Pretty pucker

I stopped by Aveda today to use my free $10 birthday gift card, which I am sure is just a marketing scheme to get people to spend because only the trial sized products are under $10. Anyway, I bought a bottle of rosemary mint lotion, but then tried the most amazing lip colour. As a pale person with barely any eyebrows, I find it difficult to wear dramatic make up, but this shade was bold without being garish. Behold:

Style in the snow

Tis the season for winter accessories, which is why this wool scarf is perfect. The abstract black and white pattern resembles branches in a snowstorm and matches any outfit or coat.

Guess who picked up these killer booties earlier this afternoon... Me! I love the strap action and can't wait to wear them out!

Have a seat

A friend of mine just bought a new home and has been looking at furniture, which inspired me to take a gander at some pretty pieces myself. If I had a place, I think I would get two of these chairs and place them just like in this photo, but maybe with something decorative in between like a tall vase or a little table.

Two windows to the soul

As someone with a typically flat Asian nose, I have a hard time finding glasses that will stay up instead of giving me a granny look. Along came these glasses today, or rather, along came the unusual, architectural lines of these glasses. They caught my eye first, but it is the little nosepads that had my heart going pitterpatter. I wasn't crazy about the jet black frames at the shop, but if they had been available in this gorgeous red, I might have snapped them up!
