I've Got the Anthropologie Blues

I made the mistake of going to Anthropologie today. It's something I shouldn't do, because everything in that store is so dang cute, and sadly I cannot purchase all the items I fall in love with. So essentially, it's torture. However, what did I do when I came home...? Got online and went to their website! Even more lovelies there I didn't see in the store. When will I learn?!

Happy {early} birthday to me!

Looks like I'm very punctual for my birthday this year (a month early), as I just bought myself a bday present. I'd been keeping my eye out for an oversized menswearish gold watch and found my the perfect one: MICHAEL by Michael Kors Round Goldtone Watch. I love the look of a large, chunky watch on a small, feminine wrist. Whether in lieu of a bracelet or accompanying some bangles and beads, I'm going to get a lot of use out of my stylish new timepiece.

Fancy Flats

As much as I'd love to be a gal who wears fabulous heels every day, unfortunately my feet just can't take it and I mostly wear flats to work during the week. Luckily there are tons of chic, dressy flats out there, so I don't have to sacrifice style for comfort. I especially like those with embellishments, as shown below.

Simply lovely.

Lilac for Autum

Although we usually see dark, rich colors in the stores this time of year, I've been noticing some pretty pastels around, namely lavender. It's a nice, unexpected color for fall. Especially living in LA, where temps have been in the 70s and 80s, lighter hues are perfectly suitable.

My Must Haves: Volume 5

Time for another installment of my ever-changing list of necessities. To view previous picks, go here.




I use this every single day. Its not too thin, like many regular moisturizers and its not as thick as regular foundation. It has a slight sheen, and I've been told on more than one occasion that my skin is glowing, when that's all I've been wearing. And of course, the SPF is a necessity.

An absolute MUST. I go through so many cans of it. It gets rid of greasies and adds volume and texture without a powdery look. A life saver on days when I haven't washed my hair and is also great for touch ups mid-day when heading from work to drinks. It comes in 3 different scents, all of which are quite pleasant.




TIGI Bed Head Hard Head Hair Spray
This hair spry is strong enough to hold my curls for hours, but on the flip side, it doesn't make my hair crispy or sticky and untouchable.



Rimmel Glam'Eyes Mascara
As I've mentioned before, I am always trying new mascaras, looking for the perfect one. For now, this is it. While I'm normally not a fan of rubbery applicators, this one is different for some reason. Perhaps it's because the its thin and bristles are two different sizes. It's also flexible and soft. The results are long, clump and flake free lashes.


I've used the matte Urban Decay Primer Potion for quite some time and have given it rave reviews. This shimmery primer delivers the same, just with some color and shine. Sometimes I just use it alone as a simple base. Other times I layer shadow over it and it stays all day without creasing.




Vaseline Aloe Fresh Protecting Body Lotion w/ SPF 15
During the summer I like to sit outside during my lunch break, which means I must wear SPF. I don't like applying regular sunscreen on my body during the day when I'm at work, because it can get on my clothes, and smell like I should be at the beach, not the office. I like this light, fresh-smelling lotion, which contains SPF.


We all know Anastasia is the authority on brows. I've used the Anastasia Perfect Brow Pencil and Brow Ex-press in the past, but this newer addition is a dream. It goes on really easily and precisely, looks natural and is long lasting.

Vested Interest

It seems as if the vest trend is one that's still around and here to stay for a while. There are a multitude of styles to choose from - loose, fitted, cropped, knitted, suiting, studded, sparkly, fringed and faux fur...to name a few. Whether you choose one that's glitzy and glam or casual and cool, there's sure to be one that will compliment your wardrobe, as well as fit into any price point.
