In & Out Post: Fall Addition

IN

1. Gray Nail Polish Colors

I am absolutely in love with Essie's Chinchilly polish from the Cuddle with Color Fall 2009 Collection. I know I'm a little late loving this shade, but it's absolutely divine. Gray is definitely the new nail neutral and can't keep myself from wanting to reapply! Good thing I don't have to very often; this Essie polish lasts for days without chipping!

2. Cyber Monday

This is my holy grail! Forget Black Friday - Cyber Monday is where it's at! No lines, no people, just me and my merchandise! Lots of places are promoting free shipping too! Use sites like CyberMonday.com and RetailMeNot.com to find the best deals.  And just in case you do have to wake up at an ungodly hour in order to claim your prize online, don't worry! No freezing temps, no smittens or scarves - just you and your computer -- preferably before your boss walks in the door!

3. Target Slippers that are $83.01cheaper that UGG Slippers but look just as good!

Both are extremely comfortable, both you can wear outdoors, both come in a multiple of colors, and both are super cute! But one you can buy 5 pairs of for $100 dollars!

I've been in love with these Target slippers for probably four winters now. I've had them in tan, brown, black, and even gray! I absolutely love them and I don't feel bad when I toss them at the end of the season. I don't think my UGG pair would get much mileage at all, I'd be afraid to muss them up!

OUT

1. Really Puffy-Really Long-Down Jackets

I've seen too many sensible women - fashionable women - sporting these hideous coats. I understand your desire to be warm. But honestly, these so ugly I cannot handle it. What does it matter if you're rockin' some Jimmy Choo heels or a great scarf? When you're rockin' this f'ugly garment it doesn't matter.I know you want to keep your bum all warm, but seriously at the sake of looking appalling please don't! I know that there are super chic long down jackets, but my feeling is unless you're a tall lanky lil ol' thing the lack of shape in the coat really just makes you look like a blob (let me tell you from my own experience!) - a toasty blob, but a blob. Stick with a cropped down jacket - same warmth, less embarrassment.

2. Bath & Body Products as Gifts

I know some of you may be shocked to see this on here, but I know a lot of you aren't. I love giving and receiving presents for the holidays, however I am just SO OVER bath and body gift baskets. Okay, sure maybe I'll use the body wash or the body lotion, but I'm not going to use the 500 other things that come in the basket. I usually don't totally enjoy super fragrant things and these baskets usually stink to high heaven! Now, I'm definitely not a grinch, but I can't even pawn these gifts off to friends. Who wants to smell like an apple cinnamon pumpkin strudel?  Not I! (I do love the loofas they come with though!

And that's it! My little list of all the Ins & Outs this Fall! These are fun to do, so if you liked reading this leave me a comment and I'll make sure to write these more often!

xo!

Quick In and Out Post

Thanks to Laura, lollipop26 on YouTube and her blog, I've decided to do a little In & Out Post.


-IN-

1. YSL Lipstick in summer shades. It's ridiculous how beautiful and vibrant they are. I stand in Sephora and gaze at their beauty. I only have one, because I cannot warrant spending that kind of money on a lipstick (well I probably could, but then I couldn't bring it home without some disappointing glares lol). I just adore it though. It's beautiful and lives in my refrigerator -- ha -- why in my refrigerator you might ask, well to keep it cold - duh! I'm afraid it's going to melt in my non air conditioned apartment during the day and I would just die...as Zoe says... JUST DIE! (rachel zoe, I'm referencing, please don't hate me! Ok you can a little bit...it's bananas!)

2. BeautyTicket.com is my latest find and I am totally taken with it. Up to 75% on big name brand make up and hair products! It's ridiculous not to absolutely freaking love that site!

3. A sun kissed tan -- faux or not. With a little color you need less make up, which means it takes less time to get ready in morning, which means less money you need to spend on make up! Well one should hope, but we all know that I can't not spend money on make up (reference the above "in"). However, a beautiful glow adds something to your look that you don't have in the winter months. You look more fresh, more alive, and it changes your entire face. I really love it! I've been basing a lot my tutorials on YouTube off the fact that I'm rockin' a killer tan!

-OUT-

1. Sweating. I love the Summer, but man o man I could use a break from the heat. I heard that New York City almost beat Florida with the record highs for this Summer! That is both absolutely crazy and obnoxious! I love the Summer, but not the sweaty dew everywhere haha!



2. Gas prices! I feel like all I ever do is fill up my gas tank and all I'm doing is mostly driving to and from work. My money goes to make up and gasoline... a little ridiculous! I also hate when I'm too lazy to fill up my tank before I go home after work and then forget in the morning to leave a little early to go get gas -- next thing you know I'm on the parkway and the orange light is staring at me - not fun!




3. Bad movies! I feel like recently the box office have been full of them! That Killers movie with Ashton Kutcher, unfortunately Sex and the City 2, and so many more. I heard Inception was really good, so I'm going to have to check that out. However, I'm kind of over that Ellen Page "Juno" girl. I feel like her and Michael Cera pretty much play the same character in every movie - am I right? Or am I right?

Until next time!
