8 Things Every Happy Woman Should Have

October 21, 2013 by robincharmagne 2 Comments

Hello Pretty Ones,
It’s the start of another beautiful week. The weekend was a bit quiet but I did checkout The Outlet Shoppes of Atlanta a huge shopping venue in North Georgia, with all the big brands, Coach, Ann Taylor, Kate Spade, True Religion, Michael Kors, Saks Off Fifth and much more. But what caught my eye was C. Wonder – coming soon! Needless to say, I am eagerly anticipating holiday shopping. On to today’s post which was inspired by Emily from Cupcakes and Cashmere who shared her thoughts on “8 Things Every Happy Woman Should Have” and I thought I would throw in my two cents.

1. A go-to drink.
I’m a southern gal so this beverage is always on the menu

How to make sweet tea

2. Go-to karaoke song.
I’ve never sang karaoke but this oldie but goodie would be my jam

3. A Uniform.
A cute top and boyfriend jeans – perfection

4. A hair stylist they love.
Been rocking braids lately, this spot is open

5. An exercise routine.
I prefer walking 30 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week. A fave app to track physical activity

6. A hobby.
DIY projects, the possibilities are endless with sites like Wander & Hunt

7. A best friend.
The Ethel to my Lucy

8. A sense of self.
I’m a work in progress, getting more awesome day by day.

How would you answer these questions? Does one stand out for you?

OOTD #22 – Flashback Edition

August 28, 2013 by robincharmagne 10 Comments

Hello pretty ones,
The days are really getting cooler and I for one am loving it! Summer is almost over so today’s outfit of the day is a flashback to the summer. I’m rocking a mod maxi and my summer hair at the Maxwell concert in July!

The Details:
Maxi(HSN) – here
Necklace (Urban Peach) – similar here
Sandals (Off Broadway) – similar here

I love the vibrant colors and mod pattern of this dress and it was super comfortable, perfect for an outdoor venue. Fall is my favorite season, but I’m going to miss rocking maxi dresses and sandals! What are some of your summer faves and are you transitioning them to the fall?

Hello pretties,
I hope everyone had a great weekend. I have to tell you lovelies, I’m exhausted. Between a heavy workbench and new projects and an ill parent, I’m beat. Hoping for a lighter work week and just a tad bit of downtime to recharge and regroup. But a short trip to the mailbox this weekend made me smile when I spied that pink box from Birchbox. Here’s a peek.

What I Wore- Hair Edition

August 7, 2013 by robincharmagne 4 Comments

Hello pretty ones,
It’s Hump Day as they say! Never liked that phrase, so I’ll rephrase and say it’s mid-week, two more days until the weekend! Yeah I know I just came back from vacay, but I swear it feels like a distant memory. Today I’m swapping the OOTD for What I Wore – Hair Edition. This post is inspired by InStyle Mag’s Transformation series where we see our favorite celebs hair transformation over the years. Here’s one of the best, Kerry Washington.

This girl’s cheek bones are the truth, always looking feminine and sexy. How does she do it! I love her many hair transformations but these three really work; highlighting her natural beauty, especially those eyes. Did you know Kerry was a Phi Beta Kappa grad? Beauty and brains, gotta love it! Sometimes it’s so boring to wear the same style over and over so we change our hair for a specific occasion or season. Here’s a peek at my transformations this year!

Hair is an accessory and can make or break an outfit, as you lovelies already know. It’s fun to spice it up from time to time.

Do you change your hairstyle often? Do you experiment with color, wigs or hair extensions?
