Winter Mermaid...

Winter ocean
I found this Topshop sweater at Nordstrom a couple of months ago. It's super-duper soft. So soft in fact that, when I tried it on, Sprout wouldn't stop hanging all over me and proclaiming it the snuggliest sweater in all the land. That pretty much ended any waffling I'd been doing. Of course, once I finally decided I needed them, BlackMilk stopped making their original mermaid leggings, but I'm hopeful I can find similar ones out there. (That *aren't* cheapos from ebay! Been there, done that, have the ripped-after-two-wearings leggings to prove it.) These TooFast boots...le sigh! I ordered the wrong size and was told the smaller size I needed was OOS *after* I returned them. GREAT shoes, but I'm not really pleased with TooFast's communication so, while I'll keep looking at their shoes, I'll most likely order from a different shop.

This is most definitely an outfit I could rock while hiking or camping! I REALLY hope to try this fragrance one day if I can still find it.

 I have these Black Milk Aurora Skye leggings and can tell you they are absolutely worth the price. They have a heft to them that makes them such good quality. They don't fall off me bum either, and have a fantastic,( non-gathered!) waistband that stays nice and flat.

Etude House Like20...,like, love...

It's time to get real with my skin problems, people. As much as I long to use only the cutest products, now is the time to go for some serious efficacy whether or not the packaging is shaped like an adorable piece of produce or an animal.

Awhile back I discovered EH's Like20 line and it sounded AH-mazing- super-moisture for aging but geared for younger skin that shouldn't be smothered in heavy creams. With my horrible dryness+aging (lines and roughness)+insane blackheads it sounded perfect. Turns out? It is. First I'm going to do a quickie review of each item and then more detailed posts later as I purchase full sizes of some.

I didn't have a ton of moolah for trying out new, full-sized products so I went for this trial kit:

Pic from love-youl on ebay- I ordered it from them and would definitely order from them again!

A little primer review...

I've tried a bunch of new (to me) products in the last months. I decided to lump these two primers into one post since they're quite similar in form and function. (Though not in result for me as you'll see.)

Finally Instagramming...

After years of just not getting the appeal, I suddenly had an urge to try Instagram and LOVE IT. So please check it out to see lots of pics that won't be on the blog!

Happy pants...

FINALLY got Blogger to cooperate for creating and publishing this post. I think the awesomeness caused an error or something. So please disregard the time/place description.

I'm suffering through family movie night at Sprout's school surrounded by chattering (occasionally shrieking children) watching...something...known as The Nut Job. Well, Sprout is watching. I'm escaping to the blogosphere. (Though I'll admit it- I laughed when an animated squirrel farted. Je regret rien.)
Anyway, since this movie epitomizes all that is Not My Thing I'm sharing about my super-happy paaaaaants!

An actual dress...

I have a wedding to go to in a few weeks and actually need to dress up. I never dress up. I own, like, two non-knit tops. The only skirts I currently wear are knit maxis (you know the ones- available everywhere, really cheap), and denim minis. In fact, my mom was so excited to hear that I NEEDED A DRESS that she bought me the dress AND shoes as a Mother's Day gift! So sweet!! (I haven't bought or made anything for her yet, but I usually give her Mother's Day gift to her when I visit in summer so I have time.)
