Coldwater Creek is closing!

noreply@blogger.com (Bianca C) — Sat, 12 Apr 2014 01:40:00 +0000

Oh wow! Looks like Coldwater Creek is finished soon. I remember seeing these catalogs come for my mom over the years. I always think of them as the catalog with no people! They just displayed the clothes by themselves. Later in life, I would hit up the clearance center for cruise wear :) Looks like the site is 40% off, but excludes the Online Outlet. Some FAQs here.

Best wishes to all the people employed by them.

Pearls and Lace OOTD

noreply@blogger.com (Bianca C) — Tue, 25 Mar 2014 01:16:00 +0000

Today I wore some fun stuff. Pearls and lace and rhinestones. Hard to see, but the skirt is a burgundy lace overlay on a black bottom layer.

Also, this top is from Ann Taylor, its a business in the front, party in the back mullet tee. That is, the front looks like a blouse, and the back and sleeves are t-shirt material. makes it very comfortable and forgiving. I picked it up for about $9 during one of their 70% off clearance sales.

Lattice Medallion Top and Pencil Skirt

noreply@blogger.com (Bianca C) — Sun, 23 Mar 2014 00:45:00 +0000

When I first saw the lattice medallion print, I loved it from the start. Guess they figured everyone would - they used it in many pieces this spring. I thought I would get the skirt, but I didn't love the fabrication in person, so I passed. When the popover went on sale I grabbed it though, and its a winner! :) Its light and breezy and soft.

If you are a curvy girl, the Sloan skirt at Banana Republic is a great fit! I do not recommend the Sloan pants however.

The pink in it was kind of bluish, so I wore it with a lavender cardigan from the Loft.

Springtime for Leopards

With spring in the air, I was really in the mood to wear some cute pumps, so I pulled out my trusty Talbots's calf hair leopard pumps from a couple years ago.

So, blouse, sweater and necklace from Loft, Skirt from J. Crew

Here is the close up of the fabric on the JCrew skirt.

St.Patricks Day Outfit

noreply@blogger.com (Bianca C) — Wed, 19 Mar 2014 00:12:00 +0000

Hello! Here is what I wore on St. Patrick's Day.

So I have pretty much fallen in love with the No. 2 Pencil Skirt from J Crew. I am surprised, because their stuff hasn't always fit me. At all.

But I bought one of these when they were on sale + extra clearance, got it home and added two more almost immediately - they are some of the nicest skirts I have owned. They sit slightly lower on my waist, but since I am very short waisted, that works for me. No skirt riding up to my bustline today!

Right now there is limited stock / qty, but they are on sale for $50 after the coupon code EXTRA40.

So, skirt is No 2 Pencil Skirt from JCrew, Heather Graphite - I am wearing a size 16 in misses. I could definitely do a 14, but I like how the 16 sat a little better. The blouse and hunter green cardi are both from the Loft, size Medium. Belt is from the Limited. Boots are Franco Sarto Wide Calf from Amazon.

So how are you guys doing? ^__^

Pizza for Days!

noreply@blogger.com (Bianca C) — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 05:28:00 +0000

So hubby wanted to order pizza for the three of us, and while on the phone, he says "Large is big enough right?" And I was like "Of course not, we need the extra large for the three of us." O_O Uhhhhh.....

The moral of the story is, don't leave me in charge of portion ordering.

Even my Harry Potter shirt couldn't get me out of this one LOL.

Random - Foundation Swatches

noreply@blogger.com (Bianca C) — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 05:35:00 +0000

I had a friend of the blog asked me about some makeup I mentioned earlier this year, and so I swatched them for her, then I figured someone else might looking for the same info, so here they are.

Swatch of Makeup Forever (MUFE) HD Foundation in #153

Swatch of Revlon ColorStay Oil Free Foundation in 350, Deep Tan

Swatch of Korres Wild Rose Foundation in WR3

Swatch of Korres Wild Rose Foundation in WR4

Swatch of Korres Wild Rose Foundation in WR5

In MAC Studio Fix Powder I am C4, but I have never found one of their foundations that matched me, all of their liquids oxidize on my skin and turn peachy.

With Winter Skin -__- Korres WR3 and Revlon ColorStay Oil free are the best matches on my face, spring moves me into Korres WR4 but once summer moves in, MUFE 153 and Korres WR5 come out to play :) Yes, they joy of tanning easily is also the joy of owning at least 5 foundations in the course of a year.
