While browsing ModCloth's shoe selection, I came across these spectacular brogues. The aptly named Knock Your Socks Off Heel is the perfect boost for back-to-school wardrobe blues. 
The hunt for the perfect foundation that you can wear everyday and not breakout has come to an end. I've been using the M.A.C. Mineralize Foundation SPF 15 since March and love it. While $32 is more than what I usually spend on foundation, this one is worth it. The creamy, buildable coverage works well on my combination skin, which means no flaking and no breakouts. I love that this foundation is packed with minerals and makes me feel like I'm doing something good for my skin. I mentioned the Mineralize Foundation in my Favorite April Beauty Products video but had to give another shout out because I love this so much. 
I just finished reading Jane Rubino and Caitlen Rubino-Bradway's Lady Vernon and Her Daughter, a retelling of Jane Austen's Lady Susan. While I liked how Lady Vernon and Her Daughter captured Austen's style, I'm disappointed that Lady Susan is transformed from a calculating coquette into a damsel in distress. Instead of a captivating social climber, Lady Susan Vernon is a loving wife and mother who must shift for herself when her husband dies. Much like in Sense and Sensibility, Lady Vernon and her daughter, Frederica, are dependent on a male relation who refuses to offer them financial assistance or acknowledge that it is his duty to provide for these helpless women. I think if I had not read Lady Susan first I would have enjoyed this novel more.
