Recent pick-me-ups

It's been a challenging few months with all sorts of hiccups in both my professional and personal life. But these are a few things that have made me happy recently.



1) A girl can never have too many lipsticks and I can always rely on a new lipstick to cheer me up. I love the new packaging on the NARS Audacious lipstick and recently picked it up in Geraldine, an orangish-coral-y shade. Bonus, the cap snaps in by magnet!

2) These pumps were a total impulse purchase, but as soon as I tried them on, I knew I was doomed. They immediately made me feel awesome and put-together and all sorts of positive things. I couldn't leave without them.

3) I'm so excited about my monogrammed Petra bag, thanks to the kind folks at Everlane. The bag is the perfect mid-size (well, compared to all the other tiny bags I've been using recently), and I always like a bag I can wear crossbody.

4) My brows need a lot of help. With this gel, I can somewhat tame their unruly ways.



5) I could have jumped for joy when I finally found a pair of sunglasses that didn't slip off my face or rest on my cheeks. Having no nose bridge and super wide cheeks makes sunglass shopping more of a pain than fun, but this pair finally works for me.

6) Artifact Uprising sent me a little surprise in the mail and it was a print of one of my favorite iPhone images. I'm also honored to be part of their community of Photo Ambassadors.

7) Astier de Villatte x John Derian. Enough said.

8) I like to be prepared and almost always carry a pair of flats when I wear heels anywhere – now they don't have to take up as much space in my bag thanks to these fold-up flats, courtesy of Tieks.

  3. So sorry to hear about those challenges. I understand all too well. But you're so talented and amazing, I just know things will turn around. Just a few days ago, I picked up the NARS Audacious lipstick in Bette. It's such a gorgeous shade for fall. And now I'm lusting for those slingbacks!

  5. Fold up flats really are one of man's better inventions wouldn't you agree?

  8. Good luck, Alice! There are ups, and there are downs. But remember - everything is impermanent, and it will all pass. Sending you hugs!

  9. All of those things would make me happy too. Don't forget to have a phone chat with someone you love, though, and find a moment to be still and breathe in the air outside. Being outside can always make me remember how small I am in the grand scheme of things, and how everything truly does pass.

  10. I totally hear you on sunglasses falling off our noses or resting on our cheeks, I seriously love my Ray Ban folding wayfarer sunglasses! The non-folding version don't sit well, but for some reason the folding ones do. I have designer sunglasses that are gathering dust since I got the Ray Bans almost 1 1/2 years ago! Plus, THEY FOLD! :)

    Am seriously eyeing the Petra crossbody! I got the Market tote recently but have decided to let it go as I finally tracked down the Celine Cabas, but the crossbody hasn't left my mind since I first saw it! Eep!

    Have missed 'seeing you' and hope all is well Alice, wishing you all the best,
