Markers.

 

Shirt(underneath)//Crossroads ($4!!). Dress//Target. Sweater//H&M. Lip stain//Revlon JustBitten in Passion.

I have a new obsession. Lip stains. I got this one in my stocking and it hasn't left my purse since. When I was little, I always wondered what it would have felt like to use a marker as lipstick, since lipstick was banned from my lips until the sixth grade. It seems like it would have worked pretty well.  It's probably a good thing I didn't ever try it though because it probably would have turned my lips green or something.

Well now that I'm older I know what it feels like to use a marker on my lips! And it's the greatest! So it's not really a marker but I bet in a pinch it would suffice as one. What I am trying to say here is that it is fantastic. it feels cool to put on, it stays all day and is a wicked color. Go buy some. I'll certainly will be getting me self more. (That was intentional, yes).

Have scarf, be happy

If you've been reading my blog for a while, you know about me and silk scarves. Basically, we get along really well. They are  the butter to my Paula Deen. And you know the worst part? None of the thrift stores here sell silk scarves. I don't know what it is. Do people here just hold onto their scarves for ever and ever? Is there an unspoken silk scarf hoarding problem in the state of Utah? Whatever it is, I am facing withdrawls. So, if you find a fabulous scarf somewhere, you can send it to the address below.

Ha! Just kidding. Well, about the address below part...I'll still take your scarves.

Ps. This summer, I partook in a scarf exchange. I got a lovely scarf from my partner. And hers is still sitting on my desk. So if you happen to read this blog still and don't hate my guts, please shoot me an email so I can finally get it to you. (It's really cute!) shelby (dot) hintze (at) live (dot) com

Music....Thursday?

Sorry, I'm a little late. Also, I promise I listen to American music too...

What I Wore: Bows and Stuff

 

(the skirt looks kinda dirty here but Mom, I promise it is just the lighting)

 Sweater//hand-me-down from Katie. Sweater vest// AE from forever ago. Skirt//Urban Outfitters.Tights//Target? Shoes//Target.

 After I bought this skirt, Urban Outfitters clearance made my Greatest-Thing-Ever short list. I had been eyeing it (and an awesome lace dress that I bought at the same time) for awhile. However, $50 for a simple cotton skirt is just not in my price range. $20 though? That I can do.

Do you have any sweet clearance stories?

What I Wore: Study Date

 

Over MLK Day weekend, I had a date. Ok, well it was a study date  but a date none the less. So I decided to see what my hair would like curly. Sunday night, we braided it and then let the braids work their magic over night. Well, what turned out wasn't quite magic. Instead, I looked like Carrot Top's estranged sister. So, we rebraided and got it up into a pretty, almost Victorian looking 'do. These pictures were taken later in the day after it had started to fall out but you get the idea.

Now, about that date. So, he is really tall. Some would even say he is 5 stories tall. He is named after an important person in Mormon history. He is super smart and is an expert in lots of different areas, like Asian Studies, Family History and even Children's Literature. His name is the Harold B. Lee Library. We have been hanging out a lot so I'll let you know how it goes. Ring by Spring!!

What I Wore: Swoosh! Cecil! (Note: this post is in no way related to BYU Basketball)

 

Shirt (underneath)//Atlas Vintage. Sweater//Target. Pants//Nordstrom BP. Boots//Forever 21. Arm warmers//Target. Bag//Forever 21.

Guys. It got cold all of the sudden. What the heck. The last few days were so stinking warm! Like, 50 degrees warm (don't laugh at me, you SoCal readers. Yeah, that's right. I just called it SoCal.) Anyways, it's cold. But no snow. My one dream in life is for it to snow SO much that BYU cancels school and we get stuck in our apartment with all of our friends for a few days. Considering no one can remember the last time BYU actually cancelled an entire day of classes, I think I'll just keep on dreaming. 

On a related note, is it illegal to spray down all the major roads into campus with a hose at freezing temperatures? If so, how long would one go to jail...?

Cecil, calm down. I'm only kidding.

EDIT: Don't know who Cecil is? You're missing out! See {here} and {here}

What I Wore: Gene Kelly (Green)

 Shirt//Vintage Esprit (Mom's!). Sweater//H&M. Belt//Forever 21. Pants//Target.

Last year, I wanted all things mustard. Mustard sweaters, mustard skirts, mustard shoes, mustard bags, mustard mustard. Wait, what? I don't even like mustard mustard! Ketchup, mayo, ranch and BBQ sauce are my condiments of choice. Anyways, this year. I want everything kelly green. (see above list. except for kelly green mustard. gross). Lucky for me, my hunger is beginning to be fed. Read: these pants. (Thanks Santa!). Doubly lucky for me: kelly green and mustard look good together! Woot! 

Do you have any colors you're lusting after this season? (and I mean lust in the most appropriate way.)
