The Quintessential Summer Look: Beachy Waves and Coral Lips

birchbox:

Summer is, without a doubt, my favorite time of year. I hate being cold (which obviously means I’m no fan of winter) and I love being active outdoors—a far more pleasant prospect when there’s sunshine and warmer temps. 

Another bonus? Come May, I can finally ditch the blow dryer. When it’s cold, I have to thoroughly dry my hair before stepping even a single foot outdoors because I get chilled so easily. But as soon as the thermometer jumps above 70 degrees, I let my natural wave come through by air drying.

I went to a wonderful wedding this weekend and saw such a cute guest book idea. Each guest does a thumb print and signs their name. You can do all different colors of ink or just one.

Such a unique idea for assigned seating, just use doilies and have your calligrapher write each guests name. Thanks for this idea Martha!

Cool idea - wedding websites beware!

DIY Neon Toe Shoes

(via greenweddingshoes.com)

Materials:
• Nude Patent Pumps – These from local DSW for $40, but here is a great pair for $34 from Steve Madden that would also work great
• Pink Fluorescent Neon Spray Paint or even better Floral Spray (color even less likely to chip!)
• Packing Tape
• Old Towels (to protect your shoes when you spray)

Tape Shoes. First you’ll want to tape your shoes. The area you don’t tape is where the color will be. Tape the rubber sole also because you want a nice, clean finish. You don’t have to tape the inside of your shoes, since we will cover them with an old towel.

Next cover the shoes. Take them outside and spray 2-3 coats on the shoes. Also seal the color with some type of sealer so it lasts longer. This one works well.

And that’s it! You are done. :) The hardest part is making sure you do a good job taping, but otherwise, so easy. Take off the tape and enjoy your fun new shoes!

Love this idea to revamp old shoes!
