tids + bits









+last weekend I had possibly the best thrifting luck I've had in a while...fun j crew pencil skirt in a sweet orange and white pattern and target nude pumps that are actually kinda comfy....been hunting for those for a while now!
 
+loving that I'm getting much better at throwing random ingredients in foil with a tolerable amount of seasoning, throwing it on the grill, and ending up with a delicious dinner that I dominated eating pretty much by myself (oops).
 
+my earring goodies from INpink...I'm liking them in the pictures, but just not sure how to style them...let's be honest, I pretty much wear my large pearl studs EVERY DAY, so stepping outside the box is tricky for me.  
 
+I'm trying to get over my lipstick phobia.  It's obviously the trendy thing for bloggers these days, and maybe just ladies in general.  But I struggle...I've always been a lip gloss/chapstick girl.  I WANT to embrace the lipstick trend, but it's difficult!  I get so nervous looking at all those colors in the drugstore.  Some of them look so pretty, but will they look that nice on my lips?  SHOULD they?  So I'm starting small with some fun colors from Revlon's new lip butter line, sugar frosting and peach parfait.  I got the courage from this girl.  Love the two I picked up with uber coupons.  Maybe I will muster up the strength to try a brighter color next?  Can't go TOO wrong with bright colors for summer, right?

+three cheers for hubby making me a cozy fire while it was raining and yucky outside and I was trying to finish my research paper in between coughing fits that make me gag.  That crackle and pop sounds really makes me happy :)
