skin milk: getting ready for saturday art show.

I like to spend my Saturdays waking up early with a fresh cup of English Breakfast Tea with honey & cream, and an arranged plate of pastries & sweets. It's quite a fav!

English Breakfast Tea.
Crumpet with boysenberry jam & clotted cream.
blueberry scones.
coffee crumb cake.

^ I hardly finish all the pastry goods, but I like having the option of a few on a plate & well, I often tend to pick at it as well. I spent the beautiful afternoon re-arranging my room a little bit & getting rid of clothes I do not need. I still have more work to do, my closet is an utter mess! Once I accomplish cleaning & moving my furniture around I will make sure to take photos to show you the outcome of my new room.

^ I was invited to a grand art gallery opening located in West Hollywood a couple months ago and the day finally arrived. I was thrilled to be invited to this specific event & prepared myself for a great time. It was also Mr. Boss' first art curating event he has ever hosted so I know it means a lot for many people to attend the event.

I decided to go for a soft look with my makeup & of course, to accentuate my eyes again.

^ I was so happy when I found my Revelon eyeshadow palette in moss in my pile of makeup I had put away in a box. I use these colours as part of my base to create a 'smoky' eyeshadow look. I photographed my Clinique foundation & Estee Lauder pressed matte finish for you to see. They are so light on my skin & feels like I am hardly wearing any face makeup at all.

For the event I put together a cute outfit I have been dying to wear. I just couldn't find the right time to display my outfit, and luckily this event was the perfect time to show it off.

Apt. 9 tunic shirt: $36.00 @ Kohl's.
Theory zipper leggings: $178.00 @ Nieman Marcus.

^ Here is a close up of the zipper that runs down the sides of the pants. I bought these during the Black Friday sale in Las Vegas after Thanksgiving. They were actually very tight on me when I purchased them, but now that I have lost some weight they fit perfectly. I finished my outfit with a pair of my Louboutin's & got ready for a little photo action with my photobooth.

^ If you know me, I hardly smile with my teeth showing. I never really liked my smile even though I have perfect straight teeth, but I was requested by a reader to take a photo with my teeth showing, so here you go!
