holy moly, me oh my, you’re the apple of my eye…

As some of you may know, that amazing, little song, Home, was the theme of our wedding {side note- It’s also where the paper + styling studio name came from} that was exactly one year ago today. I’m still not quite sure how a year has come and gone but boy has it been wonderful. So today, I want to wish a happy first anniversary to the love of my life, best friend and partner in crime. I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life having this much fun with you…

I will be taking a short little break from the blog during our travels, but I will be back in action with plenty of pictures and stories from the trip. In the meantime, stay classy, healthy and beautiful

Over the past 9 months, I’ve been seeing a lot of variations on the basic bun. From braids, twists and knots, people are getting very creative out there. I’m not sure if it’s the nostalalgia of ballet classes from years ago or what… but one thing’s for sure, the bun is back- bigger and higher than ever.

Now, you might be thinking, how in the heck do those girls get their buns so perfect? Well, it’s easy and you can do it too, I promise! Some of you may have heard of “the sock bun approach”.{Cutting the end off a sock and tucking your pony tail into it as you roll it down to your head.} Easy enough, right? Well,  it just got easier!! Check out the latest from the Wedding Chicks.

It’s official. I’m addicted to the olympics. I have been up way past my bed time every night this week but I just can’t turn away from the TV.

The Olympic games are finally here. I’m so anxious and excited for tonight that I feel like a kid on Christmas morning. Even better… I found this infographic and just had to share it with you.

It’s crazy to think that London has now hosted the Olympics three times! See how the games have (drastically) changed from 1908 to present day.

it’s been a hard few days, well, even months in colorado. Between the horrible fires and the unimaginable and tragic theatre shooting, we all need to show a little love. I am so thankful that I didn’t personally know anyone in the shooting but that doesn’t mean it hasn’t affected me or our city. It’s been a somber few days around here and I want to make sure we acknowledge not only the victims, both fallen and injured, but the many heros of that night so that we can, if at possible, find some happiness and see the good that does exist in people. Take a minute. Hug a friend. Call your parents. Say I love you. Enjoy every day.

What a week. I’m not exactly sure how it’s Friday. I was moving too fast to even realize the days were passing by. The craziness isn’t over yet but at least there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. Luckily, when you love what you do, the craziness is all part of the fun.

Happy Wedding Wednesday! Today, we’re talking hair pieces…
