by hair, makeup and clothes and how to adjust them for the now triple-digit heat. However, here are some highlights of my week:

This is Kate in her curly hair glory. She has been asking me for months to make her beautiful curls straight. Since she was so sweet and polite about it, I finally decided to grant her wish.

Voila!  After a blowout, Kate was just the most adorable little mini-me I'd ever seen, even I was surprised how much we look alike when her hair is straight.

She insisted that I make her look just like me, so I gave her my signature side braid and used a bobby pin to fasten it in place.

She is such a cutie-pie!

Twinsies!


Now onto clothes. Meredith and I went shopping. We went to Nordstrom Rack so that I could spend my hard earned babysitting money on some new work clothes. I ended up purchased a white lace a-line pleated dress, a coral 3/4 sleeve length button down cardigan, and a white and tan striped top. I also splurged on OPI nail polish, a gold color and a pink color that has a blue shine.

The total was $99.14, and the receipt said the above image at the bottom. I enjoy being called a genius, even if it is a shopping genius and not an evil-genius :)

Family Bridal Shower

We had a bridal shower for the fiance of one of the cousins, wedding happening in July. Hosted by my Aunt Josie, it was at Cafe Fresco on a gorgeous Saturday morning.
