Movie Saturday

Well... I've got nothing especially fabulous or amazing. But I have been wanting to wear my lightweight, dark forest green, long-sleeve top.

And it happened that my friend and I were meeting to watch "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug!

( <3 <3 that movie so much!)  So I decided to dress like a one of my favorite woodland elves, wearing greens and browns. I even had my mom braid a part of my hair similar to some of the braids we've seen already in some of the Lord of the Rings movies. 

 

I dressed here in a Forestry sort of green color layed over my brown fancy tank top because it was cool in the morning. I had previously meant to wear my brown corduroys trousers, but it was too warm for that so some lighter comfy ones.

And then for makeup  I used a white and sparkly brush on (it was the very last of it...) , as well as the white (at the left in the picture) and then I added sparkles, because of the wood elves love of starlight.

The Pinkie Pie (Valentine's Day)

 Today's Outfit

is called 

 

PINKIE PIE!

*cough* Nothing to see here.

I brushed some light pink on.

It was a busy day and desperately searching through jewelry for something that would work. Mom then loaned me her pearl necklace and it just seemed to pull it all together.

Out to Appointments

Picking up where I left off here yesterday. I was originally going to call this "Ready and Red" this title seemed to fit better given the day.

Well when my camera came back to life, it was late so I didn't get many pictures or very good ones. >.<  First, I layered a white cami under a red shirt with my blue jeans to give it a red, white and blue look.  added my silver belt and an old shell necklace I've had for a long time.

I had sandals on in the morning but due to the cold I added my faux fur edged winter slip ons. They are very comfy with my fuzzy red and green snowman socks. :D

Running behind myself all day

Today's outfit would have been called "Out to appointments" or something along the idea of being dressed up to go out into town. Consisting of a red shirt, (and a shell/pearl necklace I found) white cami, dark blue jeans and accented with my silver loop belt, however both my cameras have died.

Hopefully, I will have pictures later or tomorrow.  :)

Thanks to everyone for reading my blog.

Peach, Pink and Plum

Peach, Pink, Plum

This mornings outfit is more about comfort than style. As I had washed my hair this morning I went for my pink knit hat as it keeps my head warm while my hair air dries and helps ward of cold sensitive headaches that sometimes occur.

Then I rubbed some (Ack. It seems my makeup brush seems to have vanished. >.> ) Colorevolution "Sugar plum" onto my eyes.

except unfortunately it turned out darker than I thought it would and made my face look white. So then I added some Burt's Bees Chapstick "Pomegranate"

 (as you can see it looks much pinker next to my other shade of eyeshadow)

and a dash of "Peach" blush.

Voila!

Morning Face - Removing the mask

Morning Face

So this is pretty much the unvarnished me after a shower. The shower always makes my hair curl. most mornings it looks something like this.

 Though truth be told I probably looks more like this in the morning

basically the reason I'm posting this is based on a qoute from adonis ephemeral 

 "But I often feel, and they probably also feel, that every body else looks great.  Impossibly great.  I see pictures in magazines and on Pinterest, and I think, "That girl probably woke up looking that pretty.  She probably looks pretty without even trying.  Everyone else in this world is gorgeous except me."  Because I can see all my flaws.  I live with them.  I don't see the flaws hidden behind the photographs.  And while I know my views are wrong, I still have only those snapshots of pretty people to go off of, and it can be discouraging."

 And I empathized, because I struggle with things too.

Seeing everybody's pretty life on Facebook. Looking at my frizzy hair and trying to be thankful. (I did want curly hair....) Trying to remember I am a child of God. His Princess. Extremely valuable to him, because of the high price he paid for me. Cherished. Beloved. Wanted. Valued. A new creature.  Because I can look at everybody's beautiful face or everybody's life that seems to be going all together and feel like "Well what went wrong with me? Where did I miss the boat"

I start comparing then I start wanting to be them, and then it sets me up for a whole vicious circle of emotions.  God bless my friends for calling out the good, "the gold" (as one article I read recently said) in me.

Sun and Sunflowers

So this is something I am going to try for a week. Partly inspired by Jennifer Freitag and adonis ephemeral and partially by my good friend Lady Rosebud. And a little by my feeling so good about myself yesterday when I make-up'd my self for going out.

Sun and Sunflowers

Today's outfit consists of  1 brown elastic headband (dollar store bargins!)

Then I used the Gaze Wear eye rub eyeshadow color "Gold digger" on my eyes

followed by Maybelline's Unstoppable eyeliner, color "expresso". It is a soft stick rather like a crayon as opposed to a hard pencil or liquid.

And finally Giovanni's Echo Chic Hair Care More Body Hair Thickener

And Finally!

And I feel great!
