Seychells and Nordstrom Contest!

Seychells and Nordstrom Contest!

Seychells and Nordstrom Contest! by skwrrl featuring Seychelles Time will Tell Shoes!




I love how versatile these sandals are! For a quick run about town, I love them paired with a colorful pair of skinny jeans and a flowy striped cardigan. Don't forget to pile on the bracelets! For day to day office wear they pair beautifully with a pleated polka dot skirt and a pretty coral blouse. Add a statement necklace to take this outfit to happy hour perfection. Party time calls for a speckled chambray dress,  a bright coral fringed bag, and fun jewels. You will get almost as much attention as the Time Will Tell shoes!


I wish I had found out about this earlier so I could have shared, but this is my entry to win these shoes! Wish me luck!
luv,
Vanessa*

Run My Fingers Through My Hair

 If the phrase "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions." has any truth to it, my intentions are paving the Autobon to Hell. 'Cause I'm going there fast, or I'm paving it fast. Or something...

Anyway. 
I've been meaning to (for a LONG time now) talk up my fabulous hair magician, Tony. He (and the other wizards at Hair Klaudt in Charlotte NC) are the only reason I don't look like I did 6 plus years ago. If I can find some rad photos of my early 20's hair, I'll post them. Let's put it this way, I only had one hair cut at a "salon" in 5 years and it was at a beauty school. Tony has taught me how to properly blow dry, flat iron, and style my unruly quaff. it took him a lot of patience, and hitting me with hair brushes (just kidding) but I now can leave the house with a properly manicured mane. I love the cuts he does on me, and he has an uncanny ability to give you exactly what you wanted translated into how it would look best on you. You can bring him a celebrity hair do that would really be a hair don't and style it to you so you look fabulous. He is a MAGICIAN. Oh, and he's a blast to chit-chat with while he's doin' his thing. 

So John snapped these photos just a few hours after leaving Hair Klaudt, and I though I would post the m to show off some of Tony's handiwork.
