I have to say, I'm falling in love with these wedges. They make me feel super tall, which is not usual for someone of my modest stature. Plus, they are some of the most comfortable shoes I own. I have some gift certificate left over to Revolveclothing.com and I've been ogling the shoes. I've always loved shoes, but with my size of feet it's nearly impossible to find ones (especially heels) that will fit or be comfortable. I usually end up getting a size or so too big and just dealing with it. I've been really eyeing the Jeffrey Campbells, since so many of my blogger friends have them and I just am sitting here totally drooling over them, wishing I could afford them. So I'm thinking that my gift certificate is going to get me some new Jeffrey Campbells. Of course all the ones I love are out of stock right now. I'll just have to have patience and wait for them to come back in. I'm thinking maybe these flats in either the brown or black, these chunky heels, or these nude flats. Which ones are your favorites?

I'm selling makeup online in an effort to have some measure of income on the road, and pretty much all the makeup I wear is from the brand I sell, so I get a lot of it sent to me. The other day I accidentally received two of the same shade of lipstick in the mail, so I thought I'd put one up for giveaway! I'm wearing the shade in these pictures, it's called Red Coral. It actually kind of reminds me of a watermelon red ala Jolly Ranchers. It's orangey red with a bit of pink to it. I normally don't wear shades like this, but I actually liked how vibrant it was. Lipstick always makes me feel a little bit different. Perhaps it's just because I don't normally wear it, but it kind of just gives me some sort of extra zing.
Every comment on this post will be entered to win the lipstick (one comment per person). Of course I'll need a way to contact you if you don't have a blog or link where I can reach you. I'll pull the winner the same time as the Yellow Birdd giveaway, July 26 at 9 pm akst (10 pm pst).

This might be my favorite outfit you've worn in awhile! I wish I had a skirt that cute for myself. I also adore the nude flats you are looking to buy. You need to get them!

sharonlei said...

I absolutely LOVE these pictures of you. You're so lovely.. and those wedges are super sweet. I'd be wearing them a ton of I owned them. I hope you get a pair of JC's soon. I think you should get the chunky pair... and I'm thinking I need a new pair to add to my growing collection. :)

xx Love & Aloha

thetravelingpeach said...

i vote for the chunky heels personally...
i agree with another commenter, one of my favorite outfits you've worn

Vanessa said...

I think the Macho shoe in nude is the best choice, no competition!

I've been experimenting with lip color recently, as I have been sticking with chapstick and a little bit of gloss for far too long. Love this color!

April said...

I love this outfit! I also like how the lipstick matches your wedges!

Suseth said...

I like the height of wedges too because I'm short. Hope I win! suzster3@gmail.com

carly. said...

i love jeffrey campbells and one day, one day i will get a pair! they are a little out of my price range as well. i'm always searching on ebay for a good pair...unfortunately no luck so far. they just have fantastic shoes and lots of chunky heels and wedges which are my favooourite right now. i love all of the choices you've chosen. maybe you'd get more wear out of a pair of the flats?

Bad Taste Toast said...

I totally go for the nude Jeffrey Campbell flats! They're so gorgeous! I bet they look adorable with lots of your dresses! :)

The lipstick is so cool, I'm so glad I got to know Motives via your blog. The vamp lipstick I won here some time ago is my favourite one since then.

Pleasantly Jaded said...

I think you should definitely snag the Jeffrey Campbell Macho flats in nude! :)

Love the lip shade!

I would pick the nude flats. I would love a pair of those. Also, great outfit! You look too cute in it.

I love the floral skirt with stripes...so cute! And the lipstick color is great too.

I love the striped with floral. I need to work up the courage to copy this someday.

What brand do you sell? I would love to take a peek and help with your Winnie fund. If you don't want to announce it here, just email me a link to your sales site.

Who else but you can rock stripes with florals!!

Cute cute wedges! I can't believe those are from Forever 21. The lip color is really fun and your jolly rancher comparison is right on par! I hope I win!!

Shayla said...

Ahh! That is great lipstick. And I adore the shoes.

eleanor said...

This outfit is lovely! And those wedges are amazing, I think I might have to invest in some wedges come summer time here.

jamie said...

That lipstick does look really pretty on. And I love the stripes and florals. I've wanted to try that.

foreverabloom said...

