OOTD: Ruffles
Anything I want to feel pretty I realized I usually reach for something ruffly, pink or beige. I've done an OOTD post with this shirt before, I can't get enough of it.
And to add just the right touch, I added my Aldo rose earrings.

OOTD: Inspiration, Khloe Kardashian
I saw this image on Kardashian stylist Monica Rose's blog of Khloe in the airport.
The colors are gorgeous and compliment her.
So0o as much as I wish I could afford her $400 Navajo sweater throw, I decided to use something I've had laying around since the summer time to give a small touch to my outfit. Can you tell what it was? Yes, that cute little scarf. I bought it for $3 at a local summer outdoor fair. I love how it mixes brown and black with some beige and white thrown in.

Project 10 Pan: Round 2 - COMPLETED!
Another Project 10 Pan completed. See my 1st post on P10P: Round 2 here.
It's been on going for awhile now, so the items from the 1st post have already been thrown out. The picture below shows most of the remaining items. Also note, I had 4 mini items so instead of these making up my final 4 items, I only counted them as 2 items.
(First 1/2 of items from Round 2)
(Not pictured: CG lash blast, OPI Bubble bath, BE primer, MUFE primer, MK satin lip balm)
Continued from my 1st Round 2 post:
8) Mary Kay Satin Lip Balm
Really nice texture, super smooth. It's a clear lip balm & there's no scent to it which kinda weirded me out since pretty much all lip balms today have some sort of scent. I've had it forever and had received as a gift. Mary Kay probably doesn't sell this item anymore.
8 1/2) Mary Kay Satin Hands Lotion
Also received this as a gift with my Mary Kay Satin Lips balm. Very sheer and thin texture, isn't that moisturizing. Not fond of the smell. They probably do not still sell this item either.
9) Kiehl's Ultra Facial Moisturizer
LOVE IT. BEST facial lotion I have EVER USED! Have already repurchased. See my Product Rave post here.
10) MAC makeup remover wipes (100 pack)
Another pack bites the dust. I like the smell to these, but I don't notice a big difference between these wipes and the Neutrogena makeup removing wipes which are $8. I keep going back and forth.
When Round 3 starts these items are the next to go:
-Soap & Glory Righteous Butter Body Cream
AMAZING clean and fresh smell. Have never smelled anything like it. I use on my skin before bed and in the morning you can still feel how moisturized my skin is, as well as that amazinggg smell!
-Amazing Cosmetics Concealer
Too bad at all. Very nice coverage with 2 layers and nice sheen to it. Will prob repurchase in the future.

Snowed In
The snow has been coming down since late Tuesday night and isn't stopping until Thursday morning. Right now it's 7:30pm on Wednesday night and not only is it still coming down, but we've had at least 10 inches of snow.
aahhhhhh
So being snowed in is not one of my strong points. Here's some sappy BUT CUTE pics of the pup via being stuck inside.

OOTD: Anddd more snow
Once again, I had to deal with a few inches of no good rotten snow...I probably sound like a huge Grinch but now that I'm working in the 'real word,' snow during the week is nothing more than a huge pain in the butt inconvenience.
Didn't have much motivation in this outfit besides to stay warm and feel comfortable. Oh yea..AND to wear my new Forever21 fashion ring. Super sparkly!!

Clever lil quotes
I read this quote on Amber's Notebook and it put a quick smile on my face...enjoyyyy!

Product I LOVE: Sephora brand Top Coat
(the top coat is on the end to the right)
Most of the time, I am one of those ppl who believe brand name is best. I totally eat my words on this one when it comes to stumbling across the Sephora brand Top Coat polish.
I was at Sephora to take a look at the OPI nail polishes, when I realized, oh crap I need to buy another top coat polish!.
I had HAD it with a Sally Hansen top coat polish...it SUCKED big time. No matter what polish I used whether it was a high end, low end, a light color, a dark color, a sheer or opaque color, this top coat would seem to chip my nail color LITERALLY within a day or two!
I was going to buy the OPI top coat, but didn't feel like spending $9 just for a clear top coat. So I went over to the Sephora brand section and grabbed myself one of their top coats for $6. ITS AMAZINGGG! No joke, once you use this top coat, your polish WILL NOT chip for almost 2 WEEKS! I've used it with light color polishes and dark polishes.
I will repurchase this over and over!

