The Beauty Department

Have you found thebeautydepartment.com yet? I suggest you bookmark this page as a favorite as soon as humanly possible! You will love it! Everyday the site offers several posts on all things beauty; Make-up, hair, skin, and nails. They also share amazing tutorials and all 3 girls have such a fun writing style. Not to mention Lauren Conrad is a main contributor… I love her style! And pretty much everything about her…. She right up there with MK & A in my book.

Must Have: The Maxi Dress

So I might or might not have bought 3 maxi dresses in 1 week... But after reading this article by my fav, Rachael Zoe in my March Glamour Magazine, I decided  I wanted to embrace these long lengths as much as possible! I wrote these posts, here and here, about ways to lengthen your body, and I thought this needed to be added as a great lengthening tool! (Sorry my blog is slowly turning into a short girls guide to dressing taller…  but I’m also totally ok with it, if you are!)

These are the 2 Maxi dresses and (similar) skirt that I found over the past week... These design boards are exactly what I picture doing with each piece as I bought them! Its so fun to picture an outfit, see it on paper (err...computer screen), and then create it with items from my closet. Such joy it brings!!

Wingback

I have been searching for a cheap wingback to recover for my living room- FOR. LIKE. EVER. We are in major need of an accent chair and I want it to be a bold piece that I am really proud of.  Looks like I will be spending my weekends at garage sales this summer! I LOVE these looks!

I love the look of traditional furniture upholstered with a modern fabric! Very unpredicatable!

These are my top choices from fabric.com!

Barn Lights

I'm on the hunt for a new pendant light! I want something fun and interesting to hang above my sink in the kitchen... I think these barn lights are making their way to the top of my list!

Pottery Barn

Home Depot.

  This one is my favorite from Barn Light Electric.
