Questions for me from Brittany Gary:

1. What´s your latest beauty/fashion purchase?
I recently made a few purchases that I loved so much, I decided to do giveaways with them. *Will be on the blog a little later* I don't want to give the surprises away by naming them specifically but they do include an amazing hair mask and a true European BB Cream.

2Are you saver or spender?
haha Well, it totally depends. I am a saver however, I don't mind spending a little more for something of better quality. Ultimately, it's an investment that will save me more in the future. I always look at where my money goes as an investment. If I don't find it to be an investment, I won't buy.

3. What´s your favorite Boutique?
Oh there are so many I adore. In my area, there's a small town that has the most adorable boutiques. They're quaint and carefully curated. For a store that everyone can visit because of their website, I adore The Vintage Contessa . She carefully curates all of her finds and ladies let me tell you: they're amazing finds! I happen to know that she travels the world to bring the very best in couture handbags. While you're there, make sure to check out her blog: Vintage Contessa Blog

4.  Name your celebrity crush.
Is it cliche to say Bradley Cooper? That man is so lovely to look at.

5.Describe your fashion Style.
I would describe my style as classic. I love a well fitting wardrobe. I'm a lover of all colors in my wardrobe. I'm not one to be too basic (tans, whites, navy). 

6. What are two things you like about yourself?
I love that I tell it like it is. I'm open and honest with everyone. You'll never question where you stand with me. Physically, I'm a fan of my eyes and smile.

7. What would be your dream job?
Besides what I am currently doing, I'd love to be a helicopter pilot. I've always wanted to take flying lessons.

8. What is the first thing to do on your bucket list?
Travel to France.

9. What is inside your purse?
Thank heavens I just cleaned my purse this weekend because I had so many random things in there. Now it's more streamlined.  I have inside of my Kate Spade handbag: My GRF Monogram waffle makeup bag (has the awesome giveaway BB Cream in it, a blush, mascara & lipstick.) My absolute favorite handcream of all time: Soap & Glory Handfood. OMG Ladies, get a bottle! The scent smells so clean and the formula is non-greasy. My BurtsBees lip balm in Honeysuckle & Pink Passion (not shown) and my favorite powder from Bobbi Brown. Last but not least, a little box of bobbi pins.


10. How did you get in to blogging?
I got started by reading all of our customers blogs. I really enjoyed seeing the way they style their outfits, all the best hauls and all the fun makeup blogs.

11. Name one of your Summer Plans.
I am hoping to take a train trip with my husband to visit his family in the NorthEast.
