30 Day J.Crew Challenge: Outfitted in the Wilderness

IMG_4142

This photo shoot was a bit of an adventure! Climbing up on that slick, rocky ledge and standing in the chilly, running water were not the easiest things to do in heels. Hey, a fashionista has to do, what a fashionista has to do for the perfect photo :)

NEW ITEM ALERT: BURGUNDY AND PINK COLOR BLOCK TEE.

If y’all could see my closet…y’all would see how much I absolutely adore purses. So, when I stumbled upon these artsy gems by Brighton….I immediately added them to my Birthday Wish list. Hey, two months is not too far in advance to start blowing out the candles wishing for fashionable birthday presents!

Looking for a new way to add some pizazz to my summer-to-fall transition makeup, I stopped by the Lancôme counter where MUA Melissa Atkinson made me look like I was ready to hit the runway at New York Fashion Week! I absolutely love the color combination on my eyes–the bright blue liquid eyeliner is a true wow-factor that isn’t too overpowering. Stop by the Lancôme counter at Belk The Summit in Birmingham, Alabama to get dolled up just like the VIP…or get the wonderful makeup artists to create you your own snazzy Fall 2013 makeup look!
