Holy Grail 2014 and Style I am loving

ENTERTAINMENT

The Walking Dead

I am totally obsessed with this show. I have watched it from the very beginning and have watched every single episode more than once :)

So of course I had to grab myself an iPhone case to represent this. I so have this image in a rubber case.



AMERICAN HORROR STORY



So far my favorite has been the first one with the haunted house. However I also really liked the coven one. I had mixed feelings about the asylum and the current show but I still feel the need to watch them all. I kind of like the idea of the different characters and different story lines for each season.

THE HUNGER GAMES CATCHING FIRE

So I liked the first Hunger Games but I wasn't obsessed with it. Now I must watch them all. This is one of those movies that I want to own. 

LIFE AND STYLE

MY PLANNER

Pippenwyks planner. The outside leather is super soft. I love my little monster. He has totally helped me keep my life organized as of late. 

IPHONE 5S

Yes I have been loving my iPhone. I don't use it the way it should be used. But I love that I can watch you tube videos and Netflix on my phone. Plus I love the picture taking capabilities.
note: I still love the blackberry phones.
HAIRCLIP

ElizabellaDesign

I love these hair stick type things. I tried giving them to my sisters but I think they must be more me. These hold my hair really well and I just love the look.

Below are items that I don't necessarily own but this is mainly my style. Sadly I don't get to wear the look all the time because of my job, but during down time I would totally sport this look.
the first three items are all from sheinside.

GRAPHIC TEES

I love this top. The person reminds me of my sisters a little bit. Maybe not the hoops but definitely the hair and face.

CARDIGANS



I totally wear cardigans like this all the time.

EMBELLISHED SHORTS

 HRH collection

I love the slightly embellished shorts or velvet shorts. (black ones)

BOOTS
Chelsea style boots

or lace up

or buckled

Ankle booties   (see more cut out boots)

I would totally layer the look with jewelry that can be layered.
LAYERED JEWELRY

pyrrha talisman

I totally love this talisman. There are tons of different designs but I love the look. It looks so effortless and totally me. I would layer this with other pendants like my star of David and my cat's paw print. Love the idea of putting this with longer chains like the image below. 

Tsojewelry

I love this etsy jeweler. I purchased a bangle from them a while ago and the bangle really feels like quality. Plus I can be subtle about my obsession with my TV shows. I am wearing the bangle below. 

 

 Layering my rings too.
AWESOME BAG

 JUNGLETRIBE BAG


BEAUTY

I have been keeping it super low key lately. Love to wing just the outer edge of my eye. Pardon my eyebrows. I have ignored them.

 Bite beauty matte lip crayon in Cognac. I don't color in my whole lips with the color but I like to just line the bottom of my lip and then use Dior's balm to layer over it. Yes I am a sucker for packaging.

Stila convertible lip color in poppy

I am still loving this. I use it on my lips and cheeks. Definitely a holy grail beauty item.


So that is it for now. At work I tend to do the same makeup look but paired with a dress worn with a cardigan and flats. I am way girly at the office.

Since I mentioned it, below is my style at the office. (I am like two different people!)

http://www.eshakti.com/

I tend to wear dresses like this one from eshakti. I wear it with flats like the ones below and a cardigan.

These office flats are a little bit. I have to stuff them but they are really comfy and cute. 

love ring worn with a mix of bracelets. I also like to wear the ring with a bangle my mom gave me. I don't have a photo of it because I don't feel like lugging out my jewelry box at the moment. But it is gorgeous and sparkles. I am like a raccoon and love sparkly things.

If I managed to be out during the day I have been loving my pink shades. They stay on my face and I feel super fancy when I wear them.

So long for now!:)

May Favorites

Hello Everyone (Kathryn)

So I felt like doing a monthly favorite of items I have been loving for beauty, fashion and jewelry.
Some of the items here I do not actually own but just happen to think are awesome.

ENTERTAINMENT

Yeah I have become a little bit obsessed. Here are a couple of channels that I have simply been obsessing over lately.

Latest obsession has to be with Creepy pastas. Ugh!!! I have started listening to these before bed at night. Probably not the best idea. I should listen in the morning instead. Also I am using the Ninja study guide by Jeff Elliott for my CPA review and I am really liking it. Most of my fav subscriptions are to beauty and fashion channels. Above are just some of my favorites. They are not in any real order though. I was just copying and pasting.

BEAUTY

Love the Chanel Illusion Dombre in New Moon. I believe this is the second shade above. I find that while it is an awesome color for parties I can actually pull it off at work if I put a very small amount on and almost wear it as a liner instead. I do not line the entire eye, just the outer corner. I wear it with no other eye makeup or just mascara and it definitely packs a punch.

My second fav is Chanel Allure Lipstick in Farouche. (Hope I am spelling this correctly) I got this because of Mallory (above). I love her style, makeup picks and her personality is super awesome. This particular lipstick is definitely high end but I wear it to work often. The color just makes me look pulled together, even if I wear no other makeup.

FASHION

Top: Miu Miu, Kate wallet, Love ring, Double finger ring

Ok so I have had a couple of these items forever but just pulled them out. I never could match the gorgeous bracelet with anything until I pulled out my double finger gold ring. It looks super awesome together and I found it looks awesome with my plain wedding band. Instantly gives my outfit some girly edge.

I do have a love and hate feeling about this kate spade wallet. See I own a kate spade bag which is perfect but this wallet is a mix. I love all the sparkle and the look however functionality is not so great. I have a hard time pulling any of my cards out because it is so tightly sewn in. This is in a way a good thing because 1. I can't take my credit cards out so I cant buy anything, 2. it keeps all my money and cards securely in the wallet so it doesnt fall out. I had a really nice Vera Bradley wallet before but it started tearing apart and everything would fall out into my bag. I almost feel like maybe I just need a zip around wallet.

My love ring I recently got in Monterrey with Kathryn. All three of us sisters have this ring. I love how simple it is and it is really comfortable to wear. I almost wish I had it in silver too.

Below are some fashion items that I am liking but do now actually own.

I keep seeing these Fendi shades in magazines. I absolutely love them. Wish they didn't cost of fortune but I figure if I put them on here it will feel like I own them. I actually have been wearing a nice pair of Kaos by Kardashian shades. They aren't as glamorous but they look great and are comfy to wear. I put them into real use after having Lasik eye surgery,

HAIR

I love this Henri Bendel cherry ball hair tie. I own a gold one that looks similar but not nearly as pretty and sparkly, Actually mine does not sparkle at all but it has the same pull style.

 Broadway Bow Claw. I adore this completely. It looks like it would hold my hair up completely. It also reminds me of this gorgeous clip I used to own but then it broke. It did last me for many years though. I still didn't throw it away though because it is so beautiful.

CLOTHING

Urban Outfitters lace shorts. I am actually liking lace shorts in general. Not all lace shorts though I tend to like the ones with more of a trim of lace. I feel like they are taking casual and making it a little bit girly and dressy. I think it would look great with just a simple T shirt.



HOME

This last item is something I have been sleeping with since I have been sleeping away from my husband. After listening to the creepy pastas makes him a necessity.

It's Rick Grimes!!! Yeah for some reason I find him comforting to sleep with. He also works great as a pillow. :) 

Now I am making myself a little sleepy. Think I'll take a cat nap.
