I am definitely a fan girl of Blake Lively and her stunning head of hair. Not to mention, I’ve always been team Ryan Reynolds (versus Gosling – I know… don’t shoot me). I’ve always admired her work and I have certainly become a L’Oreal fan over the years. In fact, I just featured my new favorite hair styling product from them last week.

I still pinch myself when I see my writing in print – what a thrill. Wanted to share with you my third column in this month’s Oklahoma Magazine. Be sure to check out the full digital edition issue here.
I’m so excited to be on IFB’s Links à la Mode again this week. I am in some great company, especially my friend Hallie’s Halloween DIY ideas! Enjoy the roundup:
Is your costume ready? Are you excited? I’m telling you… I’ve spent the last few weeks honing in on my costume (we’re doing a full-family costume) and nothing gets me more giddy than thinking of playful outfits to wear around town.

Of course, if you’re a Halloween Grinch (Would that make you a Pollyanna? Someone bright and cheery?) we also have some great fashion posts as well. So take a look and get into the fashion spirit!

There was so much fun stuff around the web, that I decided to share a little fall wish list and links on Wednesday this week. Hope you enjoy!
– Lauren Conrad’s bedtime beauty rituals gave me loads of ideas!

First, isn’t this the most amazing bun? I love wearing my hair up, and hope I can perfect this polished but “not too fancy” look soon. In other news, I had an awesome weekend with high school friends this weekend. We celebrated, laughed and caught up. And I was thrilled to be able to share some social media knowledge with my favorite Birmingham entreprenuers. And it reminded me… if you’d like to catch up with me outside the blog, make sure to follow me:
