Rise and shine, morning glory! 🙂 I hope you had a wonderful week. No complaints out here. Last night I even spent a little time shopping — online, for things to help me with one of my New Year’s resolutions.
Yup, I’m still on a mission to stop dressing like a 15-year-old skater boy (a hard habit to break, apparently), and I found a couple of pricey possibilities at Anthropologie.
What do ya think of this romper and trench?
Leifsdottir Scattered Wing Romper on the left ($168) and Tulip-Hem Trench on the right ($298)
Cute, yeah? I really 
the romper, but I don’t know… Sometimes I wonder if things like rompers have an upper age limit that I might have passed.
I also love the jacket, but I wish it came in a different color. I’d have this one covered in makeup and cat hair in about a hot minute.
OOH! I came across a new designer (well, new to me) on the Nordstrom site that I wanted to ask you about. Are you familiar with Presley Skye? She (he?) has these soft, flowy dresses in colorful, springy prints (can you tell I’m ready for spring?).
Presley Skye Silk Kimono Sleeve Faux Wrap Dress on the left ($138) and Print Crêpe de Chine Dress ($138) on the right
Those dresses look so comfy, and if I’m smiling this much just looking at pictures of ’em, I can only imagine what wearing one would do to me.
Is it spring yet?
No? Well, at least it’s giveaway time. 🙂

Super cute pieces! I think you’d look fab in them. I adore rompers and think they can look great on any age that can pull them off 😉 Get it, girl!
That romper is cute! You are not past the age limit. Rock it!!!
Thanks for the giveaway!! Have a wonderful weekend-happy shopping!
I just don’t get rompers…but I’m old, lol.
I’m absolutely loving bright spring prints, which is a shame, since I’m starting cosmetology school and need to get an all black wardrobe!
Oh well, fun makeup and exciting accessories here I come!
P.s. I love the romper!
No rompers for me, thanks.
Thanks for the giveaway!

Oh my God those dresses! Soooo nice!
Not a fan of rompers on me but I do like the look of that trench!! Current drugstore crush – tie between L’Oreal Infallible shadows & Revlon Lip Butters!
Twinkies! 😉
I’ve had a crazy week – I had an unexpected job interview, a midterm, and a presentation. I was looking forward to winding down this weekend, but I have two more midterms this upcoming week! Luckily the week after is my “spring” break (we call it Reading Week at my Canadian school)!
Thanks for holding this giveaway.
I’d really like to try the new Organix Shampoo/Conditioner in Awapuhi Ginger!
Saturdays: waking up at 11AM, French toast, freshly brewed coffee 😀
I hate rompers. And I’m only 19, LOL.
Those dresses are so pretty 🙂
I don’t think I could do rompers, I have a long torso and they just look weird on me. I would really love to win this Sephora card, momma has some makeup shopping to do! <3
It has turned mighty cold here in Texas. Burrrrrr! 🙂
Envying Judy and her french toast! 😀
No jumpers for me, but they are pretty cute… you might rock it!
Another Saturday in which I enter the Sephora gc draw. Perhaps I will be lucky this week.
Watching Food Network chocolate week with coffee and your website. Perfect day =)
I love coffee, it’s my favorite part of the morning!
Oh man, I have so much makeup that I never wear. I have so many eyeshadows but there are definitely at least five I have never worn.
Normally, I’d say hell to the no on rompers, but that one actually looks very sophisticated.
I haven’t worn a romper since I was in grade school. I don’t think I will be wearing one soon. However, I do love the fabric!!
I like rompers! I think they can be super cute 😀
I have a shade of bright red lipstick I’ve only wore once, because it was part of my Halloween costume.
I’ve never tried a romper, but that one looks good enough to change my mind! So cute!
Snowballs!
I’m not a fan of rompers, but that one is uber cute.
I love anthropologie! … Too bad their clothes are out of my budget though :/
Ii can’t for for Valentines day. Single me + wine.
That romper is adorable. I haven’t dipped my toe in those waters yet… but maybe once the snow melts I’ll have to reconsider!
I never wear eyeshadow. That romper is adorable, go for it!
My dogs want me to win this gift card!
I never wear primer, I just don’t bother with the extra step even tho I have several. I want that trench and both of those dresses!
I heart Anthropologie! I love girly, vintagy clothes and this store always has the most amazing, unique pieces. My hubs calls it “The Closet”. Have a great weekend! 😉
what a crazyyy week!!! but i really do like that kimono dress!
The romper is cut but how does one manage to make it to the bathroom?
I’m more of a coat gal- when you live in colder climates you can’t have enough- although I agree with you, a white coat/trench of any type is just asking for trouble.
Rompers are adorable, but I hate the idea of completely undressing every time I have to pee. Crass, but true!
ooh, I love that Scattered Wing romper!!
Thanks for the giveaway, Karen.
Rompers are so cute and love! I hate when I layer tops over them and have to use the restroom though… So much trouble ;(
The rompers are super cute!
Rompers are horrible!
I think rompers can be super cute on some body types. Just not mine! Lol! I love the print on that romper though, almost as much as I love Sephora!!
omg that romper is bananas!!! its a little long, so perfect for our age group 🙂
I love rompers but I find it hard to find ones that fit both the bottom and the top well 🙁
Super cute trench! And I love the romper with tights!
I think you should go for the romper, its so cute and age appropriate in my opninion.
I wish I could wear rompers…I think it makes my legs look stumpier lol
I love your giveaways! 🙂
rompers are adorable.. but i have a long torso, so if i even try it… well.. let’s just say a certain desert animals foot might make an appearance.
I had a navy blue polka dot romper that I loved. But, that was senior year of high school. I don’t think I could pull it off now!
That is a cute romper! I can’t pull them off =( they never seem to fit right. I think it’s because I’m tall. That’s why I love makeup if you find something you love and that works for you, you’ll never be too big or small for it.
