Spring Things

1 | I recently discovered Tigerlily on Revolve and Shopbop. The prints are so fun and color. I made a few purchases that are a bit out of my comfort zone... I'm awaiting the arrival of a bikini and a couple dresses.

2 | I've been searching for a new pair of sunglasses. I found the perfect pair at Henri Bendel, but they sold out too quickly! Now I'm deciding between a few different pairs... decisions, decisions.

3 |  My sisters and I found the best boyfriend jeans at Nordstrom Rack when I was back in Iowa. They didn't have my size, but Brie and Amanda both got them and love them. I think they were Joe's Jeans...

Weekend Update

We had the most amazing weather this weekend! Unfortunately, I had to work, but Brady and I crammed in as much time outside as possible. I'm so excited for summertime in Washington!

I had Friday off so I started the day with a run, which led me to a playground where I couldn't resist swinging on the swing set :) It was so much fun...
I'm into red sneakers if you couldn't tell
My pumped up tune
I ran errands during the afternoon and rediscovered Brothers & Sisters on Hulu. I am slightly obsessed with this show. I've seen every episode, but it still draws me in. Friday night, Brady and I rent The Gambler and order pizza.
Into this color combo at the moment
Our little grocery store is always tempting me...
...so are these Marc Jacobs bucket bags
Leaving the mall with one bag = success
Oops
After work on Saturday, Brady and I had a little picnic at Point Ruston. We walked along the Sound and enjoyed the sunset. 
Sitting in traffic is becoming a hobby
A great night for sailing apparently
I'm in love with this photo!
We went back to Point Ruston on Sunday for an evening stroll. Then one of us got a crazy idea to go running, which somehow turned into running the Stadium High School stairs...it was a killer.
Like Brady's headband? :)
Lilacs draped over the porch... these people know how to landscape
This just looks like a bad idea

Sephora Got Me Again

I shopped the Sephora VIB Sale three times. I had too much time in the mall while I was in Iowa and I just can't resist a 15% discount. I bought a few favorites and loaded up on some new products...
1 | REPLICA Beach Walk Perfume smells incredible! I actually had to repurchase this because I initially bought it online and had it sent to  my old address... it's either lost in the mail or someone in Iowa is smelling like a tropical vacation. 

2 | NARS Laguna Bronzer had to be repurchased. I'm nearly finished with my current compact, but it's lasted over a year. Definitely the best bronzer and worth every penny. I use it as bronzer and eyeshadow :)
3 | NARS Series Eyeliner (Night Clubbing) is a shimmery black eyeliner with real lasting power. Unfortunately, I only got to use it once. Then I accidentally sharpened it with my normal pencil sharpener and completely ruined it. 

4 | Tarte Gifted Mascara is another repurchase. I contemplated branching out and trying a new brand, but this is just too good. I want to try Diorshow Iconic Overcurl next, but I must keep a tube of Tarte Gifted at all times. 

5 | Ole Henriksen Sheer Transformation Moisturizer was a spontaneous addition to my online shopping bag. I was running low on moisturizer and I like the travel-friendliness of this little jar. Plus, it has some great reviews.
6 | Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray goes back and forth with L'Oreal Infallible Setting Spray as my favorite. I like the L'Oreal mist better, but I think the Urban Decay lasts a bit longer. 

7 | Anastasia Beverly Hills Tinted Brow Gel (Espresso) is the perfect shade! I've been using this everyday since I got it. I really like the effect of Maybelline Brow Drama, but I bought a shade that's too red. 

8 | Bumble & Bumble Pret-A-Powder is something I've been wanting to try for awhile. I couldn't buy my beloved Dryspun Finishing Spray and bring it back to WA in my carry-on, so this was my compromise.  So far I definitely prefer the finishing spray. 

9 | Alterna Bamboo Volume Shampoo & Conditioner were on sale so I thought I would give them a whirl. The reviews were great and I pretty much like any shampoo/conditioner geared towards volume.

Weekend Update

Brady was in Bend, OR with his dad and brothers so I spent the weekend with Brent and Molly :)

We went to the Mariner's game on Friday night. My first MLB game. I know nothing about baseball, but it was so much fun! I definitely want to go to another game.
My favorites
The weather was amazing on Saturday! I went for a long run/walk and snapped some photos of dreamy houses along the Sound.
Saturday OOTD
This is it! This is THE house
I went to Brent and Molly's for game night- we combined Telestrations (which I had never played before) with Cards Against Humanity. It was hilarious! I highly recommend this hybrid.
Saturday OOTN
When going to Brent and Molly's you bring gin
Things got interesting with this game
I spent Sunday painting my nails, catching up on Scandal, getting groceries, and cleaning the apartment. 
Walking to the grocery store is definitely a perk of "city living"
Just admiring my nails. I love OPI Cajun Shrimp
