I went shopping with my mom this weekend. I haven't gone "shopping" in so so long. I usually go, get what I need, and leave. I actually took the time to look around and just shop for once. I went to Forever 21. I used to get all of my clothes from Forever 21 because I used to work there! As I've gotten older, I've found myself hating it. All of the clothes are too cutesy for me, and don't even get me started on how much I'm currently not on board with 80% of the trendy clothing (I'm saving that for another post).
After buying two nude bras, and a nude bralette, I finally bought something. For $8 no less! Worth every penny.
Does anyone else hate the "navy and black don't go together" rule? I will wear it together until I die.
February is gone (holy *&%$). It seems a bit crazy, but I haven't even noticed. School makes all the days and months just blend together. "What? It's February? I don't care. I just know that I have an exam at the end of this week that I am not prepared for."
I wanted to do all beauty things, but I decided to give a bit more variety.
#1 Bite Amuse Bouche lipstick in Meringue
I bought this mini lipstick in a set with Bite Fig. I originally had this idea in my head that I hated nude lipsticks. Boy, was I wrong. I bought it because I wanted Fig so badly, but I figured buying the mini for cheaper would be a good way to try it out. In the end, I loved Meringuemuch more than Fig! I think I'll begin to like Fig as the weather gets warmer. For now, it's much too peachy for me. I'm such a fan of Meringue. If I run out, which it looks like a real possibility, I'd repurchase. The scent is lovely, and it's the most comfortable lipstick I've ever worn.
#2 NARS Velvet Matte Skin Tint
For this past year, I thought that NARS Sheer Glow foundation was my end-all be-all of foundations. It was. I've recently run into some real oily skin problems since starting a new skincare product. Nothing will stay on my face. It just melts off, Sheer Glow included. I was majorly bummed. So I decided to pick myself up the NARS Velvet Matte Skin Tint. It's perfect for my oily skin. It applies so nicely, and it gives me that perfect coverage that I need. It also contains SPF, which is a huge plus in my book. I've been wearing it non-stop this month. It's been staying on my face pretty well even without a primer.
#3 Scatter dot H&M Dress
Funny story. Last month my brother-in-law got married up in Calgary. I had the cutest dress to wear that flatters me really well. As soon as I unpacked I realized that I had forgotten my dress hanging up on our curtain rod. I put it on there so I wouldn't forget it.. well I did. I didn't have a dress to wear! I had to go to the mall and buy myself a new one (oh darn..). I ended up purchasing this adorable dress from H&M. I've worn it as many times as I can since I did. It worked out for the wedding, and now I have a fabulous shift dress will slightly flared sleeves. Two thumbs up! I bought it in a couple sizes up to lengthen it so it is a bit too baggy, but I love baggy clothes..
#4 Baltic Amber candle
With spring around the corner, the candles I tend to gravitate towards contain more light scents. My favorite candles are the deep, woodsy, musky scents that I burn constantly in the winter (Blake loves these, also). We recently burned out all of our woodsy candles, and so I found this older candle I got years ago. Baltic Amber! It doesn't even come in this packaging anymore, but it smells so good. I've been burning it everyday, and I can't get enough. We'll definitely burn it out by this next month's end!
#5 Father John Misty
Have you guys heard his new singles? They are on repeat in my apartment. His voice soothes me. I'm so stoked for his new album next month. I'll be listening to it non-stop.
Oh, hey, it's me. Remember me? I forgot about you. For a long time. Apologies. No excuses. I just got busy with my new school career (Go Wildcats!).
I did something a little drastic this week feeling like I needed some kind of change. I've been very frustrated with my hair lately, so I chopped it.
TA-DAH!
I feel like I just lost five pounds. I'm completely in love. The biggest drawback; I have to actually do my hair in the morning. When my hair is long, I can not even touch it and it looks fine. Well, I thought that. Then I took a look in the mirror one day and just mumbled, "Man, I really need a haircut."
As Coco once said, "A woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life."
