Pick of the Day: The Dark of Night

MAC Lipstick in Cyber $14.50
Kat Von D True Romance Eye Shadow Palette in True Love $34.00




The Night is Darkening Around Me by Emily Bronte
The night is darkening round me,
The wild winds coldly blow ;
But a tyrant spell has bound me,
And I cannot, cannot go.

The giant trees are bending
Their bare boughs weighed with snow ;
The storm is fast descending,
And yet I cannot go.

Clouds beyond clouds above me,
Wastes beyond wastes below ;
But nothing drear can move me :
I will not, cannot go.


As the sun is beaming through my window my mood has swung to the darkness within. O.k., that's a bit morbid. I just got up on the wrong side of the bed today. Where does that saying even come from? Funny thing is, once I get up and start moving my moods lift up and I'm ready to conquer the day. Just not a morning person and never have been. The worst thing you can call me is a "sleepyhead", oh that makes me so mad.

The items above fit my mood just right. A little aggressive for day time wear if you wear it all together. The pieces can be lighten up with softer colors or even bright neons. I know my wardrobe starts out with the LBD and works outward. Some times you want a more versatile black ensemble and that's why I choose these pieces. They are standards that can enhance any closet, you can mix and match to your hearts desire.

  6. LoveofFashion22- No, I didn't buy these pieces. If I had the funds I totally would :)I've bought a Kat Von D lipstick in a purple and it looks so amazing at night especially with a plumy gloss over it.I noticed that MAC carries a similar shade that's just as pigmented. I've been wanting the e/s palette too. I've watched several videos & the colors look so pretty.I do already own a pair of black skinny pants, should I say 2 and several black pencil skirts (can't get enough) I <3 the tops (sigh). I totally have to slow down my clothes shopping.
    As far as time management goes- I wake up w/my Bf @ 4 in the morning. I have oodles of time to blog :)It helps if you have a format of what types of posts you want to feature on your blog and how often you want to put them up. Try to plan as much as you can ahead of time too. It's the last thing I think about before I go to bed. Hope this helps.

  7. oomph- I <3 MAC lipsticks, they wear well and are super pigmented. For some reason I love a plum lip. It's just a nice change from the corals and reds we normally see.

  8. FashBoulevard- I know right? They are so cute. I don't own a pair of ruffled heels. They would look so amazing with a simple dress. Reminds me of flamenco dancers.

  16. claire- Thanks again for tagging me. The tag looks like a lot of fun.
    I don't have many animal print tops. I like the cropped, over-sized style of the one above. Very tempting to own, especially with it being priced so low.
    Hope your having a great weekend and enjoying the mild weather we have here :)

  18. Karen- That lipstick is an amazing shade. What I like most is the rest of the makeup can be minimal. I haven't tried ordering any products through the MAC site yet. I would diffidently try that if I didn't have a counter near by.

  19. Francesca B.- I <3 MAC, only because of the high pigmentation in the lipsticks and e/s. Right now it's not in my budget. In the meantime I've been having fun trying out different drugstore brands.

  22. Love that lace top. Does it come in different colors?
    And have you tried the lipstick yet? I'd love to see how it looks on you.

  23. Hi Ashley Rae. I just clicked on the detail and sad to say that no, the top only comes in black. It would look just as pretty in a lighter color.

    I have a similar shade of lipstick to the one above. I'm planning on wearing it some time this week. It's diffidently something to be in the mood for.

    I hope that you having a great start to the week. Thanks for commenting, love the feedback :)
