A lil’ stuffed up and woozy (caught a cold last weekend), but outside of that I feel cheerful and optimistic.
My black, tropical wool BCBG suit. It has a classic cut that even after about 10 years hasn’t really gone out of style. I’ve worn it to so many different functions, and it always makes me feel chic, put together… and tall.
I blast upbeat music (right now I’m lovin’ on Estelle’s album, Shine) and bust out my cheesy dance moves!
I’m wearing uber-minimal makeup today: Stila Lash Visor on my eyes, MAC Strobe Kiss Tinted Lip Conditioner on my lips and Stila Mango Crush on my cheeks.
Benefit Posie Tint has been rockin’ my world as of late.
I can’t stop reaching for Urban Decay’s Skyscraper Multi-Benefit mascara.
Ugh, pretty scrubby today — a white t-shirt, jeans and flip flops. I did accessorize, though, with some bright blue earrings, so I haven’t totally given up, LOL!
The sound of my mom’s laugh. 🙂
