I found this shampoo by accident. It honestly would never occur to me to spend more than $5 on shampoo, but after trying this one, I’ve heavily considered buying it myself. The way I was introduced to this shampoo was that my sister-in-law left her bottle in the shower at my in-laws’ house. I couldn’t … Read More about Makeup & Beauty Monday: Brilliant Glossing Shampoo with Olive Oil

I really like these pants from Old Navy. They hit all the marks for me: They are high rise, have an elastic waist with a side zipper, are ankle length, and come in several colors. I especially like the elastic waist and side zipper — I find when pants have a side zipper it takes … Read More about Budget Thursday: High-Rise Super Skinny Ankle Pants

This bracelet from Miansai has been on my wish list for a long time. I love that it looks like a weighty piece, but also minimalist at the same time. The way it screws onto your wrist reminds me a little bit of the Cartier Love bracelet, though MUCH more affordable. The screw also looks … Read More about Accessory Tuesday: Modern Screw Cuff

I will admit that I really don’t wear mascara regularly. I have short, fine, and stick-straight eyelashes that take an extreme (to me) amount of effort to make look anywhere noticeable. Combine that with my (pre-LASIK) life of contact lens wearing and my absentminded habit of touching my face, and mascara never lasts that long … Read More about Makeup & Beauty Monday: Double Extend Mascara

This is a fun, cute skirt that looks like it could be much more expensive than it is. In a quick perusal of Anthropologie, they have several mid-length, colorful, pleated skirts being shown for fall — and this one is a very convincing dupe. I really like the wide stripes and the color combo, and … Read More about Budget Thursday: Striped Pleated Skirt

I never thought that I would own AirPods. My first instinct is always to resist new Apple products, but I always seem to give in. The reason I gave in this time is I lost my regular set of headphones and my husband surprised me with AirPods. Since I would lose my head if it … Read More about Accessory Tuesday: AirPods Case

We are about to enter my favorite season: fall. One of my favorite parts of my favorite season is wearing scarves. Not scarves that are all utility, like you have to wear in the dead of winter, but fashion scarves. (OK, sometimes they can have a dual purpose of actually keeping you warm.) I can … Read More about Organizing Thursday: Non-Slip Velvet Scarf Organizer

Fenty Beauty (by Rihanna aka Robyn Fenty) is supposed to be inclusive of a wide range of skin tones and colors; their foundation line has 40 shades. I recently saw a makeup tutorial where the artist used a single one of these color sticks to do an entire face of makeup: blush, eyeshadow, and lipstick. Although I probably would not be able to pull off one color on my entire face, I think that concept is really cool. I am also not a makeup expert, so I always appreciate when a product is designed to be blended with your fingertips. I could see myself buying one of the bronze-ish ones to use as an eyeshadow and contour stick, or a pinkish one to use as blush and lip color. They are $25 each at Sephora. Match Stix Shimmer Skinstick

Lately when I’ve been scrolling through Instagram, I’ve noticed that headbands are coming back as weekend-wear. The ones that look most current to me are the ones that have a knot at the top, like this one — and these two on Emily Schuman of Cupcakes and Cashmere. I don’t know that I could successfully pull … Read More about Family Friday: Patchwork Twisted Headband

This hair tie from Banana Republic is an inexpensive and quick way to put a little more polish on a ponytail or bun. With the recent stretch of humidity (i.e., all of August), it is pointless to do my hair. I’m currently trying to grow it out, and having all that hair on my neck … Read More about Budget Thursday: Metal Chain Hair Tie

These flats from Anthropologie are fun but professional. I like a pointy-toed flat because it seems more professional, both with skirts and when sticking out from under pants. These are also a professional color in creme, and a have tailored look with the navy and burgundy striped bow. What makes them fun is that the … Read More about Accessory Tuesday: Alexandra Bow-Tied Flats

My hair is incredibly thick, and wavier in the back than the front. That combination makes it very time consuming to blowdry straight. However, I do find that like most things, the more time I put in, the better the results. If I don’t take the time needed, then it puffs back up and my … Read More about Makeup & Beauty Monday: Hold it Together Blow Dry Clips
