So Pretty

Ok, so I realize that this post isn't of anything specific whatsoever, but I've been LOVING these two looks this week. I keep peeking at them and am totally in love with the dresses, hair, make-up and clutches. Both looks are just divine. I want to try and copy both hair-dos too with al the weddings I have coming up, if I get it right a post will definitely be done!

Beauty Inspiration: Carrie Underwood

Curly golden locks, long lush eyelashes and glossy lips- my beauty dream come true! I'm seriously in love with Carrie Underwood's beauty and hair! I've kept a couple of these images saved for possible wedding day looks too.

Carrie always has the right amount of a smoky eye and her skin always looks as though it's glowing. Her eye look is always warm and never overdone. I think she definitely has some of the best faux lashes in town! They're never dramatically fake or spidery long, just full and soft.

Let's not forget that she always has plenty of volume in her hair, which I just love. Her hair always looks so touchably soft. Her side pontytail always reminds me of how romantic the look can be and not childlike in any sense. It's the perfect solution to wanting an updo, but still having hair to frame your face.

  

What do you think of Carrie's beauty routine? Do you love her looks? What about her hair? I bought MAC Pink Swoon blush after hearing that she wore it on her wedding day and love it! I've worn it nearly everyday since I've bought it. See my review here. I think Carrie is going to be my new muse for the year, I am seriously just in love with her entire look. It's so feminine, polished, and warm. What do you think?

Nude is the New Black

Nude mini dresses were a huge hit last night at the American Music Awards and they'll be seen all winter long this season. Nude works for all skin tones and hair color, but make sure not to be washed out with pop of color, either your accessories or lipstick. Make sure to wear nude shoes to really elongate your legs. Too shy to wear an all nude outfit because you feel naked? Start with just your lips or nails! My faves are MAC lipstick in Hue & their lipgloss in C-Thru, but some foundation & clear gloss work just as well!
Here are a few affordable ones:

Quick CMA Beauty Round-Up

Jennifer Nettles wins best dressed....by a landslide. CMA attendants- please hire a stylist. I must say though, there was quite an improvement from previous years.
LeAnn Rimes- This is a definite DON'T. What were you thinking?

LeAnn, I suggest you hightail it over to the glam squad of Carrie Underwood. Doesn't she always just look gorgeous?

Oh and dear Taylor Swift, I love you, but you need to switch it up. I'm ready to see you with pin straight locks.