OOTD: Pretty Ruffled
TGIF!
Not only was Friday going to be a super busy day @ work, but I was meeting up with my best friend from high school for a quick birthday lunch just for her.
Once again, I wanted to wear my killer Aerosole wedges, but it was 15 degrees and sadly I'd have to put them on hold once again...sigh. I felt like wearing something ruffly AND pretty. :)
Cream ruffle tank: Know Style $16 (it's one of those super fashion trendy stores in the mall)
Dark brown cardigan: Zara $15 (bought it on sale about a week ago)
Dark skinny jeans: Zara $40 (from last season)
Boots: See my 1st post

OOTD: Snow snow go away
This is the outfit I opted to wear due to the surprise snow on the ground.
Back in November, I posted about looking for a dupe of this gorgeous $185 Ya Ya Gstaad Poncho Like Sweater in Sunset that Kim Kardashian was wearing to a Lakers game. It's the closest I've found..and the least expensive.
Sweater: TJ Maxx $25
Long white tee underneath: Wet Seal $4
Jeans: TJ Maxx $20

Got It: They're hereeeee....
My Aerosole's came in! I ordered them on Monday and they came in WEDNESDAY! I choose the standard shipping option aka the cheapest and usually 5-7 business day choice.
But lo and behold it only took a day or 2 before they arrived. So I was planning on wearing these bad boys the next day for work..go figure I woke up the next morning to an inch of snow on the ground and it didn't look like it was stopping anytime soon.
Needless to say, it was really cold out and the option of wearing peep-toe wedges was no longer an option. :(
So here are a few shots of the black snakeskin wedges...the tan buckle peep toe wedges had to be exhanged b/c the size was too big..so no quick snapshots of those yet..coming soon though.

OOTD: Something old, Something new...
We all have this problem here and there where we are shopping and see a clothing item and say to ourselves, omg..i need that jacket or o0ohh that top is soo pretty!
Well...let's just say that's my biggest problem when it came to shopping.
I like to buy pieces that I like, but never really have an idea of how I could go about wearing it/putting outfits together. SO I decided I really needed to consider whether or not that piece is essential to my wardrobe.
Don't get me wrong..I started having a litttleee big more self-control and don't buy something just b/c it's pretty anymore...
Anywhooo, this brings me to the title of my post. I was kind of surprised when I realized how long I've had some of these items in this OOTD post. I think I wore this jacket ONCE in the last prob 5 yrs that I've had it.
It's amazing how many pieces you keep in your closet and don't wear for years and then all of a sudden..BAM..it's back in your outfit wearing life!
Thin, sheer white tank: Aeropostale (had it for 4 yrs)
Grey crew neck t-shirt: Wet Seal $3.50 (bought it on Black Friday!)
Khaki jacket: Aeropostale (also have had this for yrs)
Black leggings: Zara $30
Black wedge boots: Rocket Dog (had them for 4 yrs)
Layered silver necklace: Forever 21 $13 (came with a tunic shirt)

BUT sometimes I just MIGHT see the item on the rack - GRAB it in my size - HAUL it around the store - get on line for the register - and FINALLY bring myself back to reality and realize I NEED to put the item downha :)

OOTD: It's only Tuesdayyy
AHH seriously...it's only Tuesday!? Long day @ work...but LOST starts a week from todayyyy...yay!
INC Black sweater (untied): Macys (have no clue how much b/c I've had it for probably 2 years)
Top: Kohls $20
Grey pants: Wet Seal $15 (clearance)
Colin Stuart black boots: Victoria Secret catalog from last year $75
The cool thing about these boots is you can unfold the cuff and it creates a longer looking boot. Check out these boots folded from another OOTD pic here...see what I mean? In the pic above I unfolded the cuff so the boot hits just below my knee.
Gotta get my moneys worthhh!
