MAC 'Speak Louder'

It's become a tradition that I get a MAC lipstick in my stocking every year for Christmas, and this year I got 'Speak Louder'! (Good job husband)

This is my first Cremesheen and I really like it. It's super moisturizing and comfortable to wear.

And the color is just gorgeous. It's a very natural pink, and it looks super pretty on.

I also like the name of this lipstick. Usually I think lipstick names are eye roll worthy, but this one's OK.
Speak louder.
It has a nice ring to it.

I think it makes a great everyday lipstick!

OOTD: Black and White

Hat-Target
Jacket-Gifted
Dress-Gifted
Tights-Sock Dreams

I think Black & White pictures are so beautiful. They're always my favorite, and I've never done a full outfit post in just black and white, but I think for these shots it works really well.

The cat tights really make this outfit special! They are my favorite find from Sock Dreams so far. If you're a crazy cat person, then these are the tights for you!

And I had been eyeing that hat for a while, finally giving in the last time I stopped in at Target. It's my perfect winter hat.

Home Haul

I received quite a few things for my home for Christmas this year, so I thought it was about time I did a home haul!

My mom got me all of this wonderful sunflower stuff! I especially love the sunflower clock! It's so pretty and so me! And the sunflower bowls are just adorable.

I have an obsession with mugs.
And The Wizard of Oz.
And Starbucks.

The jar cups are a new favorite! Love them!

Those little coke salt & pepper shakers are the cutest! And the camera picture holders were a perfect addition to my house.

I stumbled upon the Alice in Wonderland wall decor in Hobby Lobby and could not be happier about it!

Travel Diary: Flagstaff...Again!

I don't do a ton of traveling, but it's one of my most favorite things. Have I mentioned I'm going to Europe from February 25-March 10? :D

A few weeks ago we took a trip to Flagstaff, Arizona. It's about a three hour drive from where we live. I pretty much told my husband that I wanted to do a "special" winter OOTD in the snow and a LookBook. Also, there is a really old hotel in downtown Flagstaff that a bunch of famous people stayed in, and it's supposed to be haunted, and I really wanted to stay there!

I didn't snap any pics of the hotel or the room. Shame on me! But here's us in the room. I told Jason to do something funny so he slapped himself. Ha :)

One of my favorite places in Flagstaff is this organic coffee place that is conveniently right across the street from the hotel.

I didn't manage to take any pics of the hotel, but there seems to be an endless amount of coffee pictures. You can see what's important to me.

When we go to Flagstaff we always shop and shop and shop. There are so many cute little shops, and I bought presents for my mom and dad while there, and I may have picked up a little present for myself too. I just had to buy that yellow scarf!
