Kim Kardashian Inspired Outfit - Maxi Dress

Hey dolls,
I thought I would do a new series of celebrity inspired outfits. If you don't already know, I'm a huge fan of the Kardashian sisters and I saw this picture of Kim Kardashian and was inspired.
 


 
Who said chunky girls shouldn't wear stripes?? I like to be adventurous with my clothing. If someone says one shouldn't wear a specific clothing item I always try to find a way to work it into my wardrobe and make sure it suits my body type.
 
 
I found this striped maxi dress at Lane Bryant. I love how the stripes go off in different directions and how the dress lays on my body, it's not too form fitting and it's made with a lightweight material so it's especially great with this warm weather we are having.

 
In one of the pictures Kim K. sported a pendant necklace and found this owl necklace in my collection and thought it bring character to my outfit :)

 
 
 
 I know Kim K. wore a black blazer in one of the pictures but I was going to a family bbq so I just threw on this jean jacket from Old Navy.

 
I love my Michael Kors watch. It always adds a bit of glitz and glam to my outfits. On my other hand is a charm bracelet that my hubby and mom gave me one year for my birthday :)

 
Lastly, I just threw on a pair of sandals I bought on clearance at Torrid. They are super comfortable and stylish.
 
Take care dolls,
xoxo

Mac Cometics Tropical Taboo Haul and Swatches

 
 
Hey dolls,
It's been a while since I've been excited about a Mac Cosmetics collection. I love Mac's mineral products and when I saw the Tropical Taboo collection was practically an all mineral line I knew I had to pick up a few items.
 
I LOVE the mineralized skin finishes (MSF's) and I try to collect ones that are unique and aren't like anything else I have in my collection. The eyeshadows are gorgeous when used wet. When you dampen your eyeshadow brush with fix + or any type of mixing medium and pick up some of the product and apply it to your lids the color payoff and shimmer to these shadows is amazing!!
 
If you want to see a dupes post on these items please leave a comment below and I post a dupes list with swatches!! :)
 
Of all the items I picked up I would definitely pick up the MSF's because they are pretty universal. You could use them as highlights, blushes, as an eyeshadow ect.
