February Obsessions!!!!



This post should have been up days ago....I am such a slacker sometimes...anyway February was a month of quite a few repeat favorites (however I refuse to include them on this post because I have already talked about them previously).  So on to my favorites....

1) Orange H&M Jeans $19.99 - Oh yes I love the orange..I pretty much decided this is my color for 2012.  can pair these with a jean button up shirt and a pair of leopard heels and be off to go.

2) Sephora Sculpting Disk $24.99 - I got this a little before Valentine's Day (see my actual review in that post) and I have not been able to put this down since.

3) Forever 21 Jean Moto Vest $24 - LOVE this! I actual wore this to the Friday Philly Fashion Week show this vest can "rock" out any look.

4) Jessica Simpson Fancy - an oldie but goodie I got this scent the Christmas before last and picked up so many since then I felt like I was abandoning this one however last must it was pretty much my go to and now it's almost gone.

5) Catching Fire (second book to the Hunger Games Trilogy) - This pretty much speaks for itself, hands down a great book but I will say you pretty much have to have the third book at your finger tips or else you won't be happy when you finish it.

6) OPI  "I Don't Give a Rotterdam!" - This color is so calm and cool it's from the Spring 2012 Holland Collection.

7) Benefit High Beam - I also covered this is my mini Sephora haul so you have to check that post out for more deets...however it just kept my face glowing so I couldn't put it down.

8) Gold Headband (Forever 21) - This really came in handy when I was prepping my hair for my Senegalese twists (which I currently have) I used this to give my buns a tad bit more flavor.
 
9) Black beaded necklace (Forever 21) this was like my "go-to" accessory last month.

and that pretty much sums it up...

random...I still can't stop listen to the Rhi Rhi album...hopefully this motivates you all to enter the giveaway contest :)

January Obsessions!!!

 It's that time again!!! Time to recap the item I just couldn't put down last month! Most of these items were Christmas gifts that I seriously put to use... So to get right into things...

1) Black military style boots - I got these from Bakers on sale for like $30 I wore these way more than I should have last month in fact I have them on today.

2) Viva La Juicy - Juicy Couture perfume, this smells amazing I can't even describe it came in a set of three and was a gift so I have no idea what it cost...sorry.

3) OPI Cuticle Oil - this too was a gift but the gift giver must have read my mind because I truly needed this! I gives me a "shop finish" look to my nails I would say this is a must have for anyone that paints their own nails. You can purchase this at Beauty Brands.

4) OPI polish - color is Mermaid Tears.  This is from the Pirates of the Caribbean collection that was released last summer and has always been a favorite of mines and I couldn't put it down last month.  I got this from JcPenney as you all may or may not know they sell OPI polish buy one get on 50%

5) Blistex - Yeah I know this is random but shoot it has been super cold up here in Philly and my lips were taking a beating from the wind so this was one of my go-to products.  You can snatch this up from any Walgreens, CVS, etc.

6) Betsey Johnson "house-booties" - I got these for Christmas and at first I was thinking who gets me name brand house slippers (I just wanted any random pair) but these are GREAT they are comfy and warm and I am pretty sure these came from Macy's if anyone wants to warm their feet in style.

7)  Rusted Gold Leaf earrings ($5)- Now technically I didn't get these earrings until the last two weeks of the month but I wasn't able to put them down.  I picked these up from Pink Elephant (a jewelry store based out of Philly) however they have a website!!! (http://www.pnkelephant.com/)

8) Tan Express "Moto" jacket - Yes Moto style bomber's are it this year and this was also a gift so I don't know the price of it and it was not on the Express website but I am sure you can pick one up from stores like BeBe or one similar from Express.

That pretty much sums up my Obsessions for the month of January!

December Obsessions!!!


Starting this month I decided I would share/recap the items/products I used/wore the most the month before. I will be doing this at the beginning of each month.  In December I was in love with a bunch of well random items...some new some old however I just could not put them down.  I posted a picture above so you could visualize the items I am referring to.

My December Obsessions:


1) Urban Decay Cosmetics All Nighter Long Lasting Makeup Setting Spray - The large bottle pictured costs about $29 and the smaller bottle (the one I have) cost $11 both can be purchased from Sephora. What can I say this stuff is A-Mazing! It helps your makeup stay on forever.  Even if you don't want to invest $11-29 on a finishing spray if you wear makeup I highly recommend investing in this product. 

2) "Shatto" legwear (color midnight black)-  What can I say wearing these (and other tights/hosiery) has become a staple part of winter ensembles.  These can be purchased from Aldo for about $12.


3) Leopard Print Scarf - I purchased this from H&M early in the month this past December.  I have worn it as a turban and as a scarf of course.  This scarf cost about $7-10 sorry I can't remember exactly and it's not posted on their website.


4) Beautiful Curls Shea Butter & Coconut Hydrating Oil - I stumbled upon this oil during my weekly trip to Whole Foods (I LOVE Whole Foods) and it works wonders it leaves my hair feeling moisturized without weighing it down and it smells good.  I purchased this from Whole Foods for $8.99 but I know you can buy it online at the Beautiful Curls website as well.

5) Ugg Women's Edmonton Boots - I know these were on my Christmas wish list and Christmas came early because I wasn't able to put these boots down I love them the are water resistant, warm, and very comfortable.  You can purchase these boots online from the UGG Australia website for about $350 or at any authorized UGG retailer. 


6) Revlon ColorBurst Lip Stick (color is Peach) - This lipstick is one of my favorite beauty products right now.  I thought it worked well for the holiday season.  This product can be purchased from your local drug store or Walmart and typically retails for about  $7-8 however CVS always has some kind of sale going on so you can probably find it for cheaper.

7) Red Blazer - Now it wouldn't be December without a little red...I purchased this blazer from Forever 21 for $21 at the time it was one of the yellow tag deals.

8) Aqua di Goia - This perfume is by Giorgio Armani and smells amazing.  Honestly I can't take credit for discovering this scent on my own if it wasn't for a close friend of mines I probably would not have ventured out to smell it less lone own it.

9) OPI Nail Polish (color Meep Meep Meep)- This color is from the Muppet Babies Collection (Fall/Winter 2011) and I loved it last month.  I thought this was a great color for the holiday season.  I purchased this from Jcpenney's (FYI all Jcpenney's sale OPI nail polish buy 1 get 1 50% off)

That pretty much wraps it up for my December obsessions.  Care to share any items you were obsessed with last month?
