Ash’s obsessions

Invisibobble.  Best hairband ever.  I picked these up at a duty free shop on a recent layover and OMG!!! I am kinda bummed I didn’t discover them sooner.  I have relatively thin/fine hair and was worried they wouldn’t hold — but they are simply amazing.  If you haven’t tried them — do it now!

Manolos.  Earlier this week I went to the Manolo Blahnik exhibit at the Museum Kampa in Prague, and I am so in love with Manolo right now!  Did you know his dad was Czech?!

Kimono dress.  Love the colors and fit of this floral midi.  Pair it with stockings and boots or booties for cooler weather, and sandals or stilettos for spring and summer.

 

Aj’s obsessions

Free People Sweatpants. I have last year’s version of these and I wear them ALL THE TIME. I love them.

More to love top. What a pretty white blouse. Everyone needs a top like this in their closet. You can dress it up or down- with jeans or skirts.

Sequin detail cardigan. For only $64 this would be a fun little cardigan to have in your closet! Dress up a plain white tee in the best way possible- with sequins!

makeup bag essentials

I am no makeup artist- and I honestly hate anything that takes too long or too many products to perfect BUT, I thought I would share what is in my makeup bag and why I love it.IMG_3745.JPGI don’t use any fancy creams, or face washes- I honestly rarely wash my face (insert your squealing eww here) other than just the soap that hits my face in the shower. My skin is super sensitive and I’ve found the less I baby it- the better it behaves.

So, on that note: my makeup bag:

Buxom Luminizer 

I spread this quickly all over my face with just my fingers

Smashbox concealer

For those dark circles under my eyes, and just around my mouth to keep lipstick/glosses from getting weird smudge marks

Bronzer

I have two in my bag- either this Mac one or this Anastasia one. Use it under the cheekbones, jaw line, and any other place you want.

Anastasia Eyebrow pencil

Until I can get in to get my microblading done- this has been my go to.

BareMinerals Eyeshadows

These are the only ones my sensitive eyes can handle. I have them in a few different colors and love them

BareMinerals Eyeliner

Love it. Again, only one that doesn’t seem to break my eyelid out into a weird rash and swell up. My favorite is the plum color but it is hard to find…

Eyelash curler

They don’t sell mine anymore so I’m holding on to it for as long as I can. I’ve heard good things about this one though…

Diorshow Waterproof Mascara

I love this mascara- and yes, I wear waterproof everyday. It is the only way my stick straight eyelashes will hold any curl.

Lipgloss/Lipstick

As for lip glosses, I love these, and this one. As for lipsticks, you can’t go wrong with these or these.

let me know if you have any questions!

Ash’s obsessions

This week we got (yet another) bill for our ongoing house remodel… so I’m in the mood for a bargain… and I found some GREAT ones!!

Ruffle sweater.  I recently bought this sweater in gray, and now I’m thinking I might need the pink one too.  I mean, they’re only $25 !?!!  ps.  I sized down for a tighter fit.
Jumpsuit.  I am loving this jumpsuit for Fall.  I totally plan to wear it with sweaters and blouses to the office, and a t-shirt around town.  And right now its on mega sale!  I got mine for $30 !!!
Feminine dress.  Cannot wait to wear this!!  It is such a fun little fall dress, and only $35 ?!!

 

Aj’s obsessions

Ruffle hem knit dress. Talk about comfy! It has all the things I love- comfy, grey, drop waist, high low skirt- and $35. I’m sold.

New Balance 520 sneakers. It’s no secret I love sneakers- and the color of these are perfection.

Tiered hem tee. This is the perfect ‘I’ve eaten too many donuts this week’, or ‘I just had a baby’ tee! The placement of those ruffles are ideal!

links I’m loving

With baby only a few days away, I’m trying to distract myself with how uncomfortable I am by scouting the internet for links I’m loving. Here’s a few I’ve found!

  1. I can’t wait to be able to wear pretty dresses again like this lace one, and this lace one. Then, this one just looks comfy and cute!
  2. Love the message on this shirt. and the simple yet pretty floral design on this one.
  3. One last swimsuit for the season to lust over! $69!
  4. Cozy cardigans are my thing. Love this extra long one– and the colors are perfection.
  5. My pregnant feet need these cozy shoes.
