sam edelman flats

Sam Edelman 'Ilsa' Flat*

Oh how I want a pair of you. You are shaped in such a way that makes my feet look so pretty and dainty. (Sometimes flats are just as uncomfortable as heels. Sometimes flats can make your feet look wide, and sometimes they're too rounded at the toe, and sometimes flats can make you look like you have kankles...but not you sam edelman..) And you look so good with dark skinnies. I would wear you all the time but will I ever be able to bring myself to pay over a hundred dollars for a pair of flats? I do not know. But I will pine away for you. And hope you're hiding somewhere at a nordstrom rack...marked with a blue sticker... or whatever color is coordinated with 35% off...




*ps these are actually 67 bucks now instead of 114.

i guess its the thought that counts...

One day I was inspired to go to the gym.
I went to the car that is my closet because I believed I would find my tennis shoes there.
They weren't there.
I was pretty dissappointed. But it didn't last very long because any excuse to shop is always a good deterrent to sadness.

Anyways, I got myself to the mall sometime over the last two weeks and I picked up these.

Nike 'Lunar Trainer+' Running Shoe

They are incredibly light weight. And they were the first ones I saw at nordstrom that didn't look too wonky. I didn't put too much effort into bargain hunting because the boy was with me and boys bitch and moan whenever they aren't playing video games or something. -__-

Well its been two or so weeks since I've bought these and I still haven't worn them. I'm probably going to return them. They are too expensive and I won't get my money's worth considering the inspiration to work out is dwindling.

rite aid hauly haul:

Illuminating Veil Talc-Free Mineral Wear, Nude Glow

I read about this somewhere and I decided to try it. Physicians formula was having a buy one get one half off sale (not THAT great, but whatever.) I've been meaning to buy a face loose powder and I'm convinced the Coastal Scents Silica Powder breaks me out. I've used the Illuminating Veil about three times now and it works pretty well. It makes my face glowy and it hasn't broken me out!
Plus it's cheaper than traditional high end brand powders. :)

Concealer Twins® 2-in-1 Correct & Cover Cream Concealer

I bought this for 2 bucks ish... Since its also 2 in 1, its an even beetter deal!
It's now a part of my everyday make up routine. I like the cream colored concealer a lot. I also like the green because of the redness neutralization. But it is so liquidy that it can't be very concentrated into a certain spot. Like, I have some red spots/scars and I just want to cover those spots, but even a tiny dot of the green concealer can cover my entire cheek. So I use the green sparingly and I really think it works to neutralize the red. I saw a more solid/cream package of this concealer I think I will try if I catch it on sale sometime (pictured below).

Concealer 101® Perfecting Concealer Duo

Overall, I am really liking these two products. I've been using them frequently, if not everyday. They haven't caused any break outs so far (knock on wood) and they are not extremely expensive. I will try to do a more detailed post about the illuminating veil sometime in the near future...

i went to target to get some light bulbs. i ended up getting these instead:




everyone needs a pair of nudey shoes. i mainly bought these because they're perfect for work. professional AND stylish, but not trendy. they will pair very nicely with gray slacks.

organizized

i live out of my car and reused forever 21 bags.
peek into my car, and you'll find an uneaten fruit and cheese plate, empty starbucks cups and 75% of my closet.

this has become the way i live not because i am homeless, but because i feel like i have two homes that aren't quite my home. i have one home in which i pay $550+/month for that houses my two lovely and dear roommates. i have another home in which i actually stay at (free of charge, but hardly cost-free......) with my boyfriend and his roommates... and it hardly feels like i have my own space. a corner where i stuff my duffle and forever 21 bags does not count. but anyway, traveling between the two places makes for a messy, messy car.

with all of the crap i've accumulated, i need to seriously organize all of my belongings. i have fairly nice belongings and they need to be handled nicely. and the sense of creating my own space is something i've been craving lately.

i decided to start simple so i set out to target to buy some storage space for...of course...my makeup.

i have a lot of it, but i've lost most of it lugging my damn make up bags around back and forth from a to b to c back to a and then to d....so its easy to leave a piece or two behind, or have it fall out in my car... its hard to keep track of all that crap. yeah... its quite sad because my make up collection would be more impressive.

i bought some clear vanity trays for fairly cheap and i thought i would share! :)

Make up I only use sparingly:

Everyday makeup:

Very simple.

Cute things/I have no shame
(This bathroom is shared with 3 other guys)
hehe

Necessities:

I recently switched body lotions to Nivea. The Eucerin Plus Intensive Smoothing smells too awful. I endured the stench for a couple months, but could go on no longer. Loving the Nivea.

Anyway, that is it for now. The creation of space and organization continues and I'll keep you updated.
