Snapshot Sundays 4/6/14 Mint Green Hair Bow

Today's post is what I wear on a typical day of running errands. I don't know about you, but the last thing I feel like doing when I am getting in and out of my car all day is fix my outfit to make sure nothing is falling down. I want to get out of the car and go! :) 

Here is what I wore:

I love this crochet top. It is so comfortable and the neutral color means I can wear any color I want under it and it wont look strange. 

I'm pretty sure I out grew the bow in your hair stage at oh, i don't know, the age of 4 but my hair was annoying and this bow was way too cute not to buy! 

The face I'm making in this shot is horrible. haha :)

Wet N Wild Color Icon Trio in Silent Treatment

I have been on a roll with the Wet n Wild  posts lately. What can I say, all of the shadows I've tried have been amazing! With that said, another set of shadows I've been loving is the Silent Treatment trio! These 3 little shadows are extremely pigmented and last all day on your lids. Oh, and this trio runs you $2.99 USD and if you're lucky most drugstores run buy one get one 50% off sales on Wet n Wild all the time so, you can get another trio for around $1.50 USD.

Eyelid shade~ A beautiful purple/grey based taupe with a satin finish

Crease shade~ Cool tone matte deep brown, this shade does have some fall out.

Browbone shade~ A light shimmery shade with a pink champagne tone

Swatched from bottom to top. Eyelid, Crease, Browbone

This trio should be easy to get your hands on. It is part of their regular line and is sold at many drugstores and mas retailers like Wal-mart.

             What do you think of the Wet n Wild Silent Treatment trio? Would you wear it?

My boyfriend gave me this watch at the end of December as a birthday present and I have been wearing it a ton since then, especially this month. The weather has been off and on between nice warm days and cold days so I have been able to show off this cute little Michael Kors watch on the warmer days. If you read my Snap
shot Sunday's posts then you have probably seen this watch. Its in pretty much every post.

                                                         FASHION FAVORITES:

Leggings!!! I have been obsessed with leggings and long shirts all month long! My 3 favorite ones are my solid fleece lined black leggings on the colder days, my brown leggings for when I get bored of black and my cosmic leggings to add a little pizazz to my legs. :)

So there you have it, my March favorites! Lets see if I'm still using and wearing the same stuff for April.
What are you favorites?

Snap Shot Sunday's 3/30/14 My Favorite Jeans!!

Today's snapshot Sunday's post is not going to be an outfit of the day but rather a post about my favorite pairs of jeans. I have no idea why it is so hard to find that perfect pair of jeans? I mean, seriously, practically every store has their own brand of jeans yet I can never find any that fit right? Whats up with that?  I know I am not the only girl out there that struggles to find "that pair". Right??
I am going to show you all my 3 favorites right now and they are all pretty affordable. But before I get into the photos let me tell you my issue with finding jeans...

• I have short legs! They are always 3-5 inches too long so I have to wear heels, roll them up or get them hemmed.Oh, and I'm 5'4" so I am short but not extremely short.
• My butt is big for how small I am. I can typically wear juniors and kids sizes but sometimes the straight fit doesn't go over my butt well.
• My waste is tiny. If they fit my butt they usually have a gap in the waste.

   Ok,onto my 3 favorites:

First up is Hollister Co. 

I have been wearing Hollister jeans for a good 10 years now. Some people love them and some people hate them. I like them because I never have any issues with the gap in the waste, the pockets actually sit on my butt instead of underneath and they come in regular, long and short inseam lengths. (I buy short length) I tend to go for the boot cut and flare designs as they fit me best and the skinny designs are way to skinny for my butt. The ones in the photo are boot cut in a medium wash. They sit on the waste and are tight through the thigh. They also have some stretch to them. I got this pair on sale for $25USD

Second pair is Forever XXI 

These jeans are the Everyday Skinny Jeans and are only $7.80 USD. They are extremely comfortable, have a lot of stretch and come in different washes. The pair I have are in a darker denim wash. Sometimes they can be a little long on me but that's ok because they shrink a bit when you put them in the dryer. The only bad thing I would say about them is they get stretched out way to easily and i need to wear a belt to keep myself from pulling them up every two seconds.

Last pair (and my newest "had to get") MissMe

I have been on a hunt to find a pair of Miss Me jeans for awhile now. My friend got me talked into buying some since she raves about how comfortable they are, how they are stretchy but not too stretchy and how none of the embellishments fall off them and she says they are the only jeans she wears ( which is true, shes wears the shorts and capris too) So I decided to go hunt for a pair, and hunt I did because whenever I would try them on I would have the waste gap issue with every pair until  I finally found this pair at Belk in the, wait for it... little kids section!  Yes, the little kids section. That same friend told me to check the little girls section as they have some of the smaller sizes and she thought I would fit into them better. She was right! I will say it is weird trying on clothes on an area where the sizes range from 2 toddler and up.

These jeans are a little on the pricey side ranging from $86-$109 USD. Mine were $86 but I got them on sale for $56.24 USD after taxes. I love all glittery detail to the pockets. The ones in the photo are a boot cut in a medium wash with fading and a sequin Fleur DE Lis pattern on the back pockets. These fit a little higher at the waste and are tight through the thigh with a slight flair.

                                  So there you have it, my 3 favorite pairs of jeans! :)

                                               What are your favorite jeans?

Lorac Lipgloss in Alex

My local Sephora had the entire line of Lorac products on clearance. Apparently they are not carrying Loac anymore and are using the space to make room for some new brands. I'm pretty excited about new brands coming to my local sephora and if I need Loac I can go to Ulta for that. But anyway, I notice the Lorac display had a clearance sign so I started poking around and let me tell you, that display was BARE!! I have no idea how long it's been on sale but all they had left was a few dark shades of foundation, a very pink highlighter pen, 1 mascara and about 3 lip glosses. I opted for one of the lip glosses. I got it for $9.00 :)

Lorac Lipgloss in Alex: 

When I took the gloss out if the package I was surprised by the fun layered effect of the product. The display tube was all blended together into a pretty mauve/ pink shade. 

                                               Look at those glitter pieces! So fun!

                                

2 coats on top of bare lips.
This formula is sheer when worn alone.

 

This gloss feels nice on the lips, isn't sticky and lasts for about an hour maybe 2 before you need to reapply. The glitter shown in the tube is very subtle on the lips and the colors mixed together make a very nice neutral pink shade that is good for everyday wear.

                                               Have you tried Lorac Lipgloss?
