OOTD: Springtime in Paris

It’s been a while since I’ve posted outfit photo’s, the weather hasn’t really allowed for it, and I really didn’t want to take them indoors like I had done most of winter. We grabbed these photos the other day before we went out to eat. Clearly I’m out of practice for posing.

Tank:Limited, Shirt: H&M, Pants: H&M, Shoes: H&M

I bought this sweater from H&M back in February, but I absolutely adore it and can definitely see it becoming a staple in my wardrobe this summer. It’s very lightweight and soft. And I love the Paris Darling and Eiffel Tower on the front.

Bracelet: Alex and Ani

On My Face: Sonia Kashuk Tinted Moisturizer, Sonia Kashuk Concealer, The Balm Frat Boy, The Balm Mary Lou Manizer, NYX Turquoise liner, NYX Liquid Liner, Nars Eyelier, Makeup Forever Mascara, NYX Shocking Pink Lipstick.

Hair: Color Ion Skye Blue

I absolutely adore these Floral Hi Tops from H&M. They’re so comfortable and I love the rose print on the black background.

Now that we’ve had my awkward return post I plan to be back Sunday with a normal (and less awkward) post.

Indie Flick, OOTD

I’ve been outrageously impatient for spring weather, there’s been more snow at the end of this winter than there has been the rest of winter, but thankfully it’s recently been warmer.

Top: H&M, Skirt: H&M, Jacket: H&M Shoes: Toms

I love this skirt, my cousin bought it for me from H&M the last time we went shopping together. It’s a high waisted jersey midi skirt and it’s really comfortable to wear.

Necklace: H&M

Earrings: baublebar

On My Face: Foundation- Sonja Kashuk, Blush- Frat Boy The Balm, Eyeshadow- The Lolita Palette Marc Jacobs, Eyeliner- Skinny Liquid Liner Nyx, Mascara- Makeup Forever Smokey Extravagant, Eyebrows- Turquoise Nyx Eyeliner, Highlighter- Mary Lou Manizer The Balm, Lipstick Indie Flick Nyx

I adore this lipstick, it’s definitely going to be my go too color for spring. It’s a lovely color and it’s long lasting without being outrageously drying.

Little Red Riding Hood

So I took an accidental hiatus. I just needed to reset myself, and get to where I was feeling good enough to get in front of the camera again. But then I found these photos from before all the snow, and decided that they needed to be posted.

I’m a huge fan of fairy tales, and found this coat in the back of my closet when getting dressed and immediately thought of little red riding hood. I’m actually pretty sure I was heading off to my parents house, so that’s even better. I can’t for the life of me remember why I stopped wearing it because it’s about 7 years old and I haven’t worn it in about 4 years.

Coat: Wet Seal, Tee: Soffee, Jeans: Gap Boots: H&M

Necklace: Jewelmint Hair: Color Ion Skye Blue Nails: Nails Inc Baker Street

On My Face: Sonja Kashuk Foundation, The Balm Frat Boy Blush, The Balm Mary Lou Manizer, Makeup Forever Mascara, Marc Jacobs The Lolita Palette, Nars Eyeliner, Nars Dragon Girl

I absolutely adore these photos. It’s one of the perks of being married to a guy who knows his way around a camera.

Also I kinda really miss the days when it was warm enough to be outside, let alone take photos like this.

Stylish Sunday’s: Basically

I never really get a great start off to the year, because I’m always really sick until midspring when it starts to warm up. So for a little while longer it’s going to be just stylish sunday’s posts until flu season is over.

I think I took these last wednesday, I wasn’t to sick, but I was still feeling really lazy.

Outfit : V.S. Most Loved Leggings, Sweater: Maurices, Glasses: Kate Spade, Necklace: Jewelmint, Mug: Target last year.

Even Howl was feeling the laziness of the day:

He is a floof and he needs to be groomed, which we will be getting done next week.

On my face: Rimmel Match Perfection foundation, Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush, Maybelline The Nudes Eyeshadows, The Balm Mary Lou Manizer Highlighter, Makeup Forever Smokey Extravagant, Rimmel Eyeliner, NYX Eden lipstick

Since I was feeling really sick I just tossed my hair up into a bun, but I wanted to feel cute so I added a frenchbraid in the back:

Stylishly Late: Unseasonable

This post is late because I’ve been sick. But the weather here has kinda been unseasonably warm lately. So I decided that if it was warm enough for skirts and tights, that meant there was no reason for my favorite skirt to be hanging out in my closet.

Trench: Express, Top: H&M, Skirt: The Limited, Tights: HUE, Shoes: Old Navy

I love love love this skirt, it’s navy with little red polka dots and you can’t see it that well here, because it was dark outside by the time I was able to get my photos taken.

On My Face: Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation in light ivory, Nars Deep Throat Blush, Marc Jacobs The Lolita Palette, The Balm Mary Lou Manizer, Makeup Forever Smokey Extravagant Mascara, Rimmel Scandaleyes eyeliner, NYX Matte Lip Cream in Amsterdam, Victoria’s Secret Lip Balm in Cherry Balm

Please excuse the doe in the headlights look, sometimes I really have trouble posing for photos. So you get wide eyed and frozen.

I have worn these boots to death this year and they’re absolutely scuffed, and definitely showing their wear, but I still can’t stop wearing them and I really hope that I can find a pretty similar pair in black, grey or brown very soon because these have been my absolute favorite shoes.

What has the weather been like where you are lately?
