Finally open toe shoe weather :)

Wow, how gorgeous has this weekend in Seattle been? I finally wore summer clothes!! I know it won't last long, but enjoy while we still can :)

Here is my OOTD ( I changed into shorts later)

Top: Nordstrom (love this top!!)

Jeggings: Primark

Sandals: Steve Madden

this has to be one of my favorite summer tops :) 

bought these yesterday at Marshall's They're Steve Madden

Target sells similar ones in Kid's sizes if you fit in Kids sizes. I DO LOL

Target's sell for 19.95 and I went for the Steve Madden ones because 

a) one of my favorite brands

b) they were on sale for 22.00! Score

LOOK WHAT I FOUND!!! :)

I happened to walk into Claire's and they had two bottles of the hyped Candy shop.

I snatched one and it's really pretty.

2 coats

This is another Lippmann dupe. I'm ok with dupes, because I don't really want to spend $20.00 on a bottle of polish....My husband would think I lost my mind LOL

This one sells for $5.00 at Claire's and it's really pretty!!!!!

I'm usually not into pinks but this one is really cute!  It glitters in all colors :)

haha. I find this photo extra funny, because my dog Diego a Beagle somehow love Poodles LOL

His best bud at daycare is a Poodle also....haha

Closing this post with an awesome picture of my niece Giulana walking in her moms heels :-D

and she can TOTALLY walk in them, I am not kidding haha

love her!

Nite nite

I'm SICK of this weather....LITERALLY

I am hardly ever complaining about the weather here in Seattle. I grew up in Germany and I am used to crappy weather :-) BUT this weather is HORRIBLE! It has been raining ALL week. sigh. It's annoying, I want summer :-( or at least sunshine?! A=and to top it off, I am STILL sick. Can't get rid of it.
When will I wear these again? My absolute favorite Steve Madden shoes. I bought them before my Puerto Rico Trip in November. If the weather were nice in Seattle I'd wear them every day :-D

LOVE!!!

They are super high, but because of the wedge they're super comfy too :)

they sell them in black too. I was sooo close to buy them in black as well, but I didn't and now I can't find my size anymore :'( 

Sigh....summer???

I also painted my nails. SUPRISE!! :-)

 Sinful Colors - Mint Apple

Accent nails: Essence blue addicted...this color is absolutely stunning!

I hope the weather is better wherever you're at ;-)

Gute Nacht

MIA

Sorry for being MIA this whole week. I had to get a Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) done today and I've been dreading it the whole time. I had so much anxiety this whole week that I couldn't even function properly. I shouldn't have googled the procedure and what people said about it. I've expected the worse.
I got it done at the army hospital in Ft. Lewis. My hubby came with me. We were early and a female soldier was ahead of me. Oh my gosh, she scared the SHHHH out of me. She was in the X-ray room and I heard her cry. I was freaked out. When she came out she looked like a mess. He husband had to hold her and she looked like she just gave birth....I must admit I almost fainted :-/ Then they called me in, explained the whole procedure...Oh my gosh I was scared for nothing. Ok not really NOTHING, it was uncomfortable, but bearable. Really really crampy but it was over quick. I'm so relieved. We had the images right away and I am glad I will hopefully never ever have to do this again.
Since I still feel a little tired from my lack of sleep this whole week, I will only post some little things I bought. I also bought some STEVE MADDEN Booties for 75% off. Will post a photo tomorrow! What a deal.

bought China Glaze Luxe & Lush at Sally Beauty Supply (who knew they had a military discount??))

Sally Hansen HD in Laser was 75% off at Rite Aid. I paid 1 dollar =D Mostly all of their polish was 75% off!!!

P2 in Poetic

H&M Blue My mind (my favorite blue!)

and a coat of of Luxe & Lush (this is from the new Hunger Games collection)

and voila!!! Last weekend was my lucky weekend. I found Whimsical!! yay finally!

I absolutely love it!!!

