Talbot's May Faves

These are my favorite items from the Talbot's May 2012 Catalog
Love, love love!

Look at the sleeve length on here! Yay! I am so glad to see a sheath. With a sleeve!

So hubby wanted to order pizza for the three of us, and while on the phone, he says "Large is big enough right?" And I was like "Of course not, we need the extra large for the three of us." O_O Uhhhhh.....

The moral of the story is, don't leave me in charge of portion ordering.

Even my Harry Potter shirt couldn't get me out of this one LOL.

I had a friend of the blog asked me about some makeup I mentioned earlier this year, and so I swatched them for her, then I figured someone else might looking for the same info, so here they are.

Swatch of Makeup Forever (MUFE) HD Foundation in #153

Swatch of Revlon ColorStay Oil Free Foundation in 350, Deep Tan

Swatch of Korres Wild Rose Foundation in WR3

Swatch of Korres Wild Rose Foundation in WR4

Swatch of Korres Wild Rose Foundation in WR5

In MAC Studio Fix Powder I am C4, but I have never found one of their foundations that matched me, all of their liquids oxidize on my skin and turn peachy.

With Winter Skin -__- Korres WR3 and Revlon ColorStay Oil free are the best matches on my face, spring moves me into Korres WR4 but once summer moves in, MUFE 153 and Korres WR5 come out to play :) Yes, they joy of tanning easily is also the joy of owning at least 5 foundations in the course of a year.

I wore this to dinner with hubby. I have a ton of stuff from the Loft I haven't even worn yet. I need to wear everything before buying anything else..... I love the leggings I bought from the Loft. I keep trying to find a back up pair, but they are always out of my size..

Black Blazer

This is the black blazer I got from Dillards recently. I really like it, and was looking for one I could toss on for a myriad of outfits. It set me back a cool $45 (clearance) and is also a 8P. I passed on the 16P pants for this one LOL!

I always have a hard time finding jackets that fit my (narrowish) shoulders, but I think this one worked out pretty well.

Tales from Shopping

07:48 Unknown 0 Comments

Kind of a funny story. Well, an interesting story. I went shopping recently for some new things and Dillard's was having a major clearance sale. I picked up these pants. They are a size 16P. I bought the matching jacket. It is a size 8P and fits like a glove. It is really hard to shop sometimes. LOL - I much prefer skirts. In which I usually wear a 12/14. Anyway, the pants need a few alterations, but they were only $30, so I will live.

Cardigan - J Crew
Tank - Target
Pants -Dillards
Bag - Talbots
Socks - Target? (teehee)

While I was out, I popped into JCrew to try on this skirt, which (the pattern) is stunning in person. It is called a "long" pencil skirt, but I had no idea what "long" meant to JCrew. I kid you not, the misses skirt went down to my lower-calf...it was HILARIOUS. I checked the inseam online, and its 25 in misses and 23 in petites. I like my pants to be at about 28.5 (ha!). Also, I tried on the 12, and it was super snug on the backside, but droopy and loose around my tummy and waist. How they managed that, I have NO idea.
-___- Not the look I am going for. Maybe I should have turned it around (ha!) They didn't have it in petite in the store I went in, but I doubt it would have fit anyway. Anyone else try this one?

(Here are the pants and jacket together)

Winter is Coming

15:26 Unknown 0 Comments

Hi everyone, hope you are doing well.

I may have mentioned I own a bunch of graphic tees - this particular one is from Game of Thrones, has the Stark family crest and states "Winter is Coming" (the Stark motto). For the record, I have never seen the series, just read the books. I actually like the motto better than I like the books, I feel like, the proverbial ant, its good to remember Winter is always on the way and be prepared. :) Its a good reminder.

Anyway, this is one of my fave ways to wear my geek tees - with a skirt and cardigan - just something different.

Cardigan is from Talbots
Tee is from Teefury.com
Skirt is from Target

Leggings from the Loft
Boots by Sam and Libby

I have been watching Jason Wu for a little while, mostly around his work for the first lady, but I have really been looking forward to seeing what he was doing for Fall/Winter 2012 - I am not disappointed. I feel like I would actually wear some of these items as is. They are LOVELY!

I want to wear these right now :D
