2014, Got2b, Kat Von D, Liz&Co., Summer, Summer 2014, Summer Essentials

The summer is upon us! This is my favorite season so I decided to make a post about the things you will need during this hot time.

This shampoo by Got2b is great for summer because it’s extremely conditioning and smells like coconuts or tanning oil. After you swim the chlorine strips your hair of good oils and dries out the hair so it’s necessary to have a shampoo that can add some moisture back in to make hair more healthy and easy to work with. I would recommend this for people who have naturally dry, frizzy locks because this shampoo is a bit too heavy for my normal-to-oily tresses! Try not to use too much of this either or it will make your hair feel stiff.

Being out in the heat of the summer can do a number on your skin. Sweating is inevitable. Make sure to carry powder or blotting sheets or both to ensure a matte finish and to touch up your face throughout the day! This powder is by Kat Von D who is famously known for being a tattoo artist, she has a line of makeup products at Sephora and I love how cute and goth their names are! She has a lipstick called Cathedral.

I like to carry or wear white things in the summer to bring out my tan! White nails, white shoes, white jewelry, etc. If you aren’t a big fan of white you could try a nice neutral color like beige or nude color which can also make your tan standout! My white purse is by Liz&Co. and I think the rectangle style along with the white color is timelessly chic; my grandma would carry this bag!

Nails, Nails of the Day, NOTD, pastel, Pastel green, Sally Hansen, Sea foam green

My last post was my 200th post!!!!! Isn’t that awesome!! I haven’t posted on here in a while because I’ve been very busy lately, I will post about why I have been so busy in a later post! (So stayed tuned, it’s an exciting reason!) :p

This is might be my absolute favorite polish that I own. I LOVE pastel colors and they are still super on-trend. This is the shade Sea by Sally Hansen, it really does remind me of the sea foam on the tips of waves at the beach. It was difficult to photograph it, but it’s a lot prettier in person! The best thing about this hue is that it makes my tan pop, which is a big deal for me in the summer!!

Fleural, Forever 21, OOTD, Outfit of the Day

I haven’t posted in a while because I was out of town for my brother’s masters graduation. He’s a smart cookie!

I wore this a couple weekends ago to the country club for lunch with family. It was mother’s day, so I felt obligated to wear something fancy and cute. The dress is from Forever 21, makeshift belt from Claire’s I think, and the strappy faux alligator skin heels are by Worthington.

Outfit of the Day: Leopard and Sequins

leopard, OOTD, Outfit of the Day, Racer Back, Sequins, Tanktop, victoria's secret, wedges

I wore this out for coffee the other night. I never wear that racer back tank because I’m always afraid the sequins will pick at the fabric on my bras and it’s too itchy to wear without a bra. So this time I wore it I put a sports bra under it and I don’t think it picked at it!! I think it’s an adorable shirt, if you can’t make out what the sequins form, it’s a big pink heart! The skirt is a sheer lightweight bottom that I’ve posted about before. Tank and skirt are from Victoria’s Secret, wedges are from the beach from some random shop.

I wore this to a job fair the other day. Some of the potential employers complimented my looks and outfit! This would also be appropriate attire for a job interview or just a day at your job. Grey pinstripe blazer by A. Byers, black bootleg pants by Dickies, aqua wrinkle-less shirt by Worthington, and the metallic pointy-toed heels are by Diba East.

Jewelry of the Day: Pink Chandeliers

Big Earrings, Chandelier Earrings, Dang-ly Earrings, Earrings, Jewelry of the Day, JOTD, Pink Earrings, Statement Earrings

I have always been fond of the really big, dang-ly earrings. They are a big statement and they show up better than tiny earrings, especially if you have long hair that covers most of your ears like I do. So if you like to stand out, these do the trick.

wpid-0501141923-1.jpg

I received these a few years back from one of my college roommates! I had been wanting some like this for a while as I recall and was thrilled to get them. They look super nice with a high pony tail. They remind me of gypsy/fortune teller kind of mystique. I really dig. You can find big earrings almost anywhere at the mall. Tell me what ya think!

Outfit of the Day: High Waist Jeans

80's, For me, High Waist Jeans, High Waistline, Jeans, Outfit of the Day

The jeans in my picture are by For Me and they fit like a glove unlike any of my other jeans. They have a million buttons (not literally) on the front which makes having to take them off difficult, but it’s worth it. The wash is very vivid blue and I make sure to tuck in whatever shirt I am wearing to make the highness more apparent. It’s also fun to pair a blazer or nice jacket with these and pretend like I am a character who stepped off the screen of the cult classic Heathers film.

wpid-photogrid_1398743122771.jpg

All of my other jeans are low riders and when I get in a 80’s mood I’ve got to put on something with a overly exaggerated high waistline. I would have been such an 80’s metal head if I would have lived then, you don’t even know. Haha. Sometimes it’s good to have an outfit throwback; dress in something that was very trendy from a certain decade and make it look new and refreshing. These aren’t out of style by any means either, I have seen girls everywhere for the past few years wearing high waist-ed pants. I am not a big fan of high waistline shorts though, I feel like they make people look chubby usually and it’s just not a good look. If you are going to wear shorts that have a high waist, at least know how to look nice doing it, like don’t wear a crop top with it, wear something that tucks in to counteract how much leg is showing. I would like to think I could make them look classy, but we will never know, because I do not intend on buying any. I wish the females who did wear them would get their style together though. Lol. Ok, rant over! Tell me how you feel now!!

Makeup of the Day: Urban Decay Electric

Makeup of the Day, MOTD, neon, Urban Decay, Urban Decay Electric

wpid-photogrid_1398006843957.jpg

One of the newest palettes from Urban Decay is called Electric, you can find it at Sephora. This palette features bright Easter egg neon pigments that are sure to make people do a double take. These are my favorite colors I’ve ever purchased, hands down. They are also easy to apply with the brush that comes with it because it has two sides that vary in size to perfect the shape and look you want to reach.

The color never faded away even after hours of wear, and the colors didn’t drop down below my eyes when I applied it, so it’s some heavy duty shadow! The photo above shows several colors that I’ve used thus far. I’ve paired yellow and green, purple and pink, and silver and aqua. I will continue to practice with different combinations of all these hot hues. Tell me what you think!!

Hello friends and fellow bloggers!! Today I wore this cute little number to a local hanoutspot to chill with some cool kids. I really wish that the quality of the second photo was better, but you get the drift and that is all that matters!! The tank top has a leather front, the shorts are black and white striped jeans with a frayed trim.

Grey leather tank top by Lily White, shorts by Almost Famous, and wedges by Kelsi Dagger

The back is lacy, great for such a muggy day spent mostly on a patio. Note the big, pink dang-ly earrings, they are my faves and I will post about them later on so stay tuned!!

TTYL ❤
