Happy Friday everyone! This is a look I sported over the last weekend. I was in the mood to incorporate some more contrasting colors in my makeup, but I didn't want it to be garish or day inappropriate. This look is super easy to achieve, just one color in the lid and a combination of a few soft browns in the crease to blend everything out and create a bit of dimension.

(my very first) awkward and awesome thursday
Thursday, May 26, 2011 • Awkward and Awesome
Awkward and Awesome Thursday was started over at the blog The Daybook! Sydney (and her husband) seem to be super cool and her outfits are fantastic so I recommend you go and take a look!
Awkward:
-Trying to redefine my style and realizing I don't want to wear at least 40% of what I have in my closet. Ok, that's maybe a bit much. Let's say 30%.
-Going to the gym over lunch, eating a salad with protein...
I shopped!
Wednesday, May 25, 2011
Well ok, to be truthful, I ALMOST shopped. I was in Dupont picking up some Chipotle (woot salad!) and got distracted by the '50% off sale' sign in the window of Ann Taylor LOFT. I knew I shouldn't and really couldn't buy anything, but it never hurts to try stuff on right?
Luckily the world was apparently up for helping me stick to the promise I made myself, because nothing was all together that special....
i should probably post a sign

"Watch where you sit - (aspiring) makeup artist on the premises"
And yes, another friend bites the dust. K, came over on Sunday to play with makeup. While we started with an easy gold/bronzey eye - good for going out - we finished with what I like to call the subtle pinup eye. Subtle for me that is.
Everything's done with soft matte eyeshadows, blended really well so there's a steady...
Shopping In My Closet - Week 3 (5/15-5/21)
Monday, May 23, 2011 • Shopping in my Closet
Look at this! This is me coming up on the last *GASP* few days of my personal challenge! I've still got a week and a few days to go but I'm doing it so far! I can't complain that it's been a breeze though, there have been some ups and downs and serious shopping withdrawal.
I mean Hautelook? So not my friend this month, and in fact I've had to start deleting the emails before I even see what's for...

the little things
Thursday, May 19, 2011
Sometimes in the midst of life stress I forget how much the little things make me happy. Today I've been thankful for...
ice cream cake
yellow nail polish
coral lipstick and freshly threaded eyebrows
but really, I have to be most thankful for all my friends, who continually manage to like and support me (even when I'm bogged down by existential bullsh*t)...

Yeah that's right - that's supposed to be Dr. Crusher. Why are you still on my blog again? THERE'S A LINK RIGHT THERE!

Alter or not? A great post on Extra Petite
Thursday, May 19, 2011
One of my favorite bloggers (ever really) is Jean at Extra Petite. I know, I know, you don't have to tell me - I'm not petite! But you know what? It doesn't matter when I want to see fashion inspirations or when I'm learning about fit and alterations. Those things are applicable to anyone and I feel like I've learned a lot about proportions and what will look good on my shape, even though I'm not...

Shopping In My Closet - Week 2 (5/8-5/14)
Monday, May 16, 2011 • Shopping in my Closet
I've survived week two! Amazing! I have to say this whole not buying thing isn't getting any easier, but at least the outfits keep coming. Not everything was as 'unique' and 'new' this week, but hey I'm not perfect. I'm TIRED in the morning and even though I told myself I was going to pick pieces the night before, it totally doesn't happen.
Dress: NY&Co ~ Belt: Target ~ Shoes: Ralph Lauren ~...
Bride....whatsits?
Monday, May 16, 2011
That got your attention didn't it? Really this is just a weekend round-up post that I disguised with a segue about the new movie Bridesmaids - which I did see, so it's not a total lie.
In all realness I do have a few things I learned over the past couple days that I wanted to share with you?
1) Any Chanel foundation lovers out there? I went by the Chanel counter in Pentagon City and snagged a peak...
Summer Makeup Tip #1
Sunday, May 15, 2011 • Makeup, Summer Makeup
Want coverage but worried about suffocating your skin in the heat?
Spot conceal under the eyes, around the nose, and on any blemishes but skip full foundation! Finish with some mattifying powder that has a bit of pigment like MAC's Mineralized Skinfinish in Natural or Laura Mercier's Foundation Powder and you're good to go!

Playing in CG-land
Friday, May 13, 2011 • Makeup
Cyber Goth Land that is! I actually kind of liked how this turned, though as a first try I wasn't doing it as carefully as I should if I wanted to wear it out. Placement of some of the decoration is also a little dicey, but not bad right?! I'll definitely be trying this again and full-faced!
Products Used:
~~MAC Shadestick in Sea Me
~~Urban Decay eyeshadow in Alice
~~Paula Dorf eyeshadow...

My lack of shopping has officially set in. I'm about to start my second bag of donations as a consequence of the challenge (4th if we're talking in general) and I'm feeling antsy. What I'd like to try on right now...
I don't even know why I wanna try this on! I can already tell now the flounce is going to look ridiculous on me, and that's if we ignore the fact that the rouching around the chesticle...
taking it easy
Tuesday, May 10, 2011 • Makeup
I may have been thwarted in my attempt to wear this out, but as I actually like how it looks on me AND it's super easy, I think it deserves a post - even if I was a little sloppy in the application.
Products Used:
~~MAC Greasepaint Stick in Slick Black
~~MAC Deep Truth eyeshadow
~~Milani Liquif-Eye eye liner pencil in 01 black (for lining the inner rim)
~~Ardell Wispies (lashes)

Shopping In My Closet - Week 1 (5/1-5/7)
Monday, May 9, 2011 • Shopping in my Closet
Welcome to the first week of round-ups for my 'Shopping In My Closet' Challenge! It's been a tough week, not gonna lie, and outfit wise there have been some definite hits and misses. In general though I think this has been positive so far and it's really been forcing me to think outside my normal box when it comes to clothing!
Ok so yeah - the whole maxi skirt thing? Totally not gonna be my trend....
