Mossimo Wedges

4 comments

Right before I left for vacation I ran into Target for some quick bathroom supplies. Of course I had to browse the shoe section while I was there (real quick) and I spotted these beauties!



The shoes were only $19.99 but I feel like they look 3x more expensive. On Targets website they have a tan color as well which I didn't see in the store. I may have to order them. Here is the link to the shoes on Target's website if you like them as much as I do! What do you think?

Michael Kors Rose Gold Watch

3 comments

So as some of you know, I just got back from a cruise to the Caribbean. Aside from the beautiful water and great weather, shopping is something you have to do while there. Well, let me clarify, duty free shopping that is. I have been on the hunt for a rose gold watch recently and I couldn’t decide if I wanted the Fossil version or the Michael Kors version. Fossil’s version would set me back $95 while the Michael Kors version would cost me $250. As soon as we arrived at St. Thomas I hit the streets on the hunt for rose gold. Barely any stores sold the Fossil version, so Michael Kors it was. Most of the stores would only take off 10% but I was hoping to find a better deal. One store promised me 15% but when we arrived they only ended up having the rose gold watch with a white face. Although it was pretty, I much preferred the fully rose gold watch.


Finally on our way back to the boat I strolled into one last store, which had the watch. I tried to get more than 10% off but they wouldn’t budge. As my father and I headed out of the store, they called out and asked, “How will you be paying?” We replied “cash” and so they gave us 15% off!

My final price for this beauty was $212, no tax! Not too shabby! I literally can’t get over how unique this color is and I recommend to everyone that they at least try it on at the store! Don’t yell at me if you end up loving it and walking home with one for yourself!

Rachel Roy Drusy & Crystal Ring

1 comments

While browsing the net the other day I came across Rachel Roy's website. I really liked some of her pieces and poked around the website. Thats when I came across these beauties.

Say hello to the Drusy & Crystal Rings:






At $42 I don't think they are priced too high. The teal/copper ring is my favorite....but I'm also liking the black. Kind of reminds me of rock candy on my finger! If you like what you see you can get one here. While you are there check out some of her other pieces...very stylish/edgy.

What do you think?

Tucker for Target

1 comments

WOW. Its been a whole month since my last post! I apologize, I just started student teaching and its taking up A LOT of my time! Anyways, now that I am student teaching, I need work appropriate clothing. So no more low cut shirts or leggings for me, its time for big girl clothing! lol. And mostly, I am on the hunt for dresses. Easy to slip on in the morning and run out the door! So when I heard that there was a new designer series coming to target with a ton of dresses in the mix, I HAD to check it out. And I'm glad I did!
I ended up picking up 2 of the same dress but in different patterns. I absolutely love the fit and they are perfect with or without stockings and a pair of boots!

and my fav...

I know the blue pattern is sold out online so run to your nearest target and see if they still have it! They retail for $39.99 and most stores seem to have limited quantities!
Did you pick up anything from the tucker line?!

Paul Mitchell Super Clean Sculpting Gel

0 comments

So I have naturally curly hair that needs to have product in it to look good. But when it comes to hair products, I am quite picky. When my hair is curly I expect the curls to be soft and perfectly sculpted and thanks to Paul Mitchell, I can make that happen! I have tried many brands like Deva Curl, Garnier Fructis, Aussie, Bed Head, Big Sexy Hair, and random drugstore brands but NOTHING compares to this gel!



If you are looking for non-crunchy, soft, natural looking curls, I totally recommend you at least try this gel! Once you fall in love with it you can pick up the huge bottle like me! It will take me a long time to go through all of this gel and the pump is SO convenient! Definitely gets an A+ in my book!

Polishes

3 comments



I recently picked up a few nail polishes and I thought I'd share them with you all! First up is Sephora's Myrtille. I LOVE the color, but the formula is quite thick and semi hard to work with. Also, the polish started chipping the 3rd day with even with a base AND top coat! Next is the almighty Chanel Jade look a like, Milani's Dress Maker. Personally, I don't think the color is THAT great. It's quite subtle and soft, but I guess that's just not my style! My favorite of the bunch is Essie's Sew Psyched. It is the PERFECT military green for fall nails. It photographs darker than it actually is, but trust me, its gorgeous!

Here are the swatches. From left to right- Dress Maker, Sew Psyched, Myrtille.(Don't mind my smudged middle finger!)

CCO Haul

3 comments

It has been my mission to hunt down any CCO that is within any sort of distance of me. Whether I'm on vacation, taking a day trip or just in the mood to shop I make it a point to find the nearest Cosmetic Company Outlet. I'm pretty sure I've been to 4 different CCO's within the past 2 months! lol. So sad. Anyways, luckily I've come across some great finds!

Ever since I got a hold of the Dirty greasepaint stick I've been hunting for more. The CCO's are great place to find them because you a) get them cheaper and b) find colors that have been discontinued. I picked up Lucky Jade (light green) and Taupographic (brown/golden). I also have been loving Estee Lauder lipsticks. They have great color payoff and are very moisturizing. I picked up Honey Rose (coral/mauve) and Perfect Pink (semi-bright pink). The two MAC eyeshadows are Smoke & Diamonds (shimmery grey) and Mink & Sable (golden green). And let me tell you I am OBSESSED with both of them. They even look great when you wear them together! Lastly, I picked up my first MAC dazzleglass. The only reason I bought this color (She-Zam) was because it reminded me of the Sparklicious dazzleglass that sold out from the Alice & Olivia collection (which I totally wanted!).
Here are the swatches!

From Top to Bottom:
Smoke & Diamonds- MAC Eyeshadow
Mink & Sable- MAC Eyeshadow
Taupographic- MAC Shadestick
Lucky Jade- MAC Shadestick
Honey Rose- Estee Lauder Lipstick
Perfect Pink- Estee Lauder Lipstick
And on the far right of my hand....
She-Zam- MAC Dazzleglass

Here is a comparison of Estee Lauders Honey Rose and MAC's Jazzed. I LOVE Honey Rose because to me, is 10x more of a wearable coral than Jazzed.
Honey rose is on top & Jazzed is on the bottom
