Does this scare you?

Everyone most likely has their Halloween outfits picked out by now. For the past 2 years I dressed up at work. The first year I wore a cheer-leading outfit and wore a pony tail hair extension with some non-prescription glasses. I went as Mary Katherine Gallagher, from Saturday Night Live with the Super Star skit.

Remember her?

Last year I wore the most nerdy clothes possible. Pants pulled up to my boobs, hair in pig tails, nerd shoes and even my asthma inhaler in tote. Everyone got a real good kick out of this outfit and said it totally suited me. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry! nerd2012_2

OOTWW + a lot of Starbucks

1 Comment

Whewf. This week certainly flew by for me. How about yourselves?

Kind of glad it’s the weekend. It’s the busiest time of the year at work (from Sept-Nov usually) and not only that I need to catch up on my blog posting schedule! I feel like I’m a little behind at the moment. This week,  I had Starbucks four out of the five days. Whoa nelly.starbucks drink

That’s some massive sugar and caffeine intake. And a lot of money. I prefer not to add up the cost I spent on peppermint white mocha’s this week. Instead, let’s take a peek at what I’ve been wearing to work. Side note. Not sure how much longer I can handle taking photos outside in the mornings. I was freezing my buns off for these pics.ootww

What are your weekend plans?
Besides volunteering at the climbing gym, I am doing absolutely nothing. This is the first open weekend I’ve had since the end of September!

What do you usually order at Starbucks?
My orders are usually:

  • peppermint white mochas
  • passion tea lemonade half sweet raspberry
  • mocha frappuccino

Recap of Annabelle Cosmetics #24Days Challenge

3 Comments

I just got back from the mall. Two nights in a row after not going for months on end. Then again, last night’s excursion wasn’t for me. I dropped $200 at H&M, on 3 pairs of pants and 1 black velvet blazer. Everything looked great, and I couldn’t decide! I’m somewhat having buyers remorse. I’ll have to go through my closet to see if I really need the pants and blazer, and then go from there. Oops.

Today I uploaded the last image for the #24Days challenge with Annabelle Cosmetics. It was such a fun swatch fest for the past 3+ weeks. I tried lips shades I thought I’d never wear, hated the look of some until I put it on my lips and they became all-time favs. Kinda crazy that I’m really into the bright colours though! I thought I’d be more of neutral pink fan, turns out — not so much!

Here are all 24 colours swatched from October 1 — 24. Remember if you like these colours, you can win them here on my blog! The giveaway is open until October 29 and is eligible for people in the USA and Canada. Yay you!
