I Feel Pretty

Greeting Fashion Bloggers!
It has be an eventful week filled for me! I have continued to practice my lash curling and masscara application techniques. I making smashing progress and I have to report that despite a less than thrilled first impression of diorshow masscara I must admit I am in love! Since changing up my application technique I am seeing my eyelashes stretch on for miles! Not only that I love the finish that diorshow leaves while you lashes are thicker and darker you can hardly tell that you have masscara on. So definitely go out and get you some!


This week I also spent some time putting together a few new outfits and my new fav are pleated skirts with pockets. Just love them! Whether highwaisted or not they go great with soft silks or long tanks. Right now I have my eye on a blue and white seersucker which will be paired with a soft white cotton scoop back tee. Simple but girlie I know but who doesn't want to feel beautiful? Check out some of favorite skirts of the season!

Weekend Musings











Happy Monday Bloggers (or sad Monday depending on how you view a Monday morning)!

Well this weekend was an eventful one for me from a fashion standpoint. I was too cute Friday with my razor back tee flood pants and a short sleeved shrug/sweater. During this period I have continued to work on my masscara application technique and I must admit that my diorshow is growing on me. But you know what they say about first impressions!

Saturday I attended a wedding and it is so beautiful to see two people so in love join hands in holy matrimony. The colors were a soft peach and gold the flower arrangements were simply lovely. Speaking of lovely I was lovely in my navy and white peasant dress (the wedding was at 2pm so completely appropriate attire) with white flats and match white bag. I cannot tell how much I adore dresses! This summer my goal has been to only wear dresses simple and uncomplicated. Shifts are my favorite folllowed by t-shirt and peasant dresses. Shorts and tanks can often times leave you feeling constricted and conscious of making sure your bra (or having to cosntantly adjust your strapless bra) isn't showing or constantly remembering to suck in so that the tummy looks flat. LOL! However with a nice cotton blend dress like a shift dress there is no need to worry about all that. You are free indeed to let the tummy hang a little since the dress isn't form fitting who will notice? Sleeves are in style with these dresses so your regular comfy bra or a cami will work wonderfully. Lastly the look is so completely feminine that it makes you feel pretty and put together while little to no effort is even required. Okay is it clear that I love dresses? LOL!

Enough I digress! Now Sunday did find me lounging in a pair of short shorts coupled with a long old navy tee with some flops so these items can be comfortable as well as long as you pair them correctly. Short shorts should be followed with a top that doesn't reveal the navel or show to much skin up top to keep the look from looking too club-hopper-ish. Trust me just having bare shoulders is enough to bring the sexy back without having to show everything the good Lord gave you.

And that is how my weekend went according to fashion! Stay tuned for more! And the meantime check out some of my favorite dresss by simply clicking on the pics!

PS...


Old Navy with every purchase is giving out $10 off (with a $50 or more purchase) coupons valid beginning July 18th so hurry in and save!

A day in the life of....

Yesterday my plan was to stop at Sephora to reload on my favorite D35 compact powder by Sephora and to pick up some tanks from Old Navy.



First stop Old Navy my initial plan was to get a brown tank to replace one I had previously purchased and somehow gotten a mysterious and unremovable oil stain on. If you have not purchased one of these Old Navy long tanks you absolutely need to do so and now is a good time since most of the ribbed tanks are going for $5.00. When paired with a cardigan, vest, or blazer you are sure to look fabulous whether at the office or at play. I ended up not only getting the brown tank but also a pepto pink one to go with my cute orange cuffed short that I got from Forever 21 for just $9. Bright colors go well with one another under the right circumstances.




So on to Sephora I go and alas! They were completely out of my D35 compact powder which means a trip to the Galleria Sephora for me this weekend (yuck). However in lieu of my powder I purchased the renowned Dior Diorshow masscara in black. Every fashion mag out raves about this masscara and all the top makeup artists use it on models during runway shows (hence its name). I was excited to see what all the hype was about as to me isn't all masscara the same?



This morning during my routine makeup application I opened up my Diorshow and proceeed to glide it on to my freshly curled (with Shu Uemura eyelash curlers) eyelashs and then...NOTHING! No noticeable difference than the supposedly crappy Clinque brand I had been using before. I was distraught upon consulting my fashion stylist as to what could have possibly have happened I have been informed that my application technique is lacking and needs improvement for me to be able to see a real difference. This is totally believeable as it has taken me a month to successfully and expertly learn to curl my eyelashes. So stay tuned as I continue to work on my eyelash application. But in the mean time check out my latest faves by simply clicking on the pics!
