the royal treatment

one afternoon in NYC was entirely devoted to beautifying ourselves

if you've never had hair and make-up done for you (which i had not until this) it is quite the royal treatment.

at first, it felt silly

but i got over that pretty fast

it was also a fun way to hang out with some of my favorite gals

(including the crazy in the yellow)

looking too grown-up for my liking

not a bad view to boot

i mean....

the boys dropped by to show off their new duds

i can't get enough of this duo

before. during. after.

why the serious face and mirror-selfie? why? i will never know.

probably because i've never had my curls "set" before.

fancy, you say?

3 beauties before and after all of the doing-up.

ready for the fashion show!
