there’s nothing like some jean on jean to make dressing on a rainy day a bit easier. it’s just about the easiest combination because the shades don’t have to match, in fact the more varied, the better. to dress it up a bit, i added some jewels and heels. belted makes me feel like a cowgirl in this city, and considering my small town roots, it’s not that far off.
how was your weekend? i took an impromptu day off friday and spent the weekend in the park and then at googa mooga to see hall & oates. awesome! xoxo.

totally playing on a garden theme with today’s mixed prints. it feels young, fresh and perfect for the Birchbox Gossip Girl finale screening i’m attending tonight with sara.
on a related note, i’m feeling totally refreshed with a little makeup makeover - my friend sara sent me a few new items to try and i’m obsessed. i’ve loved their concealer and lipsticks for so long; the consistency of their stick concealer for spots and under eyes is awesome: it sticks but isn’t drying. i’m also really excited about their new ‘pure radiant tinted moisturizer’; it’s quite like a bb cream in that it packs a powerful sunscreen, touch of color, oil-free moisturizer and skin correcting ingredients that promise to help with hyper pigmentation and dark spots in four weeks. i normally stray from foundation, as it makes me feel greasy, but i’m in love with this and for what it does - what more could a girl ask for? xoxo

there’s many reason’s why i adore this Upstate tie-dye top - namely because the of it’s tiny hints of green, burgundy and fuchsia nestled in between the blues. it makes it awesome to pair with similar shades, as seen in my shoes, purse and throw on sweater. generally speaking, it makes the art of subtle coordination easy, and really, that’s what all us tired girls are looking for when racing out the door in the morning, right? ok g2g practice for a new biz pitch see ya tomorrow! xoxo.
