Guest Post: Nadia of Nadia Shea

Hello dears! While I am out of town for two weeks for job training, I have asked two guest posters to fill in on Fridays. Today, Nadia from Nadia Shea is guest posting about what inspires her! Nadia and I are from the same part of Arizona, and we've run in the same circles for a while now. I am happy that the Internet and blogging have brought us closer! Have fun reading her pretty post, and check out her lovely blog when you're done! <3 Kristine

Hello Lovelies!

I am fueled by my passion for the world of beautiful design. My love for design started as a young girl. Growing up we didn’t have much and thrifting was less of a hobby and more of a necessity. Life can be surprising and it turned out to be such a blessing! I gained adoration for all things vintage and eclectic. I remember as a small child my grandmother would sew swimsuits for my sisters and I. She would adorn them with buttons and ruffles. She once surprised us with matching, thrifted faux fur coats. She showed us that you can be fabulous with little money. She has been an inspiration to me all along.

After High School I wasn’t quite sure what career path I wanted to pursue. I knew that I loved fashion and design, but I really loved making people feel beautiful. I decided to become an Esthetician. Ever since then I have been a make-up artist, Liposuction assistant, Laser technician, and more. I enjoy connecting with women and helping them discover the beauty from within. I love helping them discover and play up their best features.

This is my beautiful friend Aubrey, she was kind enough to let me do her make-up for her special day.

I started my blog as a way to catalog my favorite designs and to share them with those that I love. I share many images of quirky interior design, beautiful weddings, and colorful floral design. I recently created an Etsy shop, fae forever, where you can browse through my favorite treasures and make them your own. It’s brand new but it’s a start! I sometimes share photos and updates from my personal life as well.

When Kristine invited me to guest post on her blog I decided to share with you some pretty summer designs in my favorite color palette.
