so chaud.

blazer: vintage, dress: banana republic, shoes: lucky, sunglasses: a.j. morgan, watch: michael kors, ring: f21

i snatched this striped dress when i went outlet shopping with my mom the other day - we wanted to spend the day relaxing but there was a torrential down pour, so it was more like a day of sprinting from store to store! we still had a good time though and i bought some fun items :)

on another note, i've been into experimenting with lip colors recently and the one i'm wearing above is "so chaud" by mac. do you have any recommendations for fun spring/summer lip colors?

stayfabulous,

zarna

I JUST started experimenting with lip color ( I have literally worn nude from mac or clear lipslicks from revlon for over 10 years OMG) so I don't have tons of recommendations...this color is beautiful on you..sort of a soft red, no?
Have a great week girlie!

I don't feel so alone in the world because I'm always looking like I walked out of a bag of skittles. My eyes went directly to the ring. I'm buying less clothes and more accessories. The Lillie is nice. I just picked up Ruby Woo but I'm a fan of the new Covergirl lip perfection colors. Divine is a bright pink. Hope you try it.; April 21, 2011 at 3:36 PM
