Butterflies and Moonbeams Giveaway CLOSED

CONGRATS TO TIFFANY C. AND JESSICA M. FOR WINNING!




I'm pretty much in love with the photos of Adrienne above. The vintage, ethereal vibes are delicious. She looks like she stepped out of 1954. Or better yet, I imagine her exploring a fantasy land. Like the Labyrinth. Except not scary. In the last photograph, she's tip-toeing up to a lone buttercup, which was overflowing with beautiful fairies. The tiny winged creatures saw her and flew off, leaving a trail of glitter into the woods. And she knew.

"There is such a place as fairyland -
but only children can find the way to it. And they do not know that it is fairyland until they have grown so old that they forget the way. One bitter day, when they seek it and cannot find it, they realize what they have lost; and that is the tragedy of life... 
On that day the gates of Eden are shut behind them and the age of gold is over. Henceforth they must dwell in the common light of common day. Only a few, who remain children at heart, can ever find that fair, lost path again; and blessed are they above mortals. They, and only they, can bring us tidings from that dear country where we once sojourned and from which we must evermore be exiles.   
The world calls them its singers and poets and artists and story-tellers;
but they are just people who have never forgotten the way to fairyland." - L.M. Montgomery 

Please take me with you, Adrienne. Let me live in that magical world, too.



The gorgeous coat my fashion queen is wearing is from Butterflies and Moonbeams. You will want to check them out if you dress your little girl in nothing but lace and ruffles on the regular like I do. Adrienne pretty much has no choice. Luckily, she's down with it.



Now for the giveaway! Butterflies and Moonbeams and Coffee and Cashmere have teamed up to give TWO lucky people a chance to win an adorable outfit for their little princess. Up for grabs is a spunky lime green with black polka dots dress or a leopard top and bloomer set! These both are a size L, which would fit about a 24 month old. If you don't have a pretty pretty princess to stuff into one of these, the outfits would make a great baby shower present. And everyone and their momma's are having kids these days. CLOSED

I Fell Asleep Amid The Flowers

So, today I was reading in an old Glamour mag and came across a new nail polish technique. I tried it out and loved the result. If you have some shimmer powder laying around, this is for you. 


Pick out a nail polish color of your choice. Me? Revlon in 'Twinkled Pink'. Get a jar of shimmer powder and a makeup brush. I used some ancient Jane shimmer in 'Plutonium' from the early 2000's. What am I doing with ten year old shimmer powder? I. Have. No. Idea. I also used my Sonia Kashuk eye-shadow brush.

 Paint two coats of polish on each nail. Dip the makeup brush in the shimmer powder and tap the brush over a nail. Repeat until you have each done. I blew my nails to get the excess shimmer powder off, then let dry for a bit. I topped with a clear coat. Hey-oh. It looks like a tiny pixie sprinkled fairy dust on my nails. You know the kind that live in buttercups? Those flowers that close up at night to house the fairies? No? Just me? O. Good.
