Look! I made me a blog.

So, obviously this is my first blog. I guess I can give a little history. I am a self diagnosed shopaholic and recently took a pretty large leap to move up North from California to Washington state. This, unfortunately cut my shopping budget, even if I do work in retail. What is a girl left to do? Well, buy something less expensive that DVF wrap dresses and Ferragamo peep-toe pumps. I can't go wrong with make up!

I've been reading up on a lot of make up blogs to learn all the tips and tricks, so I thought nothing of starting my own blog. That is until I met the right piece that I just had to tell the world about.

I know everyone is already excited about the Guerlain Terra Azzurra Terracotta Collection that is just coming out in stores and available online at Nordstrom's. It's the one with the awesome Emilio Pucci print. Unfortunately it has not arrived where I work, but I did get a sneak peak when visiting the flagship Nordstrom in Seattle. I picked up the nail lacquer in Riviera ($22) for starters since I have the main pieces already presold at Neiman Marcus. It's so amazing I had to write a blog about it.

He're this little guy in all his glory.

This is a DVF sweater I have from resort '08 and as soon my mum saw the Terra Azzurra Terracotta collection her first thought was to match these two together. Good call, Mum. I also apologize for my lack of nail application skills. 

He're my wonderful mess, Star Trek Voyager (yup, I'm also a nerd), and another angle of how sapphire blue it comes out in the light. I can't wait until I can get my hands on the rest of the collection.