The romper is really pretty! Thanks for another giveaway!
Cuuuute 😀
I’m loving the Tulip-Hem Trench!!! that coat is drop dead gorgeous!!!
I cant do a pushup but I’m working on it!! I go to the gym everyday now, hopefully ill be able to do a pull up someday soon! 🙂
I want to scoff at rompers, but I kind of want to live the kind of life where I lounge around in them poolside all day….
I love those dresses though – going to have to go check them out now!
I love all of it! The romper, trench and the dresses… colorful, comfy and flowy is my style! Have a great weeked, Karen!
I love that romper! I think there’s less of an age limitt than a weight limit- Karen, you could totally pull it off but I never could.
love! a white trench- so chic
I don’t know about rompers and jump suits, being overweight myself for me it’s a major pass, but if the challenge suits, go rock it! Love the color/pattern!
I love rompers. so easy because you don’t need to think about a top AND bottom!
Love the dresses!
I love the romper!
i want to win!!!!
I have a cold in the middle of summer, yuck…
Hiya, I am hoping you could take some time to look at my beauty blog, it is obsessedaboutbeauty.blogspot.cÂom please feel free to take a look xx
I love that romper posted on.your page. I have found that doing push-ups is very attractive to men! Ha ha.
Love that romper but I drink too much water to wear one…
I am scared I couldn’t pull of the romper look!
I too dress like a 15-year old skater boy, haha! I’m always in hoodies, tank tops, jeans, and either my converse sneakers or a pair of flats.
The one piece of makeup I have and never use is lip gloss– I have a few in my makeup collection, but I never wear them. I am more of a tinted lip balm kind of girl, my fave being Clinique’s Chubby Stick in Graped Up.
I am TERRIFIED of rompers. I can’t imagine ever feeling comfortable wearing one!
I love those dresses!
Wish I could pull off a romper..just don’t love the look on me, but love it on others.
I’d like to give a shout out to my fly peeps T-Money and K-Dawg – Holla holla!!
thank you for offering so many give aways!
i really love rompers. they are so carefree!
Those dresses are lovely!
That trench is gorgeous! 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway Karen!
I think rompers are cute those who can actually pull it off. I feel like most people can’t but still wear them.
The trench and the dresses, yes. The romper? Probably not. I’d love to be working and wearing those dresses though. Gorgeous!
Twinkies! 🙂
That romper is BEYOND cute. I say go for it!
I love the trench! I would get it in any and every color! Not sure about the romper but I love the fabric pattern. If you’re looking for spring clothes, I love Free People’s spring collection!
Pink snowballs.
I love the dresses, and the trench is cute too. I personally find rompers uncomfortable (taking them off in the bathroom is annoying!) and they make my legs look stumpy, but if you can rock it, you should definitely go for it – it’s a really cute piece. 🙂
love that color purple on the romper… also one of my favorite colors to line eyes with!
I love the pink dress in the photo above.
I think rompers are adorable… on the right person. I look ridiculous in them 😛
I wish we had more snow!
I like rompers but I’m way to pale to show that much leg! I’d have to hand out sunglasses everywhere I went lol
i hate the rain!
I’m not a fan of rompers… I think only a few people can pull them off, but you may be one! I know I’m not 🙁
Wishing for spring! I absolutely adore rompers, except when I need the washroom XD. Thanks for the giveaway!
Karen, I always enjoy reading your blog, I am a subscriber and a beauty blogger myself. I love your pictures! Keep up the good work and I hope Tabs and El Hub get you something nice for V-Day. PS, I think you would look great in the purple romper.
The white coat is completely gorgeous!
Mmmm…. Twinkies!
I want to start wearing cute dresses and skirts, more girly things because this jeans and a t shirt thin is getting old.
I love that romper! The flowing spring dresses are lovely as well 🙂
Adorable choices Karen! You have a good eye! I love Anthropology. Just wish they 1. had bigger sizes and 2. were a little cheaper! In a perfect world I guess….
There have been many drugstore items that I’m really impressed with lately. The Revlon Colorburst lip butters have been a staple lately. I’m loving the Maybelline tatoo cream eyeshadows and gel liners too. I may just stop shopping high end.
I like rompers that look like dresses from afar. I hate the ones that have obvious waistbands haha 🙂
Getting ready to watch Star Wars Episode 1 in 3D!!
anthropologie online window shopping everyday <3
Just got paid and hitting up Ulta later. This could be dangerous!
I’m 5 feet exactly and don’t think rompers would fit me appropriately unless I get them tailored.
I like rompers, but I’m always afraid of the dreaded “Romper Wedgie”. Thats just no good.
I love rompers on babies.
I love sephora so much! i go in there just to look at all the amazing products and smell the glorious perfumes!
I love the trench! I love spring clothes!
The trench and romper are awesome! I can totally see you in them.
At home with a cold. : ( Dear nose, I hate you.
That romper is SO cute. I don’t wear them, afraid I can’t pull it off, but I might give it a try. You should, too.
Love thinking about spring weather clothes. Bought a romper on sale this winter and can’t wear it yet!!
i own an animal print romper… i like it but the shorts part of it are teeny tiny!
I would like the rumper more if it was a dress, I love rumpers but not that one
This is a great giveaway. Rompers are my fave, it’s an entire outfit in one. I love especially the one you featured. Thanks!
I could never wear a romper, LOL
I love the look of rompers, I just don’t think I could pull it off!
I also went shopping yesterday! I ended up spending 183$ for 6 shirts! I’ve never spent so much money in one store before! But it felt great, I really had an awful week and needed some cheering up. Have a wonderful weekend, Karen! <3

Rompers are extremely cute but when it comes to using the restroom it can get a little difficult because you have to undress.
Not a fan of the jumper/onesie thing, but I do love that blue dress! Wow. I’m not a girly girl, but I’d wear that!
