let's talk about eyes

Eyeshadows (left to right, top to bottom): 1. bareMinerals Eyecolor; 2 & 3. Urban Decay Eyeshadow; 4-9. Sephora Colorful Mono Eyeshadow; 10. Stila Eyeshadow; 11. Laura Mercier Eye Colour; 12-15. Bobbi Brown Eyeshadow; 16. Lorac Eyeshadow; Eyeshadow brush: Chanel Large Eyeshadow Brush #25; Highlighter: Smashbox Eye Beam Double-Ended Brightener; Mascara: Diorshow Mascara

Now, to warn you, I do not wear all of these colours at once; that would be horrible (although, they do seem to go together, but still). And I don't have all sixteen shades in my makeup bag because it would simply be too hectic trying to find what I want in the morning (I usually have four to five, sometimes six). So to say, whenever I run out of a shade, I treat myself to another one. Basically, this is my day to day eye makeup and I love every single one of these items, especially the brush - can't forget the brush. Anyways, I mix two shades together and when I feel adventurous, I'll mix three (I know, I'm a dare devil).  Oh, and can't you tell I love neutral/light tones? I think we can safely say that I'm obsessed...

lemon ricotta pancakes

To set the record straight, I am not someone who copies what other people do - or post, in this case - but I couldn't pass up the opportunity. And I wouldn't call it copying, just spreading around the deliciousness that are these Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. The recipe was posted a while back (try 2010) by one of my favorite bloggers, Emily from Cupcakes and Cashmere. I can't believe I waited this long to blog about them! Okay, okay, to be fair, I didn't have a blog back then... You can whip up these amazing pancakes by following this recipe!

To be honest, I've never owned a pair of coloured jeans. The closest I've ever had were beige, but that doesn't count... Anyways, I picked these up today at Gap and can't help but admire their perfection; they are the perfect length, colour, style and fit for my first pair of coloured jeans. And might I add that I got them 30% off... I cannot wait to find creative ways to incorporate these lovelies into my daily wardrobe. Maybe a green belt would be nice with them... Who knows?
