Obviously these were taken for what almost seems like eons ago because not it's a little too chilly for bare legs. A couple of posts ago I rambled on about only purchasing work clothes and Banana Republic is somewhere I frequent because its literally feet away from my work site at Rockefeller Plaza. I'm also devoting more of my lunch breaks in Ann Taylor and Anthropologie as well but mostly during sales and always only for workwear. What I have been trying at (and doing quite well I might add) is not buying lipstick makeup. I wanted to splurge on Sin and Midimauve but I ended up getting theBalm lipstick, in Amanda Kissmylips  (first time ordering from HauteLook) for only $6 which is a nine dollar difference from the Mac ones that I want and an eleven dollar discount from its original price.

I noticed that lining my lips with a pencil first will stretch my reapplication time. Also for some reason I always look for scents in lipsticks and this one smells chocolate-minty. The formula is a mix between sheer and matte which is something new to me because I normally gravitate to only matte lipsticks because the pigment is better and in my opinion if I am paying $20 for lipsticks I better be getting high pigment! Generally speaking, I will naturally gravitate towards anything matte, my skin is so oily and I never leave the house without SPF so I only ever appear even that much more oilier throughout the day. My dermatologist said oily skin is a gift and a curse because in your youth you're more prone to break outs but as you age you're less prone to fine lines and wrinkles, go figure!

The list of things on my to-do list is overwhelmingly annoying. Don’t get me wrong I love a good to-do list, as of late my favorites are “black/maroon fall pieces to buy” and “bags to invest in”. I know, not quite traditional but just as essential.

 To-do lists for me are a high and low and can range anywhere from “what I need ‘to-do’ is buy a Kelly green oversize sweater” to “what I don’t want to spend my money on, but I have to-do what I gotta do”. I know it may seem ridiculous to some but I’m sure there are girls out there just like me who fantasize about how they are going to take this fall by storm. Girls, who eloquently fold page corners in September issued magazines, I’m talking to you! My to-do list is not realistic, I’m aware; it’s 90% wish-list but it keeps me sane. You know what doesn't keep me sane? All the things I actually need.

There is no thrill in owing my GYN $35 for a follow-up that didn't even last fifteen minutes, seriously my GYN is a dude with tattooed eyeliner-I am so done with him…Not that tattooed eyeliner on dudes is unacceptable but when you’re charging me, full price at that, for eight minutes of your time?! Or how about that one time I thought that the best thing for Tiffany was natural looking fillings and now I’m $80 indebted to my dentist. I know it is not as absurd as Dr. Eyeliner but can I do something for myself for once without having to pay for it?

This has served as a wake-up call; I have to get my hypochondria under control.
