Beautynthebaby|Gender Reveal Photos

Untitled


Hey Beauties!

About 3 weeks ago, we had my bestie Aleysha come over and do some simple gender reveal photos for us so that we could share the sex of the baby with our family in a fun way. I would have LOVED to throw a party, but pretty much my entire family lives in Massachusetts and and my husbands family is smaller and spread out all over the place.

For weeks I looked on Pinterest getting ideas for the photo shoot, there were sooo many cute and creative ideas on there. Honestly, since baby, Pinterest has been my guilty pleasure- especially for the baby room design.

I had some that I really loved, I'll show them below- but I knew that they were going to be a little more involved and prying my husband away from the TV during Sunday football was not going to be easy.
So, my final decision was to make it as easy and painless as possible and focus on the baby shoes. My husband for the win.....I was happy with the results! 

Anyways, here are the photos from the shoot!!

Have any of you done photos like this during your pregnancy or plan to? It was really fun and I feel like I've found the importance of capturing these moments because I want my daughter to have them forever!

Fall Beauty Trends 2013

Untitled

Fall is upon us beauties- and I could not be more thrilled about it because this is my favorite season. What's not to love?!? Pumpkin errthang, berry lips, and dark nails.....I literally just shed a tear of joy just thinking about it (come on...you know I bring the dramatics!) Anyway, I just wanted to share with you beauties some of the latest fall trends I am obsessing over.

Meet Matte

Back like he never left....and maybe he didn't, but I'm actually a newbie to this trend! This was my first thought because I already planned my first fall manicure to be of the matte kind! I skipped it last year because my nails boos didn't get a matte top coat until Spring. Check out my super on trend fall mani below along with some other must have matte manicures. I am in love!!!

I am seriously so in love with these manis...I might have matte nails all fall!

Brights...for Fall?!?

Um, yes hunny! Don't pack up all your summer lippy's and neon accessories just yet! There is a place for them this season and I must say, while l LOVE darker colors this time of year, this is a refreshing twist on fall beauty. My recommendation..keep the color matte for a more "fall" fit.  Say it with me now...pop of color!

Geometry just became my favorite subject!

Nail art has been my ish this year! While I love all the nail bling that people have been sporting, it does not fit into my day to day. So, I have stuck to a simpler form of nail art. Geometric nail art is a fall trend that is right up my alley!... and I must pat myself on the back because I have been rocking this trend for awhile. Here are some of my favorite nails designs! Get inspired beauties!!

How fun are these...and this trend allows you to get creative...there are NO rules!

Braids...trend or year round staple?!

I'm going with the later! This trend never dies, which makes it a staple. One I can't live without, I am not so skilled to be able to carry out some of these gorgeous looks (you guys saw my fingers in my 50 random facts video..) but I'm fine with that. Me and my fishtail always make the cut! Here are some fall ready braided styles...enjoy!

The Eye of the Tiger

Well the eye of the cat...tiger...cat...same thing! Anyways, chic cat-eyes are IT for fall and I'm LOVING IT! They can be simple or intricate...where ever your skill lies....this is a fall beauty DO. So, DO yourself a favor and get to practicing.

Oxblood

No fancy title needed...this is my FAVORITE fall color, for the 2nd year in a row. Last year I wanted anything and everything in this gorgeous hue. I'm going for a repeat this season- from nails to lips to clothes- oxblood is a must in your beauty (and fashion) routine TRUST me on this one. BONUS- it looks amazing on every skin tone.

The Minimalist 

This fall trend is perfect for those who are on the go. Bare face and color on the lips. Pair it with a bold brow and you are RIGHT on trend. Now keep in mind, healthy skin is the key ingredient to pulling this look off, so you may want to use the money your saving on face products and invest in some quality skin care products...just sayin....
