"These are a few of my favorite things..."

It's true.  Sing it from the rooftops like the VonTrap children! 

I am in love with the following things:

1) Navy or Ink colored anything. Whether it's nails, clothes, or accessories I am in love with this color right now.  I haven't found one person that's wearing it and not found them a tad classy.  It's just so chic!

2) Copper colored eyes/shadows.  I have been told that my actual iris' are the shade of "honey", "tigers eye" and "copper"-all of which I find very flattering.  [Unfortunately the DMV and other governmental agencies only have options for brown, green, blue, and hazel so I'm legally a hazel eyed person.] So, with my Scotts-Irish/Cherokee skin tones and my "copper" eyes I adore copper shadow-on myself as well as on others.  I don't think specifics really affect this shadow either because I've seen different ethnicities, hair colors, and skin tones wear it (trust me-just Google it and you'll know what I mean) and it always looks fierce.  See what I mean:

3 different shades of copper eyeshadow/bronzer-perfect for different skin tones.  This specific brand is from Stila.

God I love this photo! Simplistic surrounding makeup and this fierce shade! Tell me you don't love the copper trend and I'll buy you a drink.

So naturally-since I am so in love with these two things...

This is my navy purse-purchased from Target-that I ADORE! It matches with everything (for the fall/winter), is big enough to hold everything I need it to AND looks stunning on its own accord.  [Special thanks to my sister for the Target gift card which pushed me to go check things out in the first place!]

And here is my M.A.C. copper eyeshadow that I rocked yesterday to work!  My sister bought this for me when I was 17 and I still haven't scratched the bottom of the pot yet! Granted-I don't wear it every day but I could and it would still last forever! One (of many) things I love about M.A.C. cosmetics is that they use high pigments (meaning more concentrated colors/elements) so the you don't have to use as much when applying-therefore it lasts longer and isn't too heavy!  I know the rule of throwing makeup out when it gets too old but I refuse to toss this until it's bone dry.

This love is pretty strong.  I love these colors separate but throw them together and you've got an amazing combo of chic/fierce-which in my opinion is a perfect balance for a girl who's got a rounded personality.

[This is more gold than copper but you get the gist of how awesome they look together.]

Check these pairings and tell me you're not in love too...it's okay: I don't mind the affair as long as the love is real, LOL.

*This second outfit is my favorite! There are so many textures that work so well together and the colors are so smooth together...*droooooooooools* one day...one day, LOL.

Well-I'm sure you all get the idea...I'm in love with copper and navy.  If any of you decide to try this fierce combo together PLEASE show me so I can add it to this blog!  I'm going shopping today so if I can find something that works-I'm doing it!
