color block party

watch:fossil rose gold watch, bracelets: anthropolgie and forever 21

I love color, I especially love lots of color all smooshed together in one outfit. Therefore I love color blocking! Not that long ago I would have never put all these colors together but, at one of my favorite salons I worked at (1688 in walnut creek), my boss Kandace would always put together the best color combos and it gave me the confidence that I too, could be cool like her! What about you? Do you love lots of color in one outfit? Or do you prefer the monochromatic look? p.s. if you do, you don't have to wait long, that look is coming tomorrow!

Rebekah and I 

 My mom, sister, sister in law and I went to high tea in Niles canyon to celebrate a belated birthday for my sister, Rebekah, who moved away from me to Austin (I might still be slightly bitter). After we drank delicious tea (black currant is one of my favorites, sub note: I never commit to a favorite anything, if I ever accidentally say something is my favorite I mean it's one of my many favorites, you have now been warned) we went shopping at a few of the cute antique stores and then stopped at some old train cars to snap some pictures.

Today is the day! The very first day of February and the first day of the instagram fashion challenge! If you don't remember what the prompt was for each day you can see it here, or follow me on instagram. I love jeans, especially these which are perfectly warn in and slouchy in all the right places. These are fun to pair with just about anything but I especially love putting them with my cut off cowboy boots and an easy breezy top. The hat (which was a total steal at cost plus of all places) was a fun addition and gives it some playfulness. I hope this inspires you to have fun with your closet! 

Welcome to glitterlocks!

I'm so excited for this first blog post and for many more to come. This very first post is to get you amped up for my February instagram challenge! Now, for those of you who don't know what an instargam challenge is, don't worry! It's super easy and it will be fun, I promise. For each day in February you will have a prompt that should inspire your outfit/shoes/makeup/state of mind for that day. Then, you take a selfie (or sometimes, in my case, I force my 7 year old son to take them, I know, child labor laws are not in effect at our house) and post it to instagram with the hashtag #dyttype1febfun. When you want to see what everyone else has posted for that day, you click on the hashtag link (it should be illuminated in blue on instagram) and you can comment and encourage others in their fashion challenge-ness! You can follow me on instagram here if you would like, and you can share this with anyone you think would like to see or join in the fun! Now you might be wondering what in the world the hashtag #dyttype1febfun means. I'll give you a short version for now, but I plan on doing a post in the future about dyt, or dressing your truth. And no, I do not work for nor get paid in any way to endorse it. It just think it's pretty dang cool, and since I found out that I am a type 1, I'm all about it! SO, if that whets your appetite, you can find out what type you are here. Here are the challenge prompts, have fun!
