Stila in the Light -- Quick Neutral Eye

Kitten (second from top left) on inner third of lid, Bubbly (first on bottom row) on outer two thirds. Mix of Bliss and Sunset (third and fourth on top row) on outer v and into the crease. Kitten and Bubbly smudged on lower lash line.

Such a simple but eye catching look because of the gorgeous shimmer in Stila’s Kitten. Deepen the outer v with the bronzy copper of Sunset to really makes light eyes pop!

Target Does it Again With Their Casual Wear...

Target is my go-to for everyday basics. I think I have about 7 of their long and lean tanks. And don’t get me started on their boat neck tops (so Jackie O). Now, there’s a new staple I’m loving...

The Merona Swingy 3/4 Sleeve Tee comes in a variety of solids and 2 stripes, and at $14.99, I say stock up! My personal fav is the black and white stripe...

Charm City Mrs. Moving Back to Charm City

It’s official!! Charm City Mr. and I are moving back to Charm City! A mere 4 weeks ago, he interviewed for a position as an Engineering Manager for a leading Aerospace company in the Baltimore area...and less than 24 hours later...they were presenting an offer. I am so immensely proud of him!

We are very thrilled, but it has progressed extremely quickly. So please excuse my absence. Today, I’m writing this as 4 very nice movers are packing away our lives into boxes. In less than 48 hours we will be on the road and closing the chapter on the Midwestern portion of our lives. I have been in West Lafayette, IN since coming to Purdue in 2005...the same for my husband in 2002.

Luckily, we still have friends and family in the area so we will be back a couple of times a year. But we are both very excited for what this new adventure will bring. And being closer to both of our immediate families (my in-laws live in Boston) is a huge bonus.

So stay tuned for new and exciting adventures for Charm City Mrs. in Charm City!

Stay beautiful!

xoxo
