For this weeks photo Friday we are on location at the Nemacolin Castle in Brownsville Pa. We did formal wedding photos here a few weeks ago and thought it was a great location to take a few pictures of us on the job. Wedding season certainly is in full swing and we are having so much fun. I really do love getting to work with my best friend!
Carefree Color Combos
A kimono is the perfect summer piece to have in your closet. I was drawn to this one because of the colors and built this outfit around it. Bright colors are so much fun which is why I am also a huge fan of bright colored pants. One of the best things about fashion is all the fun you can have playing with colors.
Lets talk accessories. Nothing compliments a having-a-bad-hair-day messy side bun like a pretty headband. I have plenty of these for such occasions. These earrings are my favorites. They are Swarovski and are of course from Joyce's Jewelry. This necklace is my own creation per say. You'll get a closer look at that later.
Fast Tip Tuesday
The next time you are doing a little wardrobe shopping keep the color wheel in mind. Sometimes you just look at an outfit and think how fantastic it looks, but don't really think about why that is. The color wheel basically applies to everything in life; clothes, hair, makeup, etc. But, when I was in hair school I really started paying attention to it.
Here is a Fast 101 on the wheel:
- Colors that compliment each other. For this you'll go from one side to the exact opposite. Think teal and tangerine.
- Analogous colors. A mouth full right? But so easy, just pick a color say green like my pants and the color to the right or left. Like my blue cami. Colors that are similar have a very harmonious look.
Perla Blue
Perla is the newest member of The Kilgore Family! On Friday MK and I ventured to Amish Country to pick up this lovable Siberian Husky. We are totally in love! How is Donatella feeling about all this? She loves having someone to play with. Watching the two of them play is absolutely hilarious!
Where did her name come from? Since Donatella's name came from a designer I wanted to find another name that also came from a designer as well. Also one that flowed well with her sisters name. I don't think it's any secret that I'm a big fan of high end lingerie, especially La Perla. But that isn't the only thing. In Italian Perla means pearl, which working in a jewelry store and loving pearls it makes it a win-win!
Here is our first time holding her! I was so excited to get in the car and take her home!
This here is Perla's brother!
Of course we just had to do a Sister photo shoot! Enjoy!
