blogging = hard work

i have decided while blogging is really fun... in order to get great pictures/ look good...
it takes a lot of work.  

we had a wedding on saturday and took the following pictures.  it was hard work

to get all the details down.

friday:

mani/pedi after work

saturday:

shower in the am

errands and final outfit touches

getting ready - curl hair and make up

getting dressed - accessories

touchups - perfume and lipstick

and out the door at 5:45

final product

-me nails dress watch lips - vibrant coral
- hubby jacket polo - deep ultramarine pants


there has to be a secret for how all of the bloggers look so amazing all of the time...
i will google "tricks to blogging"

i would say they get ready then change outfits and take several pictures all in one day...
but their nail polish is different so i know it is a different day

obsessed with trish

I recently went to my local Blue Mercury on the hunt for my "summer makeup routine".  It has been hard this year for me to find any makeup I love.  But I just purchased my first Trish planner. 

Trish Planner

It has been a bathroom counter saver.  ALL of my makeup and tools fit in here. What a great idea!  I love to be organized and always found myself digging around in the bottom of my makeup bag looking for different things.  Now everything has a place... obsessed.  

There are some additional makeup items I don't use everyday that I got this cute little makeup bag to store them in.

 I also found one of the lightest foundations and concealer combinations... thanks to Trish McEvoy.  I apply the concealer under my eyes and the foundation everywhere else.
