Girls Day Out {for YOU Magazine}

Hello friends! YOU Magazine's spring fashion issue is now on news stands and I'm so ready to share all of our pictures from this girls day out at the beauty parlor. On the heels of a girls weekend away, this article had perfect timing! There's something pretty great about girl time and my idea was to inspire our readers to give themselves a little "me" time with their favorite ladies, as it's that time of year when we're all flurrying about in spring cleaning frenzies and throwing all our horrid winter clothes in storage, a pretty warm weather closet makeover (fingers crossed) in the plans. Surely I'm not the only one?! Spring time is a season to refresh our lives and we're eager for the change, so grab your girls and have a "beauty" day whether at the spa for massages and facials or the salon for blow outs and mani/pedis. Do it! ;)

I styled these beautiful ladies in looks from a few of our wonderful local boutiques, namely ZuLou, Wild Ginger and Azure. All must visit spots in Green Bay when you're in the mood for some shopping. 

And if you didn't catch our segment on Local 5 Live (link is up on our FB page, so check it out!), then I'll add that this spring I'm craving color! Beautiful bright color. Sure, I'll never stop loving my chambrays and whites, but there's something uplifting about a pop of color. Makes a girl feel good. Give it a go ladies, and if not on your entire person, then try a bold blouse or a jewel toned shoe. You'll not be sorry. :)

Here's Wendy, looking so lovely in a silk dress from Wild Ginger on Broadway, with lots of layered stone necklaces also from Wild Ginger and wedge shoes from Old Navy. This dress makes me feel like I'm a million miles away, at an island resort, strolling the beach pineapple drink with parasols in hand. Bring it on!

And the foxy beauty stylist above is Courtney LaFave, who is the owner of Village Mane Salon in Vickery Village, our incredibly pretty backdrop. You need to check it out! Such a cool hair salon (I've had several photo shoots here already, it's that good!) and her work is always drop dead gorgeous. Love to you Courtney! (You may even remember her in our Gatsby photo shoot.)

Next up is Jessica, one of my beautiful Pure Barre instructors. Seems that all the girls at Pure Barre  in Green Bay are made for dresses like these which gives those of us sweating and shaking in class some hope for the future. ;)

And that stunning turquoise number and her jewels are from Azure in De Pere. Her heels are from Nordstrom.

And last but not least, this is lovely Hannah (who is another YOU mag contributor actually). She is wearing a white floral dress and accessories from ZuLou, so romantic, and I think this is a dress I could live in this summer. Her gladiators are from Zara.

And there you have it! 

Thank you to Victoria Stencil at Salon 54 for doing makeup. To the ladies at Village Mane for hair. And to Wild Ginger, ZuLou and Azure for providing the looks.
