Barbie Pink

I guess it's no surprise that I love pink.  While I may not wear pink clothing too often, I almost always have pink lip gloss on.  When I'm feeling extra daring (like today) I like to wear something more vibrant.  This lip color was actually muted with a nude lipstick to make it less "neon".  I actually liked the outcome!  It reminds me of Barbie, although I do not relate to her in any other way.  She did have great clothes though....

Do you like to mix and match your makeup?  I like to mix lip colors, blushes, eyeshadow, you name it!  I'm thinking I may do another makeup tutorial about that in the near future.  But until then, you get to see my super frugal outfit here.  I spent less than one hundred dollars on everything!  I'm pretty proud of that :)

Apologies

This week has been kind of crazy!  I apologize for not updating my blog, but I did want to show you a quick picture of my straight hair.  I never wear it this way because I'm pretty attached to my curling iron, so I figured I'd post it now (you'll probably never see it this way again).  Hope you're enjoying the rest of your weekend and I promise I'll have some posts this coming week!

Vintage Inspired Wedding

If you don't shop at Ruche, you may want to start!  Not only do they have amazing clothes and accessories, they just launched a bridal collection today.  It's an affordable line of bridal and bridesmaids dresses, accessories, shoes, and so forth.  Their lookbook is gorgeous and it reminds me of what my dream wedding would be like: elegant and demure.  Here are some of my favorite pictures.

I'm guessing this bridal line is going to sell out pretty quickly, so I would check it out soon :).  What would your dream wedding look like?

Baby Blues

 Top- Zara

Pants- H&M

Heels- Steve Madden

Necklace- Gift

Ring- Forever 21

I don't know about you, but I'm pretty excited about Mad Men starting up next week (I need some more Don Draper in my life!).  I guess I've been inspired by 60's fashion lately because I the minute I saw these pants I knew they were mine.  I love the high waist and the structure, and the color is amazing!  Perfect for the spring season.  Winter seems to be in full swing over here.  While the sun has finally peaked out, the bitter cold remains.  Definitely not used to this "I need a jacket" kind of weather!

I've been looking for some Mad Men inspired dresses... Have any suggestions?

Military Chic

 Military peacoat- Betsey Johnson circa 2009

Dress- Urban Outfitters

Tights- Betsey Johnson

Heels- Betsey Johnson

Sunglasses- House of Harlow

Ring- Forever 21

Lipstick- Yves Saint Laurent in number 1

I didn't realize until recently that I haven't photographed much of my Betsey Johnson pieces.  If I'm a collector of anything, it would be cute chihuahuas and Betsey Johnson clothing.  I feel like every piece I buy is a work of art (which is how I justify the price in my head).  I love this military style peacoat so much!  I love the structure and the feminine pleats in the back.  I don't get to wear it much, but this crazy rain this weekend has allowed me to showcase it :)

Hope you have a great St. Patrick's Day!
