Huruma T-Shirts
/I don't wear very many t-shirts, but I will be ordering myself a Huruma t-shirt ASAP! The graphics on these shirts were designed by my friend Promise Tangeman and her friend Barton Damer. A good chunk of your purchase ($15.00 for t-shirts, $12.00 for prints) will be donated to the Huruma Orphanage in Kenya, Africa.
The design process of this graphic was incredible. Barton and Promise went back and forth four times adding their own style. Click here to read more about it.

M.A.C. Shadestick
/The M.A.C. shadestick is a product that I kick myself for not using sooner. I've always been a fan of M.A.C.'s eye products, but the shade stick is currently my number one must-have item in my makeup routine.
I usually hesitate when trying any makeup in the form of a stick because they almost always don't go on smoothly or they need to be sharpened regularly. The shade stick has an incredibly creamy texture and goes on without hardly any pressure. The stick comes in several colors and you can wear the creamy color by itself, but the true power of the product is when it's used as a base.
My shadow stays on ALL day and does not crease. It's AWESOME! I bought a light beige color called "beige-ing," and it works great with all of my shadows. Plus, a little shimmer from the shadestick comes through.
These sticks last a very long time, so it's a great investment of $16.50.
Back to Prep School
/I never went to a private school, but sometimes I wish I had because preppy, plaid skirts, polos and blazers are mandatory. It's almost back to school time for most people, so I made my preppy wish list. Sadly, prep school isn't in the future for me, so maybe I should think about moving to New England where this look is a bit more accepted and people won't think I'm dressing up like Hermoine Granger from Harry Potter.
Such a Stud
/Studded clothing is a big trend for fall in addition to all things Victorian, which is pretty fun considering they are on opposite sides of the spectrum. I've seen studs on shoes and bags mostly, but now we're seeing them on dresses, coats and hats! Check it out.