I appreciate a romper on bodytypes other than mine!
Banana!
I like the romper and think you can rock it. It’s sweet but also sophisticated. A definite purchase!
Uy, how fun shopping I can’t wait to see the romper on you!
I love that white trench! I’m not a romper girl myself though. Although I also work a corporate job…and I like to have clothes that I can dress up for work or dress down for weekend. I don’t have many that can’t be used for both, and a romper would definitely not be able to be used for work. 🙂
Twinkies AND Snowballs!!!!
I like the trench but it would be better in black.
I own quite a few lipglosses but rarely wear them. I had that sticky feeling on my lips.
*hate not had. Lol 🙂
I like rompers! 🙂
No allergies today, yay!
I LOVE the pattern on the romper! Happy Saturday!
I’ve been stalking Neiman Marcus, and I finally secured THE summer shoes, my Christian Louboutin Summerissima. Love the tan contrast with the white python! http://heels.shoerazzi.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Christian-Louboutin-Summerissima-platform-sandal.jpg
I’m eyeing those same dresses! I like the look of rompers but my only thing with them is going to the bathroom. Not cool about being completely undressed to pee, especially if I had to use a public restroom. Just saying.
I like lipglosses that tingle! Very refreshing :]
ive been on nordstrom.com all day yesterday looking for a dress! thank you for the tips above! 🙂
I think rompers are adorable and look best on tall, slender, leggy girls. The only issue I have with them is you basically have to take the whole thing off if you need to use the restroom. They’re too impractical for me and I think I’m getting a little too old for them now. Love them on younger ladies though.
i am definitely a twinkie girl!
Thanks for the giveaway Karen!
My Jazz has made a full recovery! Hopefully I get to bring him home by Monday. He’s still hanging out at the animal hospital. 🙂
I’m feeling lucky today!! Ugh tried new spring Dior palette for eyes and surprised at lack of quality for sixty dollars. Such a shame:(
I don’t think a romper is something I can pull off, it is cute though!
I like lip glosses that have tingle! My favorite are by buxom!
I am frozen! It is <> here. Brrrrrr.
that is supposed to say COLD
Not really into rompers. They look too much like onesies! Elise, I agree about buxom. The only thing is that I have to wear some lip balm underneath and not purse my lips too much so my lips don’t get chapped.
I can do a pushup!
And those dresses are sooooooo cute!
I Love Sephora!
Love the romper!
I need to go shopping!
I’m a lip junkie. I have all kinds of lip products and I can’t stop buying more and more. The ones that tingle are definitely my favorites!!! 🙂
Hi Karen, this is my first time commenting on your blog. I really like the jacket, although I agree with you that I would rather it be in a different color (white clothing makes me paranoid). Thank you for the giveaway!
I really like rompers! Or as my teenage cousin and I call them “rum-pahs”, LoL
My record is 88 push ups!
I have this nude lipstick that just isn’t flattering on me so I never wear it.
My passion besides makeup is dancing! I dance 6-8 hours per week 🙂
That romper is adorable! I think it’s easier to wear shorts rompers than pants rompers. It’s snowing here in Philly so my dress days are very far away!!
Currently obsessing over revlon lip butters, barr-co.lotion, and prada candy.
I love rompers! I think they really do accentuate everyone’s body type.
I am loving those Presley Skye dresses!
raspberry zingers
Just got MAC’s Flower Fantasy powder the other day. Loving it so far. =)
The one piece of makeup that I never wear is purple lipstick!
I’m not really a romper kind of girl. 😀
I love pink lipsticks, though I can’t decide what lipstick to buy – Chanel Kensington or Lancome Soft Candy. 😉
I don’t know if I would ever wear one, but rompers are growing on me. I do love the print on the one featured here!
I love the print of that romper and if it came in a blouse then def! But I think rompers are tough for most people to pull off. I am thinking ahead to spring though. Just got the nars Mexican rose lip gloss pencil and I love it! Bright but wearable. Look forward to wearing all spring/summer.
I, for one, *love* tingly lipglosses, because it makes me feel and think that it’s plumping up my lips!
I am doing make up for my assistants for winter formal today.
I love rompers and personally, I don’t think they have an upper age limit. They look cute on everyone!
I love Sephora! It’s my birthday this coming up Saturday and I can do some damage there. 🙂
I kind of like the look of rompers -its really cute, but I find it really impractical. Imagine trying to get out of that thing to pee!
The romper is cute, and since it’s longer than most and has a more sophisticated cut to it, no worries about age limit. Now if it had super tiny “poom-poom” shorts, that would be an age(and decency) issue.
I love rompers!
Those dresses from Nordstrom look gorgeous–especially the one on the left! And I definitely think you can rock a romper! I’m in my mid/late twenties and I have a romper! Go for it!
I got a really cute coral romper from Express last summer! It will be my go to piece for the pool/beach this year!
Even when I was young and in shape I couldn’t do a push up. I hate doing sit ups. I don’t do floor exercises at all. I prefer doing all my exercises standing up–cardio.
I thought I HATED rompers, but I think that’s because I was seeing the same forever21 rompers on every girl. I think styled properly (or even for lazy easy days) with maybe a blazer and some wedges they can be great 🙂
Did you hear that Fergie is the new beauty ambassador for Wet’n’wild? Cray-zay!
I cannot do a proper pushup 🙁 BUT I’ve been working on it!!

No me gusta lipglosses that tingle!
Yeah, I’ve got to start getting in shape…!
I used to be able to do all sorts of pushups (including with claps!) but not anymore 🙁
Eehhh…rompers aren’t really my thing. But I love the print and color!
