un-perfect and I like it like that

Hey Guys!

Its been a little while… I hate not blogging for so long… and by so long I mean almost a week… haha… J and I have been taking it easy… watched the Godfather yesterday and loved it… it was cool watching how they used to “date” back then because our grandmothers used to have the same “problem”…having to date with their whole families watching or accompanying them- it was considered polite and respectful. We both laughed at that part and it totally reminded me of his grandmother, Portugal and all the stories she used to tell us (minus the whole mafia bit .. haha)

Well today consisted of an early morning, lots of fruit, toast and cream cheese, and coffee =) … we figured we would get an early start on the day and go downtown… I saw the most perfect wedding dress but a wee out of my budget :s… I am not willing to shell out 5,000 for a one-time-use dress! crazy in my opinion!

Ps I have been obsessed with this scarf lately because it totally reminds me of the late McQueen’s scarves… gives any plain white tee some punch/attitude…whatever you want to call it!

AND I have been doing a lot of purple smoky eye looks and love it against my brown eyes… using Urban Decay book of shadows volume two and Stila smudgepot (barbie edition) that I got on eBay… its so smooth…and is the perfect base to wear under eye shadow to make the colours pop!

That's an awesome McQueen knock-off, I'm trying to find a good one myself. I like the authentic ones but I'd much rather spend the xtra money on other stuff. You look incredible! xo
