Signature

After years a year of searching, I finally found my signature lip color.  A bright pink that adds a pop of fun to any outfit.

I don’t exactly know why I decided to start on a venture to find the perfect lip color, but I did.  I tried many different colors, but nothing truly suited me.  Then, I finally found my true lipstick love!

My roommie needed to get something from Harris Teeter and proceeded to drag me across the street with her.  While she ran around checking off her list, I started to entertain myself with makeup.  I noticed a sale on the Covergirl LipPerfection, and asked myself, why not?

I then proceeded to pick the most obnoxiously brightesr pinkish color, aka Spellbound, and checked out.  Back at the apartment, I put it on, and violà, I fell in lipstick love.

(‘Tis not the best quality….but trust me on the color….)

Now I can’t leave the house without putting on lipstick.  And I am constantly receiving compliments on the color choice.

But I need to invest a few other tubes for backup.  Ya know, one in the mailbox.  Another in my work locker.  And another for backup….

“If I walk outside without lipstick, I feel naked.”

Jackie O

While living in DC, I might as well pay homage to one of my favorite classic style icons:  Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

My first exposure to her iconic style occurred at a ripe young age of 13.  I was sporting some “larger-than-my-face” sunglasses when my father looked at me and asked:

“You got your Jackie O’s on?”

I looked at him with a “what are you talking about?” expression.  But then my father explained and basically introduced me to my first ever style icon (Yes, my own father who sports the same khakis and polos everyday bestowed fashion advice on me….).

LOOK!  She’s even sporting my other favorite fashion accessory:  a bicycle!
