Friday Fun: Top Bits to Read and Watch…

TGIF, amirite?! Things have been so hectic for Jules and I recently that we haven’t really had the time to post as regularly as we normally do. Regular programming will resume shortly, we promise! In the meantime, because it’s Friday (and no one really works on a Friday…do they?), I’ve put together a little list of all the posts and videos I’ve enjoyed recently – have a read/watch and it’ll be 5pm before you know it. You’re welcome!

Donatella Versace Sunbaked Smoky Makeup, by Sam Chapman of Pixiwoo

Not a fan of Donatella (I mean, who is? The woman IS leather – gross), but I really loved this look. In the words of the Dowager Countess (Downton Abbey), “nothing succeeds like excess” – perfectly illustrated here!
