I feel really horrible because I have not paid any attention to my blog these last few days.  On Saturday my younger brother went to the hospital and ended up having lung surgery on Monday.  Since I have been preoccupied with that (along with both my dogs being sick... my guess is food poisoning) I had waited until tonight to put in a few minutes here.

I fell in love with this dress when the amazingly gorgeous Jessica from The Midwest Muse wore it last month.  I waited until this dress came back in stock and as of today I can call it mine :).  It's really versatile and I love any dress you where can wear a regular bra underneath (hello comfortable!).

I'm hoping you have a great week.  Mine has already been pretty crazy so I'm hoping for a slow down stat!

Thank You Betsey

In case you didn't know, Betsey Johnson has filed for bankruptcy which means she will no longer be designing or selling her amazing line.  All her stores are closing and I will no longer have the joy of playing dress up or bonding with the great Betsey girls I've met all over the country.  Betsey is my personal favorite designer and I'm pretty devastated that I won't have the chance to expand my collection.

I'm going to miss her feminine dresses, funky jewelry, sparkly bags, and her great staff!  She has inspired my style for years and I am so thankful for a designer who knows me (even if she has no idea who I am).  I am so sad :(

Hey Babydoll

 Watch- Gift

Everything else- Forever 21

This is somewhat of an old dress, but I love it.  I rarely let the legs out (as you can tell by my whiteness) but this past week has been so incredibly hot that I've had to break out the summer dresses.  Now to get a little bit of a tan so these dresses work even better...

Oh, if you haven't been to Target lately, you should check out their new line The Webster.  I just bought a few pieces and they are AMAZING!  I'll post some pics soon!

Faking It Flawless

I have received some questions as to what I use to "appear" to have a flawless face.  Let's be honest, we all have imperfections but the world of makeup has given us the ability to hide them.  So, here are my favorite products:

-Make Up For Ever HD Invisible Concealer.  Perfect if you have under eye circles

-Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer.  I really only use this when I'm taking blog photos or going to an event.  It's a great way to get a matte look.

-Laura Mercier Oil Free Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20.  I truly think this is miracle foundation!  It gets great coverage without looking or feeling "cakey".

-Make Up For Ever Uplight Luminizer.  Great for the apples of your cheeks before you apply blush.

-NARS Blush.  I seriously feel weird writing about this again but it's perfect.  My favorite shade is Orgasm and I don't think I would stray from NARS.

-Laura Mercier Mineral Pressed Powder SPF 15.  I use this to set my makeup or to touch up later in the day.  This provides amazing coverage and lasts a long time!

There you have it!  Kind of seems like a lot, but it really only takes me a few minutes from start to finish.  If you have any other questions let me know!
