New Purchases

Faux Leather Skirt

There are pros and cons to having a friend that works at Urban Outfitters. Pros they tell you about really cute, new merchandise. Cons you end up buying really cute merchandise and spending too much money. Well this weekend, I scored this high-waisted, pleated leather skirt for a grand total of $10! Clearance items are a beautiful thing! Stop by Urban Outfitters to check out their great Spring merchandise!

Fun With Dots

One of the greatest things about clothing and fashion is its ability to change your mood. Yesterday, I was having a terrible Monday. I stood in my room trying clothes on for what felt like hours, and nothing (and I mean nothing) seemed to look good. Then I spotted {no pun intended} my favorite polka dotted pants. These beauties are one of my best Goodwill find to date and can turn any bad day around! 

Stuffed Flank Steak

I'm not one that generally cooks. In fact, until recently, I pretty much lived off pasta and ramen {healthy diet I know}. I've been trying to expand my kitchen talents and decided to try this stuffed flank steak recipe! It was quite delicious {although I would cut back on the amount of spinach}. If I can manage to make this so can you! 

A Peek Inside My Makeup Bag

Seeing as I am a big supporter of the five minute face, my beauty routine is pretty simple. I strongly believe that you don't need to spend a great deal of money in order to have a photo ready face! The most expensive item on this list is my $29 foundation, but trust me, it lasts months, so its well worth the price!

Office Space: A Work In Progress

I've been rearranging my office around and adding some vintage pieces gifted to me by friends. The only item I paid for was the desk in this room (which is $20 at IKEA). It is a work in progress, but I like how it's going thus far! Not to mention, I have the most adorable office buddy! Wouldn't you agree?
