The Ballad of the Blonde

My favorite part with birthdays as an adult, that is, if you're like me at all, which I get a feeling you are, it translates to new clothes. ;) I think I really like this picture because it looks like I caught on fire. :P tried a new hair-do today. Inspired by a picture I saw of Zooey Deschanel. Necklace: Icing, $15. Cardigan: H&M, $10. Blouse: Anthropologie, $10. Skirt: Buffalo Exchange, $8. Shoes: Last Chance, $20. Bag: Gifted, from Israel. Belt: NY&C, $8.

I had an interview a few days ago, a second interview. It went really well, I got hired! I am really grateful for my business writing class I took this last semester, it has taught me how to rock the job hunting process, but when it comes to fashion, I have to thank my sister I Get Dressed for some advice, or an article she wrote once. Being the interview-champ that she is, she always asks me what I'm wearing before an interview, except for this one, I hope it gets her approval! Looking at this picture, I'm thinking these pants look really big on me... Pants: The Limited? Shoes: Target. Blouse: Anthropologie. Cardigan: ...gifted. Cast: My mother's closet :S.

Well, learning from the many fashion magazines I've read, and all the advice from makeup artists like Carmindy, they suggest to clean out and clean up your makeup bag frequently because a lot of products and dirty brushes cause breakouts. So I took one look at my bag, which looked like something like this: (not everything could fit in it!!!) And I Lysol wiped every brush and every little thing I had in there, not to mention I threw out some really old and empty containers. This was covered in eye shadow and blush powder so I am very happy with the results. Here is the after, enjoy: And here is what remains in the makeover process: The Blog, Overtures and Organza My fashion "resolutions", goals My wishlist

Glad to be home where there's great places to shop again and access to them! :) Shirt: Buffalo Exchange, ensued New York & Company. Skirt: Buffalo Exchange, ensued American Apparel. Shoes: Target. Necklace: Icing. Cast: mother's closet :S. Belt: New York & Company
