Memorial Day Obessions 5/26/14

Today I am extra blessed because I have my brother, First Class Airmen Evan Plauche, in from Japan. He came and surprised me for my graduation, it was such a special moment for my family. Now he is getting to stay in town for a while before he has to go back across the world and we are enjoying every moment of his visit. It is especially wonderful considering today is Memorial Day.

Here are few of my American themed favorites

• Twist on an American Flag cake

• Adorable American cookies  

•  This gorgeous patriotic table scape 

• Wendy's American outfit 

Be sure to tell those men and women serving and who have served our country thank you. They have given all of us so much more than we could ever repay.

Happy Memorial Day!

What Would Claire Wear: Audrey Inspired

Bonjour my little macaroons! 

I had the most brilliant brunch today with Kyle and Hannah. I couldn't wait to debut my newest obsession, my tea length skirt. 

• Top
• in order to dress down the skirt I wore a simple tshirt that I got at Forever 21. Easily one of the most comfy shirts I own and it's so quirky/fun! 

• Bottoms
• this skirt left me drooling. I stumbled upon it at Express the other day and simply couldn't leave without it. I love how it has such a classic "I Love Lucy" shape but with a modern edge using the sheer panel! 

• Shoes
• just to keep things simple I stuck to plain blush ballet flats. 

• Hair/Makeup
• I wore my hair in a slick Parisian style pony tail to keep the whole look going. Makeup wise I left it pretty minimalistic since it was just brunch. I did a light champagneish eye shadow with a touch of mascara, light rosy blush, and a lip color that is a smidgen darker than nude. 

I really enjoyed the ambiance of this look and I can't wait to see how many other way I can wear this skirt!

Lately

Hello everyone!

I have been extremely busy lately with the school year rounding out. Finals, Prom, Hangout, and with Graduation rapidly approaching I have hardly had time to breathe! Luckily things should be starting to cool down and I will have time to focus on Bows & Bliss once more. Very soon I will be announcing a HUGE project that Kyle and I have in the works. I can hardly wait to tell you all about it!

Hope all is well for my loyal followers!

Can't wait to be nice and dress even nicer for my end of the year events! <3

Current Obsessions 5/5/14

Hey all! I am so excited about the spring/summer season approaching. I am loving getting new fun flowey tops (post to come on Wednesday) and vibrant eye liners. Summer is the time to let loose with fashion and beauty, be adventurous. Search blogs and Pinterest for ideas if you are a little rusty in the experimentation area. Here are a few of my beauty inspirations and obsessions...

Another thing I would like to experiment with this spring/summer is flower flavored things! I am loving these spring flower popsicles. I cannot wait to try them on a hot day. Flower soda's are delicious too, look for them at Fresh Market or Whole Foods.

Flower Popsicles

I am fully embracing the colors and flavors of spring!

Oh, and Happy Cinco de Mayo! (& two year anniversary of my back injury)
