I hope everyone had a great weekend! I had a terrific time having my first little getaway with Jared sans baby for my good friend’s engagement party in Tampa. It was so amazing to see some of my closest friends from college, as well as have some time for ourselves. And I wasn’t even a nervous wreck! Parent point for me!
So I know I usually blog earlier in the day, but let’s just say I’m back to reality. Poor Samuel spent most of his day crying and whining (definitely not napping) due to his teething, which led to poor Leah. I’m exhausted and drained, and if you follow me on Instagram (which you should, duh) you saw that after the day I had my evening is being spent eating Velveeta mac and cheese, drinking red wine (if you like Pinot Noir, pick up a bottle of Mark West…great and cheap as hell!), reading my People Style Watch, and watching Bachelor in Paradise. Btw for those of you who watch, did you see the previews for next week’s two night event?? YOPO!
Days that I feel this spent, I’m so tempted to just treat myself to some e-retail therapy. Don’t worry Jar, I won’t, but if I were to here are some items I’m “Windows” shopping for…
Christian Louboutin finally ventures into the beauty world with Rouge Louboutin, a timeless red nail polish that’s suited for any skin tone and echoes the iconic red soles. The bottle is modeled after the heel of the Ballerina Ultima, the tallest heel Louboutin ever created.
“The red sole was born from red nail polish. I am giving back to beauty what the shoes took from the nails many years ago.” – Christian Louboutin
I’m a huge fan of Givenchy makeup, especially their mascara, so I’m of course dying to try the new Noir Couture Volume Mascara, a volumizing and defining mascara. The brush has two kinds of bristles, one to plump and one to separate, to create a lush look. And did you see the bottle? So chic!
I’ve definitely been itching to try the new Dior Addict Fluid Stick, the brand’s new gloss-meets-lipstick formula. It’s supposed to be incredibly long wearing, but I’ve heard you may want to pair it with a lip liner for easier application as it can be a little tricky in the beginning. Only problem for me is choosing a color out of the 14 shades they offer. I’m loving 269 – Tiny Pink (shown above) as well as 575 – Wonderland, and 689 – Vertigo.
Cheers to a great week!
Xo,
Leah
