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.

CreepsMcPasta


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.
