La Pink Mobile Boutique

Food trucks have been all the rage in California metros for years now, so it only makes sense that fashion boutiques have started to pick up on the trend! 

A hometown friend, Gabbie Biedinger, spent her summer having a box truck gutted and remodeled, and hit the streets of the Central Valley as La Pink just last month. She has already gotten tons of great press and admits this has turned into a far more booming business than anticipated. 

As much as I'd love to keep La Pink as my own little secret for scoring fabulously fashionable and reasonably priced items, I'm too excited for Gabbie's insta-success to not rave about her... and who am I to withhold delicious deals from the masses? You're welcome. 

Here are some photos of La Pink in front of Versailles in Tracy last weekend (shameless plug for my hair salon and the brilliant Kari Potter, holler!). I snagged an adorable blue dress with exposed gold zipper, which I'm planning on wearing to Thanksgiving with my camel colored leather boots.

Flat hair be gone

Kim Kardashian does it... I realize that's not saying much these days, but when it comes to hair, girl gots it! The secret? Clip-in hair extensions. I have several friends who swear by them, but I've never jumped on the band wagon because I already have really long hair. Little did I know, extensions aren't just for regrettably short chops, they also add a ton of volume and can hold styling better than your own hair.

Last Saturday, I stopped by Sally Beauty Supply on my way to Tracy for a trim with the fabulous Kari Potter at Versailles, and picked up some 18-inch dark brown extensions. Kari didn't have to dye them because they're already so close to my color, she just trimmed them into my hair so the layers would match. She made it look so easy! Clipping them in by myself has been a little tricky, but I'm sure it's one of those things that just takes practice.
