What I Wore: Mozambique

Recently I traveled to Mozambique for a friend's wedding. I was truly honored to be her matron-of-honor. I thought it might be appropriate to post a few outfits I wore during my time there. I realize some of these photos aren't the greatest, but they serve the purpose of showcasing a few of my outfits. My go-tos were long skirts and dresses. Everyday the weather the most perfect you could imagine it to be- warm (no humidity), breezy and not a cloud in sight.

P.S. I'm hoping to start posting on a regular basis again. And I've got some great DIYs in mind as well!

Saturday night
Relaxing night at home with family and friends, playing games, eating Chinese takeout and Mudd Valley ice cream with fresh peaches, blueberries and blackberries. Doesn't get any better then this!

Sephora purchases!

Why is the sight of this box on the front porch such a thrill?
Maybe in part because their freebies are the best ever!

Is this not the cutest free sample ever? The scent is Lady Million by Paco Rabanne. Not too bad!

All my free stuff!
Smashbox Photo Finish Targeted Pore & Line Primer, Lancome Paris Pro Perfecting Makeup Primer, Clarins Instant Smooth Self Tanning,  the afore-mentioned fragrance, Lady Million by Paco Rabanne, Sephora Perfecting tinted moisturizer, Sephora Advance Lash Booster mascara, Sephora Atomic Volume mascara, Sephora eyeshadows in shimmering pool & peach beige. 

This is the actual order. My usual green primer from Smashbox,  Sephora highlighter & Sephora brown/black retractable eyeliner. I'm trying 2 new moisturizers this time. Hope in a Jar by Philosophy (if this does not work I may have to resort to  Philosophy's newest moisturizer, "When Hope is not Enough" LOL for real!) and Instant moisturizer with hydro-senn (whatever that is) by Sephora. I'll let you know how those work out.  :) 

Laura - 30/30 Recap

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 
 
 
 

 

I was inspired to clean out and semi-organize my closet after the 30/30.

I also learned to "shop" my closet and combine clothes in different ways. I laid out different outfits and  took pictures of all my "new" outfits so that I can look at these pics for inspiration on ho-hum mornings when I can't think of what to wear.

I was glad when it was over, but I'm glad we did it and want to do it again at some point. (Maybe winter)
