For Grey Hair

I dyed my hair (with the help of Emilie) and now that the blue tint is washing out (from the color additive I used) I think it’s starting to settle into the perfect grey. It is also a lot shorter than many of you may remember. I cut it really short a few weeks ago. When I get tired of growing my hair out, I take scissors to it. I am sorry for the poor quality photos I have been using. I promise I’ll start using my real camera instead of my phone soon.

For Alberta Ferretti

I absolutely adore 1920s fashion (and music and culture, etc.) and Alberta Ferretti’s Pre-Fall 2012 RTW line makes me want to keel over and die. Below are my favorites. Please click on the image for a better look.

For Married Life

My friend Emilie is a GREAT person. She loves elephants, running, and old-school encyclopedias (her favorite is the “P” book). Some peculiar circumstances happened this Summer that brought Emilie to San Jose where I live, and some even stranger circumstances brought her into the house where I live. (If any of you know my Grandparents, let’s just keep this between us.)

Emilie and I have shared a little over half of our lives with each other. We shared the competitive circus-like world of friendships in Junior High as well as the “exciting” indoctrinators at the small Christian school we attended. We shared our learning-about-ourselves High School experiences even when we attended different schools. We shared our crazy phases in early college and the incredible insight that we gained from those hard times. We have shared all the deaths and new beginnings in our lives. We have shared all the crushes and broken hearts. We have helped each other understand, grow, and heal.

When Emilie moved in with me, it changed both our lives.

After even just a short while of living together- something both of us thought would not be the best scenario- we found that our relationship grew to become that of a married couple. We eat mostly every meal with each other. We meet in between schedules. We do our work together. We have “our shows” that we watch together. We have night-time rituals and wine nights. We share a bathroom and a bed, but we have our own special individual chairs in the living room. Oh yes, and living together actually is the best scenario.

So, Emilie, on your name day: Thank you so much for being the friend you are, the sister you are, and the wife you are.

For Nude Nails

I have never considered myself a nail polish kind of girl. I see these blogs dedicated entirely to nails of different colors and wonder where these girls find the time to paint their nails so incessantly often. However, I have been on the hunt for a good nude color for my rough beat-up-by-guitar nails and today I am going to share my find with you: a perfect nude with a bit of pink in it.

This is the color I found and my nails are shown painted in it. It is OPI’s “Let’s Plié” for Sephora. So if you’ve been looking for a good nude color for light skin, I suggest trying this one.
