aaaanndd because I feel like it….

Casual outfits for going out, but could also incorporate this to wear to work (minus the skinny jeans, but turn those into pants and you’re set!)

Top: Mexx
Necklace: Forever 21. Seriously gals, you need to get some jewelry here. This place is crazy cheap. I think this necklace was something like four bucks. It’s so pretty too right? I get compliments on it… so I must be doing something right.
Belt: American Eagle circa 2003 or something ridiculous. I always forget I have belts… so they don’t get used much.
Jeans: A recent purchase from H&M. These skinnies cost a mere $25. Not bad not bad, for some nice bum jeans.
Flip flops: Abercrombie, but switched to Aldo flats.
Paired with my yellow Nine West purse purchased from Winners, ages ago…

Didn’t notice that I owned so many things from Mexx. That top was on sale towards the end of last summer for $14.99 – killah deal… or an appropriate price for a cotton tee, don’t you think.

I wore brown flats with this outfit and could have easily pulled off heels. However, I feel as though I need to invest in some new heels. The one’s that I have seem outdated and not really me anymore. Maybe I should snap a photo.

Alright, see? Okay so the patent leather peep (ALDO) is always a nice fav, but I rarely wear these.

I was bored waiting for the Boyf to get ready (who ever said it takes girls longer to get ready? Pshhh, they were ruhhh-ung wrong…)

Next outfit. Going out outfit! Casual enough for work, but dandy enough to wear out for dinner and drinks with friends. You can see where I purchased everything because I wore it on Tuesday’s OOTD post, I did wear this on Tuesday and went out with some friends. Can you spot me? Tee hee.

It’s another beautiful day out today, and I just took Alfie on what seemed like the longest walk in history. Apparently we only walked 5.42km’s (it took about an hour and a half. A stroll shall we day).

What did you do today? Buy anything at local fresh markets, or go on a stroll with your puppy or friends? Let me know! :) Have a great Saturday all.

OOTWW

This week was so muggy, sticky and warm that I couldn’t stand to be in the apartment after my morning shower, unless I was sitting directly in front of the air conditioner. I think Alfie felt the same way, each time when I went home for lunch he was panting (even though he has a water dish in his crate)— poor fella.

There isn’t an outfit for today because I stayed home from work sick today. I slept until 1pm! Something wasn’t right.

Definitely keeping the OOTWW (Outfit of the Work Week) posts. It helps me put different things together that I normally wouldn’t. For instance, on Thursday this week I had a boring tank top picked out and was probably going to wear a green cardigan over it. Instead, I remembered I had a few button up tops that I haven’t worn in months and usually save them for the winter. Worked out well, don’t you think!? :)

Pssst: Thanks to the readers of this blog, who nudged me out of wearing boring capri’s every.single.day — I think I’m addicted to skirts now. I want to wear my Mexx one twice a week now! But that would be just wrong…

Question: Do you like this style of OOTWW posts where you click the whole single image and you can see what I wore that week? Or would you rather see it typed out below the images directly on here and not in an image as well. Let me know!

How was your week?

Must have every day essential beauty products

I know I totally just posted this but I wanted to add in some photos. What do you use on a regular basis?

In the morning as soon as I’m done my shower I put on my cheap moisturizer from Walmart (using my $3 coupon to get this for nearly free). If you haven’t used this at all, it’s very refreshing and cold in the morning. I’m used to it now, so it just feels like a normal moisturizer, but when I first bought it, it almost stung. But in a good way, I don’t need any strong testosterone cream however I may switch to a “preventative” face cream and eye serum very soon. Advice from esthitician (good LORD I cannot spell that word) friends = key.

I apply my Drug store brand: Rimmel Chanel mixed with Laura Mercier foundation with the MAC 187 (the stippling brush), and then goes on the Lise Watier concealer wheel sometimes applied with my ring finger but mostly with the brush on the far left. I can’t forget my eyes next, so on goes the Rubenesque paint pot (it’s an eye shadow base with some color. Though, I use it just as an eye shadow shade really!), and then a free samplin’ of Sephora’s mascara coats those lushes lashes of mine. Lastly, I pile on the bronzer with the MAC 134.

Easy peasy eggs over easy. Got this down pat to like 4 minutes, tops. Boy I’m good.

What is your routine like?

Anyone interested in a foundation review? I’m totally loving the Laura Mercier foundation, and on the fence about Chanel.
