IFB Project 9: My Mary Poppins Bag

Have you ever seen Mary Poppins? Do you remember her magic carpet bag that could hold practically everything? I'm almost positive my bag is almost that bag [I said almost!] It is big enough to hold all my magazines and books and stuff, but never seems to get bigger . . . I love it =) The amazing thing is how much I can fit in here [Note: This is just an example. It would probably have a lot more junk in it. Tic-Tacs, tissues, receipts, etc.] So here we go . . .


I have absolutely no idea where this is from. I stole it out of my sister's closet one day and have been hooked ever since =) And if she is reading this, which I highly doubt . . . You weren't using it!


Instyle, Vogue, Seventeen, Teen Vogue, Target Wallet, The Great Gatsby, Breakfast at Tiffany's [hidden,] $0.50, the greatest pen you will ever own, Germ-X, and my day-time makeup bag.


My Day-Time Makeup . . . NYC Powder, ULTA eyeshadow, Out of Africa lotion [will explain awesomeness in a sec,] CoverGirl LashBlast mascara, Vaseline Cherry lip balm, ULTA nail polish in Diva, two hair clips, two oversized bobby pins. Now to the Out of Africa story. So we had just gotten a new store in town, and this was all during a very long obsession with Meryl Streep. I saw, I smelled, I bought right away. I love love love the Lemon Verbena body wash. Yum =)


Night-Time Makeup Bag Contents . . . ULTA eyeliner in Indigo, Physician's Formula Bronzer and Blush, Maybelline powder, ULTA shimmer powder, ULTA nail polish in Gentle Ginger, some random awesome smelling lip balm from Borders, Almay eyeshadow, NYC liquid liner, hair clip, bobby pins


And a lot of perfumes . . . 
And that is what I lug around all day =)

IFB Project 8: I Can't Take You Seriously Without Pants

I never can find the right way to describe my two best friends. They are polar opposites, Emi being . . . slightly slutty, but in a cool Taylor Momsen - The Pretty Reckless way. KP is very '90s, kinda Andy Sachs pre-Stanley Tucci transformation [Devil Wears Prada. Watch it. Now.] They remind me a lot of Angela and Rayanne from My So-Called Life, they even have their own Jordan Catalano, annoying as he may be. Emi would prefer to walk around in nothing but her bra and underwear, while KP would question her sanity and grab her a towel. Notice the title? This situation has happened . . . numerous times. So to give you a better idea of these to oh-so-wonderful people, here are pictures of their style icons [remember last Wednesday when I said I'd probably never appear on the blog? They wish to do the same. Sorry!] KP is to the right, Emi to the left . . . Strike that, reverse it =)
