When Katie Met Mark.

I have been wanting to try Mark. makeup for quite sometime now, and when my friend became a representative it was obvious that I had to buy the products! After reading a TON of reviews many of the items sounded too good to be true. But, wow! Mark. makeup is now my go to brand. The products are ah-maaaazing! I already have lists of products to get on my next orders. For the quality of the products, it's fairly inexpensive, especially the brushes. These are all the items I've bought and I already want more.

Lash Splash Hook Up Waterproof Mascara: I don't think I'd use again as a waterproof mascara (not because it ran, but because it just wore off) but definitely for everyday.

Curl Goddess Curling Gel: Smells ah-mazing, srong at first but light and fresh when your hair dries and it gives me nice beach-y waves.

Glow Baby Glow Hook Up Lip Gloss: I bought this in Pink Rush and it's the perfect color and the gloss isn't too sticky!

Get in Line Hook Up Waterproof Liquid Liner: Loooooove it! Really easy to apply.

Face Xpert Foundation: So cute, it comes with a little sponge applicator!

Matte-nificient Compact Powder: I have oily skin and this kept my makeup looking "matte" all day with just one application!

Foundation Brush: SO soft and really makes a difference when putting on your foundation.

Primed for Perfection Primer: Makes your makeup look and stay fresh all day.

Get Bright Hook Up Highlighter: Use it to highlight your brow and cheekbones and brighten your eyes. It's amazing!

Some Pearls for Us Girls

Right now I am really obsessing over pearls. There are just a classy look that can glam up any outfit. I'm wearing them with my LBD for homecoming with a red nail. And I think a long strand that's knotted would be just too adorable with my new lace shirt from Old Navy...which I love as well!

Natural and Dyed Freshwater Cultured Pearl "Firecracker" Bracelet: Totally love it! The chunkiness gives it a more casual look.

Betsey Johnson - Betsey Paris French Dog Stretch Bracelet (Pearl): I adore the idea of pairing a very classy look with more edged out pieces to roughen it up.

Pearl Flower Cocktail Ring: I love big rings like this! Plus it's only nine bucks!

Pearl Crystal Cameo Brooch (silver tone): I'm really into brooches this season. I can totally picture pairing this with like a slouchy black hat.

Cara Accessories Netted Faux Pearl Necklace: Love that it's a double strand and a double bow!

Miso Jet Flower And Pearl Necklace: I totally love the mixing of the black and white, it gives an unexpected pop!

Rose Bow Pearl Stack: I love love love little ring sets! This one especially because it has roses, pearls, and bows. What more could a girl ask for?

What I'm Thinking

Okay, so, I just went to manage my blog and such, and noticed I only wrote three posts in August! Three!!! And I know how disappointed I get when my favorite blogs don't post often, so I am going to try to hold to my promise that I am making righttt.....aboutttttt......now: from this point on I will attempt to do a minimum of five posts a week. Which for me is quite ambitious seeing how I'm a total procrastinator. And to add to that, I'm also thinking about doing fashion/beauty videos on YouTube, but that's just an idea. But if I do, I might alternate videos and blog posts.

More Fall Goodies

Sooo, I went to go to the movies today, but right before the movie started the theater lost power! But on the upside I went "window shopping" instead. Old Navy has the cutest clothes this year, like it's their best season ever! But I picked out my top five, and I think I'm in love.

Cable Knit Boyfriend Cardigan: Perfect and exactly what I wanted! I can totally picture wearing it to the apple orchard.

Faux Fur Vest: These were a bit popular last year, but I'm seeing them a lot more now and I'm head over heels for them!

Sheer Lace Top: I am sooo obsessed with lace right now! This one isn't too fancy because it's a looser fit, which I love!

Zipper Pocket Tees: Absolutely love these! I want every single one!

Cropped Twill Moto Jacket: OMG!!!! It fits like a glove and is just too, too perfect!

A Few of my Favorite Things...

Fall is the best time of the year: holidays, cool weather, and of course the clothes. Driving through Connecticut this past week and already seeing the leaves changing has made me even more excited for fall. Sooo here is my style inspired by autumn.

Maybelline Drama Gel Eyeliner, Marvelous Things: Essie's Fall 2010 Collection, Owl Medallion Necklace, LC Lauren Conrad Pintuck Dress, Kirra Sweater, Antik Batik Dream Embellished Blazer,

Oliver Peoples Sheldrake D-frame acetate glasses, Deena & Oxxy Mini Hobo Bag

A couple of notes.....

I'm loving liquid liner lately, the nail polish colors are exacty what I've been searching for, owls are cute, LC Lauren Conrad clothes are very lovable, I like floral everything, I wish I could buy the sequin blazer, I have 20/20 vision but want geeky chic glasses, and I will be buying the hobo bag.

What I'm Obsessing: Back to School Shopping!

Well it's been a while, but I'm back! I can't believe it's already August, almost time for homework, daily babysitting, and of course, back to school shopping. Yep, it's the most wonderful time of the year, well the shopping at least. I have been making and editing and reediting my shopping list for the past 2 weeks. I finally narrowed it down to my top 10. My style this year is ranging between Aria Montgomery and Spencer Hastings from Pretty Little Liars: Sophisticated with simplicity and a bit of an edge. Structured pieces (blazers, bags, and shoes) with simple basics (Hanes V-Necks, boyfriend jeans, and slouchy sweaters.) Sooo with that said, here's my 2010 School Shopping List!

1. Military jacket from Old Navy:: Absolutely love it!!! Perfectly light for fall and the color is amazing.

2. Boyfriend Blazer from American Eagle:: Sooo tempted to buy it today, but I really need to save my money. It's $70, which is pretty good for all the looks possible with it.

3. Steve Madden Oxfords:: Terribly ah-dorable! Definitely worth the mini splurge.

4. Snow Leopard TOMS:: The most comfortable shoes without wearing slippers.

5. Poppy Perfume Spray:: Smells amazing! Not too heavy like you would expect, it's light and fruity and I love it!

6. Sperry Boat Shoes:: LOOOOOOVE THEM! Enough said.

7. Deena and Ozzy bag (Urban Outfitters):: Just sophisticated and fun enough for me. Something neutral to go with everything, but it's still edgy.

8. Uniqlo cardigan:: Found this big, comfy cardigan while looking at College Fashion and I must have it.

9. Cynthia Vincent for Target Sandles:: Well I already have them and they're comfortable and cute and I got them for 6 bucks!

10. Faux Leather Moto Jacket from Target:: Like the military jacket, it's great for fall. And it's faux leather so it's nice on your budget and the animals!

So there's my style! If you need me I'll be at the mall. ;)
