Big Old Bonanza

Since next week is Thanksgiving, there has been a flurry of activity here at the hospital. Not only do many of us have lots of time off scheduled (yay me!!), but all committees and meetings are dark in December. So I haven't been able to visit with my virtual buddies for a few days. So you get three outfits and two makeup boxes to see. Let's start with Wednesday:


 
I wore one of my ultra comfy Antthony Designs pants sets. This time, the red, black, and white number. I wore a black belt with silver studs and black and white Guess Mary Jane shoes.


I went with my silver braided necklace.




On my right arm, my Coleen Lopez garnet ring that I bought myself for my birthday last year, and a leather/crystal cuff that I got as one of my Baltimore souvenirs.




On my right arm, two silver bracelets, a ruby band, and a round solitaire set in white gold.


When I got home, my November Ipsy bag was waiting. The theme was RockStarlet.


Five products inside - a Doucce Freematic Blush in Orange, some Tarte oil for hair, skin and nails, and a Skin and Company Truffle Therapy Eye Contour Concentrate.

Also, a Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara, and a Model Co Contour stick. i have heard great things about the mascara, and I will be using it next.


Then, we move to Thursday. Yesterday, we had another Statewide Disaster Exercise, where there were 1,000 pediatric casualties from a bus vs train accident. We had to practice moving them through our hospital and getting them the services they would need in terms of medical treatment, reunification with families, and unfortunately, post mortem services. We always learn A LOT from these pretend situations. This is what I wore:



This is actually a shark bite T shirt over a sleeveless shift dress. The T shirt has an animal print in gold foil on it, and the dress is vertically striped in ombre olive tones. I wore a thin leopard calf hair belt. The shoes are from Nordstrom, and they are Michael Antonio. The T shirt is Byer, and the dress, sadly, has a label that says Tuna.

On top, I wore an olive pleather jacket and bronze leather gloves. I forgot to take pictures of my jewelry.

Last night, my Birchbox came:







Here's what I got, from top to bottom:
1) Oribe Superfine Hairspray - love this brand
2) Bobbi Brown Smokey Eye Mascara
3) Balance Me Tinted Wonder Eye Cream
4) Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser's Oil - good for my super curly, frizzy hair.
5) Coastal scents Blush and Highlighter Duo

Overall, I love everything that I got this month. I think it really pays to go online and select the samples that you want in your boxes. Sometimes I forget to do that - boo.

Onto today - it's our first really  chilly day here in SoCal - the high will only reach 70 - the horror!!!!
Anyway, this is what I am wearing:




This is a Bebe sweater and a Limited heavy weight knit pencil skirt. My black suede BCBG boots finish the look.


 On top. I wore my Newport News black and gold metallic tweed coat with the gold chain trim.



My black plastic waterfall necklace was perfect.



  On my right arm, a citrine ring and a beaded cuff from the Chakra Shack in Laguna Beach.


On my left arm, my Hermes CDC and a costume ring from Banana Republic in Baltimore.
