This yellow jacket is by far one of my favorite things in my wardrobe. And yet…It’s one of those pieces that makes such a statement and can only be worn in so many ways that I don’t bust it out very often. So when I do wear it, the day feels special. And also mustardy.
Also, some of you that follow me on Twitter saw that I splurged on a certain fancy beauty item last week (and Instagrammed it, of course, because if it’s not on Instagram, it didn’t happen)…The lucky new product gracing my face is an Yves Saint Laurent Gloss Stain in an awesome orangey-red shade. 
I had read nothing but glowing reviews of this product in magazines, but I never know how much to trust magazines…they could be sponsored or something. I don’t know. But I had a 20% off coupon for Sephora so I decided to go for it. So, you want to know my unsponsored thoughts? I thought so…
The picture below (and the ones above, for that matter) were taken around 4:30pm. The last time I had touched up my lips was after lunch, 12:30 or so. Since then I had eaten a granola bar, a medium fries from Wendy’s, and a Diet Coke. (I like to snack, OK?) The point is, this stuff sticks! It’s part gloss, part stain, so the gloss does rub off on your coffee cup, but the stain sticks around for awhile. For me, it’s a great combo because I like to use something glossy on my lips so they don’t feel dry, but I also hate it when I get through a meal or a drink and I’m left with just a red outline around my lips. You know what I’m talking about. Tacky. Basically, this stuff is the best of both worlds!
So Santa, if you’re listening, I wouldn’t mind another color.

Thanks! And glad my review was helpful…I hope I don’t steer you wrong, but it really is good stuff. And my lips are temperamental and dry, so if it works for me hopefully it’ll work for you!
The ruffles on your jacket are so sweet! Very cute! I get why you don’t wear it daily, you’d get called Big Bird or something. (Not by me, I love it!)
You look adorable, if a little cold. Very pretty lippy!

Big Bird is awesome…I wouldn’t mind that.
I love that jacket! The color is amazing and the ruffles are so sweet! I love how you paired it with the black scarf and brown boots…so pretty!
First, love your coat! And second, I just purchased the gloss stain as well, and am loving it!! Wearing it today in 09 (kind of a true red). And I also want lots more. 🙂
Most amazeballs jacket (besides your Zara peplum stripe one)! Is that weird I know your clothing? That gloss looks great on you and now I’m adding it to my wishlist. Thanks for the review girl. xo

Amazing jacket! You really pull off that puffed shoulder and ruffles with aplomb. 🙂 The gloss stain looks great on you and it’s good to hear that it’s long-wearing. 🙂
