TO THE MAXI

So the last two weeks got away from me so I apologize for my lack of posts, but it feels so good to be back! While I have been away, I tried something that I have always wanted to...extensions. As you can tell my hair is much longer than what they were before. I am still getting used to putting them in but I think the color is a pretty perfect match to mine. They are clip-in's so they won't damage my hair and they definitely give you extra length and volume. I have to play around with them more but I certainly love them.

I love maxi dresses and you have heard me say before that length for me is always an issue. If I am going to buy a maxi dress, I want to to touch the floor and that is not an easy thing to find. But Target came to the rescue. This length is perfect for sandals. I love this look because it is quick and easy and would be great for traveling. Can you believe it's the last day of March?? Ahh time flies!

SPRING FORWARD

I am so excited that Spring is just around the corner. I have never been happier to loose an hour of sleep! The weather yesterday was amazing. I scooped up my sister and my husband and we spend the day going around different spots in St. Louis. We took these pictures by one of my favorite sculptures, the steel animals by The Zoo and Forest Park. I love when something is made out of the unexpected. My Dad owns a pipe and steel company, and my sister makes sculptures out of his steel, hers are not the same as these, but the similar materials hit close to home. Has anyone seen this sculpture in downtown Chicago? That's my sisters! She has a few other pieces throughout the city too, so check them out if your in the area.

I hope everyone was able to get out and enjoy the beautiful weather we had!
