Everyday is Rex Manning Day

Dress: Forever 21

Tank (underneath): Old Navy

Jean Jacket: Gap

Patent Penny Loafers: Target

Necklaces: Forever 21

This would be my perfect outfit for my first day working at Empire Records. I know my dress isn't as short as Corey's and Gina's or as goth/punk as Deb's, but I think it fit in with the team right? Well at least I can hang out with Lucas on the couch as he curses "the man" while trying to pick the quarters that A.J. super glued on the floor.

Movie references aside, I love this dress. It has a funky animal print that surprisingly works. I might have to put this in my 30x30 pile, just to see how else I work this dress. I've also been on the hunt for penny loafers and I haven't had any luck. I saw some Bass ones on super sale at 6pm.com, but they didn't have my size. Boo. But last week I went to Target and picked up these patent leather ones for only $7. Score. 

 

I also went to Sephora today to use the gift card I got for Christmas to find the perfect red lipstick. I spent a good 45 minutes testing out the different brands and shades of red out there, sometimes the makeup choices still overwhelm me, but I still left with a great shade of red. Hot Tango (05) from Sephora Collection Rouge Lipstick. My first grown up lipstick. Yay!

Now I just need to check out Keiko's Red Lipstick Tutorial and maybe I'll be rocking red lips as much as Gwen Stefani. 

Catching Up

Shirt, tank, skirt and belt: Old Navy

Sandals: Target

Wore this last Thursday when I went shopping to the mall with my mom. She was looking for some sandals for her trip to Vegas with my dad next month. They're going for a home and garden convention, so I don't have to worry about them getting too crazy. :P

I went because last week Sephora sent out 15% off coupons to their beauty insiders and with a $20 gift card burning in my wallet, it was time to have a mini Sephora splurge.

I ended up getting Miss Dior Cherie, travel sized Josie Maran Argon Oil Moisturizing Stick,  brow gel, and a brow brush.

I already have Miss Dior Cherie L'eau and wanted the original version as well. It also has a wonderful ad campaign directed by Sofia Coppola. 

The moisturizing stick is becoming one of my fast faves. I like how it's packed as a stick rather than in a pot, which makes it easier to apply on your cuticles, my problem area. Plus it doesn't have a strong scent and (along with the rest of her beauty line) is 100% organic. 

Did anyone else partake in Sephora's 15% off coupon?

What did you end up buying?
