buxom

when i got the call from sephora that they finally got more buxom white russian lip cream in stock i couldn’t get to the store fast enough.  i was so excited to get my hands (or lips should i say) on that lip cream.

so after all this time waiting...

do i like it? yes. do i love it? no.

what i do LOVE is the buxom lip gloss in sugar. now that is something to get excited about!

sweet treat

on a trip back home from visiting my sister (and adorable niece) i stopped by a local mercantile to pick up some goodies.  my favorite...

licorice allsorts

nail polish organization

i had been storing my nail polish in the ikea kassett storage boxes but with my collection growing, i was getting tired of shuffling though them to find the color i wanted.  it was time for an upgrade.

my collection...

...with plenty of room to grow.

sheepskin rug.  the perfect accent for the back of a chair.

treasure hunting. nordstrom rack

the three that had to come home with me...

the via spiga booties are a re-purchase.  i bought them during the anniversary sale and showed them too much love over the winter season.  i was thrilled that they had made their way to the rack, and at 75% off!

i was trying on these tory burch wedges in nude when i saw someone else trying them on in snakeskin. i immediately wished i had discovered them first, but had resigned to the fact there was no way she was going to put them back for me to scoop up. i was making another loop around the racks when the same woman asked if i wore a size 9.5, she said you HAVE to get these shoes.  sadly they were a little too small for her... sad for her, happy for me! was it destiny? 

yes. it. was.

love the detail on the back of these calvin klein flats.

change of heart

was anybody else disappointed with sally hansen diamond strength jewel overcoat in 503 multi-faceted?  trying to save a mani, i found a combination that turned my frown upside down.

i started with my dipped in gold mani (here), then added sally hansen diamond strength jewel overcoat in 503 multi-faceted and deborah lippmann happy birthday.

i wasn't planning on posting this but have received so many compliments i thought i would share.  my favorite... "o.m.g. your nails!  i am about obsessed with you right now..."

bright and sparkly mani

currently obsessed with essie's set in stones.  i am more of a gold kind of girl, but this top coat is addictive!

essie:  turquoise & caicos.  set in stones.
