Hi, gals! Today’s Labor Day parade went off without a hitch. Nobody fell off the float we were towing (always a good thing), and the three-piece blues band was a hit. I was in the passenger seat of the truck, waving to people and throwing out beaded necklaces. Nobody flashed me, thank goodness! 🙂

    Those are some cool pictures…Tiburon is super beautiful.

    Funny, I was just on that same main street a few weeks ago ago volunteering for the Tiburon art Fair. 🙂 Have you been to the candy store? I don’t remember the name of it, but it’s right by that Italian cafe and the Water’s Edge Hotel. Sooo delicious.

    Anyways, Happy Labor Day, and thanks for all the great posts!

      Hi Michaela,

      Yup, I’ve been there. I am guilty of loading up on candy and ice cream there, doh!

    I had no idea that there was a Labor Day parade in Tiburon. How fun! Gorgeous weather too.

      Hi Marisol,

      Yup, this year was smaller than last years, but it was still fun.

      How has your weekend been?

    The only thing about Alice and Olivia is their clothes are designed for girls that are waaay skinnier than me. 🙁 Love the site though.

      Hi Sarahc,

      Yeah, I hear ya. My issue with some clothing lines are clothes that are way too long — it’s challenging finding petite stuff sometimes!

    That looks like so much fun! That’s awesome that you and El Hub got involved in the parade! 🙂

    I am getting hit so hard with nail polish lemmings this fall… it’s not like I don’t have enough, but the gorgeous and unique shades just keep coming! Now I’m lusting after Chanel Jade in the worst way! *Best Homer voice: Mmmmmmm… green and sparkly…*

      Hi Glosslizard,

      It’s been a fantastic season for polish, that’s for sure! I can’t remember a fall with so many interesting and dynamic colors.

      How’s your weekend been so far?

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
