Graduation 2016

Memorial Day officially marks the day I graduated from high school 11 years ago (eek!). Whether you're graduating from high school or college, let me say CONGRATS!

Lashes


I recently decided to bring the BFP signature look to life by getting lash extensions.
It's something I've wanted to do for a while, but was waiting to find someone I could trust
and someone whose work was flawless. That led me to my girl, Abby. If you're in the Nashville
area, go see her! She's the best.
(615. 370. 7041 x 206)

I'm already obsessed with them and can't imagine NOT having them at this point. They're perfect
for summer when I wear less makeup (because it's so blazing hot). They make you feel put
together without having to wear a full face of makeup. 




Lash extensions or not, everyone needs to buy this Bottom Lash Mascara by Clinique
It's genius! It gets all those little lashes and makes your eyes truly pop. Ten bucks well spent.

If you're not ready to take the plunge into lash extensions, try some of my favorite mascaras 
below. I was a Lancome Definicils user for years and recently made the switch to Dior Show
Both are great for length and volume. 

Side note: if you have lash extensions, no mascara is needed. It takes one step out of my 
daily routine which is always a plus!

Another cute bride & groom...

Alba

An engagement at Disney's Magic Kingdom deserves a custom illustration, 
especially if the fireworks go off right on cue.

Gennaro

and then the groom wanted in on the fun...


Congrats to these two!

30th Birthday

Happy 30th Birthday to this lovely client! We wanted to include everything from her favorite champagne to her beloved pooch. She's dressed to the nines, of course, so matching notecards were a must.

Happy Birthday!

2016 Graduation Gifts, pt. 4

Consider this the grand finale, or everything else that would make a genius graduation gift (in my opinion). Pick anything from my list below and you're sure to be the favorite at the party. 

Whether it's a sophisticated handbag to look chic in the workplace, a comfy pair of sandals to make the trek across campus, or something in between, let's congratulate all the graduates of 2016!! 


Don't forget to throw in some notecards (available in both Blonde and Brunette) so the grad can thank you properly for your perfect gift! 

Shop the rest of my gift ideas below (including some ideas for the gents):

2016 Graduation Gifts, pt. 3

Technology, technology, technology.

Whether it's a brand new laptop or a more compact iPad, it's the gift that keeps on taking. We can't live without our handy devices though, can we? 


If you're considering gifting something tech-related, tie the Tech Girl Winks on the outside as a sneak peak of what's inside.

2016 Graduation Gifts, pt. 2

Big things come in small packages, right? 
Or should I say expensive things come in small packages. 


One of the most common graduation gifts is a piece of jewelry. Let's be serious, I don't think any girl would complain about receiving new jewels. This one applies to guys, too. With a handsome watch, who wouldn't want to step into the college world (also applicable to those stepping out of college and into the workforce).

(For her: don't forget a luggage tag that looks like her! I tie mine on the outside of gifts as the actual name tag. Double usage because she can then use it as she travels to school or in her post-college travels)

2016 Graduation Gifts, pt. 1

Ahhhh the dreaded graduation gift season. I always struggle with great gift ideas for the grad. You want to give something useful and practical, but something that's not too boring. 

It was pretty much the gift of Christmas 2015, and I think they're still on the top of everyone's list. 

Give the gift of a S'well bottle


They come in so many great colors and patterns, you can't go wrong. I bought two for myself, one medium size (17 oz) and one larger size (25 oz). 
(Fun fact: the 25 oz bottle holds an entire bottle of wine)
If the price tag scares you away, S'well has created an exclusive collection for Target that is a bit more budget friendly (and also available in plenty of color choices). 

Don't forget to tie a graduation Winks on the outside for an extra personal touch!

Met Gala 2016

The Met Gala is something to look forward to each year. It celebrates the debut of the new costume collection. So it is, for lack of a better term, a couture costume party. Designers arrive with their muses dressed in their take on the theme. "Manus x Machina" led most designers to heavy metals, silver beading (see Kim Kardashian, Cindy Crawford, Jourdan Dunn), and other tech-inspired elements. An early favorite was Karolina Kurkova in Marchesa. It was, however, Zac Posen's night. His creation for Claire Danes basically broke the internet. It had my Cinderella-loving heart beating abnormally fast because she stepped inside and the dress was glowing, as in glow in the dark. What?! I died a little bit. 

It also gave me the perfect opportunity to experiment with my new black paper...



See all the red carpet arrivals here.
I also love Vogue's exclusive gallery Inside the Met Gala 2016


I also came across Zendaya dressed in a lovely Michael Kors gown that was quite stunning.

Pink Orange

The temperature is warmer, everything is in full bloom - it finally feels like spring is here to stay! It's that time of year where it can be quite warm during the day but there's still a chill in the air at night. Wearing bright punchy colors in longer lengths is the perfect choice...