I've seen you wear those wedges before and have been trying my hardest not to buy a pair for myself, but you have been making it extremely difficult. haha.

You look so pretty, Elizabeth!

Celeste M said...

I've noticed when you wear those shoes (that sounds creepy, haha) and I'm so jealous! They're pretty, and the fact that they're so comfortable makes me want them even more.
Also, beautiful shade of liptstick.

I love that color lipstick on you and those wedges are so pretty... I also think you should go for the chunky heels. They look like they are so your style.

Becca said...

I'm so not a lipstick girl, I've been trying to find a shade that works with me for, well, forever. Here's hoping this is it!

horizontaldays said...

DEFINITELY the flats in black! They're lovely!

I completely agree with the extra height.. 5'2" isn't very forgiving, whenever I see size 5 shoes I think of you haha! The best vintage shoes here are always size 5/6 which is too small for me.. so sad!

Ven said...

ouhhh i love the skirtt andd wedgee! :DD !!

Rebecca said...

I really like those wedges. The color is great.

love this outfit! i think the lipstick shade and wedges look great together heehee

Nicola said...

I think the 2nd pair of flats you mentioned are the most versatile: they can be worn with almost anything and can be dressed up or down making them ideal for your road trip adventure!

Nice Shade and Shoes!!

Amanda said...

You look amazing Elizabeth! I swear, you are the best source of inspiration for comfy/chic outfits! Lovelovelove the striped top with the skirt. As for the shoes, I'd go with the wedges. I'm drooling over any piece of clothing that's mustard color after seeing the Orla Kiely collection.

Kat not Jas said...

oooh! maybe i should give wedges a try...

and i have a size 5 foot so i totally understand not being able to find shoes! i usually go vintage on etsy.

Lauren said...

Good luck choosing between the two pairs of flats - they were both super super gorgeous!! The first ones were really funky tho... but the third pair netting and studs <3... like I said GOOD LUCK CHOOSING :D And ooh I will definitely be checking out your make up!

Caitlyn, Bees with Feathers said...

I love the stripes and floral combination so much, and that lipstick color is so pretty!

danielle said...

I really like the nude flats. They are fairly basic, making them mega versatile, but at the same time they are different enough to make a statement.

mandy said...

I love that you've kind of managed to get the look of a fishtail braid with your braid. I'm so envious of your hair all of the time.

Lindsey N. said...

That lipstick looks gorgeous with your skin. And I'm super jealous of those wedges.

Christy said...

I think that these are some of the prettiest pictures of you I've seen. I am in love with that mod cloth skirt. it's a dream and the wedges look really fun.

I think my favorite of the shoes are the nude flats.

Awesome wedges! I have a hard time with heels, too! I am only 4'11", so I feel a little weird in heels, like I am trying to be tall (fail haha!). :)

I love the yellow chunky heels!!! The flats are super cute and fresh too though. Tough call, but I always end up going for the heels, i love feeling tall!

Cramerifico said...

Oh I do love that shade!

Joanna Ladrido said...

Love the outfit and all the shoes, don't know how you will decide! I would love a little zing in the form of your red coral lipstick, which is really just a super cool name!

kelly ann said...

stripes and florals are one of my favourite combos right now... you look adorable!

Alice said...

OMG!
These nude flats are more than words can say !
Pick them !!!
Great Lipstick :) .

Meg! said...

Firstly, how are you so cute? Answer me with the recipe so I can make some for myself!

Secondly, I LOVE the floral/stripes combo! I did the same today, but I'm afraid I didn't pull it off as adorably as you did. Also, that necklace is so wonderful -- did you make it yourself?

Lastly, perhaps if I win this lipstick I'll actually grow the balls necessary to wear it. ;)

Lynzy said...

I'd love to win!!
Amazing pair of wedges.

I'm a flats fan, but something about the chunky heels appeals to me a great deal. The lipstick's an adorable shade on you.

Joanna said...

Great outfit!
All three pairs of shoes are really cute but I personally like the nude flats best. Hopefully your favourite style comes back in stock in your size soon!

Amara said...

From the three shoes i really love the "Bleeker Cut Out in Tan" flats. They are very cute and make me wish i had a few dollars to spare on them.
