she’s kind of a big deal. people know her.

In case you didn’t know….I kind of love Will Ferrell.  A lot.  And Anchorman is my all time favorite movie.  But the real reason I posted this video was not to profess my adoration for Mr. Ferrell, but to create an appropriate segue to introduce a lovely lady who is also “kind of a big deal”.  

Meet my friend Austie Eckley.
Isn’t she beautiful?   Aside from being gorgeous, she’s also ridiculously talented.  Austie is a hairstylist, makeup artist, etsy artist and a stylist extraordinaire….and a busy, busy lady!

If any of you are getting married, you MUST check out her gorgeous hair pieces.  Glamour Magazine just included three of her pieces in a recent article!  See…I told you she’s kind of a big deal :).  Here are a few of my favorite pieces from her collection:

Hope you enjoyed meeting my talented friend!
