Marshalls outfit choices...love this




Even have a ton of clothes and not know what to pair with what? Thats me...I have a closet or (two) full of mix and match pieces that dont quite fit together and then they just sit in my closet.

Check out marshalls outfit ideas and a few days worth of outfit choices:
Work
Date Night
Beach/weekend errands

Love this concept!!

LC Lauren Conrad collection







LC Lauren Conrad collection at Kohls
www.kohls.com
http://www.kohls.com/kohlsStore/womens/brandswomen/lc.jsp
I am actually loving some of the items in this collections whether you are an LC fan or not
I have found some super cute items that I’m loving …I think I found my one floral item I’d like to
Add to my wardrobe this season which is the shirt seen below.
I am also loving the cropped motorcycle jacket that can be worn into spring…
The one shoulder dress is also one of my faves. Not to mention the super cute jumpsuit which is hot for spring/summer nights out on the town!! I have quite a few upcoming events and I think I'm gonna add these to my wardrobe!

I am a bit tired of seeing her dark nails though and feel like that is a trend that has passed.
I also tried reading her Book and found it a bit fluffy which made me not finish it. I am hopeful for her
Collection at kohls as the rumar has it she will be expanding this line at Kohls. I am a serious bargain fashionista, I think
When I was in my 20s I spent tons of money on designer fashions, expensive pieces etc but as I get older I realize that
It is important to be smart with my money and still be fashionable.
What affordable collection are you guys loving lately?

Spring wardrobe training.....

I am already starting my spring wardrobe list and this is what I'm loving:

A trench coat (preferably black)
A floral flowy top
Khakis
A new COACH bag or Chanel
Makeup (hmmm I am gonna try to wear less this spring or stick to my chanel bronze universal, mac blush and a hint of glass and mascara)
Fun dresses and keep wearing my maxi dresses which I love in the spring and I'm also loving polka dots.

It seems a lot of this upcoming season including ice cream colors and polka dots is reminding me of my 9th grade year in high school scary but true!!


Here are some picks on my lemming wants:)

Victorias Secret semi-annual sale makeup goodies



Here are some items I found at V. Secret for 75%:

Heid Klum lipstick in Exotic spice
Heidi Klum extra lendthing mascara in Amethyst
Christian Siriano eyeshadow for VS in Royalty
VS small pencial sharpener
PINK moisturizer
Beauty Rush nail paint in Velventini (this has staying power by the way, loved this nailpolish!!)

Revlon ColorBurst Lipsticks



My trip to ULTA today uncovered a new Revlon obsession...Revlon colorburst lipsticks.


The lipsticks normally retail for $8.99 each, which is still a decent price for a drugstore lipstick. Coverage is also pretty good - Rosy Nude is my current favorite.
It gives your lips a nice pink pout color which is what I love!

The packaging is matte black with a diamond pattern on 2 sides and the shade on top.
I am in love with the rosy nude...I would almost say its a MAC dupe for Syrup...but go check them out and you be the judge!

My skincare routine.....



I have a different skin care regimen in the winter than I do in the summer.
So here is my winter skin care routine...I moisturize obsessively and found the Cetaphil moisturizer is the best!! I usually get dry patches on my forehead and cheeks but since using this stuff I do not.

I started using this cleanser:Purpose Gentle cleaning wash, has a pleasant smell and it even takes off my eye makeup. I highly recommend this face wash if you have sensitive skin like me this cleanser is the best!

Also I switch to Estee Lauder Soft Clean and tissue this off when I need an extra moisturizing face cleansing. I found this at the CCO.

Every morning I wash my face with cold water only, follow by moisturizer and then the garnier anti-puff roller pen to depuff my sleepy eyes. I then apply foundation primer and begin my day to day makeup look for work.

Next on sundays I start my week with a mask, I really like the biore self-heating masks or I also like the Montagne Jennesse Chocolate Masque it is for deep pore cleansing and can be found at ULTA (not pictured)

Also on sundays I use my clinique toner in #2, for cleansing of my T-zone, then I use my iskin vibrating cleaner brush from sally beauty supply with the iskin cleanser. I sometimes also use the earth theraputics face exfoliator pictured when I dont want to use the iskin system.

Lastly at night I use the Korres gentle eye remover, Purpose skin cleanser followed by Cetaphil moisturizer.

I have found that every night you must remove all of your eye makeup and makeup in general. Good skin starts with clean skin! I think its also important not to pick at your pimples, touch your face or pull on your eye area which cause wrinkles. I am very particular about this as I'm getting older. I will follow my winter routine by telling you all of my spring/summer routine.

Remember good skin also starts from the inside out...drink lots of water, wash your face nightly and do not touch your face too much!
