When I first started my blog, I was obsessed with posts about everyone's makeup collections. I can't believe I have never done one, but then again, I think my collection is rather small in comparison to most I've seen. I have decided to show you mine because for the first time, I'm extremely happy with what I own. I think I have a really good mix of brands and colors. Of course, I always want more when I'm out and about doing some shopping, but I do try to take inventory of what I have before I make a purchase.
This is a clear storage container from WalMart. It sits on a white wooden vanity I got from Target.
Top drawer - blushes, powders, concealer, and my foundation (I still use MUFE Mat Velvet +)
Second drawer - eyeliners, miscellaneous eyeshadows, and a mini UDPP.
Third/Last drawer - Lash curlers, mascara, and other miscellaneous things. Looking at this now, I think I need to organize it more efficiently! I see there is a lot of wasted space!
This is one of my vanity drawers and it holds my eyeshadows as well as my highlight powders
Lip products. The little leopard holder is from TJ Maxx
Makeup palettes. UD Naked is my most used.
Lastly, this drawer holds q tips, makeup removers, moisturizers, and my Sonia Kashuk blending sponge. It is the only way I apply my foundation.
If you have any questions on specific products, feel free to ask!

Grey tee - H&M, Skirt - F21, Sandals - Target, Necklace - LOFT, Ring - Franchescas, Nails - Chanel Riva
I know I must sound like a broken record, but it has been so incredibly hot in my hometown. The kind of hot that sucks the life out of you. The kind that makes you want to stick your head in the freezer and eat all the ice cream in it.
Luckily, there are swingy little skirts and soft cotton tees to keep me comfortable. I hate whining so I'm doing my best to enjoy it before I officially retire my sandals and switch permanently to ballet flats as my everyday shoe. It isn't easy but I'm trying! The beach tomorrow is beckoning...
Happy Friday!

The transition from Summer to Fall has left me in a bit of a funk. I can't stop dreaming of the beautiful clothing I want to wear, and I want to wear it all NOW. The problem is that it is scorching hot and so I'm rendered helpless in the name of fashion. Dressing has been uneventful lately in my world.
However, inspiration never seems to cease and there are a few things that I am currently in love with at the moment:
1) Going back to school! Not for my Master's, and not to further my studies in Psychology. Nope, I'm instead taking an intro to fashion class at the community college I used to attend before transferring to a four-year and getting my BA. I'm a schoolgirl again.
2) My great great grandmother's vintage opal ring that she left me after she passed. I was once afraid to let it see the light of day, but I've realized the best thing I can do is to wear it and think of her.
3) Yoga! I've never tried it before, but now am attempting to do it once a week at my gym. You should have seen my first class. I was heinous! Total unflexibility at it's best. But it did help me to relax and focus on breathing. I was extremely sore the next day too.
4) My new necklace and earring set from Jewelmint. It's my first go at a shopping subscription service, but I love this dainty piece so much and I couldn't resist. Who knows if and when I'll order again, but I'm very happy with it overall.
5) The anticipation of The Rachel Zoe project! It starts in two weeks!
