I won a PDF copy of Danielle Meder's Paperdoll Book! For entering her paperdoll cut up contest. My entry was a little silly but still something I would wear... I only found out about the contest a few hours before the deadline unfortunately... but it was fun to cut up the pieces and try them out in different ways...

Today I went to MAC to get a fresh studio tech foundation for myself. I've been using a crappy drugstore powder foundation for too long. When I asked the price of the Studio Tech I remembered while I had temp switched to the crappy brand. Last foundation shopping trip at MAC I made I picked up Studio Fix Fluid. I tried it on my face in the store and it looked good - but when I got home I found the shade to be ever so slightly darker than my own face... Kind of annoying... I lean towards the paler look... So I got a lighter shade this time, my usual NC15. (I know you can return the product even after giving it a test at home but the shade was so close to my own I couldn't be bothered. Though next time I think I will bother.) I can barely remember what it feels/looks like to wear the Studio Tech at this point, it's been so long. Now I can give it a (re) try and compare it to the Studio Fix. Reading the most recent post at gloss spot makes me think I should really try a new brand altogether sometime...

When I asked a makeup artist as MAC to help me figure out if I was getting the right shade of foundation she said "Oh I know, I like a lighter foundation too because you can always go darker but with a darker foundation you can't go lighter." What???

I'm very excited for some black sequin leggings I picked up on the weekend. They are tiiiiight! I also purchased a vintage top from The Public Butter a couple weeks ago and just got it back from the drycleaners yesterday. Lots of fun things to wear for the holidays!

What I ended up wearing to see Gaga

I bought batteries and brought my camera along to see Lady Gaga, all ready to take lots of snaps! Then discovered that I left my memory card at home. So I could only take a couple pictures but they're saved onto the harddrive of my camera and I can't find the cable to bring them to my computer! When Steve and I got home, he took some pics of me in my outfit.

It's a nude bodysuit, shiny *tight* high waisted black leggings, (thank you American Apparel), my go to black patent peep toe heels (Aldo), red lace gloves, white double breasted single button jacket (silence and noise for Urban Outfitters), my deadstock flip up glasses, nude colored multi-way bra (Victoria's Secret) and makeup/nail polish.

The concert was awesome, I am so glad that there were giant screens of Gaga since our seats were at a slightly unfortunate angle... I was most excited when she started to sing Speechless, when she was at the piano it was the best... She talked a lot which was awesome and the costumes were very cool... Want to see her again...
