Good morning! Today’s look is what I’d wear on a hike – if I were trying to look cute hiking, that is. Actually it could work for any day, these pants are really comfy even though they are leather, and the booties couldn’t be more perfect for winter with the chunky heel.
Scroll down to read about my crazy frustrating weekend and some of my makeup faves!

I have to admit today is a day that I wish I could wear my sunnies all day long. This weekend was busy and I wasn’t feeling too great, but I wanted to do my outfit posts over the weekend so that I could totally focus on work during the week – one of my resolutions, actually. So I did all the prep work in choosing my outfits, got myself dressed and made up, then I realized I left my camera at work. After pouting for a little while, and at the insistence of my sweet husband (who knew I’d keep pouting if I didn’t get this done) I drove to work and got my camera. After we took all of the pictures, we viewed them at home and they were ALL BLURRY. Somehow I think we forgot about autofocus and all of those pictures went to waste. I should post them just to show you how terrible they were. Then we retook one outfit this morning (today’s look) before work, and well, they are just okay. The last one is blurry but not terrible. Maybe it’s just the Virgo in me talking, but I guarantee you these will be retaken at some point in the future.
Anyway, I also didn’t get a chance to do a video for my makeup and beauty routine – because I was sick and didn’t want my first-ever video to be punctuated by sneezes and coughs. So, I put together a quick list of my current favorite makeup that I use on a daily basis. Enjoy!