Oh my gosh, I’ve never had a Snowball..! BRB, gonna make a quick run to the store. 🙂
hmm. i hate lipsticks/lipglosses that tingle and i can’t do a single push up 🙁
these are some depressing questions karen.. haha i joke.
i used to love wearing rompers but trying to drink lots of water + rompers just don’t get along too well….. i don’t really feel like stripping in public bathrooms yaknow 😀
I just purchased Smashbox’s BB Cream and am loving it!
Love that Nordstrom merch!! Gorgeous prints. Must have. I also like rompers, although I’ve never worn one. Did you see the polka dot romper that Kenley designed on Project Runway Allstars last week? The judges ate it up, although I wasn’t as convinced.
I’m eating some steamed dumplings right now. Delicious.
I used to use gel eyeliner every day, but now I just use eyeshadows wet since I want some color without buying a whole mess of gel eyeliners I’ll never finish
Love that white trench! Very cute 🙂
I get to eat yummy sushi today : )
I don’t really like rompers, but I love all of those spring dresses.
I love rompers! But you gotta be real careful about where the waistband is placed. It can take you from fahionable to frumpy!
Ii love Sephora and feel like I go there every week! Today I think I will pick up some fragrance….Coco Mademoiselle. Thanks for the contest!
Rompers, I haven’t thought of those since my childhood!
Nay on the rompers. Bad flashbacks to school gym uniforms they made us wear one year.
I can do a real man push up. But just one. Maybe two.
My favorite online site is Modcloth.com for stuff like that. They come in my super tiny size!
I can’t do a pushup…I’m so puny. 🙁
I’m not a fan of rompers, but if you feel like you can rock it, go for it, Karen!
Have a lovely weekend, everyone!
Currently pissed off that I received the wrong item from a seller on ebay.
I’m not a fan of rompers, but that blue one sure looks cute.
Oh I love the trench!! AND that dress to the right-it is absolutely gorgeous! I don’t even wear dresses but I feel like I HAVE to have that one! So cute! Not so sure about the romper though. They can sometimes be cute-but I’m not really digging the long-sleeved romper…but of course, that’s just my personal opinion 🙂
I love a well-made romper. I think they can make your legs look great and they can do casual and cocktail. I abhor tingly glosses! I curse Bare Essentials every time I wear one of their Buxom glosses. Standing in a cold wind while wearing one of those glosses is downright painful!
The print on the romper in great! But if you’re looking for some more cute (a little cheaper!) pieces, check out the clothes by Aqua on the Bloomingdales website.
I agree with the romper age limit! Then again, I’m not a fan of rompers…
I bought one chambray romper with a tie at the waist during the summer last year, wore it once, felt like a potato, and never wore it again! But then again I think my body type just isn’t suited for rompers or high waisted jeans! But you can rock it! 🙂
I love the trench! Have not found one I love yet!! Thanks for the opportunity to win
I love those dress, and the romper is perfect for spring!
i hate lipglosses that tingle.
Twinkies, but then I’ve never had a snowball.
Love that romper! If there’s an upper age limit, you definitely haven’t reached it yet!
i think rompers are cute. gotta be the shorts though, i do not enjoy the pant versions. those dresses are cute, not crazy about the patterns, but the silhouettes are nice.
and twinkies ALL the way. i also do not enjoy coconut.
I’m too fat for rompers 🙁
I think rompers are best left to those whose ages number in the single digits. Overalls too. There’s something about an adult in overalls that makes them look like a bizarrely overgrown toddler.
I tried 2 tingling lip glosses today– Buxom’s Big & Healthy and Smashbox’s O-gloss. Buxom’s was better, hands-down! It tingled in a pleasant, subtle way, and worked so well that even though the gloss was in a very pale nude, my lips pinked up nicely beneath it. The O-gloss tingled more powerfully, to the point of discomfort, and didn’t pink me up at all. Bleh.
I love that coat. Anthropologie has the cutest stuff, that I can’t afford!
Don’t think rompers would look good on me, but I’m feeling spring dresses
I used to like lip glosses that tingle. But nowadays, my lips react to different products including products that leave a tingling feeling. I only go creme finishes to prevent any allergy reaction.
Ohh I just love rompers!! And those two dresses look amazing! <3
My un used products are def Mac msf. Ive got petticoat & so Ceylon and I never use it. Now that I’m thinking about it I’m gonna put the on top of my dresser so they are in my face and I may be more inclined to put them to use.
I really love the look of that romper and the Print Crêpe de Chine Dress. I think you can pull off the style too! I think pulling something off is really just about confidence anyway.
I’m SO ready for spring, I’m visiting le bf in Chicago and it’s so cold here. it even snowed the other day. I’ve actually gotten sick from the cold here as well, and I hadn’t been for so long! boo.
hope you have a good weekend~
TWINKIES….HANDS DOWN!!! 😉
Without a doubt…TWINKIES….HANDS DOWN! 😉
I,always buy really bright colored lipsticks but I hardly wear them much.
Twinkies!
Just had such a yummy meal. Vegetable souffle, jumbo shrimp, fresh bread, Riesling. Now time for an amazing nap.
Rompers are cute, but… how do you go to the bathroom with them?
Rompers are only cute on small children IMHO…
LOVE that white trench!
I adore the print/color of the romper, it looks grown up and ladylike – I am sure you ccan pull it off.
Hi Karen! I love that trench coat, so cute for spring! Let us know which one you get (or both!)!
No Rompers for me! They remind of of the way I was dressed in 2nd grade!
Red Corduroy! Ugh!
I absolutely love rompers!
I love rompers! I think they’re so cute and effortlessly chic.
I own cream blush but never wear it. I don’t know why! haha
I love rompers but can’t really pull them off. I think they look great on super tall girls, though!
I’m not much of a romper person (even though the one you pick is adorable), but the other pieces are gorgeous. I particularly love the trench coat). I feel you about the pains (and expense) of dressing like an adult. I went to a university event last night, and I really had to think about my wardrobe choices (it needed to be business casual and relatively grown up).
