6. Just Business

     These are our favorite shots of the month!  Click on any of them in order to link to the related site, however, the Just Business one above links to my Instagram Account! I was resistant to Instagram at first, always trying to be a rebel, but I actually find it great fun to see other people’s up to the minute post sniplets. As for me, it’s great because sometimes a picture doesn’t make it to the blog and it’s more Instagram-appropriate and immediate!

LITTLE BLACK DRESS (volume 1)

luxorlivingandstyle


     I love black and white photography.  I  love old school scenery. I really love saving money on a fabulous and timeless dress.  This post combines it all.

I found this dress at Forever 21, which is sort of funny, huh? It’s fit was perfect, it’s lined and I love the cut.

 

The pearl embellished neckline made it classic and the wide and short flare of the skirt makes it appear as if I have wider hips!

This is one of those buys you can wear for years to come, which is the best kind!

     It’s been a super busy day but we are taking the evening off to go enjoy the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo tonight! There surely will be another Texas girl post coming soon!

SIX SHOTS: JANUARY 2014

SIX SHOTS

January two thousand fourteen


1. GLASSESUSA

     I totally love my new glasses from GlassesUSA and I am so impressed with how easy it is to order them online!  They are a sponsor, and I love finding great deals and sharing them with you! ( Also, I can see now, so that’s a life changer!) Check out the blog post for the details!


2. BROWS-A-GO-GO

     I ventured out of my comfort zone and decided to try something I’d previously thought would only serve to complicate my life…a new brow system.  I think the palette from Benefit is a must have!


3. MY BEAUTY COUTURE

     Crystal Trevino is a Houston based freelance makeup artist, stylist and nail guru!  She had asked me to take some pictures for her new website, www.mybeautycouture.com and we both loved the way they came out so these pictures were a high point for me this month!


4. BIRTHDAY SECRET

     I’d never before consciously realized that I hadn’t advertised my age on my blog!  It was a liberating moment. I am every woman, every age, every size. I have compassion for the young, and often misguided and the old and often bitter! I hoped my age wouldn’t bother people, which was stupid, because it doesn’t bother me, and I have close friends of all ages and we are truely all the same in so many ways. (Except for you ladies that don’t groom your eyebrows…I don’t get you and we are nothing alike, that’s insane!)


5. COLDNESS

     It has been crazy cold this month for Texas, and there hasn’t been much time for cute fashion blogs.  This was a miserably cold and windy day, and I had to do Apartment Locating work. My husband came with me so he could nag about my driving in the passenger seat…I mean, spend time with me, so we shot a few pictures of me looking a lot like Francisco Scavullo  (google him) for the blogpost, Coldness.

     


6. FIRST DAY of THE NEW YEAR

     This is totally an Instagram picture I took on New Year’s evening at dinner.  I got to use my new glammy gold bag, we chat about our goals for the new year, and made it home safely. It was a great start to what I hope will be a great year!

ROCKIN MY GLASSES from GLASSESUSA

    • GlassesUSA 

      the smartest way to buy eyeglasses

           You just don’t realize how bad your distance vision has gotten, until you find yourself driving down the road with a passenger that can read the street signs about a mile before the signs come into focus for you!  Incidents like this will help to make you come to the realization, that your vision is inferior.

           In my case, my husband was already driving me insane, demanding that I go get an eye exam at the first of the year anyway, so when I got word from GlassesUSA that they wanted to sponsor me to try their products, I was extremely eager to go to their site, and check them out!

           I wasn’t sure how in the world a person would be able to easily and accurately order prescription eyeglasses online.

           First, I went to a local eye doctor to get my vision exam and I received my prescription for the glasses.  It was at that point, that they began to show me my eyeglass options…non of which included anything under the price of $300.

           The exam cost me $25 due to my insurance plan.  I left, with my prescription in hand, and went home to shop online at GlassesUSA.com  to seek out and buy glasses !

            The coolest thing about shopping for eyeglasses on their site, was their app that allows you to upload your face, and try on glasses virtually so there’s no guesswork in how they’re going to look on you when they arrive!  I took the photo above of my computer screen so you could see how cool it is!


           The glasses I chose (shown above) were delivered to me within less than 2 weeks, they fit perfectly and the pricing is so much lower than other places I’d seen!   They have designer glasses, and everything is easy to shop through and find.

           I will be wearing my glasses more than likely on many blogs to come! I honestly love them! Thanks, GlassesUSA!

            On top of the already low prices they offer, GlassesUSA is giving my readers an additional discount code of 10% off!

BA STAR COSMETICS

     

     I was totally thrilled to get my brand new BA STAR Eye shadow glitter set in the mail last week!

I’d wanted to try it with several different applicator types, before doing this post…to see which worked the best.

  I’d decided that the fluffy applicator blush from ELF was the best, after applying the tube of glue stick to the lid area.

  I’d also filled in areas with my BA STAR shadow palette from this post, for more highlighting and contouring.

     The bottom line is that you get a glittery and smooth lid effect with BA STAR!

GLAMOURPUSS COSMETICS TRAIN CASE

GLAMOURPUSS COSMETICS TRAIN CASE
cosmetics beauty organizer, ULTA, caboodle, Luxor Living and Style Blog
     Mostly, I have been banished to the guest bathroom to do my morning rituals.  This is probably for the best since I do not share the insane need that the other party has for all things to be perfect at all times…whether running late or not. Because of this, I mainly do my makeup in this bathroom.
 
  I was so excited to find an answer, though, to my issue of convenient cosmetics placement.

     I found this train case at Ulta and thought it was the answer!  I can leave it closed up on the small vanity area, and yet still hide everything, yet still be able to reach the main daily staples and tools I use!

     I love the way it opens up, and has a deep base, yet two sections on each side to help try and keep things in their place.
 
  I close it up every morning so he is happy that there are not random products all over the counter, so it’s one less issue to combat!  (Now for the drawers!)
