Happy Friday!

From my sweet husband for Valentine's Day! Vintage copper recipe box and chocolate. :-)

Now I need to find some cute recipe cards to go with.

Last week I went for a long overdue haircut - I had 7 inches taken off! It's still long, so I think I want to go back and have another 2-3 inches cut. I'm loving my shorter hair. I can't believe how long it was and I wish I had taken a before/after picture!

Happy weekend!

Happy Friday!

Here are a few things that have made my week a little brighter:

I bought this yesterday actually, and it has become an instant favorite.
It is pure HEAVEN.

 Finally bought the blu ray version of the most magnificent movie ever made,
 in my humble opinion. I could watch it everyday! :-)

Current make up wish list. I definitely have a problem. Yikes.

Child of mine takes everything I own and makes it his.
Including my lap top case. Silly boy.

Instagram lately

Rosebuds and vanilla bean make the apartment smell yummy on rainy days.

Smoothie prep! 

The finished product. So good!

I have been lusting after these Charlotte Olympia shoes for months it seems,
and now they are finally in my possession! Very excited to wear these!

I do not own any Dior nail polish, so I wanted to try a few.
  I came home with riviera and gris trianon. The brow kit was FREE! 

I had been eyeing this iPhone case since summer.
And I found it on ebay last week. So pretty and girly.

Zoya Electra

Everyday I fall more in love with Zoya! This might be my new favorite brand of nail polish.

I got Electra in my December Glossybox. It's not something I would have picked out for myself,

 but I really like it. I used 3 coats and it almost has a foil finish. 

Super pretty and cheerful for these drab winter days.

Chanel spring 2013 collection

How gorgeous is this illuminating powder?!

Can't wait to get my hands on it!

I am dying over this collection as a whole. Everything is just gorgeous and they are colors I normally like - soft, pretty and pink. Though typical for spring I guess. A couple of things that I have my eye on are the les 4 ombres quadra eyeshadow in refinement, le vernis nail color in emprise {on model above}, and the rouge allure velvet matte lip color in l'eclatante {also on model above, I believe}.

Tom ford smoke red nail polish

This was one of my favorite Christmas gifts! And it was a complete surprise 

from my Brother. I have never tried anything from the Tom Ford nail polish line, and 

this is everything I had hoped for, considering the price point. So far, I am on day 5 

and still no chips! If this was an Opi polish, my nails would be a wreck by now. The 

formula was so easy to work with, too. I used this on my toes about a week and a 

half ago, and it still looks like I had a fresh pedicure. Love it!!

Cole Haan oxford wingtips

Maybe I am not a normal female, but I don't normally get this excited about a pair of shoes {Except for maybe my black patent Louboutin's. Which I am still afraid to wear!}.
 I am in love with my new purchase!

While out shopping with my husband and mother in law after Christmas, we wandered over to the shoe area in Nordstrom. My husband pointed these out and I was intrigued by how different they were. I would have never picked out a blue pair of shoes for myself. Let alone oxford wingtips. But I knew they had to come home with me. I was a little worried as to what I would wear with them, and so far I am surprised at how versatile they are. 

So, needless to say, my husband will be picking out my shoes from now on {Haha, maybe}. 

He has far better taste than I do when it comes to footwear. :-)

Admiring my new shoes at Best Buy, haha. L-O-V-E.

Horrible quality iPhone pic! But it's all I had.
I desperately need a full length mirror, too..

I am wearing a gray wool cowl neck sweater from Loft, Joe's jeans,
Zara coat, and my new oxfords!  {On sale here!}
