My Favorite Brunettes :)

I have dyed my hair brown after years of being different shades of blonde!

Here are a few of my inspirations!

My all time favorite brunette is Zooey Deschanel.

Her style.

Her makeup.

Her quirky-ness!

I also love Kristen Stewart! She might not be the most amazing actress in the whole world, but she is a girl-next-door beauty! Her long dark tresses are very iconic of her most famous character Bella Swan. I really like the "undone look" she portrays!

Emily Blunt is....STUNNING! Not to mention she is married to Jim from The Office! She has a graceful presence about her. Her dark hair is a beautiful contrast to her ivory skin!

So here are a few of my favorite brunettes! They are my style icons! Hope you enjoy!

Music Spotlight-->The Civil Wars

The Civil Wars are my new music obsession! Not only do I love their music, but I love their style!

Here is the official music video for my new favorite band, The Civil Wars. They are really amazing! The band is comprised of Joy Williams and John Paul White. Their sound is hauntingly beautiful and I can't wait until they come out with their first full album! Barton Hollow is being released on February 2, 2011! SO soon! They have some free downloads available on their Myspace music page. Check it out! You won't be disappointed!

Owl Always Love You

I am not sure what is going on right now, but owls are popping up everywhere! I have seen many blogs about them as well! I like to think that I loved them first, but that's just silly! I truly have loved them for a long time! Being a lover of Harry Potter has only strengthened my love for owls. It's my turn to show off some cute owls! Some are just adorable pictures, some are things I want to buy, and others are things that I want to make!

Adorable Owl Pictures

I love all of these! The second picture posted is probably my favorite because it is the picture that is on Harry Potter's wall!

Owls I Want to Buy...Really Badly! :)

This owl clock is so cute, I can't even stand it! It would look cute in any style of room! (littlewillow.com)

Subtle owl jewelry is very fashionable right now! I have an owl ring that I just love, and and long chained owl pendent. Both are super simple, but so cute! I can wear them with every type of outfit!

Last but not least....my absolute FAVORITE owl themed item:

This owl purse (compliments of Kate Spade) is so chic and trendy! I love it! Anyone have $400 laying around? ;)

Owl Crafts

This owl pillow seems simple enough to make! Mixing up the patterns would be a fun way to make each pillow unique!

I love this homemade costume! It is simple and cute! Just a bit more fabric and you could make an adult costume!

This owl garland is perfect for any occasion!

Well there you have it...my two cents on the whole owl subject matter! Hope you enjoyed!

Starting Out

Cold weather has officially arrived! Thanksgiving is tomorrow, and Christmas is literally just around the corner! I love this time of year! The food, the smells, and the lights are all so inviting! I also love the fashion of this time of year! Layering is a simple way of making a cute, simple, and WARM outfit!

Here are two examples (courtesy of anthropologie.com) of how tights, sweaters, and scarves polish off this warm winter look. Don't forget the boots!

This time of year is also filled with parties! Who doesn't love a holiday party spent with family and friends? A sweet t-length dress is just the ticket for a festive Christmas party! Here is my personal favorite!

Here is a close up of this fabulous pattern and ribbon sash!

Pair with a fitted cardigan for added style and warmth, and a pair of heels to finish off the look.

More holiday splendor to come! Stay tuned!
