Some lucky dogs have been shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary sale for a week (cardholders had exclusive access until today). But the good news is all the goodies have been restocked and are ready to get into your little paws. The sale is open to the public from today through 8/3. I think Nordstrom is totally unique in their beauty offerings. Many are exclusive to the sale AND to Nordstrom. Here are my picks and what I plan to stock up on (above NARS Cheek Palette):
Apologies for the late Wednesday Thursday On The Web – this week was a little juggled with the TV segment falling on a Wednesday and my Aspen girls’ trip happening tomorrow! I plan on rocking this messy bun and taking a vacation from blowouts all weekend. That and some laughter, wine and fabulous meals. Some of my finds from around the web from this week:
This is the brow look I strive for every day.
Thinking about picking up this sweet little dress.
Intimidated by false lashes? Look no further than this tutorial.
Loving these Sunday Food Prep tips.
Totally respect the no makeup approach to life – albeit I could never do it!
For those who wonder why I chose to live in Tulsa (or think it’s just where Chandler is from on Friends): read this
I studied in Paris and speak halting French so naturally I loved this piece on how much French you actually have to know to visit Paris.

How great is this hair? Hopefully, by the end of the summer, I can master this look. So far, I am making progress by blow drying with only my hands then using sea salt spray to “rough it up”. I also love using a root booster even though I seem to have to wash my hair more often when I add it to my routine. My favorite is L’Oreal Paris Advanced Hairstyle Boost It High Lift Creation Spray – and at under $5 you can’t beat the price.
Some of my finds from around the web this past week:
This site is hilarious – totally dedicated to finding a place to pee (actually majorly useful when traveling)
Craving pastel makeup for spring? Check out this tutorial
These muslin skincare cloths have my name written all over them
This t-shirt dress is bound to be my summer uniform
Shopbop added loads to their sale section yesterday. I ordered this dress and am obsessed – thought it was sold out but looks like black is back in stock and grey and blue are on sale. Some of my other favorites:

I’m thinking about changing things up when it comes to posting my weekly TV segment clips. I wanted to share some specific favorites that I wore while on the show. You can find yesterday’s segment here (please excuse my friend and host, KC, being scary with the illuMask Anti-Acne Light Therapy Mask – haha) and details about my outfit below:
First and foremost, I am loving my new Stella & Dot goodies. My necklace was the Sutton in Blue/Green. I love the layers. One chain comes off to be worn alone. But all the strands together were perfect with my cobalt shirt.
I love great statement earrings for television. The Reverie Chandelier Earrings were monotone but filled with detail. The worn gold finish makes them perfect for summer – I can’t wait to wear this throughout the warmer season.
My outfit details: Rag & Bone The Legging Jeans, Pleione Mixed Media Roll Sleeve Top, Manolo Blahnik BB Pointed-Toe Pump and Soft Joie Blazer. Shop The Outfit:

I’m one of those people who relishes a good storm. This afternoon and tomorrow is supposed to bring a wild ride of weather, so I am stocking up on Mexican takeout and queuing up the movies for a couple cozy nights in. Seems cozy nights in is the name of the game lately. Not sure if I am still licking my wounds from this little event or if just feels good to lay low a little bit. It certainly doesn’t hurt that there is loads to read up on around the web (see some favorites below). That doesn’t mean I am not playing around in my makeup and skin care like a good beauty junkie. I can’t wait to share with you some favorite color items later this week. In the meantime, some stories from around the web:
A frightening story about a lifestyle site being stolen and how the owner got it back.

I’ve been on a bit of a shopping embargo, but now I really can’t wait to let loose again and pick up some goodies to get ready for spring. Here are some of the bits and bobs from around the web that I can’t seem to resist lately.

My skin care routine is always changing as I am adding new products for review. Every once in a while, I’d like to share my routine, just so you can see what is on Belle Belle’s radar. Here is what is stacking up on my vanity:
1. ReVive Cleanser Exfoliant: This gentle and creamy cleanser has beads that help turn over dull and dry winter skin without irritation.
2.Kate Somerville Daily Deflector Moisturizer: This luminous cream provides important sun protection now that retinol and hydroquinone are back in my rotation.
3. Mario Badescu Keratoplast Cleansing Lotion: This toner helps ensure all traces of my makeup are gone while helping my skin fight redness and promoting even skin.
4. Kate Somerville Age Arrest Anti-Wrinkle Cream: The big 3-5 is only four months away and I’m staving away wrinkles with this hydrating, technologically advanced cream.
5. Rodin Olio Lusso: Ever since I was tipped off to add a face oil over moisturizer to “seal in” moisture, I can’t bear to skip this step and I think my skin is more luminous than usual. This classic is the original face oil.
