Fashion Questions

Hello Faithful Readers~
  I try to be a fashionista but, to be honest, it takes a lot of effort and it really isn't my forte' so I thought I would come to you guys to see if you could give me some advice and tell me the products that you all use.
  
1. What kind of moisturizer do use?

2.  What are your favorite on-line shopping sites for women's clothes?  I have ordered boots and purses from JustFab.com for a while but I'm looking for other sites to check out.


3. What brand makeup do you use?  I have used Bare Minerals for years but I am looking for a different brand?


4.  If you use fake eyelashes, do you go have them put on or do you do it yourself?  If you do it yourself, what brand do you use?  What kind of glue? 

5. Not necessarily a fashion question but . . .Food is a huge issue in our house.  I don't eat pork and Scott doesn't necessarily like seafood . . . this leaves us with basically chicken and beef.  I am looking for healthy (even gluten-free/paleo) recipes.  Any favorite sites?

Thanks for your help!
   

Makeup Questions

This is a topic for all of you girly girl fashionistas out there . . .

What kind of make-up do you use?  I have used Bare Minerals (with some drugstore eye shadows, lip gloss, etc thrown in there) for about 6 years and I am starting to get tired with it. 

Also, how did you learn to apply makeup?  I see people who have gorgeous makeup and have no idea how they got it to look that way.  Is there a class you can go to, to learn to put on makeup? 

If you were to ask me my style, I would say I'm a mix.  I rarely wear makeup during the day or even during the week.  When I go out, though, I'd say I would definitely lean more toward the dark, sexy, smokey rather than the light, sweet, natural looks (think Kim Kardashian-type makeup).

Finally, what is your #1 go to product or your #1 makeup secret?

 

Look What Mommy Got in the Mail Today

Last week I saw this ad pop up for a shoe/bag/accessory site called Just Fabulous. 

Here's how it works: 

Go to Just Fabulous and take their individualized style test.  They will show you a gallery of shoes that fit to your taste.  When you find something you like, the shoes are only $39.95 INCLUDING taxes/shipping/handling.

I was a little worried about ordering shoes online but with Just Fabulous, it isn't a problem because they have such an easy return policy that I didn't feel like I would be stuck with a pair of shoes that didn't fit or that I didn't like in person. 

So . . .this afternoon this is what I received . . .

H-O-T!

The shoes even came with a fabulous protection bag.

Love, Love, Love them.  I will definitely be ordering from Just Fabulous again.  I figure that I would spend way more than $39.95 at any other store and not have nearly as large of a selection or get unique, fabulous shoes and boots that most people won't be wearing, as well.

What I'm Packing for Vegas

If you haven't noticed, Hottie Scottie and I love Vegas.  The first few times we went I packed so many clothes.  I mean so many clothes that it looked like I was moving there.  Over the trips, though, I've learned how to consolidate outfits and re-use.  My goal for this trip was to just take a carry-on but with all of the airline rules for hair care/make-up products we will have to check a bag.

Anyway, I should say that when we go to Vegas we do not go clubbing.  As a matter of fact, I have not been to one single club while in Vegas.  Sure, there are a couple that I'd like to go to just to say that I've been but I have no desire to pay a ridiculous cover charge, wait out in a huge line to be picked to come in, and then pay upwards of $10 for a drink.  It's just not my thing.  In my younger days you can bet that I would have been all over it.  LOL

Having said that, none of the clothes I'm taking are over-the-top or club-worthy.

We have got our trips down to a science.  We get in early Friday afternoon and fly out late Sunday night.  So I need 4 to 5 outfits in that time period.

Clearly, I still need iron.

I am also taking a pair of jeans "just-in-case".  I figure anything that I need and I don't have then that will just give me an excuse to go shopping.  Woohoo!

I always try to carry larger purses so that I can bring along an extra pair of shoes.  My friend, Janice, thinks that is hilarious but if you have ever walked the Las Vegas Strip in 3 1/2 inch heels then you understand the need for a spare pair.

I know a few people have commented on how often we go out to Vegas, look for a post on "How to stay in Vegas for free" very soon.
