This is the last day of my country-theme week, and I couldn’t think of a better way to end than with fringe fashion. It’s very in this season. How much fringe you flaunt depends on whether you want to go for a subtle country style, or all out. I was obviously a total country girl with this ensemble. My fringed …
Throwback Thursday to my Vanderbilt time when going country was a daily occurrence. With the CMA Music Festival running today, June 11th, through the 14th, about 80,000 people are converging on my old stomping ground. According to Billboard magazine, country music is America’s most popular genre. And the country vibe is everywhere in Nashville. So regardless of whether you are …
It’s been awhile since I’ve done a comedy sketch, or returned to the country roots I put down while in Nashville. It just so happens that this week I received a request to do a Meeting European Men skit, and country music aficionados are holding their big music festival. So I’m combining the two by doing a Euro men sketch comedy …
My country-themed week continues, and today I’m showing how to get Miranda’s hair in Little Red Wagon. Big thanks to Mollie from Mollie Michelle Boutique for helping me make this Insta vid. https://instagram.com/p/3uJkyqCfN0/ When you watch, you’ll see that with each section of hair, Mollie first clamps the curling iron around it at the base of the head and pulls …
With the CMA Music Festival kicking off a summer full of fests, I’m everything country this week on my blog. Today is all about the sassy Miranda Lambert. If you think you can ride in her little red wagon, think again. And if you’re a Miranda fan, like me, then you know exactly what song I’m referring to. Unfortunately, I …
I had fun with my editing program overlaying images of blue sky, clouds, and palm trees for today’s theme of fashion, foliage, and sass. Something about the weather warming up always entices a girl to head out in shorts and a carefree top. This blouse by ASTR is what I call Stealth Sass. Sections of it are sheer, but they’re …
…is not for the faint-of-crowds—at least, not in the summer of 2015. Since the dollar is about 25% stronger than the euro, U.S. travelers are expected to flock to Europe throughout the coming months. In fact, the onslaught is suspected to be so large that some museums and landmarks are putting a nix on selfie sticks, hiring crowd-control specialists, and …
We’ve all fallen in love with this romantic song by Ed Sheeran, and the dance that he and Brittany did in his music video to Nappytabs’ choreography. It’s hard to imagine that Ed had never danced before—he was a show-stopping heartthrob! Now you can learn the same routine. Ballroom instructor, Pablo Orejuela, teamed up with me to break down some …
Most of us have one. A friend of mine is so strong that she could play a superhero. She has entered triathlons and hiked Kilimanjaro, but she still harbors a girly pleasure. Hers is hair and, believe me, she’s got gorgeous locks. My indulgence is nails. I’m a devotee of Julie, the Polish Queen. She’s on top of every nail …
Happy Monday, everyone! Although we’re back at work, my mind is still on the weekend. In Waikiki, weekends are filled with festivities, weddings, and fireworks. Sometimes the fireworks are related to an event, and sometimes they’re just because…. Well, it’s the weekend and why not have fun?! I filmed a few for you on my phone. https://instagram.com/p/3ZZ_90ifM_/ One of the …
Okay, not really! But if you can’t get poolside with the designer in person, the second best option is to wear one of her creations. I love this bathing suit of hers. Sometimes, I find that the most flattering suits feel like armor. They suck me in here, push me up there, and pretty soon, I realize that in one …
That is what Hilton Hawaiian Village on Waikiki reminds me of. When I first visited this place as I kid, I felt like the Village was a world in and of itself, and it still is. Nestled at the ocean’s edge, it’s great for swimming, surfing, SUP exploring, lounging, and people-meeting. It has restaurants—some with music and dancing, lawn parties, …
When it comes to dancing, there is no trouble getting people to move to this fun tune by Iggy Azalea and Jennifer Hudson…and you can learn their moves here. To recreate the looks of these performing bombshells, here’s my beauty trend tutorial… https://katherinechloecahoon.com/iggy-and-jennifer-hudson-tutorials/
If you’ve seen this dynamite duo performing their hit song, Trouble, you may just have trend envy. So today, I’m telling how to get Iggy’s hair, plus these alluring ladies’ makeups. For Iggy’s look, begin by combing your hair into a high ponytail and curling the ends. To secure the ponytail, split it in half, side-by-side, and pull firmly near the elastic. To …
…is a time to remember that achieving peace and preserving freedom is worth every valiant effort. I managed to touch down in Honolulu among my business travel. Waikiki is a happy, international melting pot where vacationing sun-seekers form friendships on the sand. It’s hard to believe that 73 years ago, 2,400 American servicemen were killed here in a surprise attack …
