Flowing Inspiration

I am a huge fan of elements in an outfit that make me feel majestic in some way, namely flowy pieces. 

It may be the actor in me, but I have always loved the way a piece of clothing moves when you walk in it. It can make me feel like a completely different person and, to be honest, I feel most feminine when I'm wearing a dress or skirt with some flow to it.

 Lenni Luella Kimono

This dress and kimono have been some beautiful inspiration for me lately when it comes to thrifting. I've also been quite obsessed with the fashion of American Horror Story: Coven lately. So much so that I found this dress at H&M a while back and bought it without a second thought to the less than thrifty price tag.

I feel super classy in this dress and love the nod to my favorite witches :)

What kind of silhouettes are inspiring you this season?

New Limited Edition Maybelline

Hello everyone! I'm back again with a drugstore alert on some new, limited edition Maybelline products!

About a year ago I became insanely obsessed with the Maybelline 24 hr Color Tattoos (my favorite being Bad to the Bronze). Well, Maybelline seems to have come out with some new shades that seem to be taking a more "nude" approach. 

The color I have right here is in Nude Compliment. I got two more colors but this was by far my favorite. It is a gorgeous icey taupe which is my favorite kind of everyday color. I love colors like this because I love bright lip colors and you can match a color like this with any kind of lipstick. 

This color is in the same kind of vein as Bad to the Bronze but is cooler and more taupe rather than bronze. When swatched the color comes off very pigmented but I do find that I need to build up the color a little on my eyes to get the kind of intensity I want. What is nice is you can wear it sheer with one coat for a more everyday look, or you can build it up for a slightly smokier look. 

Next in my mini haul is this gorgeous lipstick in Ravishing Rose. This is a limited edition color in their The Buffs collection. They have other colors but many of them seemed as though they would come off looking like concealer on my lips. This is a still a light color but I feel as though I can still get away with not wearing gloss over it. 

This lipstick is a gorgeous pastel coral-pink that I think is perfect for the upcoming spring months. The formula is creamy and the pigmentation is spot on. I got about a three hour wear time with this lipstick (because of eating and drinking) but didn't mind reapplying because the formula was so comfortable. 

I wore these two products together yesterday and I absolutely loved the combination. The combination of the cool color on the eyes and the pastel color on the lips made me wish that spring was closer than it actually is. Here's to hoping these new spring collections can will spring into existence! 

Have you found these limited edition products in your drugstore? What did you try?

I'm baaaaaack!

Hello everyone! First off, I apologize for being gone for so long. It has been a while since I've had a working computer but I'm finally back and ready to blog a lot more!

I went on a solo thrift trip this past Saturday, for the first time in a while, and got some awesome stuff! I am hoping to take some pictures soon of what I found and post them on the blog soon but until then I thought I would share with you all why I think thrifting is so awesome!

The other day I was perusing my emails in my "promotions" section of my gmail and I saw that Urban Outfitters was coming out with new kimonos in their stores. I love me a good kimono and so I thought I would take a look at what they have.

I clicked on this one because I thought the flowers were beautiful and upon further inspection I thought it looked very familiar...

About two years ago I was thrifting and came across my first ever new-with-tags item. A gorgeous flowy and flowered kimono from Urban Outfitters with an original price tag of $79.99. I got it for $8!

(This is a very old instagram photo of me in the kimono so please excuse the warped colors from the filter :))

Lo and behold, Urban Outfitters is selling this same kimono once again. This is why I love thrifting! I got a gorgeous piece for a fraction of the price a couple of years ago and now it is back in stores.

So keep thrifting, thrifty friends! And may you find yourselves some beautiful new-with-tags items on your next thrift trip :)
