Bargain Fashion Finds and stuff...Part II

For some reason Blogger's ass would not let me put all my pictures up. Any-T-ways, Here are three vintage bags I found at the Salvation Army in SPBG on the same day as my Goodwill haul. I swear its too neat in there...

Before you freak out on this pic...Union has this store called Green's Salvage where you can buy discontinued groceries and stuff from out of business stores like Winn Dixie. So I roll up looking for my usual Starbucks coffee already grounded for like 4.00 and see these boxes full of polish...Essie Nail Lacquer and Essie Lip Gloss and other Salon diddies like L'anza and Alterna. I ask the owner dude and he was like,the polishes and glosses $.25 and hair stuff, $1. What!!! I loaded up like a big dog. Here's what's in the pick, not in order though...

L'anza Solutions Urban Elements Liquid Texture Styling Gel

Alto Bella Curl Solutions Serum

Essie Ridge Filler

Essie Polishes in Innocent, Steppin' Out(2), Minimalistic, Cruise Control, Sole Mate, Flower Girl,Foot Loose,Pink Lemonade,Marabou,Primavera

Bargain Fashion Finds and stuff...Part I

I'm back...let's not talk about it. All I'll say is that the last couple days have been mentally brutal. Some one should give themselves a round of applause. For some reason I feel much better. And the mist of all the emotional turmoil I managed to hit the SPBG Hillcrest Goodwill and ran up on Target. Not really Target but tons of brand new stuff from Target at the Goodwill! This a new Mossimo grey tank. Don't mind the ironing board in the background!:)
Paul and Joe for Target Tunic.So sweet and comfy...
Mossimo Jacket,Size large...and it fits!
I remember this doggone dress. I tried it on last summer and decided against it for another dress and there is was in the Goodwill waiting for me!
Not Target and very summer 2004 but I love it anyway. Going to wear it with my Patrick Robinson tank I think.

Tuesday's Fashion/Beauty Observations...

I'd supposed to have this up Monday...but I don't no focus sometimes.Especially after having a surprise migraine that after taking two Hydrocodine pills, one Ativan, and two maybe three( I can't remember) glasses of Pinot AND I smoked a clove cigarette didn't solve. Ewwww...things were got blurry from there. I actually hoped I wouldn't wake up...but I did. God has purpose for me. Now that I've shown my ass (lol!) here are my Tuesday Beauty and Fashion Observations!:

-My soror/homie/cousin T.Hall were talking about the use of fashion words and how people( well, we were talking about certain "folks") abuse them. Like the word "couture". We referenced one of our favorite shows, Charm School, and how Schatar pimped Darra into thinking that her stuff was "couture" and would get more money for charity. All because you got somebody to make you a dress or you got a dress altered doesn't mean its " haute couture".Other words abused on our list, "vintage","shabby chic","designer"(Shay on Charm School was like, "I got designer clothes" and held up a Bebe shirt. What other fashion words do people abuse?

-Johnson and Johnson's Melt Away Stress Trio of Body Wash,Body Lotion, and Massage Oil is absolutely fantastic. But I'm tired of it already because I used it every night for a week. I does everything it promises to do too.

-Why does MAC online have free shipping codes when I don't have no money. It's not their fault though, I never has no money!

-Ah...that wonderful VS Semi-Annual Sale is approaching and is already online. This when I really wish I was back in Charlotte so I can hit Carolina Place,Southpark(flagship),Galleria, and Eastland Malls VS' for a major haulage on Beauty stuff. I might can get some panties and Pink stuff,too. I tried on a Pink hoodie in Large and it fit. That sh*t is so cute...

-Is Beyonce that only minority sista People Style Watch going to put on their cover? I heart the magazine to death but come on...

-L'oreal has a nude lippie collection coming out called "Nude Match". I'm excited because now I might find a nude lippie at a low price that I like.

-Fashion Boy told me other day that he will accompany me to see the Bitten by Sarah Jessica Parker @ Steve and Barry's in G-ville. But only because he knows where the store is and I don't. Yeah right.

So...today I'm wearing eyeliner. I was looking through the May 2007 People Style Watch decided to do a Drew Barrymore inspired look of black eyeliner and pink lips. Here's the scoop:

I mean really oily with a breakout here and there. I need to do entire overhaul of face care already. But I do have on Tarte Clean Slate Face Primer.

Brows: Milani Easy Brow in Dark Brown

Eyes:Avon Glimmersticks in Blackest Black,then I took my Smashbox 12 brush with the slanted tip and ran over the eyeliner with mark. by avon black eyeshadow.

The Good in a Bad Day...

I have a good day and then I have a bad day...

That's what happened Sunday, I had a bad day. A mix of broken promises and Sunday's newspaper listing of weddings and engagements set it off. I almost didn't recover, meaning I almost went into that dark place but what good about the God's blessing in giving me my house is that I have three bedrooms, my room, the boys' cabana, and an extra room( office/ironing room/library) I went in there and starting flip through some of my fashion and beauty books. In the nick of time my mom called me to see if I was coming over and so I grabbed my Sunday Clutch Bag( a navy blue Aigner clutch) and went over and hit the 'net. I kicked it on MUA and that made me feel better too, seeing all the new and great products people were gushing over. I even got some new recipes off the Food Board. Then the babes came home and my life lit up:). We went back home and I started to work on my lookbook.I found a picture of Missoni Home Passiflora Astrid Chair in Friday's USA Today that I decided not to put in my book but on my bathroom mirror for inspiration. It's obviously bright,quirky, cool like me.:) I found the good in a bad day.
