Today I went lipstick hunting for my mother for the wedding we are going to this weekend. First off I want to start by saying my mother has really tiny lips and she never wears lipstick, and when she asked me to do her makeup for the weekend, of course I said yes! But the one thing I was most concerned about was doing her lipstick, so we decided to go to Sephora to see what they could do for her, and that was a fantastic decision, they were so helpful and showed me exactly what to do, I myself don't do anything crazy when it comes to lining my lips or over-drawing them, I just try to stick to my natural lip shape as much as possible, and even though I've seen a million youtube videos about it I still had no clue what to do. So they showed me how to do it and picked out the perfect color that was noticeable but not too crazy. They were so nice and understood exactly when we wanted and were altogether very helpful!

Today I was feeling pretty epic in the outfit I was wearing and with the makeup I had on! So I thought I would share it!

Belle Isle

Today I went to the river with my friend to take some photos and to do a little bit of exercise. While there we talked of many things and saw many things from the past that are more or less permanently there. We went to a little island called Belle Isle which is a popular place for many travelers and students alike in the City. The island is surrounded by the beautiful James River.

The island has been many things through the year including a Civil War prison and later in the twentieth century was turned into a hydroelectric power plant.

With all the old rusted metal and stones all over the place, it is very hard to not think about all the things that went on there. Though while there you always have to look our for all the rusted metal...

While there I thought it would be a good time to start doing outfits of the day.... I don't know what I was thinking I had my friend help me but I had never done any posing for photos, well nothing that wasn't "high fashion". So some of the photos of my outfit aren't really the best but I did have some fun and that's all that matters.

This day we were having another one of those strange temperature fluxes that are common in Richmond, Virginia, so I didn't exactly dress for the correct weather.
