Current Crushes

lipstickI can’t get enough of the MAC retro matte lipsticks.  Seriously, they are making my life right now.  I have Flat Out Fabulous (fuschia), Dangerous (orange-red), All Fired Up (pink — on the left of the picture above), and Ruby Woo (red — on the right).

Also, (much to KC’s chagrin, I’m sure) I’m totally into the whole “messy hair” trend.  Mostly I love it because it means I don’t have to do my hair.  (I call it “homeless hair.”  So chic, right?)  Ah, marriage.

I’m currently living in my new boots — I have the BP Trolley boot in chocolate and the Steve Madden Troopa boot in stone leather.  Yes, I shop in the teen shoe section at Nordstrom on occasion.  Sometimes I just can’t deal with the attitudes on the first floor, y’know?

I’m obsessed with Gap’s super-thin, loose shirts right now.  I may or may not have this one in like 4 colors…

Speaking of which, given that I love to layer, I also have this slouchy cardigan in multiple colors (it’s super soft!)

When it’s cold enough (and really, even when it’s not), I love a knit circle scarf.  I have the blue combo, plus an almost-neon yellow/gray combo that isn’t on the website.

I finally tracked down the coat I’ve been crushing on in my size.  I love that it’s a pop of color for cold weather.

And my current wish list: I love the idea of a sweater coat, but don’t know that I can pull it off at my height (will I look like I’m just wearing a blanket?  I’m kind of ok with that).  I’m obsessing over this scarf in cream (I saw it at the BR in Hawaii, but given that it was 1000° outside, I couldn’t really justify buying it in the moment).  I’m on the hunt for an opaque, charcoal grey nail polish (but, ideally one that isn’t $19, Marc Jacobs) and some dark green jeans (not cords, Gap!), but I’ll likely lose interest before I ever find a good pair.  Y’know, life.

What are you living in these days?
