Little Treats

Butter London "Disco Biscuit" & O.P.I. "Pedal Faster Suzy"

Wearing O.P.I.

RichRocksNYC smoky pear earrings

 I love treating myself to little treasures when I need a good pick-me-up. As much as I love shopping for bigger items like clothes and handbags, there's nothing quite as sweet as small trinkets that will undoubtedy brighten my day. The nail polishes I just picked up are feminine and shimmery. I usually gravitate towards cream finishes, but lately I've been loving shimmer, glitter, and lots of shine. The earrings I ordered from RichRocksNYC are beautiful. I lost a somewhat similar pair in Vegas over my birthday, and I've been looking for a replacement ever since. Although these aren't as inexpensive as those were (they were F21), these have that same light-catching appeal.

Lemon - Lime

Tank - Ellen Tracy via Marshalls, Blazer - Frenchi via Nordstrom, Jeggings - BR, Heels - Zara (old), Necklace - J.Crew, Rings - YSL and F21, Lipstick - Mac Dish it Up, Nails - Orly Fancy Fuschia

I'm fully embracing the neon trend, and by fully embracing it, I mean by way of this little lemon lime tank I got for $12 at Marshalls. See, I love trends just as much the next fashion-loving girl but I am also fully aware that my true aesthetic leans more classic. I will never make the mistake I used to when I foolishly bought super trendy items for a lot more money. A few short wears later  and I would be over something faster then you could say palazzo pants! Trapeze pants? Whatever. This bright tank fills my neon void. And once I tire of it (or we all tire of it), I won't feel so guilty when I put it into a donation pile. Paired carefully with other little pops of bright color, I think this is fun and fresh for Spring.

M.A.C. Attack

Every so often, I get a craving. A really good, strong one. I try to talk myself out of it, but the feeling overtakes me, and before I know it, I'm pulling up to the mall parking lot. Handbag over the shoulder, keys in hand, I head into Macy's and make a beeline for the M.A.C. counter. This recent trip consisted of eyeshadows and lip products, the best kind of makeup shopping in my opinion. At least the most enjoyable.

Innocence Beware and Dish it Up came out with the most recent collection. The first is a creamy pink/nude, the latter a gorgeous pinky plum. Innocence Beware has a creamsheen finish, while Dish it Up is a lustre. Both are opaque.

I was curious to try a plushglass that I kept hearing so much about.

Besides the cutesy name, Fashion Fanatic is a delicious shade of baby pink. It looks gorgeous layered on top of Innocence Beware, and that is the combination I have favored most lately. It feels minty, which I like. I've never been much of a lip plumping fan, as they sit uncomfortably on my lips. I become panicked seconds later, wondering why anyone would deliberately PAY to feel as if they've poured a bottle of hot sauce on their mouth.
No worries here. This one only tingles slightly.

I showed my new eyeshadows last week, but here they are with the rest of my palette. For reference -

 Top Row: Naked Lunch, Dazzlelight, Woodwinked, Soba, Sable

Middle Row: Twinks, Sketch, Copperplate, Jest, Grain

Bottom Row: Phloof

I still have four coveted slots left! What other shades must I get? Do share in the comments!

Obviously I'm a neutral girl. Just in case you had any doubts :)
