Casual OOTD

Blouse: Thrifted

Leggings: Forever 21

Earrings: Forever 21

Rings: H&M

Purse: Forever 21

Booties: Qupid

It's a very casual Saturday. These booties have instantly become some of my favorites. I purchased them last weekend from a store called Reflection. It is just one of those really cheap shoe stores that I like to go into every now and then. I was pretty hesitant to purchase them at first, because I wasn't sure if I would wear them enough. However, they were having an extra 40% off their boots so I figured...whatever. They're totally worth the $10 or $15, so I bought them. And I'm SO glad that I did! They do start to hurt a little bit after wearing them for more than 5 hours. But I'm sure that after a few more wears, they will be extremely comfy all day!

A little rocker chic

Wore this outfit today to take my cousins from the Philippines out for some coffee and shopping. I love the heel on these boots because it's low enough for me to wear on a day-to-day basis. <3

Time for Fall OOTD

 
Hello my loves!
Boy oh boy has it been a long time since I've blogged at all! I havent had much time to do anything but study! It's so sad, really! But I had some time and I really miss the blog world, so I decided to give myself a little school break and do this! =)

Now I LOVE fall/winter. Definitely my favorite time of the year. I have also been really loving maxi skirts as of lately. They can be so flattering, if you buy the right shape and cut.

Top: Cotton On

A Chocolate Brown Jumpsuit

My Loves!
I have been EXTREMELY MIA! Life has been SUPER crazy! I just moved out of my house and into an apartment for school. Also, with the BF being back in town, my life has literally been school, work, bf, and trying to prepare myself for moving. So I'M BACK at my new location! I wanted to do a quick OOTD, since I'VE been so MIA! =P

Pink Pants, Anyone?

Hello, Dolls!

I purchased this pair of peachy/pink jeans from Forever 21. They were only $13.50, so I figured...why not? Jean's aren't always my favorite thing to wear, but having them in a different color made it quite enjoyable! Since the weather in Socal likes to have major mood swings, I thought that this would be a great way to still (kinda) keep myself warm when it's raining, while staying in the mood of spring.

WATCH ME! =)

I hope you enjoyed! And I hope you have a LOVELY weekend! I know I will...MY BOYFRIEND IS COMING HOME TOMORROW!! =D =D

A Neutral OOTD

Hello, Loves!
This time last week, I was wearing sun dresses and short shorts. Today, I am rocking a blazer and a scarf. Even though it is typical for SOCAL weather to be so wishy washy...I don't think I will ever get used to it. It even RAINED yesterday, and it's supposed to rain again tomorrow. WHOMP! My closet is full of florals and bright colors...they just wanna be worn already!!

sorry for the terrible quality!!

Hope you guys enjoyed and I'll see you in my next post! <3

Feeling a little nauti...cal

Hello, dolls!
I was in a nautical mood a few days ago and came up with this nail design.

L-R: Lapis of Luxury, The "IT" Color, Dating a Royal, Mermaid's Tears, Skulls and Glossbones, Silver Shatter

I have been so good at not buying nail polishes. My brother and sister-in-law were in town and she wanted to go to the place where I buy all my polishes, so I took her. And well...this is what happened. The last 3 polishes are from the Pirates of the Caribbean collection. Those are the only 2 polishes (besides the silver shatter) that appealed to me. As for the rest of the colors, I have nothing like them in my collection yet. So that's that.

I hope you enjoyed and see you in my next post! <3

DIY Nail Polish Rack

Hello, Loves!
If you are anything like me, (which I know SEVERAL of you are), then you LOVE to collect nail polishes. I have so many polishes that I don't even know what to do with myself. So I have been in need for a nail polish rack. I have so many polishes that go unused because they are all stored in a bin, and the ones aaaallll the way in the back never get any lovin. I have been on the hunt for a decently priced nail polish rack, but I am too cheap (or thrifty, rather) to spend $40.00 on one. I've even checked ebay and amazon, and there is nothing that ever really catches my eye. SO...I decided to make my own. =)

BEFORE

AFTER

This rack holds 36 OPI & China Glaze polishes. Not too shabby, huh? If you have a lot of smaller polishes, like Essie, then it will definitely hold a LOT more! Total, I spent about $6! Definitely beats $40.00, and I had so much fun putting it together! I had Hello Kitty ribbon lying around at home (and I am OBSESSED with HK), so I was able to spruce it up and add my own touches to this project. Plus, the ribbon helped hide the imperfections. ;) This was a complete test run and to be honest, I had no idea how this was gonna turn out. I kinda just thought of ideas as I went. Not bad for a trial run, huh?

I have one more rack to put together, so if you want to know how I did this, let me know in the comments below, and I can definitely do that. =D I am SO not an artsy fartsy person, but I'd like to think that I did an O.K. job. LOL!

Hope you enjoyed my little DIY project! See you in my next post! =D

E.L.F. Haul [First Online Order]

 

Hello, my loves!!
I made my very first online E.L.F. towards the end of April, and I received my package sometime in the beginning of May. It took 6 days to get to my house, which I am happy about because the tracking device said that it would take about 8! We all know that E.L.F. is an EXTREMELY INEXPENSIVE brand. They sell SOME E.L.F. products at Target, but not too much. When I decided to browse their website, I saw that they were having a 50% off sale on their Studio Line cosmetics. I believe that most of their studio line is only $3, which meant that everything I purchased was only $1.50. That is a steal !!

Conditioning Lip Balm: Peaceful Pink

Conditioning Lip Balm: Romantic Rouge

Blush: Pink Passion

Blush: Tickled Pink

Blush: Peachy Keen

Contouring Blush and Bronzer Duo

Cream Eyeliner: Black

Treat & Tame (Eyebrows)

Professional Brush Belt retails for $15.00

I have definitely tried out MOST of these products. The only things that I haven't tried out are the Pink Passion blush and the Peachy Keen blush. So far, I'm loving every single product that I purchased!



Check out the video for swatches! =)

Hope you enjoyed and I'll see you in my next post! <3
