{Wild Berry} Suede Shoes

I ordered these pretties from J Crew and am so happy I did! I woke up to a cardboard box this morning, and instantly knew I had little choice but to tear open the thing like a little kid on Christmas. I teeter between a size 6 1/2 and a 7.  I took Chloe's advice and went with the larger size and my feet thanked me! They feel perfect!

I can't wait to play with them :) Outfits to come...

Happy September!

Makeup Collection

When I first started my blog, I was obsessed with posts about everyone's makeup collections. I can't believe I have never done one, but then again, I think my collection is rather small in comparison to most I've seen. I have decided to show you mine because for the first time, I'm extremely happy with what I own. I think I have a really good mix of brands and colors. Of course, I always want more when I'm out and about doing some shopping, but I do try to take inventory of what I have before I make a purchase.

This is a clear storage container from WalMart. It sits on a white wooden vanity I got from Target.

Top drawer - blushes, powders, concealer, and my foundation (I still use MUFE Mat Velvet +)

Second drawer - eyeliners, miscellaneous eyeshadows, and a mini UDPP.

Third/Last drawer - Lash curlers, mascara, and other miscellaneous things. Looking at this now, I think I need to organize it more efficiently! I see there is a lot of wasted space!

This is one of my vanity drawers and it holds my eyeshadows as well as my highlight powders

Lip products. The little leopard holder is from TJ Maxx

Makeup palettes. UD Naked is my most used.

Lastly, this drawer holds q tips, makeup removers, moisturizers, and my Sonia Kashuk blending sponge. It is the only way I apply my foundation.

If you have any questions on specific products, feel free to ask!

Grey tee - H&M, Skirt - F21, Sandals - Target, Necklace - LOFT, Ring - Franchescas, Nails - Chanel Riva

I know I must sound like a broken record, but it has been so incredibly hot in my hometown. The kind of hot that sucks the life out of you. The kind that makes you want to stick your head in the freezer and eat all the ice cream in it.

Luckily, there are swingy little skirts and soft cotton tees to keep me comfortable. I hate whining so I'm doing my best to enjoy it before I officially retire my sandals and switch permanently to ballet flats as my everyday shoe. It isn't easy but I'm trying! The beach tomorrow is beckoning...

Happy Friday!
