Outfit Of the Day 2/28/15 Navy Striped Vest

Hi everyone! I mostly wanted to share this for those out there like me who loves the high end look but also doesn't mind a good deal! I have been eyeing a JCrew navy striped vest for a while and have not seen it in person and is always sold out online! I'm sure you have seen it on pinterest and know exactly which one I'm talking about! Just in case, here is there Jcrew vest and here are some pictures that I have pinned of it here, here, and here. Well I have a look alike! This is not a knock off, it is by the brand British Khaki. I got mine at tjmaxx and tried but can't find a link for you guys =(

The vest was $29 as opposed to the price of the JCrew vest, $138. I have it paired with a very comfortable active wear shirt that I actually got at walmart (nothing special), Express mid rise skinny leg jean, and Steve Madden Intyce boots.


My jewelry are some random midi rings I got in a set from rue21 and a pink and gold flower ring with a pearl that came in an ebay "surprise" jewelry box (these are actually really fun to get!).

My necklace is from Origami Owl. They don't sell my mama plate anymore but have some really nice ones. I will link everything below. 

Watch is from Express.

Origami Owl:
Rose Gold Locket Face
Rose Gold Locket Base (Note when I got mine they weren't separate)
Large rose gold mama plate, not sold anymore
I have a gold S, not sold anymore, here's a silver one though
Pearl Charm
Crystal, I think it was called champagne when I got it though.

Loreal Infallible Smokissime Review

New to the Loreal Infallible line is the Smokissime! I am in absolute love! 
It says it is for a one step smokey eye. I couldn't really get it to work for that but if you are a fan of the smoked out liner, which I am, then you will love this just as much as I do! 
My usual routine for smoked liner is to apply black shadow with a smudge brush and it take probably a total of 10 minutes for moth eyes.
This took me less than 5 minutes for both eyes! 
The packaging is very interesting. It is a dense sponge, more like the ends of sponge smudge "brushes" less like the beauty blender sponge.  The product is in the cap so when you need more you just put the cap back on and it puts shadow back onto the sponge. 
I had absolutely no fallout! It is also nice and black as opposed to gray like you get with a lot of drugstore "black" shadows. This isn't ridiculously long wearing by any means but it lasts as long as the average day 8 ish hours. 
Overall nice addition to a simple everyday look!
I am loving this infallible -issime line that Loreal has going on here. The Silkissime liners are fantastic. Can't wait to see what they come out with next.
