Twofer Tuesday and temporary leave of absence

Oh Express, where have you been all my life? Right there in the mall, I've just been walking right on by you this whole time. But not anymore!

Express is killing me with their super cute skirts, I just cannot get enough. I'm thinking one will make it on to my fall/winter buy list. The two miniskirts I'm coveting at the moment:

LEFT Art Deco Sequin Mini 59.90   RIGHT Sequin Embellished Mini 59.50

Even though this is a Twofer Tuesday, not Threefer Tuesday, I have to give an honorable mention to this little sassy pants:

Mixed Print Satin Pencil Skirt 59.90

And my clock just rung midnight, which means this is officially a Twofer Wednesday :( Oops.
In other news, I must take a short temporary leave of absence, because I'm currently experiencing death by school + work. Yay. I'm hoping to be back in a week or two. Salut!

I heart gold

I'm really loving gold right now, especially the idea of pairing a gold shirt with a gold skirt, especially two different tones of gold. I think pairing this with black booties (if in doubt, wear some black booties, right?) and some unique but still understated black earrings.

So what do you think...two-tone gold outfits...yay or nay?

PS-I swear a new mani tutorial and the Rodarte star hairpiece diy will be up in the next few days!

I bought all the stuff I need to make a very classy fake copy of the the Rodarte gold star hairpiece:

I had to go to Hobby Lobby (bleh), and I still didn't find exactly what I was looking for, but hopefully what I bought will work. Mondays and Tuesdays are always the busiest for me, so I'll probably be making this Wednesday. I'll have some more awesome pics too! (as long as it's not a disaster)

Toodle-oo.
