Hi, girls! Welcome back from the weekend. We spent most of our time trying to get the house in order before the chaos of the week ensues.
1. Friday, I stopped into one of my favorite local stores, Belle Boutique. I could seriously LIVE in that store. I got this beautiful, cream-colored top by OLV with lace detailing at the shoulders.

| Sorry this pic is so huge...no clue why it wouldn't resize in Blogger. I'm sorry, just consider it a "built to scale" model of yours truly. The Deets: Jeans- Forever 21 Top- Belle Boutique Jewelry- Belle Boutique Heels- Target (or Tar-jay if you're feelin' fancy) |
I also bought this adorbs square cocktail ring, along with some gold and pale pink bangles. I thought the entire outfit would be perfect for spring!
2. I also finally broke down and bought a foundation brush. I got the Sonia Kashuk large foundation brush at Target for only $10 and loved the results it yielded : ) I'm also excited that I'll be able to use less foundation than I have to with a cosmetic sponge.

| Using a foundation brush definitely gave foundation application a more airbrushed-like appearance. I like. |
3. On Sunday, Stephen and I got our fittings for the NWA Fashion Week show for Mason's that we're walking in on March 10th. We loved what the fabulous Clay & Courtney (Mason's amazing stylists) put together for us. Come out and catch NWA Fashion Week in all its excitement starting March 5!
4. I attempted to do a video tutorial for the Sienna Miller/Blake Lively updo from the Updo post, but it's impossible to replicate the same every time and really hard to explain as a step-by-step. I honestly think it's just a style you have to play with on your own to recreate. Sorry y'all!
5. I'd like to introduce those of you not from Northwest Arkansas to Mr. Ben Rector. He recently recorded a tribute to Whitney Houston by remaking "I Wanna Dance with Somebody". Check it out - it's beautiful!
That's about all I've got for today.
Couple things:
-My surgery is tomorrow, so I'll be away from blog world for a bit. I'm not planning on checking email for the blog over the next week or so, so please don't get upset if you send something and don't get a response : ) I'll be enjoying the buzz of exquisite pain medications and it's probably for the best if I stay away from the computer, haha.
-If y'all could squeeze in a teeny prayer for me on Tuesday morning, that'd be great.
See you guys on the flip side.
P.S.- Foundation is Dior. Diorskin Forever Foundation. You can purchase here!

You are gorgeous, first off. I love that outfit and I need you to just be my stylist for life...that'd be fab. I loooove Mr. Ben Rector more than anything, he's my favorite. Are you surprised that I know who he is? I've been a fan for quite some time now :) Do tell--I know you have before but can't remember, what kind of foundation do you use?
And lastly, I'm praying hard for you. So hard! Praying for peace, praying for a calm during this time, praying for steady hands and focused minds of the doctors and nurses who will be taking care of you, praying for quick recovery and easy healing, praying for minimal, if no, pain at all. Keep us updated, sweet girl. I love you and am thinking about you!
Love that outfit...adorable!
Will be praying for you, sweet girl!
So cute! I love your entire outfit! So precious! Glad you two had a wonderful weekend!
Praying for you!
And I am going to go buy a foundation brush now!!!
Praying that all goes well!
I just bought a foundation brush, after using a sponge my entire life! I absolutely love it, and will never go back to the sponge. So much cleaner, and a much smother application!
Good luck with your surgery :)
Saying a prayer for a successful surgery and quick recovery!
Also, what foundation do you use? I'm looking to invest in a new brand :)
Good luck tomorrow Leslie! Will be praying for you:)

I love foundation brushes. I don't wear liquid foundation often but when I do and I'm painting my face it feels a little bit like an art project Hope all goes well with the surgery.
Praying your surgery is a success and all goes well!
please don't find me creepy - I just pinned the images of your hair from the front and back because honestly after weeks of searching for the right cut, yours is what I've been wanting. The not too long, not too short - and no tears to be shed if it's cut that way look! :) Just didn't want you to see yourself on Pinterest and be like "THE HECK?"
Good luck with your surgery I will be thinking of you! I know you will do wonderful sweetie. Take care of yourself, get the rest you need and don't fret, we'll all be here when you return. oxoxox
Sending only positive thoughts your way! And enjoy those pen mes! They'll bring you to speedy recover!
