this week all i did was gather images that inspire me and thought of concepts, as well as lots of drawing. Even though I haven't officially started making a ring yet I do however plan of having 52 rings by the end of the year! (maybe more!)

the photos above are inspiration images. images that struck me, stopped me and made me think. more images are coming later :)

week 1 of the photo app challenge

This week I just took simple shots. I'm still trying to figure out my apps to see which ones are my favorite. I took quick snap shots. Food I ate, sketches i made, rings i wear, and my sleepy puppy. All edited with after glow.

The self portraits! edited with galaxyFX and afterglow.

The lamp! i just got that flower lamp! and the pamanti brothers sandwich. which was super yummy!
still learning about the apps finding my favorites actions, as well as finding more moments to capture.
thanks for looking at my progress.

hair inspiration

As I mentioned before I'm getting my hair dyed this week! I'm so excited I can't wait. i just wanted to pop in and share some hair inspiration.

The color: i have decided to go red! I've been a red head before but it wasn't this type of red! I can't wait to see how I'm going to look.

I'm going Karen Gillian red! She played Amy Pond in doctor who. (which I am now in love with! And a  post about doctor who is coming soon.)

the new year

so far my new year had been great! on the first we went to the ikea store to pick up some desks. which was my christmas gift. I was so excited. I got a nice little white desk with a few drawers. After that we went shopping! The only thing I bought was the other starbucks christmas gift card that i didn't have. (yes  I have started collecting them again.) I looked a clothes but nothing I couldn't live with out. I also think that not having everything in my closet app, as well as not having my closet clean didn't allow myself to buy something new until I got those two goals done.

on the second my sister and I played dance central. it was pretty fun and definitely a work out! we spent the day with leane one of my best friends who was home for the holidays (you might remember her from here.) it was nice to talk to her again. I miss her so much when she's gone. on the plus side I can go visit her in San Francisco and have my own personal tour guide :) after spending the day with leane my sister and i went to the hair salon and I made an appointment to get my hair dyed. I think its time for a change. hey after all it's a new year its time for a new me :)

rag and bone sweater

You guys know I am a super fan of designers partnering with target right? if not check out my other post about the subject.( Missoni and jason wu) so when i found out that some of the designers were designing things for a holiday collection i quickly went to check it out! i fell in love with a rag and bone sweater. it was reminiscent of a channel jacket. the only problem it was a mens sweater! not that it has ever stopped me before the only thing that did was it was too big for me. then right next to it was a little boys sweater. and may i say it fit me like a sweater should. the shoulders are right where they should be and it's a very flattering length. the target girls were laughing at me while i told my mom "i could add a belt to make it more feminine." i tried it on at home and realized i don't need the belt. it's pretty cool all by itself. the icing on the cake was all Neiman Marcus merchandise was 50% off and  the fact it was a little boys sweater which was cheeper than the mens and i had two gift cards that i never used so i got the sweater for a steal! i just needed to share my awesome bargain, and you will see me wear it because I'm going to have style posts!

Beauty resolutions

New Years is here! And this year I have a few beauty resolutions!

This year I plan to.....

Take better care of my skin. I way to often don't wash my face after a day full of make up and daily toxins. I know this is a no no. I will also moisturize my skin more. Hydrating your skin is the best thing you can do. It makes your make up smooth.

Perfect the cat eye and all it's variations. I love the cat eye look but never had the right liner to make it. I just got a NARS liner that I love and i'm looking forward to perfecting this look!



have a spa day once a month! It's nice to feel girly for once and it lets you relax and not stress out. I plan on trying out all of the DIY masks, scrubs, and hair treatments i have pinned on pintrest this year and this goal will help me accomplish it.

do you guys have beauty goals? do you want to wear red lipstick every day for a year? want to try a new make up routine? let me know in the comments.
