Lucky Me

Thinking green in more ways than one this month. After all it is March and a pot of gold may be discovered at your footsteps (lucky you).

And by pot of gold, I mean winning the lottery which would be amazing if it were to happen any day now.  However, it's been a while since buying my last lottery ticket and whenever there is an insane amount of money to be won - I forget to play the numbers. It just isn't in my cards.

Doesn't mean I don't have those lucky "A-ha" moments. Plenty of those and the last one happened after typing longtallsally.com and hitting enter. Finally, clothes for those of us that fall on the taller side of the spectrum. I found this awesome striped dress on their site and basically had to have it.

Worn with sneaker wedges and my green moto jacket (a green cardigan can sub in) make the perfect but not overdramatic St. Patty's outfit. Or, any day for that matter.

Trust, it ain't easy finding dresses that don't turn into mini hoochie dresses when worn.

Another lucky moment was being introduced to Karelen's line of luscious oils and body butters. I carry their Aloe There oil in my purse and use it on my cuticles and ends of my hair when the air is rough (i.e. dry as hell).

If you're wondering why am I so obsessed with staying moisturized, the answer is Starbucks. All through high school, I gave up my afternoons and weekends to be burnt by hot coffee and use some heavy duty cleaning agents. Ughh, I get chills thinking about it. Anyways, hydration and nourishing your skin is key and carrying some sort of small moisturizer in your purse wont hurt :).

Moto Jacket: Joe Fresh (similar here)  Striped Dress: c/o Long Tall Sally  Purse: Tory Burch (similar style)  Sunglasses: Ray-Ban  Sneakers: Sketchers (similar)  Lipgloss: Buxom Full-On Lip Polish in Megan

Now I have one question, are you all tired of seeing me rock my green moto jacket? Haha, my instagram feed is basically me in this jacket so I totally understand if you're over it :).

The Essentials: March 2015

Treating my soul and body to luxurious bathroom staples.

Let's not forget the wish-listed classic such as the button down silk shirt (found it for half-price on eBay!!) and trench coat (except I'm eyeing this one for its paunchy color). Curly-headed friends take note of Diva Dryer towel, it is phenom and has cut my drying time in half - seriously a game-changer

All-in-all I've seen myself spending less on clothing but more on cleanses (great deals through groupon) and investing in soothing body butters from Karelen. Not a bad trade if you ask me.

Shop my wants below:

1. Life is Good Mug, 2. Mimi's Diva Dryer Towel, 3. Equipment Slim Signature Blouse (or via eBay), 4. NARS 413 BLKR Illuminator, 5. Elemis Frangipani Monoi Shower Cream, 6. Heartbeet Juicery Cleanse (via Gilt here), 7. Amope Pedi Perfect Electronic Foot File, 8. J. Crew Swing Trench Coat, 9.Map My Run App, 10. Nike Women's Air Max Thea, 11. Karelen Hand & Body Creme
