Not that I am a vixen, I simply needed a title for this post, ok? How the crikey do bloggers decide to title their posts? Usually at a loss, I choose the fifth, random, screwy string of words that come to mind. Hence Vixen Eyes. Hey, I could have been pompous and titled it "World's Most GORgeous Eyes". Be verrrrry thankful readers. 

I need a pick me up some days with wedding and moving plans going full throttle. Less than 30 days and my new address is New York City! And I am sooo over this long distance relationship with Mr. Parks.

Until next time!




Je m'appelle Mollie et j'adore le colour rose. Something like that.



I have been obsessed with pink of late, which is the strangest peculiarity because I turned my nose up to  it most of my life. It's probably due to five brothers and now that I am older and allowed my own opinions (however girly), I am taking a stand for pink. I am a color lover so how is pink any different? I paired my obnoxiously swell lip color {exhilarating by Stila} with this casual tee and jeans just to spice up my day.

Fashionably Late

I'm back! Well in a month or so I can be back officially. This year has brought trials and tears and a lot of laughs and blessings too. One month from today I will call New York City home (about time!) and will have been married for about 24 hours to my best friend. I'm looking forward to the the new life!

I never had the courage to make a post whilst this year whirled by and I regret it slightly, but no looking back. Here's to the future of Style of Your Own. She's coming back full force.

Until I can post regularly, please join my fun on Instagram [styleofyourown] and Pinterest

What wedding planning {sort of} looks like:

1. Abby loves cats so of course she picked up the stray to join the shoot.
2. Beautiful lady on a rock. 
3. Teal eyeliner on the bottom lashes and cameo earrings.
4. Behind the scenes action. Mallory at work.
5. Cotton field fairy.
6. Dreamy cotton field setting.

Mallory and I collaborated (again!) for a cotton field shoot and boy, was it delightful.  Tramping through the field to the cotton, deciding we would say Tom gave us permission, should anyone question us. "Tom said we could!" Suddenly Tom became the funniest joke in the history of jokes. Now I can't remember what last name we gave him.  Maybe Abby will remember, she's my "memory" after all.

NWAFW-She Said Yes Bridal

I had the pleasure of working behind the scenes at NWA Fashion Week for the She Said Yes Bridal Evening of Couture show. Working for SSY has been a grand adventure and learning process for me and Friday night's show was STELLAR.

When I told the ladies at the front I was supposed to be backstage, they asked me if I was doing hair for the shows. I was totally flattered!

Unfortunately my camera died after only a few shots, but here they are:

NWAFW, yellow tunic, gray boots, wild hair
Cell phone picture. Better than nothing, am I right? I loved wearing my London
class project tunic and La Roux inspired hair.

The show was a splendid success! I adore the behind the scenes hustle and bustle and the mad scramble before the models hit the stage. I was on my knees pinning the front hems on gowns so they would not catch on the rough stage material. It was a funny sight I'm sure. 

Thanks so much for everyone's help and all the laughs! We SSY ladies love what we do : )

Cheers,

Molls
