life lately...

finally summer break is here!! well...kind of. i'm taking summer classes so that i will be done with school earlier than expected, but it's only six weeks and they're night classes, so i still have all day to be lazy and summery! i can't believe that after this summer, i'll be in my last semester of university!! time gone by all too quickly but i can't wait for what the future holds..anyway. i figured i'd do a little "random things i'm loving type thing" they seem to be the easiest thing to do when pressed for ideas.

1. i'm absolutely LOVING chanel's vitalumiere aqua foundation! the coverage and the finish that it leaves on the skin is just gorgeous. i used to use nars sheer glow, but this is definitely my new love. it's pricey at around $45, but the quality is just incomparable. i also love the makeup on the promotional image...it's everything i love about summer makeup - simple but so pretty!



2. gaga is back! well, she's never really gone anywhere, but her new album came out today and i've been listening to it all day...i know she may not be everyone's cup of tea, and for a long time she wasn't mine either, but now i'm obsessed! definitely my guilty please...i've been singing edge of glory non-stop...at first i was thinking "this is too normal to be gaga"...and then the 80's-tastic saxophone solo hits you....so random!

3. i'm currently lusting over jeffrey campbell lita's...now this is noteworthy for me because i used to really not like them...but i saw a girl wearing them a few days ago irl and all of a sudden i just had to have them. i also saw this post by gabriella at not so basic and they looked so awesome on her that it just made me want to get them even more...the only question now is, which color???

4. i've been loving piling on the bracelets and these from h&m are my current faves...the colors are so gorgeous and i cannot believe they only cost $3.95!! i would honestly have paid 5x that amount for them!!


5. and lastly, i am SO excited to be seeing adele at the greek theatre on june 6!!! she is just so talented, it kills me. her voice...oh my god, it quite literally sends shivers down my spine and brings tears to my eyes. love her!

that's all for now..hope you have a lovely day

lipstick letters and souveniers

as we all know, bright lips were all over the spring/summer runways, so they're likely to be huge this season. the weather has been so warm and summery here, so i've been pulling out my favorite hot pinks, corals and reds, and the one that i have been exceptionally into has been the ysl rouge volupté in no 27. i got it a few months ago from a lovely blog sale, but only started really wearing it recently. it's such a gorgeous bright neon corally pink, but at the same time very wearable. i'd say it's close to impassioned by mac, but in much nicer packaging and of a more luxurious quality. i'm so impressed with this lipstick and i know it's going to be my color this summer! i'm also looking into getting an orange lipstick...i'm thinking chanel rogue allure in exotic? we shall see! for now i'll leave you with a dorky pic of me modeling the lippy...the picture doesn't do the color justice, it's really something you need to see in life to appreciate it's fierceness.



my favorite way to wear it has been like this, with no other makeup, at least during the day.

today was very vanilla scented and i loved it

do you ever question beauty? what constitutes it and why? well, i do and i'm beginning to realize just how beautiful life is. take the most ordinary, unassuming thing and i bet you can find something beautiful about it.
