This shirt reminds me of that one episode of Seinfeld where Jerry Seinfeld is wearing this puffy shirt that he refers to as a "pirate shirt". Kramer and another woman start a clothing line and Jerry is going to model the puffy shirt because the pirate trend is going to the next big thing according to their style predictions. The episode is hilarious and every time I wear this shirt I think of it. This style had a huge comeback when Gucci reintroduced the puffy shirt, and many other clothing brands started to follow along.

I did some early cyber Monday shopping today. KKW Fragrances dropped at all Ulta stores nationwide today for a limited time. I have purchased one KKW Fragrance around Valentine's Day when KKW released her adorable V-day hearts perfumes. I loved the BFF one and went for it due to the scent of marshmallow and vanilla tones that were in it. The downside is that you can't smell the fragranced before you buy them, but the V-day collection was $35 and that doesn't really hurt. Luckily I love the fragrance and it is one of my staple scents. KKW Fragrances have released a Crystal collection and a Kimoji collection, but I could never decide which ones I wanted, and not being able to smell them to see if I liked them totally turned me away...until now! I headed down to my local Ulta and smelled to my little hearts desire! I decided that I must have the Crystal Gardenia scent, and I actually picked it up. I also have my heart set on the Kimoji peach scent. It was so fresh and fruity.

The KKW Crystal Gardenia scent hit a high note with me. I knew I just had to buy it right away because it reminded me of the scents I was around when I traveled to the Cote d'Azur in France.  Women there smell divine. Every woman I walked past had a lingering, beautiful scent. I couldn't pinpoint if it was a scent of jasmine, honeysuckle, or gardenia. When I smelled the KKW Crystal Gardenia, it smelled so similar to what I dreamed about in France, that I just had to have it. I'm going to douse myself in it and walk round like those gorgeous French women down the streets of Cannes.

How was your day? Did you buy anything during the cyber Monday sales? Or perhaps on Black Friday?

This weekend was an eventful one in Miami, Florida. Besides the Heat playing against the Lakers, the Miami Book Fair was in town! I was especially excited for this Book Fair because one of my favorite authors was going to be present! This author introduced me to the magical world that she had crested in her first book, and I had already put in my preorder on Amazon to get whisked away in Book 2.

The next thing that I purchased are two new lipglosses from the DOSE of Colors X iluvsarahii collections. These colors were exactly what I have been looking for, and consistently use in my makeup routine. I was due for a refill on my favorite nudes, since I'm running low, so these will be my replacements. I have recently discovered DOSE of Colors and I am loving the texture and feel of their glosses. When I first say these shades from this new collection, I knew I would add them to mine. The first shade is called "Barely There" and its a very pretty finish nude. It glides on smooth and gives off a great color payout. I don't even know if I will ever need to wear lipstick with this gloss. The second shade is called "Brillo" and it is the most gorgeous golden glittery gloss I've ever seen. I can't wait to use it as a topper to any shade of lipstick, It would make any lipstick shade pop and sparkle without feeling gritty and dry. Each lipgloss cost $17 at Ulta.com. I also have my eyes on some of the liquid lipsticks from this collection, but I feel as though I would need to see those and swatch them in person to decide. I have ever tried the DOSE of Colors liquid lipsticks before.


 

Steam has been an important part of my skincare routine ever since I discovered a steam room at my local LA Fitness gym. After my workout, I would rinse my face, apply a mask, and head into the steam room to get my skin dilated and ready for a nice deep pore cleansing afterwards. My favorite reason for steaming is that it's so relaxing. I mean...can we take a moment to look at how relaxed I look in this first photo? It makes me want to go steam my face again.
