turquoise and purple


This outfit was inspired by the pendant from my grandmother that I'm wearing.  I've had it for years but hardly if ever have worn it.  I enjoyed the romantic feel of the pendant and my fluffy curly hair.  In my heart I'm a romantic.  

I did my eyeshadow in turquoise and purple.  I did layers with turquoise and a really light/almost white purple to tone down the turquoise, than added a swipe of purple on both eyes.

Late last night I was on the computer and started feeling itchy and hurting behind my left knee.  I jumped up cus it persisted. I ran into my room and ripped my jeans off, yelled for my mom to come in and check my leg. I had a tick biting me. I threw on some loose carpis, my dad came in and removed it with tweezers.   I don't think it was in my flesh long.  I live in Va and the type of tick that was biting me was a dear tick. They carry Lyme's disease. It was God's grace and mercy that I felt it and we found it and promptly removed it.  

I learned that I shouldn't sit on stone walls in our back yard.  I believe I picked it up when my mom was taking my pictures.  She did good didn't she!

I'm driving today to Richmond to go to a really good friend's wedding tomorrow. I just got back Wednesday from New England for a wedding last weekend. I'm thinking about doing a post from the weddings. :) Is love in the air?  I needa get me some of that air....

Eek! Scary about the tick!
Your hair looks so pretty today. I love the curls and how you've styled it.

I've alway been afraid of blue eyeshadow - yours looks fabulous!!!
The brooch is so pretty and I like the layered blues.
