{MINI + MAMA} RAIN DAY

its a rainy election day in dallas... if you have not voted yet and have to take the kiddos with you today, why not all put on your rain-boots and make for a 'puddle-adventure'!
sometimes it blows my mind that most of texas comes to a standstill (literally- it took me almost three times as long to get to work today) when it rains. maybe since rain is a rarity here most days of the year?! in germany, it rains so much in the fall and spring that you can't hibernate for half the year. so mamas bundle up their minis and off they go, about their days - mostly by foot since everything is 'walk-able' in the little towns.
gosh i miss walking everywhere. especially on the weekends.. the the coffee shop, the bakery and then on to lunch. maybe one day i'll live in a small 'walk-able' town again!

until then, here's to making the most of the rainy days wherever you are :)

recently the lovely ladies at JULEP asked me how i would transition my favorite summer bright color into a beautiful fall shade.. based on some of their 'autumn style shift' and pretty nail polish colors!

this was such a fun 'challenge' - i picked the color that i wear the most in the fall, inspired by college football season of course :) SIC EM BEARS!

CURRENTLY LOVING - BLUSH AND CHARLOTTE TILBURY

1 clare v | clutch // 2 marc by marc | bracelet // 3 milly | skirt // 4 gorjana | earring
5 vans | sneakers // 6 nixon | watch // 7 kate spade | journal  8// essie | nail polish
9 swarovski | warp bracelet // 10 mac | lipstick // 11 kate spade | note cards // 12 rag&bone | jeans

i know fall is just around the corner, and i should be more excited about fall colors, like cranberry, hunter green, and blacks, but i must be needing to get a little more summer color out of my system! maybe it's while the 'tan' is still there, i feel like blush is still ok?!

this weeks 'currently loving' all came together because of this clare v clutch.
i started checking out clare v's collection a few months and have had them on my radar every since! it reminded my of my 'go-to' clutch i got a few years ago while traveling in Australia - its a cowhide clutch, with gold splatter specs on it.
kind of like the cowhide rugs with metallic that are everywhere right now.

staying on the 'blush' tend...
the product packaging for Charlotte Tilbury's make up line is just gorgeous!

wonder glow // the retoucher // beach stick // color chameleon // bronze & glow

have your heard.... ?! 

'The world's number #1 makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury has launched her highly anticipated revolutionary beauty line in the Americas. From her signature cat eye look, to the much hyped ‘Full Fat’ mascara and ‘Magic Cream’ made using her secret recipe – each product is packaged with expert tips for effortless application and transformative results.' -net a porter

 i've heard such great things about this line! can't wait to try them out and see if it truly lives up to all the hype! i am personally not a massive makeup girl - think more along the lines of: i have an under 5-minute routine when it comes to make up in the morning. so when i heard that charlotte tilbury's line caters to the simple, yet beautiful- routine i was all ears!
