jewelry haul! (charming CHARLIE, francesca's, Brighton)

i really need to find a better way to store and display my necklaces. right now, i have them hanging from pushpins on a bulletin board, and the board is sitting on the floor. i've already knocked it over a few times... and what a pain it is to hang all the necklaces back up! i really need to find actual hooks with pushpin backs so the chains don't slip off easily.

in other news, i'm trying my hardest not to order tonight's TSV on QVC for Mally's newest collection. i really want her to try her new liquid foundation. it debuted on its own a few months ago, but you can't buy it individually on QVC at this moment. i'm not really interested in the liquid blush because i prefer powder/pressed blushes, but i really like her mascara, eyeliner, and shadow sticks. they are really bulletproof! however, what's holding me back is that i really don't need another foundation as i'm trying to phase that out of my makeup routine. i would really like to wear a tinted moisturizer or a light-weight liquid foundation or just go back to using Bare Minerals. i'm still holding out for them to release a pressed foundation. i'm crossing my fingers and toes! LOL

anyway, i can't wait until that day where i no longer have to wear concealer because that means i have no more spots to cover up! for the first time in a few days, i wore makeup today and i used my Clinique almost powder makeup. after that, i only had to cover up a few spots with my MAC studio sculpt concealer. i'll watch QVC tonight to see the demonstration before i make my final decision, but i'm leaning towards not buying it because i simply do not need it. this "no buy 2012" is so much harder than it looks! LOL xoxo Kathleen

clothing, jewelry, and new jacket haul!

oh, boy, how bad am i! i did more shopping! like i need any more clothes...

i had a nice time with my hubby... as much as he hates going shopping (except for a couple of stores), he tolerated every store we went to. i think it's because we went to an outdoor mall of sorts. the weather was great and he didn't complain one bit.

then a few hours later, i accompanied my friend and her daughter to the mall and bought a few more things... this time at the LOFT Outlet! i'm totally obsessed with buying cardigans! i got a teal one and a fuchsia pink one... i also got a white blouse that had a deep V-neck and 3/4 sleeves (i'll also pair it with a tank underneath because the V-neck is very revealing... LOL). i'll probably show these pieces in another video. i wore my new Eddie Bauer jacket the whole entire time and i didn't get sweaty at all. it was so comfortable to wear. i'm so glad i got it!

hope you had a good Saturday... now it's time to take off my makeup and get in my jammies. xoxo Kathleen
