Day 17: Pop of Color

You know those days where you really just want pretty hair? Well, today was that day for me. Honestly, I've only gone to Kroger to pick up some things for lunch..and to buy myself lipstick, don't tell Curtis I had ulterior motives for going, hehe. I woke up this morning, decided I'd rather not do a ton of walking on my foot, and just went back to sleep. Once I finally decided to start my day, I knew I wanted to actually do something with my hair besides straightening it, so I whipped out my 1" curling iron and went to town. I haven't really used my curling iron enough, but I think y'all will be seeing much more of it! 

That lipstick I mentioned above, it's not really lipstick, it's Revlon's ColorBurst Lip Butter. If you haven't tried any yet, I strongly recommend it. Seriously, I'm obsessed, and I'm just going to keep buying more. It feels like I've got the perfect mix of lipstick, lip gloss, and lip balm on my lips. I've always loved lipstick, but I feel like I look a bit ridiculous in it most of the time..so I thought I'd give this a try a few weeks ago, it's amazing. I bought the Peach Parfait first, just because I was looking for a peachy color and I didn't want to get anything too dramatic, just in case I didn't really like it. But, I've been dying for a good red color for my lips, so I thought since I loved the first one so much, I should at least give another one a try..thus, Kroger trip. I bought the Candy Apple, put it on right when I got in the car, and I.am.obsessed. It's not too bright or dramatic, but it gives me that pop of color I've been wanting. Seriously guys, you should give it a try! Would it be bad if I bought every color? Probably.. 

Here's my outfit for the day, including my brand new lip butter: 


A tiny update on my foot, I wrapped it and iced it last night, bought arch supports for my shoes, and I'm trying to stay off of it as much as possible for the next few days -- it feels better today, but it definitely needs some more time. I think I'm just going to have to cut my Gap loafers and Toms out of my closet, or at least not wear them to school/when I have to walk a ton, they're just too flat for my feetsies. 

I've also got a surprise for y'all! Our cake topper came in the mail yesterday!! I ordered them from an Etsy shop called Knottingwood. The owner was super sweet and very talented and got them to me waaaay earlier than I was expecting. I love them so much. Here's a couple of pictures..


UH-dorable, right?! I kind of wish I had asked for glasses on Curt, but..he won't be wearing them on our wedding day, so it's alright. The beagles are so stinking cute, and they even have their unique little spots on them. I'm not showing Curtis me though, I don't care if that little peg isn't really me, he can't even begin to know what my dress looks like (not that he would remember..) Anyway, though you ladies would appreciate them. Love love them. 

Happy Hump-Day!

  4. i wanted a pretty hair day too, but then i woke up and saw rain outside and decided and extra half hour of sleep sounded better than frizzy/flat curls.