I never use my nars amour blush
No to rompers and nay to lipglosses that tingle!
I used to be able to do pushups, but I’m three weeks away from having a baby. There’s a giant tummy in the way!
I’m going to need some high powered eye cream after that, and the gift card would be wonderful.
Those dresses are so cute !=D
Crossing my fingers… was the victim of a swaplifter… so I’d appreciate this GC.
About the romper–cute print, but just don’t do it! The age limit is 2.
I am way too old for rompers. But I can do lots of pushups, even pullups.
I can totally do pushups! I made it a goal for 2011 so I hope to maintain it this year. There is an app called “Drop and Give Me Twenty” where you put your phone under your face and every time your nose taps the screen, it fills up a little progress bar. It gets really hard after awhile though.
I still dress like a 15 year old nerdy boy sometimes. You’ll take my video game t-shirts away from my cold dead hands.
I’m always on the search for the perfect foundation-shade, formula, etc. so have a ton, but never wear it! It always makes me feel too “made up”.
I’ve been doing some dress browsing on Nordstrom myself. I’m definitely ready for spring!!!
I have been hunting for cute day dresses, but no luck so far. That romper is cute!
I really think i’m too old for rompers. That trenchcoat, now, is cute!
the pink kimono-style dress is gorgeous!
Love the trench coat & yes, I can defintely do push ups! 🙂
I love rompers although going to the bathroom can be a pain in the a$$!
Oh dear, Pam, you’ve got a point! :-O
Rompers are so cute especially for spring and summer!
I think I have an abnormally long torso bc rompers never fit me right!! But that one is super cute!!
We got the first big snow this year here in MI, perfect timing to plan a romantic ski trip getaway next week. It will be the first Valentine’s day as husband and wife. So excited, can’t wait!
I think rompers are most appropriate and attractive on girls under the age of 12. Those Presley Skye dresses, however, are really cute!
Snowballs, twinkies, and frosted cupcakes are all my favorites!
While I like the idea of rompers..I have had no success in them…they make me look pregneant! D: lol
I can do a pushup, well, actually I can do more than one (:
I can do a pushup or two. My favorite lip gloss is bacon flavored.
A good romper with heels sounds amazing….if only I were brave enough!
I haven’t had a Twinkie in forever, but now you’ve made me want one.
I’m also trying to revamp my style, I’m even going to buy *gasp* heels. All throughout college I’ve been a flats and Converse shoes girls, but now that I’m graduating, I gotta step it up!
I saw a video for a coral lip and cheek with a matte gray eye. I tried it today and loved it!
I share your feelings towards rompers, Karen…
Twinkies, but even more so, Orange Hostess Cupcakes. 😀
I think as the winter goes on, I’m getting more and more into the minimal makeup look. I’ve really been drawn to the look of flawless skin, some blusher, some natural lip color, and curled lashes 🙂
I love those dresses!
Online shopping is great just make sure to learn the store’s return policy. Some of my fave online shops are: TopShop, ASOS, French Connection, Reiss, Zara and Mango
I made some pretty tasty double dark chocolate pecan oatmeal cookies today.
Hi Karen-
Heading for Marvin’s this weekend? Do try the pancakes for a change! They are sooooo YUM. And if you are feeling really sinful, add a side of bacon or sausage. As I recall the bacon there is great. Alas, I have not been there in years. Closest thing I can make to their pancakes (and the all time BEST pancakes in the world–Sinton’s Hollywood) is the Fiber One Buttermilk pancake mix. Really yummy.
If you do get bacon, bring home a bite for Tabs! Better yet, bring him along and let him sign pawtographs. Aalert the press, and who knows, he might make front page in the Advance or IJ!

I’ve been craving sweets, especially oreos… without the stuffing !
I absolutely love that white trench. I think trench coats work for every figure. I always feel like my waistline is smaller with a trench.
Twilight movie night with my family!
Rompers — cute in theory but would never, ever work on me.
You should take advantage of Nordstrom’s FREE personal stylist service!! It’s awesome!
I have mascaras but never wear them. My lashes always touch my glasses if I’m wearing any!
i love rompers but i can never pull that look off!
I think rompers are adorable when age appropriate. There really isn’t any type of beauty product that I own that I don’t use. I love them all. Thank you for this great oppotunity for such a fun gift!
I love the look of a romper but, I’m not sure if I would be able to pull one off! The one in this picture really makes me want to give it a try though.
Count me in! 😉
Thanks for the giveaway! Just finished watching The Lion King with the kiddos. My favorite beauty crush is Mexican Rose. Ahh I must have 🙂
my kid drives me crazy during dinner time 😀
Love the romper! I couldn’t pull it off, but I bet you will 🙂
I can’t stand tingly lipgloss. I have a habit of licking my lips every once in a while and tingly tongue is even worse than tingly lips!
I love love twinkies.
I like to rock a push up, not gonna lie.
Don’t like tingle lipgloss.
No on rompers..I’m way too short.
Beauty crush: YSL Vintage candy eye palette, NARS’ new super shiny glosses. Holy shine, batman!
I think if you do rompers with a long trouser, then it’s always age appropriate. Short rompers might have an age limit…maybe? It is hard to say.
Had a good day, but almost got knocked over from the wind.
I would pick twinkies.
I love the idea of rompers, but I have never bought on – I always see them online but something is never quite right (i.e. colour wouldn’t suit me; too low-cut; etc..).
I have my eye on a black and green one by Motel on ASOS at the moment though 😉
I love rompers! I’ve been wearing them for a long time and Karen I don’t think you are anywhere close to being too old to wear one. You’re still young!
I love u Karen:) u make my day ur posts are hilarious and so well written
I like turtles :3
And your blog ofc karen
That romper is abs adorable
Those dresses are beautiful but quite pricey!
