Pointed Pump

1. Kate Spade Licorice / 2. Truth or Dare Montilla / 3. Anne Klein Wrenn 

4. Truth or Dare Corinie / 5. MIA Bennett / 6. Schutz Aretha

I remember my first pair of pointed shoes - a pair of brown Steve Madden pumps with a stacked heel. A stacked kitten heel, that I haven't worn in years. The style is everywhere now, with a more modern shape - a sexy cutout at the arch of the foot - and more frills, like bright neon shades and ankle straps, another trend that's making its rounds.
I am dying to get a pair of these, but which ones?? Here are a few of my favorites.

Spring Things

Beautiful strappy sandals from Zara spring/summer 2013 

Embracing girliness with bright pastels 

Celebrating early spring with a tranquil trip to Cape Cod 

Spring cleaning - reorganized my lipsticks in an acrylic container that used to hold my palettes and some of my favorite jewelry is now on display in an old Hermes tie box

Revitalized one of my old favs, Sephora by OPI Havana Dreams with Seche Vite Restore

Hope you guys are enjoying spring, and as always thanks for reading,

Leather-like

Cardigan: Zara 

White tank: H&M (similar)

Waxed Denim Skinnies: H&M (similar)

Hat: Forever21 (similar)

Shoes: Target

It may be spring, but it's still chilly in nyc! At least on the days that these photos were taken. 

This cozy cardigan and my pom pom hat kept me warm. 

These wax denim skinnies from H&M are my new favorite. They add a perfect amount of cool to any look, especially with wedge sneakers. I'm going to be rocking them well into the spring, with bright tanks and strappy sandals. 

Hang in there, it's almost the weekend!

Korres Zea Mays Blush - No 44 Orange

Korres Orange, one of the first blushes I ever purchased, had been sitting at the bottom of my collection for years after I accidentally dropped and shattered it. I finally patched it up with a few drops of rubbing alcohol (instructions here) because it really is one of the most beautiful blushes I own. 

It looks scarily dark in the pan, but on the skin it shows up as a fluorescent pink-coral. It has gold shimmer running through it that brightens it up and gives a luminous effect on the cheeks. It is one of those blushes that lifts and brightens your face as soon as you apply it. Best of all, it has a completely silky invisible finish, so it blends right into the skin. 

Now that I have the full, intact blush again, I am going to wear it all throughout spring/summer. 

Love it!
