As I mentioned in my previous video about my favorite things, I just had to share with you this ingenious little tool. Without further ado, please check out my video (and give it a thumbs up on the YouTube page if you don’t mind!)
Check out the beautyblender. Sephora also sells them online, as does Amazon!
Please excuse my ridiculous hair.

Hey friends, new and old! You may recognize this from my guest post on Jessica’s blog–I’ve posted it here today so those of you who live under a rock haven’t seen it can! It’s been so nice getting to know you newcomers–I’ve been checking out the blogs of everyone who’s commented–your talent and beauty is overwhelming!
I’ve gotten so many requests for more professional-themed outfit posts lately, that I just couldn’t say no! And you know I love a challenge. While you may not opt to wear a crystal-studded bib necklace to the office at 8am, I wouldn’t be Pretty Shiny Sparkly without some dazzle–right?!
For even more work-friendliness (like if it’s not casual Friday), switch the pumps to cute ballet flats with bows on them, switch out the jeans for slacks (if your office is more formal), and you’ve got yourself a comfy, stylish work look.
It’s crazy how being ash blonde can mean drastically different hair color on camera depending on the light’s angle. Above, it looks like I’m totally blonde again! I will say that the haircolor has faded quite a bit. It’s like my hair just rejects color, I swear I don’t know what to do with it.
Oh, hair.

I love the big cat trend that’s been prowling around the fashion scene in recent months. These shoes are a perfect interpretation of the trend – platform with studs and rhinestones, with cheetah printed on calf hair–gorgeous!! Animal prints (faux of course) are so fun, and should not be restricted to Lisa Frank stickers or the 1980′s! I’m so glad it’s back. Fashion trends have been more and more conservative (I think of it like a pendulum swinging) so it’s nice to see that amongst all the muted tones, camel coats, relaxed slacks, and crisp tailoring, there is a little splash of leopard here and there to perk up an outfit!
My beloved (that’s HB, which does not stand for husband by the way!) flew back from Ft. Worth this past weekend to celebrate our 2 year anniversary (dating, not married…yet lol!). I missed him so much, and we had a great time making the most of the 36-or-so hours we had in each others’ company. He’s now in Los Angeles for his second away-rotation, at USC, and in three short weeks I will be on a plane to spend my week’s vacation with him in sunny L.A.!
Thought I would share with you my latest wishlist (since that’s what this blog initially started as, an outlet for my impulsive consumerism!)….
Oh, and I’ve heard you loud and clear – will definitely be doing a video review of the beauty blender soon! Thanks loves!

I’ve already expressed my love for fall. This outfit is 100% me during the fall season! Since I now work in the hospital as part of my 3rd year rotations in medical school, my days alternate between super structured professional attire (NOT comfy) and on-call days wearing scrubs (OVERLY comfy). It’s really nice on an off day to just pull on some cozy fabrics like buttery soft boots, a lightweight sweater, and some skinnies.
Have you subscribed using BlogLovin’ yet? It’s the best (in my opinion)!
