Yay! I was recently interviewed for an article on Top Fashion and Style Bloggers In Austin for Culture Map. They incorrectly tagged my primary blog as The Style Co-op (a blog I do co-write) but very cool nonetheless.

I was recently sent the Garnier BB Cream in Medium/Deep to review. I have always wanted to try using a tinted moisturizer and this one claimed to be a great one-step product but I was not impressed.
**Warning: Horrible No Makeup Pictures Ahead!**
I found the Garnier BB Cream in the Medium/Deep to be a poor fit for my skin and my makeup routine. The cream smelled nice but that’s where the pros ended for me. I was very excited at the possibility of combining my moisturizer, concealer and foundation application into one easy step and was disappointed when the coverage from the Garnier BB Cream was subpar. As you can see in the pictures above it only covered portions of my face.
In addition to not being a good color match, it did not give me adequate coverage. It left my skin splotchy as though I had nothing on and didn’t help even out my skin tone. At the same time it also left my face slightly oily. The cream was very heavy on my face and I found that irritating because it felt as thought I had a lot of makeup on…and yet my face felt exposed. I considered putting on another layer but it was already so thick I just wanted to take it all off.
All in all, it will certainly not replace my usual makeup process – all those steps provide results and I’m happy to do them for the coverage.
Loving my new blush pants from Trina Turk. I’m sure I’ll be wearing them everywhere this summer but they will work well year round here in Texas.

How cute are these birdies??
Hair courtesy of the always classy Blo Dry Bar! I was invited to another very fun media event at Blo on Fifth Street and enjoyed it as always. Best of all, I was told their 2nd location is opening in the Domain! I actually squealed…I am so excited! It was always worth the hike but I love that I’ll have my favorite place in a more convenient location. Love you, Blo!
P.S. They have locations nationwide. What are you waiting for?
Wearing pastels as part of this month’s theme for EveryBody EveryWear. Love the shape of this dress – so unique and forgiving, yet subtly sexy.

Nothing much to report. Just a boring old married lady here with a zoo. Luckily for me, we always have plenty of reasons and occasions to get dressed and go out….otherwise I’d be covered in fur all the time.

Our place is a ZOO and I love it! I also love that I married a man who enjoys it as much as I do and supports my habit.
