Gold Foil Embellishment – Pumpchic

Who says halloween has to be all black and orange?? I decided to take halloween and chic-it-up! With a little creativity and pattern play, I was able to take the boring pumpkin and make it a ‘pumpchic’. I coated the pumpkins with spray paint, and hit up a craft store for fun supplies. I chose gold leaf, giant sequins and a black & gold sharpies. The designs are endless, so let your creativity soar and enjoy this fun pumpchic diy. xo, Emily

ATTEN…TION: military green, olive you. In Arizona, October is really just summer wrapped in a month disguised as fall, to the rest of America.

My fave transitional color to take summer into fall is olive green. Check out my favorite looks, to style a faux fall wardrobe. xo, olive juice

Fall Hair Trend: Brûlée.

Posted on September 8, 2015 by armpartycentral

Hello September! Sure, I haven’t been a student for years, but I still get that twinge of excited anxiousness for the ‘first day of school’. As a child, the looming first day always meant that I would be getting a new haircut (unfortunately for me, it was NEVER good). My school photos are what hairdressers nightmares are made of. Tragic proof below. Anyways, the hair gods finally heard my prayers, sprinkled miracle grow on me as I slept (I’m assuming that’s how it works) and this is what I’ve been blessed with! But, with summer turning to fall, I want to take my sun kissed, summer beach waves and Brûlée it! Fall hair should be as warm and rich as a pumpkin spice latte. Here are some looks I’m obsessed with. Stay Tuned for my summer to fall hair transformation.
