Latest Acquisition: StriVectin SD Eye Concentrate

I hope you all get to read this before the promotion is over, which I have no idea when that will be. I ran out of my eye cream about a week ago, and have been putting off repurchasing one until today. I woke up, feeling tired, and on top of that looking terrible! I feel my under eye area to be very dry and definitely need to do something about that.

Being a pseudo-graduate student, you are in need to carry loads and loads of papers, technology, and other essentials around with you all the time plus any personal bits you need. You MUST be prepared for anything and everything that may be thrown your way! Not exactly, but certainly does help if you are!

Fall 2013 Trends

Just finished flipping through Marie Claire about five seconds ago! I loved most of the magazine, but some trends did leave me quite curious as to what designers are thinking.

Top 5 trends:

1. Cara Delevingne!  I was half surprised to find Cara in loads of adverts and fashion edits looking quite fabulous as usual. 
2. Bold red lips. It wasn't much of a surprise as this year has been very lippy. The particular trend is bold dark red lips. Think rich burgundy, beautiful deep rose, and so on.  I have been waiting for so long to wear my Julie Hewett Sin lip color, and I am so excited to finally be able to do it without feeling like a total weirdo amongst nude lipped women. Very excited about this trend!!
3. Colorful fur. I am quite confused by this trend. It seems every page had some kind of colorful fur booties, coat, or head piece on it particularly from Fendi. This is an unusual feeling for me since I usually love everything from them. Can't really afford it, but absolutely love most their collections! I haven't had time to read up on their inspiration, or reasoning behind it, but either way, hardly seems wearable for the average Jane. They did have some lovely investment pieces, though. Totally worth looking into!
4. Oil paint everything. I had an array of emotions when I first saw them. They're so, very beautiful pieces, you'd be wearing pieces of art across your body with beautiful colors and textures! I dont think it would be very convinient and hardly think anybody would wear that particular piece more than once, perhaps twice, certainly not more than that. I do love them though. 
5. Jeweled crowns. Perhaps this ties in to point number four, it was probably part of the theatrics of things, and honestly I think it was brilliant! Having said that, and since I do love anything jewel tone, jewels, or anything sparkly, I am translating this trend into chunky jewel tone necklaces, and bracelets in nice, rich gold tone hardware. 

So there you are, nice and short! 

Thanks for stopping by! 

Love,

How To: Makeup Starter Kit

I know I'm a bit late for this post, I am really sorry. I honestly wanted to get this published before school started, but I genuinely didn't have the time to do it. To prove it, I am typing this like a mad woman, on a very late Thursday evening, bordering on Friday morning. I suppose I have some 'splaining to do, which promise I will, on another post later this weekend!
