i had to take advantage of the sale selection while in SF

finally got to make my way over to sight glass.

accessory shot | finally took these valentino rockstud pumps out for a spin!

sadly a shoe i had to say bye bye to. 

i loved the shoe, but i only liked the side view. 

what do you do when you don't like the 360 view of a shoe? 

well...this is what i've been up to in a nutshell plus wedding planning.

now that i'm coming closer to the wedding day it's been getting a bit overwhelming.

if anyone has good tips...please do share!

happy monday!

Isabel Marant pour H&M

The Parisian designer Isabel Marant, who has captured the hearts of many woman for the wedge sneakers is collaborating with H&M! She will be designing clothing and accessories.
She will also be designing a men's collection for the first time, so you and your beau might want to mark your calendars for November 14, 2013!

there are no images as of yet, but this is her direct quote on the direction of her collection:
"I aim to create something real, that women want to wear in their everyday lives, with a certain carelessness, which I think is very Parisian: you dress up, but do not pay too much attention and still look sexy. The collection is infused with this kind of easiness and attitude. Everything can be mixed following one's own instincts: my take on fashion is all about personality." 

BEAUTY // basics

picked up some basics from sephora

korres // primer 

i feel that primer is one of those basics that people skip out on - i admit i was one of them! 

but, trust me it makes a world of a difference, at least with this one. 

what i love about this primer is #1 that it contains natural ingredients #2 that it's silicone free #3 it smells good - all pretty hard to find in a primer, if you ask me.

this one is super light, moisturizing and does wonders to make an even toned skin. 

there are 3 different types you can choose from depending on your skin type: regular primer, mattifying (perfect if you have oily skin), age reversing. 

definitely a must must must basic! 

bobbi brown // bb cream

 i find it hard to find a bb cream that matches my skin tone. 

but, the bobbi brown comes in 9 shades, so you're in good hands!! 

i love the texture of this bb cream. 

it's creamy, so it goes on smoothly and is lightweight, but totally buildable if you need the coverage. 

this bb cream does everything you need it to do!

it's magic in a bottle - it primes, moisturizes, protects you from the sun (spf 35), camouflages and hydrates. 

it's perfect for the summertime.

nars // pure radiant tinted moisturizer 

for the summertime this is a great substitute for foundation. 

it has a bit more coverage than your normal tinted moisturizer, but it feels light. 

so this is perfect for those who like more of a natural medium coverage. 

if you want more of a full coverage it's totally buildable.

i've only been using this for a couple weeks, but still have yet to see improvement (only been using it for a week now), but by week 4 you're supposed to see overall improvement in your skin.  

another bonus is the spf 30 which is really important for summer.  

not too shabby for a tinted moisturizer, right?!

urban decay // naked basics

the name of this shadow palette pretty much says it all. 

this palette has the basic ivories, taupes, browns and black. 

the shadows are pretty flat in color which i like to create a natural look with. 

it's perfect for an everyday eye makeup look.

it's also compact enough and is the perfect size to carry around your purse or travel with. 

love this one!
