This is a look from this past summer. I guess I should post more outfits each month, but I get bored of just posting the same thing. It is far more interesting to post throwback outfits, especially when this kind of outfit is my fave. I get so tired of the winter weather and the same long sleeves and pants. Summer gives you ability to wear the cutest things.

This is from over the summer whilst I visited the beach at Wilmington, NC. The crop top is Forever 21, skirt is my favorite of all time from Max Mara and Miley Cyrus collection, lips by Kat Von D. My hair dried curly cause I was at the beach, but to achieve this scrunched loche look, use Soy Renewal Beach Spray by Sexy Hair!

Hair of the day: Allover highlights

It’s been busy since it’s that time of year again, but I made time to get more highlights. The light blonde that my hair pulls is perfect to bring out my eyes and matches my complexion. I feel like I will stay this way a long while. I think it suits me best and makes my hair look fuller. Now that I have my hair did, it’s time for some professional photos. Stay tuned.

Review:Rose Floral Toner

I tone my face twice daily after cleansing and before moisturizing to ensure soft, refreshed, non-blemished skin. This is a rose infused toner from Sephora by the brand fresh. I like this one because it is very soothing and never burns or irritates my face. If you get flushed or redfaced easily, this is a great toner to calm down the ruddy look. It doesn’t have a strong scent since it’s mostly made up of water, but the rose smell is evident which I think is calming in itself. In the past I have used body wash by the fresh brand that I didn’t like because I believed I was allergic. This rose water doesn’t make me sneeze though so I am open to trying more of their products.. so long as it’s not more body wash.

Outfit of the Day: Texture & Neutrals

This is a throwback look that I donned a couple months ago when it was still nice and summery. I would say it’s one of my favorites because it’s super pretty, tiny, and very in style for the moment! Neutrals are BIG, I am not sure how long that will last, but IDC, I will always rock them because they are so flattering, simple, and chic no matter the occasion. The bottom is a bit large, so I have to stick out my stomach a little to keep it from sliding. I have a little black pleather crop top that goes with the mini too, for when I want to be matchy-matchy monochromatic!

The crop and pleather skirt are from Forever 21. Tartiest matte lip paint by Tarte.

EEEEEEEEP!!!! This shiny delight is pretty enough to eat up. Just look at her!! Yummy, right?!? I received this beaute over last Christmas and it was one of my fave gifts of the year. This pastel green always looks retro and delicate; it’s very ladylike. It is one of the many  sweet-colored Candy Bags that Furla offers. If you like this one, check out the ombre colored ones, those are super sleek, or even the sophisticated jet black one makes my mouth water. Hands down, this is one of the prettiest purses. And these smell so good!! I could go on, but I will spare you!

 

 

Outfit of the Day: THIS IS HALLOWEEN

Like the Tim Burton-esque title? Lol. So do I!

So for Halloween at work, I was a medieval princess, but that costume was made for winter weather (it’s velvet) and since it was 80 degrees here in NC, you bet I changed! As I was in the shower debating what to wear for such a hot Halloween, I suddenly remembered I had my mother’s high school majorette uniform from the 70’s !!! It is pictured above, and although it looks way too short, she assured me it is supposed to be that length (they always wore nude tights underneath I think). The polyester was itchy and a bit stuffy, but I wore it most the night!

As we all know, since we are fashion forward, open-minded bloggers here, black lipstick is NOT just for Halloween, especially with the return of -and mainstream acceptance of- grunge 90’s style. I have been wearing black lips for about a year now and nothing feels quit as liberating. I felt like wearing Kat Von D’s studded black lipstick to give the majorette outfit more of an edge and maybe some irony. I love this hue because it is gun-metal, it has a blue/silvery shine to it that does not wash-out one’s complexion.

Sephora has cool shades of polish. I like to do my own nails so I have quite a few of their colors, and I like all of them. This one is a matte black that has glitter in it as well. If you don’t use a top coat, it is very rough, so be careful not to scratch your eye or pic clothing.
