Switchin-It-Up



Estee Lauder Lipstick: Nude Velvet (for day) and Red Velvet (for night)


Lately I've been all about experimentation and switching up the ol' routine. This week I swapped bright lipstick in lieu a lighter pink for day, wore a glittery polish combination instead of the usual matte shades, and tested my culinary skills with various unique recipes including: homemade pesto eggplant pizza, baked macaroni and cheese with cauliflower as well as a vegan pumpkin bread. Sometimes life calls for a refresher to keep you on your toes and most importantly inspired! 




My girlfriend and I used dried figs, dates and apple sauce as natural sweeteners and substituted white beans for oil to make an uber healthy (and scrumptious) pumpkin pudding bread (recipe here).


Berets in various colors not only kept my head warm, but my ensembles interesting.


Swapping mustaches for cute chicks (aka a new girlie iphone case).

Reading multiple books at once because one story line would just be plain boring.


Playing around with various sequin and lip combinations.

Love the new iPhone case. Do you mind sharing where you got it?

I'm such a hat person in the winter. Great look on you!

Cute iPhone cases. I really need to get a new iPhone so I can get some girly cases. They no longer have a cool selection for 3Gs phones.

I love Deborah Lippmann glitter polishes. I need to get one. I think it's the birthday one that I like.

I'm usually not a lip color type of gal, but I just found a deep wine colored lipstick for myself and I am in love. I love the mustache iphone case, but I equally love the hip chick one as well. You make me want an iphone just for the cases! Hope you have a great weekend!

xoxo,
Victoria

What do you think of the Derek Blasberg book? I know it's toungue in cheek, but the pretentiousness drove me nuts!

I've been trying to brainstorm day shades of lipstick for a while now, you have now inspired me!
