BASIC DAY CASUAL

Fall is coming in slowly. Mornings are cool and gooey lately so forget about a good hair day.  While I dressed to run a multitude of errands, the heat has forced me to become more casual than I’d prefer.

My bag is large, but I need my things! I also notice that while friends often ask why I use such large bags, they are usually the same people who ask to borrow things from my survival bag.  I have enough electronics in there at any given time, that I could run the Pentagon from any Hotspot if needed.

   

The blazer and cold shoulder, long tailed top are new from Forever 21. The shoes are Jessica Simpson, and they are suede, which tells me that they are fall appropriate. 

 

bag Michael Kors, watch Movado, bracelet Tiffany & Co, ring David Yurman jacket and top Forever 21 , shoes Jessica Simpson

     On this morning, we chose to meet for a Mexican breakfast at a local dive we go to often, and then we parted ways to run the rest of our day.

 

There are exciting things going on, fall will get here eventually, pumpkin spice lattes are back at Starbucks. Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas will come soon enough. Embrace the time you have, it’s your number one most valuable commodity.

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.

CLASSIC LEVI’S DAY

levi1 levi1bw levi shoot 003 levi shoot 068levihug
     Today was a classic Levi’s kind of a day.  Today consisted of running errands together which included a quick meeting for business at a local Starbucks (any visit to a Starbucks by this man is completely rare…he does not require caffeine to operate as the rest of us do) then there were more errands followed by a quick lunch.
 

     One of my day’s challenges was getting him to stop long enough today to take a few shots for this Levi’s blog post!
 

     
     We actually laughed so hard and it was really fun when we stopped to snap pictures at a place I used to consider to be my own personal hidden swampy place.  However, when we got to my super secret swampy place, we found that it wasn’t a secret anymore. Tables, benches, an asphalt trail and bridge had been added, so it’s not a secret anymore! It is still an extremely secluded spot in the middle of our town. 
     I guess I feel strongly about the Levi Strauss & Company products because I feel that now more than ever, we need to support our American companies and jobs.  If you don’t support America, who will ?
 
     Levi Strauss is a worldwide company that’s been around since 1853 and its headquarters is in San Francisco, California.  Levi jeans are a classic…forever, sort of like animal print. Levi’s are for every age.
 
     It would not matter if I were wearing a $300 pair of jeans…my body is still my body, any pair of jeans isn’t going to magically transform me into a supermodel.
     He has on a black tuxedo styled shirt by Guess and his favorite Levi’s Authentic cut. (Skinny jeans on a guy freak me out!) My black short waist blazer is from Guess as well.
 
     Join in the fun and send in any hot shots you may have in your Levi’s!  I would love to post!
