Its FRIDAY!!!!! We made it through the week! I know the week after a holiday is always tough! But we did it! So first a HUGE thank you to this months #TheMessyProject girls! I couldn't have asked for a better group of girls this month! Even though they were all nervous about the shorts, they all went outside of the box, tried something new & they all looked fabulous! So thank you Chantelle, Shanna, Alison & Jenna!
Also thank you to everyone who left sweet comments & defended the anonymous 'hooker' comment. And to that anonymous person - thank you for leaving your comment - you brought a shit load of traffic to my blog....& just so you know I live about 45 minutes from Hollywood & as they say in Hollywood any publicity is good publicity. So thank you for helping me out!

Don't you just love Pretty Woman?! Such a classic.....& speaking of pretty women, today I have a blogger whom I just adore. She is such a sweetheart & so so supportive of MessyDirtyHair. She has been on the blog before, so this time I thought I would have her talk about her new shop since she sells such cute stuff that I know you will all love. If you have yet to follow her, seriously do it. She's wonderful. So without further ado meet
Hey everyone! It's me and I'm back and being messy! This month on Eloping Stethoscope, I got a bit overwhelmed and didn't post as much as I wanted to, but don't worry, I'm going to be posting a lot just as soon as my semester is over and you are not going to want to miss it! If you didn't catch me last month on Kelly' blog, I'm Paige and I blog at Eloping Stethoscope. I live in Memphis, TN with my shiny new husband and I'm in nursing school, striving to graduate with my bachelor degree no later than Dec. 2013. I hope to work in Labor and Delivery when I graduate. I hope you'll join me on my blog to hear all about it!
Why did you decide to start making and selling jewelry?
I started making jewelry a long time ago because I have really small wrists and sensitive ears and a lot of the cute jewelry at stores like Forever 21 were impossible for me to wear. I've always loved crafting, so I figured, why not? Then my friends starting asking me to sell it an the rest is history.
What is your favorite piece and why?
I have to say it's probably the birds on a branch necklace, the never never give up bracelet or the live your dream bracelet! I also love the hair ties that I make.
How do you manage both your shop and being a nurse?
Well, I'm still in school, but I imagine it will be a lot easier being a nurse and managing a shop because when I'm actually working as a nurse, I won't have to worry about studying all the time! Right now though, I make a lot of pieces and then list them slowly or I make pieces that I can easily remake and make them as the orders come in, if that makes sense.

hello loves & how are we today!? So I am wondering, what are your thoughts on customer service? Coming from Nordstrom we are taught customer service is EVERYTHING so I expect to have good customer service when I am out. However, the other day at Starbucks was a different story ----> I was about the 3rd person in line. Only one person was behind me. Its the holiday weekend so everyone should assume its going to be busy. They only had 1 girl at the register & she was new. Which was mistake #1. Do not train new people during the busy times.
There was a mom & daughter getting rang up & they were buying a ton of Starbucks stuff. The line started to get longer. There was 1 person making drinks & 1 person taking orders. Mistake #2. When you see the line starting to get long & stop moving, you need to stop taking drink orders & help on the register. That did not happen. So while this line was getting out of control.... (I understand when it's busy but trust me the line that started to form was getting bad)
The people at the register buying all the stuff were making things difficult for the new girl on the register by paying with different cards. The man in front of me was yelling about his sandwich being cold. People behind me were getting out of line & leaving even though their drink order was already taken. I could tell things were escalating.
I know everyone who works at my local Starbucks. I mean, I go there enough it's bound to happen. So while all of this commotion was going on I called in the back for the assistant manager. I told him that this line was getting out of control & that someone had to come out & help on the registers. Seeing that I was right, he told the drink taker to get on registers & he helped with drinks. The line finally started to move & things got going. However, I thought it was bad business that I had to say something to a manager about what he needed to do to get this line going & calm all the angry customers.
So after getting my stuff I left Starbucks, got in my car & closed the door when all of a sudden the mom from the Starbucks line who was buying all that stuff - comes up to my window, looks at me & does the 'you're crazy motion while mouthing you're nuts'.....then continues to get in front of my car so I can't drive anywhere. I was appalled. So I'm nuts because I spoke up & asked for more help but she's not nuts for waiting for me to leave Starbucks & come up to my window. It would be one thing if I actually said something to her & her daughter in Starbucks, but I didn't. I didn't even mention them.
So of course I got out of the car & mouthed off a little, because the bitch would not move. It really was bizarre. Thankfully she finally moved & I drove off. But I couldn't believe what I had just encountered. Can you? Has anyone else dealt with this kind of behavior before?

okay so moving on from the craziness, today I have someone very special for you to meet! I have been a fan of her blog for awhile & I can really relate to a lot of things she writes about. She has a fun & sassy personality that just draws you in & makes you want to be friends with her. She loves to shop & loves fashion. Plus she has a super cool job & I like to think of her as Elle. Wondering what I'm talking about? Well without further ado meet
Hi ya’ll! Uber excited to be coming to you from Kelly’s blog today! I’m Lynn and I blog over at Illegally Blonde! I am a self-professed Elle Woods. I am a blonde, ex-beauty queen, turned litigation attorney. I live in Fort Worth, Texas and love my TCU Horned Frogs! I blog about life as a young associate who is balancing work, life and being a wife!
Kelly posed some great questions to me so without further ado:
If it was my last day on earth, I would max out my credit card on shoes and purses, and eat a bite of every flavor of cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory!
If I could have one super power it would be bionic hearing! I’d love to know what goes on beyond closed doors in this office.
Hmm, one thing you don’t know about me…. I have my black belt in Karate!
So….. a good attorney knows two things:
1. Where the closest Starbucks is
and
2. How to apply makeup in under 5 minutes!
That’s why I’m offering you all a $25 Starbuck’s giftcard and $25 to Sephora!!! (I cannot live without either.)
Have a splendid day y’all and come check me out!

Not only is she an amazing buyer because everything in the store is fabulous, but she's also a great friend with a huge heart. & then Haley & I at Lincoln Street. My sister even came back for the event.We ate, we drank, we shopped! It was the perfect holiday kick off! \  |

| Pic on the left is my telling my sister, "ok no more pictures!!" hahaha I kept my outfit pretty basic - black poncho, black leggings, knit hat & you can't tell from the pictures but it's sparkly & I finished off the look with these fabulous new boots I scored at Target!!!! Fun Fact: Target had their Black Friday deals out a week before actual Black Friday - remember that for next year. So I am super excited about this purchase because to be honest I never find amazing shoe deals at Target. Every time they have something fabulous I am too late, so because I did my black Friday Target shopping BEFORE black Friday I was able to score these babies -----> |

| Black short boots with a glitter back - yessss please! |
Its your last day on earth - what do you do?
I would spend every second with the people I love. I'd take as many risks as I could and face all of my fears.
What is the story behind your blog name?
I wish I had an interesting story behind my blog name. My blog used to be "Barbie Girl" because everyone used to tell me I looked like Barbie. Then I died my hair back dark and decided I needed to change things up and make my blog more about my life and all of the many endeavors along the way.
Whats one thing we don't know about you that you think we should?
In general, the one thing I wish people knew about me is there is so much more than meets the eye. People often tell me they're shocked at how different I am from who they thought I was because I "look like a mean girl".
