Drink - Sobe Strawberry Daiquiri

Food - I don't usually eat the same meal too many times in a month, but this month I've been doing tuna with sea salt, ground pepper and chipotle wrapped in a heart's of romaine leaf, a lot. And I've also been eating the Progresso pasta fagioli soup, which is a meatless soup. It has a tomato base, pasta and cannellini beans. Oh and tons of raspberrries. Nom, nom, nom.

App - snapchat, youtube, candycrush, instagram, a sleep sounds app.

Book - Poison Study and Magic Study by Maria V. Snyder.

Movie - New Year's Eve and One for the Money.

Music - Under the Sea by the Squirrl Nut Zippers, Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke, The Count of Monte Cristo by the Noisettes, Barton Hollow by the Civil Wars, the Crybaby and Rock of Ages soundtracks, Ella Fitzgerald and the Lady is a Tramp by Frank Sinatra.

Fashion - J. Crew tank top seen in video! :)

Random - My new bookshelves I built (with assistance - ok I was more of the assistant here. Details, details!), reading in the sun, playing with my 4 dogs.

Blogger - Couture Carrie. I haven't been among the blogging community that much and Carrie's one of the few bloggers I've ever talked to. I'm so glad I did though! She is one of the sweetest, nicest and most fashionable people you will ever have the privilege to know! If you haven't had the chance to see her blog, you can check it out here! 

And Katie at Lovely Lady! She is an amazing girl and dear friend with a fabulous blog that you can check out here! She writes beautiful posts and takes amazing pictures, and is so open and honest in her blog. She inspires me all the time.

Madcap Makeup Monday

Hey Everyone, how's your day going? I hope it's off to a better start than my week - I got a unidentified bug bite this weekend and have spent most of the past two days in bed asleep. Not exactly a burgeoning opportunity for glamorous makeup (or ahem, any at all), however the previous week I tried a few different looks and really enjoyed the results.

During the past week I broke out of the summertime rut with a pinup red lipstick look, in addition to several days of bright pink lips and a smoky green eye shadow look for this weekend. It was a nice change from the all-natural/sweet look I've been attempting lately. 

What have you been wearing lately? Let me know in the comments!

Best wishes,

Madcap Makeup Monday

Madcap Monday Madness

Hey everyone! I hope you had a good weekend and are going to have a great week! It's been getting ever hotter here and I've been using less and less makeup some this week's collection is pretty streamlined. I re-discovered so old favorites from last summer (I'm looking at you Revlon Lip Butters) that I've fallen for so hard again, I'm wondering why I ever left them.

Oh that's right, because I'm a fickle slave to beauty products.

Oh well. 

My go-to look for the week has been a bright pink lip - especially Temptress by Covergirl. It's a shimmer-free bright, Barbie neon-pink and I love it with a bit of a tan. I got several compliments on the color, which is always nice :) I've been pairing it with a little bit of blush and bronzer, a touch of concealer and powder; some long, defined and flirty eyelashes and a itty-bitty line of gel eyeliner. It's simple, wears well and cute for the summer.

What's your go-to July look???

Have a great rest of the day!! XO Elisabeth <3
