Why Don't You...?

… cast thoughts of bad hair days to the wayside, and allow your luscious locks to fly freely in the cool breeze? Take heed of Kahlil Gibran’s words, dolls; “Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.”

…slip into the Shoshanna Daisy Garden Bikini you’ve been harboring in your dresser drawer and run through the sprinklers in your front yard?

…be Barbie? Darlings, Barbie is a gorgeous individual who can be anything she desires; therefore, emulate her. Allocate the use of dramatic fake lashes; slick on Lime Crime’s Countess Fluorescent Opaque Lipstick for that perfect pink pout; and wing your liner in a way that would make the Blonde Bombshell herself proud! Don’t forget the black pumps; I believe Louboutins are in order.

…find a sunny spot in your bedroom, kick off your Pelle Moda Yaritza Platform Wedge Sandals, and take a catnap in the middle of the afternoon?

…put on your Elizabeth and James Juliet Dress, take the hand of a cute boy, and spend the day at the fair? Fluffy pink cotton candy for dinner and multiple rides on the carousel are, of course, a necessity!


Fashionably yours!

  2. I love the picture.
    I think it's hard to become Barbie although we can try.

  3. Fabulous ideas, Erika. Louboutins are always in order for me, but I cannot much longer ignore that I need a haircut... flying in the wind or not ;-)

  19. Ahh, I love the Barbie comment! So many think the concept of Barbie is sexit but I like how you draw on the fact that she has had over over a hundred different jobs! Not to mention an enviable wardrobe... sigh.

    ReplyDelete

  26. Ahhhh, I love this! Barbie is the greatest individual EVER because she can do anything. Come on, she's gorgeous PLUS she can be President, a flight attendant, and a rock star! Furthermore, I'm absolutely in love with the Juliet dress... I featured it and Emily did such a lovely C&C post on it!

  27. The Juliet Dress is amazingly beautiful... if only I wasn't a college student and had a good paying job... It's definitely an inspiring dress though. I'm definitely going to be on the lookout for a version that's within my budget.
