OOTD -- FINDS: London Fog dress & Steve Madden wedges from GOODWILL!


My Outfit of the Day is a London Fog shift dress that only cost me $7 from Goodwill! The shoes are Steve Madden copper metallic wedges, also from Goodwill for $8. I know some people would be grossed out by wearing used shoes, but personally, I don't care-- especially when they're as stylish and comfy as these. #LoveWedges


The earrings are from New York and Company. I also have the matching necklace, and love how they are chunky and statement jewelry in a neutral brown/amber shade.

New Baby Lips, and Goodwill awesome finds


Sooo... yesterday, I bought FOUR new shades from Maybelline's Baby Lips line, over which so many women rave. I have one from the Electro Shock line in Pink Shock, and I don't really like it that much. It's just too neon for me (hello, the 80's called and want their lipstick back!).

Unfortunately, purchasing all of those Baby Lips was a FAIL for the most part because now four out of the five Baby Lips I have-- I don't like. The silver lining is that one, the Pink Punch shade shown on my lips above, is fine and smells good. I like how it's a pinky shade that is flattering for my skin tone. Not like classy-pale pink, like Mac's Angel or what you typically see Kim Kardashian sporting, but a fun, rich and creamy pink.

I do admit that I plan to return the other Baby Lips. I know, I know, I used to always keep the makeup that I don't like-- but I am over that now. Maybelline will NOT be hurting from my four lip products returned, and I have given them so much of my money over the years that I figure I'm due some back from products that really don't work for me. 

Ulta Bathrobe, only $6 at Goodwill!

In other news, I did an amazing Goodwill shopping spree yesterday! For less than $50, I bought a rain coat, long black nightgown (that I wanted to turn into a Harry Potter robe for my husband to wear but it HILARIOUSLY did not work! way too feminine and I was cracking up laughing at how dumb he looked), the Ulta bathrobe shown above (so warm and fuzzy), an amazing white lace strapless Banana Republic dress in SIZE 4 (hello, I am a size 12! What was I thinking? Maybe one day and it was only $7!), an awesome brown flattering polka dot dress in the correct size for me, some brown Steve Madden metallic wedges and -- DRUMROLL -- a puppy purse for Mogwai, my white Pekingese! 

Mogwai, AKA "Mugsy Bogues"

Mogwai has his own Facebook page (click HERE to go to his fan page). You will see a video of him climbing in the purse, which originally was $65, still had the brand-new tags on it, and is EXACTLY what I would have picked out and paid full price for at a store, down to the fabric, color, style and everything! So happy. :)

PUPPY PURSE!

First Impressions/Sephora Birthday Haul

My sweet husband let me have an unexpected shopping spree at Sephora for my birthday last week (although it really was because he didn't have time to get me a gift-- I was not upset, though, because it turned out better for me! I love picking out my own presents, haha!).

Two fun things about shopping there the day before my birthday-- the Sephora staff dinged a bell and everyone yelled "Happy Birthday!" I guess when they pulled up my account, it gave them a note to wish me that. :) Also, since it was my birthday AND I had built up bonus points in my account from previous shopping trips, I got a free mini Clinique mascara plus a cute little birthday kit of trial products. Fun freebies!

From Sephora, I purchased the following products, with links to purchase the products included.

Bare Minerals Ready To Go Complexion Perfection Palette (I originally purchased #R230 for Medium Golden Skin Tones, but had to exchange it at Sephora for the #R310 Medium Tan since my face is darker than I thought it was)