1 coat over Nubar Faded Jeans

Have you bought anything nice?? Stay tuned for my Steve Madden shoes :-)


Happy Friday!

Has it been a year yet????

Wow, I cannot believe it has been almost 1 year since my last post. There are two reasons why I decided to restart blogging: 1. I got a new Laptop =D bought a Mac Book Pro on Black Friday and 2. I am still getting comments from lots of lovely ladies here asking me to come back. So here I go :)
Anyway, this first post will be a little BLAH. I have no clue how to edit pictures on the Mac book LOL What's a good program I can use on here?? Any suggestions?
I have made some GREAT purchases lately. Here is a little something something :)

My new favorite dress that I bought at H&M about 2 weeks ago or so. 18 Dollars!!!! Can you believe it? Gotta love H&M :)

The last 2 pictures where taken in Puerto Rico last weekend :)

One shoulder dress bought yesterday at Love Coulture. Cute :)

My new Steve Madden purse I got on Black Friday at Nordstrom in Downtown Seattle. Oh and my lovely Diego who thinks he is a person LOL

I have a new obsession with nail polish :) My nail polish box is overflowing :-D But there are sooo many pretty colors out. And how cool is the crackle nail polish? That stuff is amazing. Here are some of my nails:

OPI Black Shatter over Wet and Wild Silvivor

Wet and Wild Hannah Pinktana over OPI What's a tire jack

Wet and Wild Teal or no Teal with Top Coat Essie Matte over you

Avon Matte nail polish in Black (color is great but lasts only a day, if at all :( )

OPI What's a tire Jack. Ringfinger: Wet and Wild Party of Five Glitter

That's it for now. Promise I will be on here more often!

Happy 1. Advent :)

I'm back and I brought shoes with me!

I know, I have been neglecting my blog =( I've been really really busy. We went on a cruise and it was amazing!! I will tell u a bit about it later and also post some pictures.
I got a new job =) I will start Monday, I'll work as a business correspondent and translator for a company here in Seattle. The Pay is good and I'm excited I get to use some of the languages I speak. Diego, our Beagle will fly back to Seattle on Monday as well. I'm excited to see him again, I've missed him so much and I hope his flight goes well. My husband went back to work today and I've been freaking out a little because he just got orders to go to Drill Sergeant school by the end of next year. That would mean we would either have to move to South Carolina or Georgia. And I'm freaking out because I don't really wanna move there =( Ugh I hate the army sometimes...as a military wife you kinda have to sacrifice your own career for your husbands. Don't get me wrong, I'm really happy about my husband being so succesful in the army BUT I'm not that kinda army wife that likes to stay at home all day...I didnt go to college to stay at home and I dont want a dead end job. I'm just frustrated but my husband promised me to figure something out.
In the meantime I'll just buy shoes LOL
I bought 2 pairs the other day =)
I bought this gorgeous nude colored Steve Madden peeptoe. Got it at Nordstrom for 50% off =) Do I ever pay full price for shoes?? Probably not lol

Then I went to Ross and they rarely have shoes in my size (remember I'm a 5-5.5) and guess what caught my eye? These awsome leopard print Calvin Klein heels!! You know I'm a sucker for leopard print. Best thing, 75 % off? Hello gorgeous!! =D

So, I was looking for e.l.f. cosmetic here in my area to try it out, but I can't find any store that sells it. Went to the grocery outlet the other day, yes grocery outlet and thats where I found the e.l.f. beauty book for 3 dollars. I know they sell for 5, so I bought 2 =) I have not tried them out yet, but I will soon and report =)
I got the smokey eye edition

and the eye brights edition

This is my OOTD that I wore to the mall =)

Shirt - Tally Weijl

Cardigan - Nordstrom

Jeans - Tally Weijl

Heels - Steve Madden

Tan - Caribbean =D

I will try to post some pics from our cruise later, I went swimming with dolphins and you HAVE to see this!!

Later,
