Olive with Leopard Shoes

I wore this dress to my Avon Awards dinner last night. I know this dress is owned by a ton of bloggers and I'm dressing mine up instead of down. I saw it first on Kendi of Kendi Everyday and ran to the store to get it. She has inspired a lot of my other Target purchases.
Dress - Target, Belt - Target, Necklace - Michael Kohrs viaMacys, Pumps - Nine West via Macy's
My Awards. I actually have a fourth one. Too heavy to carry them all. Avon takes care of all their representatives. An Award dinner every year, Free trips (Sandiego last year and missing out on the Alsaskan cruise this year), Bonus checks...what's not to love. I earned the awards for one of the top 3 in team building, total personal sales, personal sales growth and total team sales. I enjoy my Avon business so much and it's one of the reasons I started this blog to showcase the wonderful value priced products. Join my team will ya! (ref code is kemi), or learn more here

Fashion Blogger. Who me?

 Simply Sarah put this list together and I can relate with everyone of them. I guess I'm not alone in this. I actually still do not call myself a fashion blogger. I think there is more to being one apart from the list below, but for now I guess I'll pretend I'm one. Enjoy........

You Know You're a Fashion Blogger When:
- The words "chambray", "gingham", and "ikat" are regular words in your vocabulary 
- You know what color blocking means
- You love to shop, and in fact you literally get a high off of sales
- You use blogger's first names rather than referring to their blog name
- You've entered SO many giveaways; you never win, but hey you never know right?!
- You use blogger's first names and refer to them as if they've been your BFF forever
- You've sometimes wondered if it's vain to take pictures of yourself - and then not cared
- You've taken a picture, ran to the camera to see if you liked it, hated it and tried again
- You've mastered the art of "self-timer"
- Your phone is full of random pictures of yourself
- No matter what you're doing, even if you're camping, you wonder how you can take pictures
- You're constantly thinking about content for blog posts - you even write down ideas!
- You've gotten to know bloggers so well you feel like you've literally lived their life for a day
- One word: HTML
- You've pinned outfits on Pinterest to recreate, but rarely ever did
- You've wore outfit you just weren't into, so you skipped the day or wrote about something else
- You comment on blogs with <3 or XOXO, even though you've never met the people
- You feel closer to your blogger friends sometimes than your real friends
- At least one person in your life never knew they'd ever have to take so many pictures of you
- You've mastered at least one pose you use over and over (my one pose below)
- You look at your closet and go "I have nothing  to wear" yet you have more clothes than you need
- You know details about blogger's lives, but you don't know their last name.  And you're OK with it.
- You spend your time talking about clothes, fashion, and styling - and people actually care!
- You realize now that blogging is truly a full time career if done right
- Blogging was just supposed to start as a creative outlet, but it's turned into so much more
- You've ever wondered "hey could I do this for a career"?
- You've wasted more time on your computer blogging than you care to admit
....And one more addition from me
-Your kids keep asking you who those strangers are in the picture folder on your computer.
Do these apply to you too?

Sweet Clementine is Gorgeous.
Date:March 13, 2012
"The smell, slight flavor, pigmentation and overall wear of this gloss in Sweet Clementine is wonderful. I have used it a bunch since receiving it and I just love it. The color is a gorgeous peachy shade that actually does show up on the lips, and it lasts. Great creamy color. Will be trying Pleased Pink next."

Violet Beauty is my lavender lipgloss Holy Grail!!
Date:February 1, 2012
"Finally!!! I've been on a quest for a year or so to find the perfect lavender lipgloss that's opaque as well as glossy. Well, not only is it opaque and glossy-it does look like it's moisturizing your lips that much more!!! I don't even need a lipliner, and usually, I like a lipliner with a lipgloss. I've seen some positive write ups about the Sweet Clementine color, too, so I might try that next. Thank you Avon!!!!!!!"

Layered

I buy stuff on a whim sometimes without thinking about fit, function and versatility.  I was drawn to this top because of its polka dots. I bought a larger size to fit my chest area but it's so big in the waist area and  makes me look frumpy when worn a lone. Solution: Layer with a cardigan. Belting is another option but the top is empire waist.

Side Note: I need to take a crash course in photo editing. Help me somebody :(
