Shoe Love: JW Anderson Weatherbee

Another mobile post, we are in need of a router, which we will be getting this week, so once that's acquired, everything will be back to normal.

So Aldo collaborated with JW Anderson for their Rise collection and I fell in love. The strap is great for girls who have problems with shoes slipping off their feet and the construction of the shoe is all around fierce.

If you want to purchase these shoes or any from the Rise collection, do so on the Aldo website. ASOS is also selling them, but at a higher price. Save yourself the money!

NoTD: Spoiled Rotten

For people who just glance at the cheap nail polishes in the drugstore, don't! Wet n' Wild has their own line titled Spoiled for the great price of $1.99. Not only do they have an assortment of colors, the formula is surprisingly awesome. Both polishes only needed two coats for this opaque color.

What I Used:
-Revlon Basecoat
-Spoiled Pink Flamingo and Don't Be So Cheesy
-Sally Hansen Diamond Flash topcoat

By the way, my Internet has been down, when it's up I'll have my MAC hauls up. Happy Wednesday!

“Flirting is a woman’s trade, one must keep in practice.”

Friends and family know I am an avid fan of Jane Eyre. I absolutely love that novel. Beau makes fun of me constantly because of my affinity towards it. I can't help it! Anyway, my love (obsession) for the novel led me to Etsy. I simply typed in Jane Eyre and was rewarded pages of eye candy. There was a piece that quickly caught my eye and upon clicking it, I knew I was in trouble.

I was led to a store named JezebelsCharms. The seller, Kate, creates wonderful literary pieces for you to wear! While there were various pieces to choose from, I spent time looking at her brass cuffs. I decided to purchase three, each one significant because they were so distinct in the novel. Each cuff is uniquely designed and the brass is destined to change color as it ages. This will result in a beautiful cuff with an antique and vintage feel.

If you have a chance, check out her store, and check out Etsy in general. There are some hidden gems and great deals. It's also a great opportunity to support handmade creations!

Perhaps one of my favorite points in the novel. I love that the entire passage is included on this delicate cuff. Click on the images to enlarge.

"My Bride is here...because my equal is here, and my likeness."

"Every atom of your flesh is as dear to me to as my own. In pain and sickness it would still be dear." This is the highlighted quote, the text underneath is the passage it is taken from.




Hope you guys liked my little jewelry haulage! Happy Hump Day. I'm also pretty excited for today, I'll be on my way to see Video Games Live tonight! The gamer girl in me is doing the happy dance right now.

March Favorites!

I cannot believe April is already here! This year is flying by so fast. You guys know what that means. It's a round up of monthly favorites.

Starting from left to right:
-Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream: This was a God send the beginning of the month. Due to the dry heat and cold air, my face was so dry. Every time I put on foundation, I couldn't help but notice the ugly flaking. Once I got this, I applied it onto the trouble spots along with my regular moisturizer and then my foundation. Some reviews I read said not to put it on your face, but this didn't break me out at all. The camphor smell also dissipates, though it wasn't unpleasant smelling to me. This cream can also be applied to dry cracked lips as well.

-L'Oreal Colour Riche Balm in Rose Elixir and Pink Satin: At first I didn't like care too much for these. I had compared them to the Revlon Lip Butters (they are not comparable to each other at all btw) and immediately disliked the lesser color payoff. It wasn't till I started using it on a regular basis that I began to love these. These are super moisturizing, have a sweet scent and leave your lips plumper and hydrated. Pink Satin leaves a beautiful iridescent sheen while Rose Elixir matches my lips exactly.

-Maybelline Dream Lumi Concealer: This highlights and conceals and does not feel thick on my face at all. It's enough coverage for me to just slap this on with some translucent powder. For those with deeper scars or blemishes, this may not be enough coverage.

-Revlon PhotoReady 3D Volume: I've been looking more into non-waterproof formulas as of late. Why? Because it's so much easier to take off at night! This is a supposed dupe for BeneFit's They're Real mascara. It lengthens my lashes and separates them. The curl does drop, but I still really like this mascara.

-Make Up Forever Aqua Cream in 12: Great as a base or just to wear by itself. Described as a "Golden Copper" it really brightens my eyes for a bright eyed look. I usually pair this with just mascara for a "natural" look. Even though it's a cream product, it doesn't crease after hours of wear.
