~Fresh Coat~ Wet N' Wild How I Met Your Magenta

 This weekend's Fresh Coat was Wet N' Wild  How I Met Your Magenta and really love this color pink! Its bright but not neon-ish with a hint of shimmer. You can barely see the shimmer, which I like.

 With flash...

Without flash:( That's three coats and I can still see my nail underneath in real lighting. Gah, these damn fast dries are soooooo hit or miss!!!

~Haul~ Weekend Sal Val and Yard Sale Goodies!!!

Sooo....

Here's a haul of some things I picked up at the Sal Val and a yard sale that one woman gave me a plastic bag and told me to fill it up for $3....THREE DOLLARS!

Let's go....

Vintage/Retro Liz Claiborne Floral Handbag...Its probably from the 1980s...LC doesn't make purses anymore, right? I was drawn to the fabulousness of the floral...I wish it had the shoulder strap to go with it.

Diet Cookbooks...I collect diet books, diet cookbooks....they are full of good ideas....

Ok....the clothes are all out of the $3 bag from the yard sale...

White Stag henley for the fall/winter. That stuff from Wal- Mart never holds up well so when you see it in the Goodwill or a yard sale it looks worn to death. But this henley looks brand new.

Worthington sleeveless cowl neck

George striped blazers...I couldn't believe they both fit me!! OMG!!!

This one makes feel like going to Cluster meeting or Regionals. lol!

Newport News sleeveless shirtdress...that fits!! Its a 16. God is GOOD!!!

A demin round skirt...its wayyy too big...I might get it taken it.

~Adorn'd~ Being Crafty...Extending my "Short" necklaces with ribbon....

 Hey Everyone!

I have several necklaces that I think are too short for my neck.Plus I can never find anything to wear with them at their length, but I thought if I extended them, ala ribbon, they would be perfect to wear longer.

So the two top necklaces are from Target...

 The green beaded one in this picture is from Target too and the wooden one is Salvation Army find...

 Ribbon! lots of it...courtesy of my semi-craft hoarding parental unit. I didn't even ask before I used them.:)

 Voila!

For the clear necklace and did a pretty mauve pink ribbon and for the green necklace I did green ribbon. I made the ribbon equal on both sides of the necklaces but  long enough for adjustment....

 For the multicolored beaded necklace I did a mix of green, blue and purple for a little flavor. The brown beaded necklace got brown ribbon.

Why did I feel like I got new jewelry today!?!? I'm super happy on how they came out. Can't wait to rock them.:)

~Must Have! MAC All of My Purple Life!!!~

I haven't bought any thing MAC, since I bought MAC Sassy Grass eyeshadow. Really. That's it.


But this "All of my Purple Life" lipglass from the MAC Bloggers' Collection is going to be my next purchase! Created by Patrice of Afrobella, she swatches in on her lips and a hand in this video.






beautiful...I was gasping the whole video! Can't wait til' June 21!
