Meet some of my favorite MAC nude shades this week from the MAC Strip Down collection. I’m a bonafide twig expert! — self proclaimed, of course. I have twigs in every pocket of every jacket.

And for more heat-less hair styles for the dog days of summer, check out… Day 1: The Woven Wonder Day 2: Textured, Tousled Waves I don’t know if it’s because I’ve thoroughly embraced the triple “L”s (otherwise known as #lazyladylife), or if it’s because stepping outside right now feels like walking into the world’s largest oven, but I’m super into wash-and-wear hair right now. Beach babe meets laid-back French girl chic, if you please.
