mGa: Getting Beautiful

We did it! 5.10.2014 came and went. It was the most magical, perfect, beautiful day of my life. I've been getting a lot of questions about what my day was like, who my vendors were and what were my favorite parts of the day. I don't want to overload you with details, so once a week {or let's be honest, when life allows - we close on the house we built next week!} I'll be posting about our wedding!

First up: Getting Beautiful.

Maggie Kerr of Wide Eyed Beauty

I knew that hair and makeup were going to be a huge part of my big day. I needed to feel beautiful and confident. I wanted to look like me, just a better version. I partnered with Gina and Maggie of Wide Eyed Beauty, they are both Ford makeup artists,to make my hair and makeup dreams come true. They 500% exceeded my expectations.

Maggie Kerr, kindly gave me a list of her must-haves for my bridal look!

-Laura Mercier Primer

-Cle de Peau Concealer

-NARS Pressed Powder {to keep shine down}

-NARS Cordura duo eye shadow {Maggie used about five different shadows, from different brands on me, NARS Cordura is a great one-stop-shop to get a similar less intense look}

-Laura Mercier Crème Liner in Noir

-YSL Waterproof Mascara in Black

-NARS Mata Hari Blush

-NARS Casino Bronzer {I use this everyday!}

-MAC Pearl Cream Colour Base as a highlighter {the best highlighter because there isn't any pink or orange in it like the majority of other brands' highlighters}

-MAC Dervish Lip Pencil

-NARS Sweet Revenge Lip Gloss

I have started wearing the Dervish and Sweet Revenge combo on a daily basis. The lip pencil acts as a stain. It's feminine, beautiful and perfect for work!

Florsheim Shoes {closed}

Thank you to all that entered and congrats to EMMA for winning! xo You know when you first meet a handsome boy, in my case it was a bar, and everything about him is near perfect. His chiseled features, dark shiny hair, and stunning light blue eyes. Then you look down, and gasp, he's wearing sneakers. Not your run of the mill, fashion forward footwear, but we are talking Nike, Adidas, etc. running shoes. He's wearing them in a bar, with jeans, and a polo. If you're anything like me, the only times tennis shoes are acceptable are on the elliptical machine or running a half marathon. This boy turned out to be the love of my life, and with little resistance I was able to turn him into my fashionable sidekick. With a little help from Florsheim you can take your Valentine from sorry to sexy with a pair of shoes courtesy of this luxury brand. I've put together some inspirational looks for you. Just remember, you may not able to c...

caged in.

If you follow me on Instagram you've seen these flats pop up numerous times. I own them in nude and red, and to be 100% transparent just purchased a replacement nude pair. While they aren't the gorgeous $900 Valentino Rockstud Cage Flats , I could care less, I bought them because I LOVE the style. I wish I could make myself spend $900 on shoes; however, at this point traveling, decorating my new home and investing in my future are more important. I can't have it all! Those of you with Rockstuds : Yes, I'm jealous. If you'd like the link to these shoes, they are so comfy, follow me on Instagram and send me a direct message - @McKerihan . Please note: I know there are many that have very strong opinions about knockoffs. These shoes do not bare the Valentino tag, nor do they replicate the exact design. They are simply 'inspired by'. If you're wearing anything from Forever 21, Old Navy, Gap, even lower priced brands from Nordstrom chances are your...
