RANNIE BALIIAS

FEATURE FRIDAY: CHRISRANN JEWELRY

 Hi guys!!! incase you missed it the first time i wanted to re-introduce y'all to one of my best friends in all the land. Rannie Balias. when we were just 16 years old i knew this girl was going places! she's one of those friends that actually follows through with her dreams and doesn't let anything stop her, always coming up with amazing ideas, always traveling, always doing, always inspiring, and always a huge support and biggest fan of her closest friends. in other words she is freakin kick ass! pardon my french! but she is!

- why the name? CHRISRANN
CHRISRANN is a combination of mine and my sister's names (Christina + Rannie). Anyone with siblings knows how parents like to call you every name before your own whenever they're angry.

- one thing in your closet you treasure the most.
New York is stupid hot right now, so getting dressed has been an uneventful poop show lately. Essentially, anything that is easy and breezy is pretty much all that's in rotation. But be sure that when I slip into heat comas at my desk, I'm 100% daydreaming about denim and leather.


- what are your top 3 albums right now?
Because I work from home, I get to listen to music all day long, and as loud as I want! HA.
I usually just set my itunes to random and let her rip--that way I get to enjoy more of my library. BUT if I'm having to choose...I'd say that I've been putting a little extra love into Beach House, Oh No Ono, and Aaliyah.


- what's your signature look?
Girly Tomboy.

- what would your friends say about you? 3 words.
Driven. Loyal. Bossy (when drunk).
What would YOU say??
hmmm. i (Brandi) would say all those things and more. Strong. Organized. Crazy Talented.


- any fashion advice?
A black pug is the perfect accent to any outfit (besides CHRISRANN, duh).


- what is your favorite chrisrann piece?
I never ever ever take off my Spartan Wraps!

snooki wants a pickle.

have you ever had trouble opening up a jar of pickles? jelly? anything? well here we are at rannie's house trying to open up a jar of pickles.... we should of exchanged this jar a lot sooner but we waited like 4 hours to do so...and the store is just across the street! maybe we were just determined! i think it was super glued shut. seriously. the guy at the corner store couldn't even open it and he was totally embarrassed when he couldn't make it budge.

Jesus, plaid, and brown paper bags




I can not wait for tomorrow! We are throwing a party for my love muffin(its his bday on halloween) at my cousin Taylor's house. And guess what? i still don't have our costumes! eek. We spent the night at Tay's last night so that we could decorate the house and get things ready and we ended up staying up til 4 am having the best time!
This morning came fast....boo. I had the longest day at the salon but i enjoyed it bc i have the coolest clients! im relaxed and all clean now bc my hubby had a boiling hot bath with candles all over waiting for me to soak in, while he made me dinner. He even made me a lil relaxing playlist. THE BEST EVER!
 Now its time to put together our costumes! We keep changing our minds so wish me luck:)








Picture 1.  i love the art cars especially this Jesus one! Rannie's saying a lil prayer for you!
Picture 2.  Suzie Q came by to hang with us while we were decorating and she had the EXACT shirt my cousin Taylor had. crazy bc they are thrift finds:)
Picture 3. Ginny and Ash helped me cut faces out of these brown paper bags.