Today we lost a legend! 🙁
I do not like tingly lipglosses at all. I think rompers are cute, but they don’t look attractive on me. Oh, and tomorrow, Feb 12, is my birthday 🙂
I got a whole new set of cookware today. And now I have so much I don’t know where to put it. Looks like my future hubby and I need to start looking for a bigger place. Not really, I refuse to move twice in a year.
I’m so sad Whitney died! RIP Whitney!
im so crushing on that scattered wing romper <3
I love the pattern on that romper, but I don’t think I can pull them off. That kimono sleeve dress though, that needs to be in my spring wardrobe!!! Now that all the stores are rolling out the spring colours and collections, I can’t wait 🙂
Yay!
It’s going to be so cold tonight!
i want to wear eye liners but they all smudge on me no matter what… so i use dark shadows as eyeliner… bah
It was my birthday last Feb 9! 🙂
It’s the weekend!!!!
I just got a sample of the Buxom lipgloss in Katie from Sephora. I like it, even though they spelt Katie wrong (shld be Katy). But it’s almost like a clear gloss on me. I do like the tingling and the mintiness. It’s not too sticky either.
I can’t live without red lipstick and perfume.
I’m not a big romper fan… I guess I’m just not that hip. I tried on a jumpsuit at Anthropologie once for entertainment only, and I was surprised at how wearable it was but I couldn’t see myself ever wearing it out of the dressing room.
I love all the clothing choices actually! although i agree rompers can be tricky to pull off for anyone above the age 17. I think the print and top of the romper are mature and stylish, and makes the out fit really trendsetting and edgy. The dresses are to die for, so beachy. I also just picked up some of cook/shop mac collection yesterday and i’m excited to try them out (3 lip sticks, 1 fluild line and 1 blush).
Holy! thanks for reading all this & thanks for the awesome giveaway!
I keep buying bronzer but have yet to use them, not sure why.
i think I’m too fat for rompers.
i don’t like tingling lipgloss,but i do love minty lipgloss which usually comes with slight tingling sensation though,it makes me fell so refreshed! 😀
Real excited for this giveaway:DD and I love the romper.. GOod Luck everyone!:)
I have yet to find a romper that i can pull off 🙁
Love your blog! I am learning so much. Keep up the great reviews.
I would never buy a romper solely because of the bathroom issue 😛
i love rompers!! but i can’t do pushups 🙁
I don’t usually like lipglosses that tingle unless I really like the color!
It’s a point of pride w/ me that I *try* to wear all of my makeup, and never stick to one thing. Of course this results in never using anything up…
Sephora have been selling bb creams, I have one of my own and its great!
Makeup is addictive 😛
I’m also getting out of the habit of dressing like a young skater boy. Hard to get out of the habit though…
My birthday is in less than 2 weeks and I am really wanting the Urban Decay Naked 2 pallet (which just so happens to be $50). So if I won this gift card… that’s what I would use it for!!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
Went to the Hostess factory when I was 8yrs old. The line workers let me hold my little paper bag at the end of the line to catch the broken Twinkies. Best day ever!
Pushup for a triple D, doesn’t fly, nor do rompers. Hard to find a good bra just like a good face cream!
Definitely can’t do a pushup!
Rompers make using public restrooms very awkward.
I own black lipstick that I’ve never, ever worn. Not even for Halloween.
I do like lip glosses that tingle. Sometimes. 😉
I can do a push up. And probably no more than that!
Maybelline Color Tattoo cream eye shadow and E.L.F. eye primer!
Twinkies. Definitely Twinkies.
Oooh that romper is pretty!
The white trench coat I absolutely gorgeous!! It is on my wishing list now~ 😀
Lip gloss that tingles is my fave 🙂
Ho-Hos kick Twinkies’ little spongy butts.
LOVE LOVE LOVE that trench coat! <3
Just say no to the romper! White trench I’d wear if it was black! The dresses are cute!
I love rompers with blazers but it’s too much of a hassle when you have to go to the bathroom….lol!
I decided to do the Britney mani you did a while ago and I LOVED it
What I’m not loving is removing it D:
Love that trench coat~
I’ve never worn rompers. I feel my butt is just too big to carry them off.. but I love seeing others in them.. they’re so cute1
Speaking of lipgloss! I would love to try one from Chanel!
I am in definite need of sleep although I am having a weekend of pamper – brows, nails, and hair! I also treated myself to some Benefit and MAC. I am feeling very spoiled!
I never use my MAC eyeshadow in mythology… Terrible fall out.
Hey Karen… I personally love rompers- they’re absolutely fabulous for summer and spring. Love your blog; Keep up the good work <3
One type of makeup that I own and rarely ever use would probably be Eyeshadow Primer. I rarely ever wear eyeshadow in a day to day basis, but I do use Eyeshadow Primer for those special occasions. 🙂
I can do no pushups whatsoever. LOL
I am dying to get my hands on the new Paul and Joe Collection. The cat packaging is illegally cute!
I love the white trench!
Rompers look cute on some, but they’re a definite no-go for me.
Rompers? Nah – I’m a jeans-and-t-shirt (long sleeved or short sleeved, boat-necked or crew-necked or scoop-necked, striped or spotted or plain – any kind of t, really!) kind of girl. And I may be 42 years old, but I still wear my sneakers with them. When I go to work, on the other hand, now that’s when I get all dressed up in a suit or nice pants and lovely but professional-looking top.
I like lipglosses that tingle, feels nice 😀
i have never worn a romper before but when I do find that right print and style romper that suit my body shape I will buy and wear the heck out of it… 🙂
How do you feel about rompers?
If you’re no longer in elementary school, they look ridiculous.
What’s one piece of makeup you own but never wear?
Eyeliner.
Do you like lipglosses that tingle?
Nope, so uncomfortable!
Can you do a pushup?
No… 🙁
What’s your latest drugstore beauty crush?
