OOTD- Wild Pink

Top: Zara
Skirt: BCBG
Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs
Shoes: Steve Madden
Necklace: Tiffany's

So one of my goals for the summer was to stay away from black, and to try to populate my color-deprived closet of some nice bright colors. When I saw this top from Zara I knew that it had to be mine. Don't you just love the how vibrant this shade of pink is? 


And just to do something a little unexpected, I decided to pair this outfit with these really adorable shoes (that I got on sale, which makes them even more super adorable):

And here's the outfit all together:

And I thought that I would add a nice grey bag to the mix for work:

Anyways... that's all folks! By the way, what unexpected combinations have you been wearing lately? Would love to hear!


Have a great weekend!

Shopping with Sharon - My new treats from H&M, Zara and Sephora

Although the weather outside has been crap out lately, my mind still thinks of Spring, Spring, Spring!!! So, seeing as though this is the first week of the new season I figured that I would celebrate by doing a little bit of shopping.

First stop was H&M. I walked in and within 5 minutes came across this dress:

Okay, so maybe the picture doesn't do it justice, but it is the perfect light, flowy dress for spring. I love the understated leopard print pattern and the slight detail of the ruffles off to the right of the dress. Plus it gathers at the waist to make me look like I have somewhat of a shape and because it's not unbearably tight I could definitely pig out in this dress. And the price tag of $39.00 was definitely easy on the eyes.

Next stop was Zara and and was really excited to see this:

Honestly I have been to this store a few times and could never find anything to fit me. I'm not a huge person but there were times when I couldn't get some dresses over my thighs. Yeah, like that's not embarassing. However, today I did come across this black sheath dress and did a dance of joy when I discovered that I could actually fit in it. I did another dance of joy when I found out that the dress was $59. Doesn't it look like it should be more expensive?

My last stop was my all-time favorite store in the whole wide world - Sephora. I swear that I love this store more then sex  chocolate. I could spend hours and hours lingering over every aisle, testing and swatching every product, fantasizing about different looks that can be created with that one perfect lipstick. But alas, I only had 30 minutes to be in and out so I had to choose my products wisely. And here they are:

From Left to Right:

1) Fiberwig DIY Volumizer Mascara - This is the sister mascara to the Fiberwig Mascara that I reviewed here. I like the fact that this mascara wand isn't curved and hoping that it will load my sparse eyelashes with an abundant amount of volume. We'll see.  

2) Hourglass Aura cheek stain (in Petal)- This is one of Sephora's HOT products right now and since I ran out of my NARS Orgasm blush stick that I talk about here I thought that I would try this out. I don't own any Hourglass products so this should be an interesting buy.

3) Hourglass Film Noir Mascara (x2)- These are sample sizes that were given to me because of Insider points. I don't know much about this mascara except for the fact that the brush is shaped like an hourglass.

4) Urban Decay eye primer potion (in Sin)- Could this be the holy grail of primers for the eye? Can't wait to try!

5) Stila smudge stick waterproof eyeliner (in lionfish)- I have this product in Stingray. I love that it doesn't smudge (true to the name) even through workouts. I sometimes have it on for 13 hours and it doesn't budge. Love it!

Hmmm... I think that I see a few reviews in your future.

What about you? Have you done any spring shopping? Do share!
