one shoulder dresses!

Okay, here's my new obsession! I love love LOVE one shoulder dresses! I have been searching for a great one and I FINALLY found it!!! I have been looking for something sexy yet sophisticated that I can wear to different events and most importantly I feel beautiful in it! What I love about it even more is that I can merchandise it up with different jewelry, shoes, belts, etc! In general, I think the one shoulder neckline flatters every girls figure while making the dress look original and fresh! I think if there's one staple each girl should have in their closet, it's a one shoulder dress!!!!

Makeup Monday!

SOOO it's Monday ... boooo to that alarm going off to start the work week! I thought I focus on things that make me happy to get me through the last Monday of the summer :( Why not makeup! Makeup makes me happy! I love trying out new products and learning new tricks, so I thought I'd share with you a couple of my favorite makeup products!

This is my favorite bronzer! It's Sephora brand, so it's affordable (in my book hehe) and it gives that great sun kissed glow you need to look like you've been beachin' it all summer, when you've really been in an office every day! The only thing I think it could improve on is the crumble factor; when you're running low on it, it crumbles easily and you end up having to throw it away...

This is my new favorite blush! This is from Carmindy's (the makeup artist from TLC's What Not To Wear) Sally Hansen Natural Line and it's the first creme blush I've used. At first I was a little scared, but it's got a great texture that looks pretty and is long lasting. It also dubs as a great lip color if you are going for the muted lip :) I think the best thing about going from a powder blush to a creme blush is that it's a super fast application if you hit the snooze button (like I did) on a Monday morning too many times and are trying to beat the clock!

What is your favorite makeup product these days?

My Sister's Wedding Week!

Ok, ok, ok, so maybe she's not my sister, as I'm an only child, BUT she might as well be we've been in each others lives for so long! In 7 days my VERY FIRST childhood friend will be walking down the aisle a single girl, and walking back as a married lady! I simply can't believe it! Catie and I met when I moved down the street from her about 20 years ago and we have been partners in crime ever since! We have choreographed endless dances, jumped a million waves at the ocean, and supported each other's decisions in our life paths...

Her life path took to an amazing man, Kevin, and they have a bond/love/friendship/romance that any hopeless romantic (like myself) would be envious of. They compliment and balance each other in so many different aspects of life, it is such a refreshing thing to witness. Catherine and I have been having so much fun planning her wedding the last 8 months via Gchat (we are talented!) and making decisions for the wedding weekend, and he we are the week before the big day! I am so lucky to have her in my life and I can't wait to enjoy this wedding with her and her family! Here's to Catie and Kevin!! 9.5!! Love you both! xxxo Kaitlin
