I’ve been fascinated with the whole wood crate trend in the past few months and pinned many-a-pins about unique ways to use them. But it wasn’t until I stumbled upon pics of them made into bookcases did I really start to feel my wheels turning. See, when I moved into my apartment about 15 years ago (I know, I thought I’d be in a house by now), I had to buy the basics, of course, and for some reason, I bought a small bookcase. It worked for a while but then one day while looking at it, I decided it was just too small for the wall as in, not tall enough (my ceilings are about 14 feet high and this bookcase was just over 5 feet). That revelation was about 2 years ago.
Finally when looking at these pictures of bookcases on Pinterest, I decided I wanted to build my own and I knew exactly what I wanted it to look like - it would take up a big part of the wall and not touch the floor; each box would be attached to the wall but still touch each other and look like, well, the finished product below!
So how did I get there? Click after the jump to see more in this picture-heavy post!
I think it’s more wintery around the country right now than when this Shimmer Glow The Winter Palette Collection came out from DOLCE & GABBANA last month. So I don’t feel so bad taking a few to get to it but I’m glad I did. As seen on the models in their winter runway finale, these Shimmer Lip Lipsticks and Shimmer Powder are for sure the standouts from the collection that just go with everything.
I kinda figured that once I smelled one or two CLEAN fragrances I’ve smelled them all but their new Air Eau de Parfum ($38/1oz, $69/2.14oz @ qvc.com) is changing my mind.
It’s described at a woody floral aldehydic* so it’s a heavier than their tranditional scents, yet clean with floral notes. And what a fitting scent for the season transition we are going into with spring right around the corner!
*aldehydic means luminous sparkling top notes that give the fragrance it’s body or opening fizz. Some of the Chanel frags are known for this as is one from JHAG.

I always say, if you have to moisturize your lips, do it with the shade! I mean, there are so many lip balm options these days that plain and dull ol’ balm with no pizzazz is not the only one.
Just out with their version is LATHER and their three shades of Tinted Lip Balm - Pink Peony (shimmery pink), Plush Plum, and Cinnabar Silk.
Since having Lasik eye surgery about 6 years ago, I thought, “that’s it. I’ll never have to wear glasses again!” And for someone who grew up pretty much blind without any correction, being able to see clearly before even getting out of bed was seriously something I only dreamed of.
Well hello aging and just one-of-those-things, my eyes have changed and I don’t see as well at night when driving and I for sure can notice the change if I’m watching a movie with subtitles.
So I reluctantly made an appointment to get my eyes checked last year and, yup, I’m back in glasses. Oh well. But I don’t need glasses to read yet and a lot of my friends now do, so I’m lucky in that department.
Maybe this Firmoo company heard that I was back to having to wear glasses because they contacted me last month to see if I wanted to try out a pair. Being someone who previously owned about seven different styles of frames BL (before Lasik), I said yes, for sure! I mean I need to build up my wardrobe again. And it really could not have been easier to pick out a style and order from this global optical online company. I’d never done it before so here’s how it works.
By now we’ve all been inundated with nude palettes and you probably own a couple of the popular palettes by now, right? Well I just can’t seem to get enough and part of me always feels like I’m missing out on a shade included in one. So of course BOBBI BROWN’s Bobbi’s Browns Eye Palette is going on my must-have list!
I admit I stop on QVC and HSN when channel surfing and quite a few times I’ve bought exactly what they’re talking about at that time. But this next one has to be a necessity for every woman out there!
It’s called QUICKCLASP and it sure is correctly named. What is does is acts as an extra hand when putting on a bracelet.
How many times have you wanted to put on one of your clasp bracelets and spent the next 10 minutes playing chase the closure?? With this, you will get in right every time.
This blush should for sure be filed under this category of too pretty to touch! The limited-edition Jardin de Chanel Blush Camélia Rose is part of the CHANEL Spring 2015 collection and is a duo of pinks to dust your cheeks with. So perrrty!
