You've Got Nail 92 // September Scratch Box

I'm slowwwwwly getting caught up on these old nails posts! The September Scratch set was one of my recent favorites with its colorful florals and versatility. During the late summer, I went through a checkered nail phase and it pulled over into my September manicure. Click through to see the planning process and the sets!

AMA // I Got My Lips Tattooed

At the beginning of last month, I took the leap and had my lips tattooed. As a cosmetic tattooer, this was something I had been considering for quite a while — my natural lips are nearly the same color as my skin, so I was constantly wearing tinted lip gloss or lipstick just to avoid looking washed out. Even though I was curious about the procedure, I didn't personally know anyone who had it done. However, I had full trust in my friend Krystle Harte to do a great job since her portfolio was already full of great, natural lip tattoo results! Click through for my experience, the healing process, and some of the most frequently asked questions I've been getting about the results!

Corduroy

November is here! I'm loving my new Angie the Snake Gold Pendant necklace from local maker Michi's Workshop. Pairing this gold jewelry with a warm cord suit felt like the perfect way to spend the day.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween, Minis! I hope you all have a safe and spooky day — meanwhile, Opal and I are over here reading some scary stories. (Psst: tomorrow is discount candy day!)

The Pumpkin Patch

Nothing says fall quite like a visit to the pumpkin patch. I was excited to style this plaid skirt with some boots and drink apple cider.

Lara Croft

Another really fun costume for this year: Lara Croft from Tomb Raider! This summer I spent a lot of time replaying the original three games on PS1, and realized I had pretty much all of the pieces for this costume in my wardrobe already! All I had to do what DIY a harness and get a wig.

Poison Ivy

It's finally costume time! I hope you have all had a wonderful Halloween weekend. I was sure to celebrate with a couple of costumes (and more to come!) for parties over the past couple of days. I love making my own Halloween costumes and this year was no different! First up: Poison Ivy. Click through for more details.

Cropped Sweaters Forever

I love cropped sweaters for fall! This beauty is from Wulfka. I've said it over and over — but be sure to check out her amazing designs! I have this Mish Cropped Sweater in another color (I posted about it here last fall!) and I love how this black version pairs with my thrifted zip-front skirt.

Hole in One

Mini Golf always reminds me of being a kid on vacation. I recently discovered a small course in downtown and had to get here before the winter comes. I even got a hole in one on the Michael Jordan hole!
