Review: Studio Gear Holiday Smokey Eye Palette

Hi everyone-

For the longest time, I've been trying to perfect the smokey eye. I normally use too dark of a color (aka black ) & wind up looking like a raccoon or I use too light of a color or I can't find colors that complement one another- the list goes on & on...

...Until now, the lovely people over at Studio Gear sent me their Holiday Smokey Eye Palette. This palette is complete with not only 4 eye shadows, but also a complimentary blush. It takes the guest work out of finding the right colors. As if this palette couldn't get any better, inside is a list of instructions on which colors to use & where to use them on your lids. You can't go wrong! Even better, the pigmentation of the shades is fantastic. The shadows & blush are true to color & stay put for a good amount of time. I'll post a pic of the swatches on Instagram, so make sure you follow me (@ShoesChampagne).

This palette would make an excellent gift for anyone on your holiday list, especially that friend or family member who is a beauty guru at heart. For a limited time, the palette is on sale for $25, so head over to Studio Gear to purchase it! If you miss the sale, don't worry, SG is offering all Shoes & Champagne readers a 10% discount with code SGHOLIDAY. The code does not expire & is good for 10% off  your entire order on www.studiogearcosmetics.com.

I know you'll love this palette just as much as me. Let me know if you purchase it & don't forget the discount code!

Wednesday Wish List: Jessica Simpson Booties

Hello readers-

A few weeks ago, I saw the most gorgeous pair of taupe booties. They were sitting on the shelf at TJ Maxx. They're Jessica Simpson, which if you've never owned a pair of JS shoes, they're all very comfortable! I've been lusting over a pair of taupe booties for quite some time now & I've yet to buy a pair. Unfortunately, the $60 price tag stopped me from biting the bullet.

Just last week, I went to a different TJ's hoping I'd find these booties. Sure enough this one had them too. Yet again, the $60 price stopped me. $60 is not a lot of money for a pair of shoes I'm sure I'd wear a lot; however, I don't need shoes. When I don't need anything, I try not to spend more than $30-$40 on a single item. I barely have anywhere to put the shoes I currently own, let alone another pair.

I think I'll have to buy these the next time I seen them simply because I canNOT stop thinking about them. I have already planned to pair them with certain items I currently own. Hopefully, I'll be able to find them.. & on sale!

OOTD: Plaid is Rad

Hi everyone-

As I'm writing this post, all I can think about is how I really need a photographer or a tripod. These pics were taken by my mom a few weeks ago when she was in town & she does not know how to work my camera. So I present to you these iPhone photos. Ehhh.

Anywho, I wore this outfit when my mom was in town. We dropped the dogs off at the groomer's, then headed straight to the mall. Normally I'm not a huge fan of shopping, but I know she'll buy me a few things when we're out. I had to take advantage. I'll show you what I got in another post this week.

As of late, I simply cannot get enough of plaid. Guess you can say I'm mad for plaid (LOL). It was a little chilly this day, so I knew to throw on my scarf & boots. I also knew I didn't want to lug around a heavy coat, so this faux fur leather jacket completed this look wonderfully.

It's pretty funny, my mom also snagged this shirt for herself, vowing to never wear it when/if I'm wearing mine. I suppose my fashion sense is rubbing off, maybe I can talk her into getting me more plaid. Are you big into wearing plaid?!

Outfit Details

Shirt, Jacket, Scarf: JCP (all on sale!)

Jeans: J Brand

Watch, Purse: Michael Kors

Boots: Tommy Hilfiger (on sale!)

Sunnies: Cole Haan via TJ Maxx

Thanks for reading!

Boho Cycle Studio

Hello,

It's F R I D A Y! I just wanted to let you all in on my newest obsession- Boho Cycle Studio. It's an indoor cycling studio that opened not too long ago in Richmond. Honestly, to say I'm obsessed is an understatement. I have never been into fitness classes before, but was intrigued by the idea of of a cycle-only studio. It's so New York to have a place like this here in Richmond- hello, SoulCycle.

The building is this awesome shade of blue that makes me happy just looking at it. The instructors & staff are nothing short of amazing. The atmosphere is also very fun & relaxing. The classes are an hour long & you get the best workout in that amount of time.The music is always upbeat. It's literally 'a party on a bike'. Although it isn't glamorous, but you will leave drenched in sweat, which is the indication of a great workout. At the end of each class, you can cool down with a lavender-scented, refridgerated towel.

I only have good things to say about Boho. If you live in Richmond or visiting, I highly recommend getting your spin on here. Visit the web site for class schedules & more info!

Happy Weekend!!

OOTD: Casual Friday

Hi everyone-

Friday has finally come! This has been one of the longest weeks- EVER! Though I can't complain, my week was filled with daily trips to Gold's & a cycle session at Boho Cycle Studio  (more on this later) with a friend. But I assume that all of my time spend alone has made this week drag on & on.

I wore this outfit last Friday for a day of running errands & relaxing. I can't think of the last time I wore anything other than skinny jeans. It was nice to pull out this bootcut pair & not have to worry about stuffing the legs into boots.

This outfit is also appropriate for casual Fridays at the office. It's somewhat conservative, but the scarf adds a little oomph. Would you wear this to work?

Outfit Details

Shirt & Boots: Target

Scarf: American Eagle (old)

Jeans: 7 for All Mankind

Purse & Watch: Michael Kors

Happy Weekend & thanks for reading!
