Out & About | Outfit 32

I'm grateful that I can still wear a skirt during winter where I live. Skirts can easily make me look like I made an effort to get ready, even if in reality I just grabbed the first things I saw in my closet.

As always, thanks for reading!

A Little FYI

Happy Friday everyone! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving, and was able to get what you wanted on your shopping list.

I'm almost done with the second Splurge vs. Save list, and it should up some time next month. There's just a few things I want to add to it before I post it.

Oh, and I'm also on bloglovin. I would love it if you followed my blog.

Hope you'll have a relaxing weekend.

Out & About | Outfit 31

I love tops that have this kind of backing. All I would need to make and outfit like this complete (since the weather where I live can be unpredictable) is a light cardigan or jacket.

A couple notes:
- I might be MIA for a week or so.  There's a few things I need to take care of.
- I'm currently working a new Save vs. Splurge list!

Tomato Garlic Pasta

I was craving some pasta the other night, so I rummaged through my fridge and cupboards, and whipped up my go to pasta recipe.

Ingredients:

- 1 T olive oil

- 2 t butter

- 3 medium tomatoes, diced

- 3 garlic cloves, minced

- 1/4 t crushed  chili flakes

- a pinch or two each of dried tarragon, thyme, and basil

- salt & pepper to taste

- 1/2 lb of angel hair pasta

- grated parmesan cheese

Method:

1. Boil some water for the pasta.

2. Over medium heat, add the oil, butter, herbs, and chili flakes. 

3. When you can smell the herbs, add the tomatoes and garlic. 

5. Once the mixture starts to bubble a bit, lower the temperature to medium/low.

6. When the water is ready, add about a teaspoon of oil, and a big pinch of salt to the water before adding the pasta. 

7. As the pasta cooks, stir the sauce, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

8. Drain the pasta when it's al dente, and add to the sauce. 

9. Turn off the heat, and toss the pasta until it's evenly coated.

10. Serve with some grated parmesan on top.

Hope you like it!

Yes. No. Maybe | Naked On The Run

While browsing urban decays website, I stumbled upon this interesting palette (which will be available Nov. 20 at 1 PM PST). Though this looks like a nice palette, it would have been better if they changed a few things.

- The bronzer looks a bit too...orange, which would most likely make quite a few gals like myself look like an umpa lumpa.
- It would have been nice if the gloss was in another color (like apeachy nude perhaps?).
- Even though the eyeshadows look lovely, I feel it would have been better if a couple of of the shadows weren't so shimmery/ glittery.
- They could have included a couple of brushes to make this even more travel friendly.

Sorry if I seem like a negative Nancy, but I'm really picky when it comes to palettes that have a hefty price tag.

Would you want to get this palette?

I'm surprised I haven't posted any outfits with anything stripped. Oh well, better late than never.

Do you have a cold (like I did last week)?  Try making some ginger tea to help sooth your throat, and clear your sinuses.

Why Not?

An extra post today since I'm not sure I can post one tomorrow.

Not quite sure when or where I'd wear an outfit like this; all I know is that I'd have fun wearing it.

Yes. No. Maybe | Hourglass Modernist Eyeshadow Palette - Infinity (Update)

While I like colorful eyeshadows, I'm still, & will always be, addicted to neutral eyeshadows. Seeing this palette made my eyes widen, and had me saying, "ooohh" out loud. The price however, made me have a deer caught in the headlights moment. It is a $58 palette after all. 

So, is it worth the splurge? After reading a few reviews, and seeing some swatches, I'm on the fence about this one. The review, and swatches on this post, makes me think I'll love this product, but the review, and seeing how the shadows looked on her eyes in this post, makes me think that this can stay on my wishlist for a little while longer. I can only see myself splurging on this palette if they improve the formula, so it's actually worth its price tag.

Would you want to get this palette? 

P.S

This video shows what I'm taking about. There are plenty of other eyeshadows out there that give a similar effect, but don't cost as much as these palettes do.

Just thought I'd post another little black dress outfit. A LBD will always be a staple in my wardrobe, no matter how my style may change.

Do you have one in yours?

To help accent a vibrant colored dress like this, I would pair it with nude strappy sandals, simple jewelry, and a clutch in a color that's a bit similar to the dress.

Sorry About That....

Sorry for not posting a few of the Out & About Outfits in the proper order. I would reorganize them, but knowing myself, I'd end up doing something wrong, and possibly make a bigger mess of things. Rest assured I will work on making sure to post them in the proper order from now on.


As always, thanks for reading!
