The other day, I finally used up my Sephora gift card. After not knowing what to get forever (because I seriously walk around the store forever being SUPER indecisive) I finally settled on Nars "orgasm" nail polish....or so I thought! I came home and realized I had bought the orgasm stick blush!!!! I honestly must have been really out of it to not notice the significant amount of money I was spending on a nail polish($40.00+) instead I accepted my fate and went home.
Anyway, I went back the next day, and the girl who worked there thought it was funny and said, "Yeah, that's quite a significant price jump!"The nail polish only ended up being around $18.00
Anyway.....I also got this Clinique gift, from my Sephora points! But it's a little to moisturizing for me.
Here it is next to the famous Orgasm blush!!
This is after 2 coats! I like the sheerness and how it looks different it different lighting.
Below you can see how it looks more orange, since it has little old flecks in it, it tends to do that. But I really like having a lighter color of nail polish, because I always seem to buy really dark colors, or only red or purple haha! I think this color would look good on a lot of different skin tones, just like the blush does! I highly recommend it!

1st Crochet Project Finally Finished!!!
So, here it is. My first crochet project, finally finished! I'm so happy it's finally done. When I first started this project I just learned how to crochet, and since I had taken to it pretty easily, I thought I would start off by jumping into pretty difficult project!
I think that starting with a somewhat "difficult" project is actually helpful, because you can learn along the way. By the way, I got this pattern from a book called The Complete Guide to Crochet , it's a very helpful book full of different stitches and projects!
The reason why it took me so long, is because I only had one skein of this yarn, and then I ran out half way through the scarf!!! And since I got this yarn as a gift, quite a while ago, I couldn't find the right color anywhere and the brand of yarn was really hard to find!! But I finally found it and finished it last night!!!
XOXO,

Fox Hat
I'm really obsessed with Foxes lately, I've been drawn to fox themed things more and more! And I'm starting to accumulate fox related things like candle holders, hats, necklaces, and even drawing them lately too!
So, I thought I'd share my fox hat, that I've had since last Christmas and I really love it!!!! Also I thought I could share my makeup today! I bought another Revlon Just bitten lip stain, this one is called "Gothic" I don't know why..... It doesn't seem very "gothic" to me. But this makeup reminds me of Snow White!!
XOXO,
Caitlin

Cozy, Casual Outfit and New Hair
Here is my outfit from yesterday. I've been loving this new sweater from Forever21 because it goes with almost anything! Under, I'm wearing a comfortable jersey dress from Urban Outfitters and tights and shoes from Target.
The photo below, I thought was funny because my outfit looks a little disheveled.
And here are some up close shots of my new bangs! To be honest, I was a little shocked at first because I didn't ask her to do this, she started cutting them and I was facing away from the mirror, so I didn't know until....well, until it was too late! But in the end I liked them, I'm always a little brave with trying new things with hair, so after it was all styled I actually liked it!
Hope you guys like it!
XOXO,
Caitlin

What's in My Purse?
Hey everyone! I was sick over the weekend so I don't have much to share, so i thought I'd do a post about what's in my purse! I've never done a "what's in my purse" post before, and I honestly don't know what's been taking me so long! Perhaps it was because my past purses were full of weird things, including old gum wrappers and earplugs from concerts haha! Maybe that's why I've never done one of these.....
But since then I've made sure not to clutter my new bag, and I really don't have much in there at all! But I thought it would be fun to see anyway!
Purse: Studded purse from Forever21, very large and roomy, and perfect for Fall and Winter!
Wallet: Was a gift, but I know it's from Urban Outfitters.
Pen: Waterman pen in it's own little case, was also a gift, and often comes in handy!
Sunglasses: From Target, I think they are a little Summery, I always need sunglasses so I might need new ones that look more like they fit into the season.
Compact Mirror: Chanel blush, but I only use the mirror, I never really touch up my blush!
Lip Balm: Burt's Bees, Cherry flavor I love this!!! Believe it or not I don't bring around a lot of makeup, I just reapply this a few times a day!
Hair clips: Goody, from Target.
Phone: Of course I bring my phone with me.
Not Pictured are my keys because they are kind of ugly ahha!
Well, I hope you guys enjoyed that! I'm going to get my hair cut today(just a trim) so stay tuned for new hair pictures!!
XOXO,
Caitlin
