Tuesday

Orange sweater jacket from J. Crew ('07), white ribbed tank from Old Navy ('07), denim pencil skirt from Newport News (free, '07), magenta and orange peeptoe wedges from J. Crew (sale, '07), gold necklaces from Express ('05) and a beach boutique ('07), gold bangles from Ralph Lauren ('07).

Hair was washed and conditioned, a bit of Jonathan Silky Dirt added while damp. Blew the bangs straight, let the rest air dry. it ended up looking a bit goofy, so currently in a messy updo with sideswept bangs.

Makeup is L'Oreal True Match foundation in C3 used as concealer, philosophy The Supernatural in Beige, Nars blush in Orgasm, Revlon Super Lustrous lip gloss in Glossy Rose, Revlon ColorStay shadow quad in Neutral Khakis – the ivory in the inner corners, Pop Beauty's Shadow set for brown eyes – the celadon shade on the lid. Lashes curled, two coats of DiorShow and a thick line of Maybelline UltraLiner in black on top lash line.

OMG, so happy dancing about these shoes. I first saw them in Lucky magazine in the summer and drooled over them. Two of my favorite colors (I even had pink and orange as my wedding colors), a darling little bow and a wedge heel. It was as though the J. Crew gods got together to create the dream shoe for Allie. Too bad the price was way outside my comfort zone.

Well they FINALLY went on sale (and I had a few promo codes up my sleeve) and they STILL had my size in stock so I finally got them! My winter wardrobe isn't really made for them, but I can see them going with a good 80% of my spring and summer pieces! I jsut had to share a close-up photo (and also you can see the new pedi!).