The new Yes To Carrots color balms. They must be mine!
Twinkies or Snowballs?
Snowballs, definitely. Chocolate always wins over vanilla. 🙂
I’m not convinced there’s an age limit on rompers, but I do think they’re questionable on anyone…but if someone wants to rock one, they ought to go for it. =)
I hate lipglosses that tingle. The problem is that many of new lipstics tingle too:(
I can do a push up – a girly one on my knees, anyway – but not a pull up. :/
I love love love rompers! I feel as though I definitely need to try them on before committing. I have a really super cute one from forever 21. It makes my legs look so long! Anyway much loves to your blog friend 🙂
All of the pieces you picked out would look fantastic on you. Maybe you could dye the trench? Or stain guard it first? I know I’m super scared of whites for the same reason…makeup and (in my case) dog hair.
I like the blue and purple dress on the bottom picture, right side. tweeted as polarbelle123. Have a great day
For a cute flushed look I apply hot pink lipstick only on the inside part of lips then blend out. Instant cute lips!
Idk about the romper, but I love the trench coat!!
Rompers look cute!
enter me!
I love the blue dress!
I love that trench!
I like the jacket and the Print Crêpe de Chine Dress! I continue to buy pretty nail polish but haven’t worn polish for years.
I know I’m too old for rompers but that is a cute one.
Just discovered this blog a few days ago, and I must say I’m in love! Love that you always show color swatches on human skin. That being said, I really like the anthropologie romper and the pink Presley Skye dress, you will look adorable in either.
First, let me say that my kitty has just decided that her give-me-love-right-now! lap session is to take place immediately, no exceptions, and so I am having a bit of a struggle with the keyboard, and I do apologize for any typos or the possible mid-sentence departure (kitty will only stand for so much of this computer nonsense before she redirects my attention to the task at hand, that is, the area below her chin needs to be scratched). Rompers are lovely but I don’t know if I could pull that one off, something about the cut makes it seem a bit heavy for a romper, but then again, it’s a nice intermediary romper for the spring, with the lighter and less structured versions are great for summer.
What I really wanted to comment on is something that has me very upset.. I cannot find these two items anywhere in my city: Maybelline Color Tattoo 24HR Eyeshadows , and Maybelline Master Shape Brow Pencils. I could go on and on about how I have spent hours and hours scrutinizing the drugstore cosmetic aisles for brow products, and at this point, I am pretty sure I’ve tried them all. And I still havent found one I actually like! I found one once, but all the stores in my area stopped carrying it a month later… and as promising as Maybelline’s define=a=brow seemed, the darn thing only lasted me one day because it was so stiff that it kept snapping off! Well, kitty is pawing at my face, time to wrap it up. Has anyone else had trouble locating these new items? Is there any use in hoping maybe they will arrive on the store shelves in Prescott, AZ a little past the initial product launch dates??
Thanks for this chance to win , well second chance actually, except I don’t know how to re-tweet so I have my fingers crossed for that one!
Those flowy dresses look lovely! I always try on rompers but have never taken one home; they always look somehow wrong on me; I think I look better with pieces of clothing that accentuates my waist or else I just look like a block! I love lip glosses with mint!
I think you can definitly pull off a romper! The one in the picture is very classy!! I love your style but you would look great in any of those pieces:)
Rompers? JUST. SAY. NO!!
I love your blog!!! your writing style is great, so happy and bubbly!
Hmm. When I think of rompers I see those terry cloth ones on my brain. NOT the classy piece above. Ordinarily i would say that rompers do have an age limit, but the absolutely gorgeous piece you have pictured does not fall into that category for me. Just get that “Romper” and enjoy wearing it and being beautiful at the same time!!!
I love the floral dresses. They look very breezy and spring/summery. Also, the coat looks fabulous, but I agree, it might be impossible to keep it clean.
I dunno about the rompers… I think they’re the kind of thing that looks amazing on the runway but slightly “off” in real life.
I’m not very good at pushups. :/
Eeek. I must have a case of official oldness because…I think rompers look weird in real life unless you are under the age of 20 and a size 6 and smaller. I’m neither. Boo!
Hi Karen!
On the topic of lip glosses that tingle – I used to really be into Bath and Body Work’s lip glosses since they all have awesome flavors and a minty taste/tingle. But for the past few years I’ve grown to realize having so many sheer lip glosses is pointless and I now try to buy lip glosses that are highly pigmented, regardless of the flavor or if they tingle. Love your blog!
how do you feel about rompers? Risky
What’s one piece of makeup you own but never wear? False eyelashes
Do you like lipglosses that tingle? No
Can you do a pushup? Yes
What’s your latest drugstore beauty crush? Revlon PhotoReady Concealer
Twinkies or Snowballs? Neither…Funnybones (an east coast thing)
Ugh rompers. I think they can look awkward if you aren’t the right age 🙁
I can do more than one pushup 😀
I wish I could rock a romper because I think they’re really cute but they just don’t look good on me,
I like the IDEA of rompers but I am 5’2″ and have a short torso so rompers look crazy on me. If I had a body type that fit rompers, I would buy every romper in sight! I saw a romper in tan similar to this at Forever 21 awhile back. Go for it! =]
Style isn’t dictated by age, rock the jumpsuit Karen – you will make it look amazing!
my latest drugstore obsession is the new Revlon LipButter — I want them allllll
I absolutely LOVE that trench coat, it’s beautiful! My question to you is, can you name one product that you bought and really regret it?
I don’t like rompers at all but that trench is fabulous!
I’ve been trying to update my wardrobe as well but after two online orders and failing tremendously when I actually put the clothes on I’m headed to the mall on Tuesday to make some returns and hopefully get a couple new things. It’s hard work!
