{Design Darling} inspiration

I love lists, planners, nail polish, and blogs more than normal Americans love a baseball game and a hot dog. And, I may have found yet another career/life coach in Mackenzie Horan.

She has red hair, lives in New York, and writes for Matchbook. As if that's not enough to envy, she also has a fabulous life list: 101things in 1,001 days.

Per her own description, the list is "I am keeping a list of 101 things I'd like to accomplish in the next 1001 days. For me, 1001 days (2.75 years) is a happy medium between writing a to do list and keeping a bucket list. It's a way to dream big and make regular progress toward meeting those longer term goals. Here goes!

{62 complete, 39 to go!}

End date: September 28, 2013"

 

This got me thinking. If I ever want to accomplish all of the things bouncing around in my head, I'll need a list too. I'm currently working on mine and will post when complete.

 

Til then, enjoy her blog, pinterest, and boutique. 

Auburn Adoration

I don't know if it's breaking out the Christmas decor (gingerbread), the premiere of the last Twilight movie (example: Victoria--and by the way I haven't seen the final installment yet), my newly minted "vanilla" skin tone or just my obsession with red hair in general, but I'm seriously loving ginger locks these days. 

Some of my favorite peeps (shout out Jess, Jamie, Weathers, and Ansleigh) rock red hair year round not to mention celebs with auburn hues. I'm too scared to actually dye my hair for fear I'd look like bozo the clown/Skeeter from The Help (not cute), but if I ever did, here's my inspiration:

Fun fact: perhaps my obsession with red hair comes from this supermodel, Cintia Dicker. I first saw her in an ad campaign in seventeen magazine when I was maybe 15 and have been obsessed ever since.

If loving red is wrong, I don't wanna be right.
