True Life: I'm a BEGINNER blogger

This is just my third post, so what better time to introduce myself.  I've tried blogging in the past, but failed miserably.  I probably only posted ten times in a year.  Not a very good start.  This is my "second chance" blog.  I like to think I will focus on fashion, beauty, and shopping.  I am an attorney by day.  Not much room for fun fashion and creativity in my profession.  So, I created this outlet to post my obsessions and interests.  I have been chosen to guest blog for Nosey Parker.  In that role, I shop local boutiques in my area (Oklahoma City) and then post about fabulous items that are on trend and fashion forward in order to promote shopping locally.  .

So, let me start over.  Hello!  I'm Kari. I hope you enjoy the eye candy I post, and I look forward to any and all feedback.  I thought it would be great to join this link up I found on Fabulous but Evil to try to jump start my blog.  Welcome.  Enjoy.  Thanks!

Now that you know who I am....check out Fabulous but Evil and Mrs. Monologues and all the other great bloggers that linked up with them!

Hair Tutorials

Joanna Goddard from A Cup of Jo has posted some great fun hair styles with corresponding tutorials.  I have a pretty boring hair routine.  I almost aways simply shampoo, blowdry, and straighten my shoulder length hair.  I would love to get a little more adventuresome and mix it up a little bit.  I tired some of these styles recently, but I have found that my hair isn't quite long/thick enough to look right.

These tutorials can be found here here and here

With the temps over 100 degrees for the last month, an fun updo would be great way to stay cool.  Unfortunately, a bun on my head is a sad, tiny little thing that looks more like a child's bun.  I will continue to search for an option for those of us with thinner hair. 

I want that!

I've had my eye on the American Apparel Carry-All for a while now.  I first discovered it on Blair Eadie's blog Atlantic-Pacific:

I can't decide what color I want.  I want a neutral, but was trying to stay away from black.  Perhaps one of the dark browns?  I've searched Etsy and found a few similar options.  I just can't seem to pull the trigger on it.  I wish I could see it in person first.  Check out all the options here: American Apparel
