And recently, a funny little hodgepodge of high and low ...
{purchases}
Cheap fix: L'oreal collagen mascara - Miss B recommended it and then I stumbled on it in the store not two days later, on sale for 50% off. Fate, obviously. It's pretty fantastic. My lashes are long, so I need something that makes them look thicker without being clumpy or spider-leggy. This works.
Serious indulgence: Catherine Weitzman gold coral reef bangle - I'm a bangle person, choosing them over almost any other form of jewelry even though the selection is often limited. I actually got this on sale for half off, but it's only available full price now. It's gold vermeil, so it isn't quite as bright as pure gold but I love it.
Justifiably useful: Ikea dishtowels - Total impulse purchase, just because I love Ikea textiles and dishtowels come in handy. These are nicer in person - this angle doesn't show much.
man. i need an ikea trip to feed my need BADLY. great dishtowels and lovely bangle.
ReplyDeleteI might have to check out that mascara. My lashes are long but sometimes I wish they were more full. Hmmm. :] Glad you posted this!
ReplyDeleteI adore the bangle! And the dishtowels are adorable.
ReplyDeleteHow do you like your Zenni sunglasses? I am thinking about ordering a pair or two of glasses from there. Do you feel they are good quality?
ReplyDeleteThanks!!!
I just picked up those dish towels. We're going to try to dip dye them any day now.
ReplyDeleteOops. I have those same tea towels and I love them! They're so cute!

ReplyDeleteD'oh. I was shopping for fullness mascara the other day, and purchased another drugstore brand on the advice of a make up artist. Yeah, its terrible. Total spider legs. (The one I'm referring to is the Maybelline XXL Pro Volume... don't buy that one).
ReplyDeleteWill have to try the L'oreal....
Looks pretty reasonable to me!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try that mascara, I have really long lashes too, and I'm aways on the look out for mascara that doesn't clump up.
I'm a bracelet person too - sooo cute!
ReplyDeleteI love that bracelet! And the Ikea towels. Not that I need more dishtowels...
ReplyDeleteooh that bracelet is darling...i love the little cut-outs that show just a hint of skin.
ReplyDeleteMay I recommend Nervous System for really cool organic shapes?

I have a couple of their necklaces, and I just love them!
@ Danielle - I'm really happy with my Zenni sunglasses. They aren't as enormous as I usually like (they are really just glasses with tinting, so they are much more normal size) but they're cute and comfortable and the prescription is perfect.
ReplyDelete@ Bridget - those nervous system pieces are great! Thanks for sharing, I'm bookmarking.
I'm glad you liked them! They were started by MIT alums, and they definitely appeal to the biologist in me :)
ReplyDeletegreat finds. the dishtowels are so cute, and at five dollars?
ReplyDeleteOh I like your finds! That bangle is lovely, yes indeed and I am jealous of your long lashes (now lush + long).
ReplyDeletexo,
Miss B.
Love these dishtowels! i bought two sets, and with some ring clips and a tension rod, turned 2 of them into my kitchen curtains! =)
ReplyDeletemade the same impulse IKEA purchase a month ago. I have a weakness for dish towels after all. Tis not my fault.
ReplyDeleteI miss coming here. I've been a slacking member of the blog community as of late.
that bangle is insanely gorgeous...i'm having a big bangle moment right now. it *might* even be exceeding my love for necklaces...maybe ;-)
ReplyDeleteI heart this lil' threesome of items.
