my latest and greatest buys

I went into town the other day and (surprisingly) didn't buy much. But what I did buy was well worth the money. 

 I have needed a black sweater for....a long time. This one I found at Walmart for $5. Great deal, right? And while it doesn't look that great in the picture, it is actually super cute and comfy.

 I found these Brash stilettos for $20 at PayLess Shoes. And after wearing them all evening to the Spring Formal last night, I have to say that they are probably the most comfortable high heels I have ever worn.  

 I love the sparkles!! They just make me happy :)

 I was in desperate need of new foundation, and I got this Maybelline for $5.94 at Walmart. So far I am super happy with it. It goes on really nice and light, seems to stay on (all day) very well, and it doesn't make my face feel like it is coated in paint. 

After I went for a run in the rain last week and wore my black sweatshirt, my mother strongly encouraged me to get a bright running jacket of some sort. I got this Danskin Now for $9.96 at Walmart (surprise). I. love. it. It's so light and comfy and pretty! 

I also got two bottles of nail polish (which I neglected to take a picture of), some eye shadow applicators, and a bottle of hair gel. Over-all, I am happy with what I got and how (relativity) little I spent. Now I just have to figure out where else I can go in my sparkly stilettos....

Sickness and the things that come from it....

Sometimes I find it hard to find the good in seemingly bad things. But I today I discovered that sometimes being sick can actually be a good thing. I got to relax, drink tea, watch old movies, and pin approx. 5 million beauty tips on Pinterest. Okay, not quite. But close.

Oh how I love Ma and Pa. If you have never seen one of their movies, you absolutely must. 

They're classic. 

This is probably one of my favorite movies of all time. 

I've always identified with Anne...maybe cause of how stubborn she is.... 

Found this life changing idea for a message on a drink. "Write down on a plastic cover and cut the letters out.  Cover cup and sprinkle cinnamon or cocoa on top of the stencil." 

$2.00 mascara?? I think I may have just died and gone to heaven. Read the review here.

These instructions on how to clean your makeup brushes are amazing. I tried it out on my brushes this afternoon, and they are as clean as a whistle! I wish I would have taken a picture of my foundation sponge before and after I cleaned it....cause there was a HUGE difference. 

This is awesome. 

Found a pattern for this skirt that I am itching to try. (Check it out here.)

I kept seeing these pictures with one "statement" nail. So I decided to try it. 

Okay, so mine doesn't look nearly as good, but who cares!

So while this picture is a little over the top, it kinda represents what I am feeling like. And now I don't have any excuses to not do homework. (another reason why being sick can be good....) So adios, amigos. 

my shoes and what they say about me

I may or may not be slightly obsessed with shoes. Okay, maybe obsessed is to strong of a word, but I do love shoes. Pretty much, if I am around people, I am noticing their shoes. To me, a persons shoes tell me a lot about them. So today, I am giving you a look into my life by way of my shoes. 

This is my favorite pair of shoes. They are comfortable, easy to get in and out of, and go with pretty well anything. (okay, maybe not that last part...) As you can see, I have worn them a lot. Like, a LOT.

Just to give you an idea of how much, here's a picture of a brand new pair of Romeos. 

Next up: Stilettos. 

I love my stilettos. Not only because they are awesome, but because I bought them on my 18th birthday with one of my best friends. 

Peep toes. They make life complete. (just kidding)

 Can you love a quote more than I love this one?? Don't think so.

My running/workout shoes. Pretty much the only time I wear these shoes, but I love them nonetheless. 

New Balance, and made in the USA.

I have just recently fallen in love with these heels again. They are cute, pretty comfy (unless you wear them for a extended length of time) and stylish. 

 Again with the peep toes! Someday I will have heels that don't have peep toes. Maybe. 

Rubber boots. Life on a farm is not complete without these. (If you don't believe me, try living on a farm during the rainy season.) And the best part? They are made in the USA!!

Last but definitely not least: My Danners. 

My brother convinced my to buy these about two years ago, and I'm really glad he did. I don't wear them as often as I would like to, but I do love them. I'm pretty sure they are the most comfortable shoe I will ever wear. 

 And once again, they are made in the USA! 

So what do my shoes say about me? I think they say that I am a country girl who enjoys stylish things. But that's just me, and I may be a little prejudice because I know myself. So I will let you decide. 

What do you think my shoes say about me?
