I really like this one... I have been on a little search to find a sort of "abstract art" dress. Something printed... to wear over tights that makes me look artsy and 20-something-cool. Because that's what I am, right?

Another Lovely and Affordable Dress

This Just In
There is, in my opinion, a serious shortage of green pumps. Are they un-chic or something? I'm just having a little obsession with them, for some reason. Ever since last year when I saw this picture in the October 2008 InStyle magazine.
I have found a pair of teal green pumps at Target's website and I am really trying to decide. Some would say that for the price, it's a no-brainer. However, it's not something I need. Also, they aren't quite the color that I had originally wanted. And would they really be versatile? I can't justify something that I will only wear with a few outfits. I'm also not sure how I feel about the t-strap (interrupting the line of the leg, ya know).
They are pretty, though.

Make up Overhaul
I really would like to have a simple make up routine and I am going through a process of refreshing and organizing my make up repetoire. I was using Laura Gellar's Tint Hint, which I liked. But as it got near the end, I thought I wanted to try something new. Can't put my finger on why exactly, but the desire for something else was there. I decided to be budget friendly and give a drugstore brand a try. Now, don't get me wrong - I use grocery/drug store products all the time, but I do not wish to go back to the land of powder blush and there just isn't much else at the grocery store.
Anyway, I gave Almay's Smart Shade Blush a whirl. When I first put it on, I laughed out loud with glee because I truly felt it was amazing! It blends easily and really does seem to sense your perfect shade. However - After a week or two my love began to wane. I am, as I have mentioned before, oh so very pale. It is not pigmented enough for me and I didn't find it very buildable either. My porcelain cheeks need more help.
I am dying to try Bobbi Brown's new cheek tint. I really want to get to my local Nordstrom so I can see them in person and perhaps try them on. I have actually never tried Bobbi Brown cosmetics because yes, I used to live under a rock, apparently. When I was growing up with my mom, anytime we needed make up it was either Merle Norman or Mary Kay. Or the grocery store. Bobbi Brown is much more.... I don't know.... "pink" than I imagined. The stuff I saw and heard about the line in the past made me think it was only for a granola, natural, earthy look. But there's actually a surprisingly wide range of colors and pinks! (Maybe kind of dying to try the creamy lip color too, but that's another post)

Oh my... I love this dress. It's gray. I am trying to get myself into more a-lines but this is really adorable. I do worry about the fit - Target is hit and miss for me.
