Musings of a City Girl

I ordered these cute ankle boots on Tuesday night and they arrived at my home the next day. So I have to say: Zappos I’m impressed! Not only was shipping free, but it was lightning fast as well. I usually don’t order shoes online, especially when I have little to no experience with a brand. Luckily Zappos has a 365-day free returns policy that makes shopping for shoes online anxiety-free.

I love these booties by the way. They are stylish and comfortable. You can dress them up or down. I plan on wearing these to work and on the weekends.

I will think about these babies for the 2-3 weeks it will take for them to get home. Usually items don’t take that long to ship from Gilt Groupe but I am willing to wait because of the money I am saving. If you are a fashionista that appreciates quality and likes to invest in pieces that will last for years, if not forever, this is a site you need to join. I love flower earrings so I could not pass on those Filigree Flower Earrings. Those purple gems make them even more adorable. I would pair them with a purple dress. Maybe not purple to not be so matchy matchy. Perhaps another color outfit without any prints. Something about that Three Chain and Flower Brooch Necklace screams vintage chic. I just need to find the perfect little black dress to pair with the necklace.

I did not get anything from this collection. I thought I had porcelain pink but I don’t. I confused it with Petticoat.

Costa Chic Lipstick (by MAC), Euro Beat Dazzleglass (by MAC), 4 Gloss Pur (by YSL)

I picked up Costa Chic and Euro Beat to have another killer coral lip combo. I have revealed my obsession with coral lips in the summer multiple times. I wanted to try a Gloss Pur because it has no shimmer but the low color pay off makes this gloss not worth the money.

Naked Lunch, Retrospeck, All That Glitters, Motif, Soft Brown, Saddle, Soba eye shadow by MAC

Naked Lunch, Retrospeck, All That Glitters, Motif, Soft Brown, Saddle, Soba eye shadow by MAC

I got a few lighter/neutral eye shadows from MAC. I do so many dramatic looks and needed a few more colors to do some lighter looks. The camera does not truly show what Motif looks like in person. You can see the pink but it doesn’t pick up the glow.

Sephora Large Brush Holder and Sephora by OPI nail polish in Metro Chic

I’ve had that Sephora Large Brush Holder on my wish list for a long time! So happy I finally got it. It has 2 dividers so you can divide your brush collection into 3 sections.

I wanted to try out a Sephora by OPI nail polish and decided to start out with Metro Chic because of fellow YouTuber lollipop26′s recommendation in one of her videos.

I went to the Make Up For Ever Boutique in New York (the only one in the United States) with fellow YouTuber Ramnari7. I went in with the intentions of only picking up their Face and Body foundation and concealer pencil, but ended up picking up a few more things.