To be honest, I’m not a big fan of rompers. They remind me of jumpsuits (and that one girl from the movie “Meatballs”). I’m lucky that I didn’t grow up when they were really popular, but now it seems that they’re making a comeback.
As for makeup I never wear, bronzer. I have light skin, and I just don’t like how I look with a tan at all. It makes me look weird. I like showing off the lightness in my skin by using pink blushes and red lip colors. I hate the weather in winter, but it really works to show off my skin. =D
so excited for the new things i picked up at ulta yesterday!
I love rompers!!! can’t wait for summer to wear them again.
I love rompers! They’re super cute and simple, but the biggest con I can find is going to the bathroom in them! Lol.
Love lipglosses that tingle.
I do NOT want to start school tomorrow 🙁
I love the idea of rompers, but I just don’t have the hips and bust to pull it off — I feel like to make a romper work you have to make it womanly, sexy, otherwise you really do look like a 6 year old. Which is what *I* look like in a romper. 🙁
I love rompers but they just don’t seem to look good on me.
Such a beautiful day for hiking 🙂
I’m excited for Valentine’s Day, or rather the following Thursday…my boyfriend is taking me to the Ringling Bros circus!
I’ve been rewatching Harry Potter like mad… I’m so sad it’s over… I’m sorry this is not beauty related lol.
Anyhow I like the romper and the wrap dress! Perfect for Spring and Summer =D.
x Rica
I know what flatters my body, and a romper is not the look…
I can’t do one single push up lol
Love the kimono dress!
Being able to do 10 perfect push ups is my new years res!
Love rompers, but can’t wear them… Don’T have the guts to!
i will have to say that i think rompers are for children and hollywood, not real adults. but i do love the trench. though i agree with it getting dirty quickly!
It’s cold here.
I’m hungry
I feel bad about it, but I almost never use my UD Book of Shadows. I have 2, and they’re just collecting dust in the corner 🙁
I really like the kimono dress!
Not a fan of the white jacket but I LOVE the romper! I agree that rompers usually look a bit juvenile, but I really like the flowy sleeves and the dark colour on that particular one you chose – a mature twist!
oohhh I like the pink dress with white trench!
I love the romper!
Love to win for wife for valentines day
I’d love to wear a romper, I’m just unsure on how it would look on my body shape
It’s hot here in brazil!
I love the trenchcoat!
Not a big fan of rompers unless they are being worn by toddlers or the kids in the Sound of Music.
I love rompers! Although I haven’t found ones that look especially flattering on me…
i love that trench!
I love the name of the scattered wing romper! i feel like if you paired it with gold sandals, they’d look really nice.
I have a homemade lasagna in the oven, can’t wait to eat it!
I love that purple romper!
Hi there Karen, I love the blog! To answer your question, I always seem to buy nude lipsticks, but almost never wear them. I have the exact same skin color as you (NC42, MUFE 153), and I just think it looks weird when most nude lipsticks are paler/cooler/grey-er than my surrounding face! Any tips on your favorite nude lippies would be greatly appreciated! 🙂 Thanks!
I love tingly lip glosses such as the tarte ones or the Covergirl amazemint wetslicks ones- so minty and tingly. It’s the best feeling ever!
I love Rompers but I can never seem to pull off the style.
Ready for spring!
The only push-up I can do is a bra.
I’m always on the fence about the clarisonic and too scared to take the plunge.
Makeup…on the other hand….I have no problem dropping $100 for.
I don’t understand how my brain works.
I like rompers but I don’t think many people can pull them off. I know I can’t. Oh well. Those dresses look cute though!
I need new clothes for Spring!!!
Love to win – RIP WHitney
I own but never wear eyeliner. I just can’t get it to look right on me! Not black, not brown, not plum or olive or gold. It all just makes me eyes look small. Bummer!
Love Fergie’s look in Grammy’s!!!She looks sexy, yet polished:)
What’s one piece of makeup you own but never wear? …um, probably my Wonder Woman Pink Power MSF. I love it so much I don’t want to use it up! That is silly of me though because it is SO huge, lol. 😉
Thanks for the giveaway!
rompers scare me. no lie.
Love love love your blog! I always check your rating on makeup before i purchase any products im unsure about! 🙂
I have a weird stance on rompers. If it’s cut and designed well, then it looks great and practical, but if it’s slightly off then it can be awfully unflattering!
I can’t do a romper… I don’t think they’re all that flattering unless you able to accessorize it quite well.
I’m excited that tendertones are back!
I love glosses that tingle, especially Buxom Lip Polishes. They’re my favorite!
i think there are rompers suitable for every age…i have a hot pink lip color from NARS that i have only worn around the house for fun…i love kitties!
Bronzers, bronzers, bronzers. I buy them but almost never wear them, probably because they’re all waay too glittery for me! I want something to slightly contour and cover up my terrible tan lines and that’s all.
I like the Kimono and the Print Dresses.
melodyj(at)gmail(dot)com
Twinkies.
the romper is really gorgeous! i think there are no age limit for wearing rompers as long as the design suits your age ^^ and the silk kimono sleeve faux wrap dress is awesome sauce! u should buy it! i personally think it will look good on you! 🙂
i love rompers! so comfy and easy!
i love to buy cream blushes but i never use them! i feel like powders are so much easier
Personally, I don’t like the look of rompers. Then again, I only wear jeans and t-shirts.
personally i don’ get rompers. its like a one piece bathing suit, who wants to take it all off to use the restroom?!?
i need a kimono dress in my life
Bath and Body works ‘Peanut Butter & Jelly’ flavored lipgloss is DELICIOUS!!
I freakin’ LOVE rompers. I wore them all the time growing up. I just hate that you have to get down to your bra to pee. : /
If I won I’m going to get lorac unzipped palette and the smashbox lipstain in guava that I had my eyes on for a long time.
Not particularly keen on rompers… They look okay on some people. I wouldn’t get one for myself, though.
