Outfit of the Day: Pastel Skater Dress

Alternative, Dress, Going out, lifestyle, New Stuff, OOTD, Outfit of the Day, Pastel green, Pastels

 

I’m not sure what you call this kind of dress, but to me it looks like an ice skating outfit. I ordered it online from Amazon and was happy that it fits perfectly. It has the option of wearing it without the spaghetti straps as well. I wore this out to eat on Valentine’s day this year! The waitress said I look like a little doll because of my look. Lol.

It’s a polyester blend and I had to iron it cause it has the tendency to wrinkle up. The pleats on the skirt remind me of Marilyn Monroe (I’m not even a big fan of her) or a cheer leader. It is a very feminine dress and it is my favorite. However, I don’t think it would look as dainty on somebody who’s a bit busty! It stayed in place though, didn’t flash anyone, but I had to be very careful the skirt didn’t blow up and out cause it is super short. The color IRL, is more mint green, it looks almost aqua on here.

 

I think I had on the Jeffree Star lip color Doll Parts.

It’s a fuzzy pic, but I liked it the best!!

Review: Miss Universe Hairspray

CHI, Firm Hair Spray, hair spray, Miss Universe, review, Rock Your Crown, Style Illuminate

This CHI hairspray lasted me a few months, using it daily. It’s called the Miss Universe Style Illuminate firm hairsptay. I really like that it was a hard hold like the bottle says, I enjoy feeling the stiffness because my hair is naturally so baby-soft! I tease my crown area everyday, well, at least everyday I am going to present myself in front of others! The thing that I disliked about this spray is the smell. It is one of those scents that at first has an almost bitter smell and then you smell sweetness. Some of the best perfumes have pungent odors paired with good-smelling fragrances to create a certain boldness and make certain tones pop within the aroma. Or, maybe this was just a bad bottle and it’s not really supposed to have that odor! Ha, I hope not!

Outfit of the Day: Neutral and Capris

Alternative Style, Barbie, Express, Kat Von D, L.U.V, Neutrals, OOTD, Outfit of the Day

As you can see I was very bored with my hair so I went with a change up! I pushed it back with some gel, the Hard Up blue gel by Sexy Hair, and it laid back over my teased crown fairly well. The tank top is from Express and I love neutral tones so much, and I also love how it is low cut, skin tight, and has vertical ribbing all around! The capri pants were given to me from a co-worker and I wasn’t too keen on them at first because I hadn’t worn capri jeans since I was younger, but they fit really well. I am so cold-natured, I can def. use them when I am out at a restaurant. Actually, the night I wore this I went with family to a pizza place that was freezing, so it worked out. Bracelet is Marc Jacobs, wedges by Coach. Tan by Lancome.

My lipstick is THE MOST TALKED ABOUT THING I WEAR. All of my co-workers and female clients gaze at my new matte lipsticks and ask me where they can purchase them. I will do a post on all of them before too long, stay tuned! I believe this one is L.U.V by Kat Von D.

I fell for these bad boys the moment I saw them online a few years ago. I didn’t stumble upon them in person until the other month at the mall. I was searching through the dimly lit Hot Topic when I came upon these and I knew immediately that they were mine! They call these garters, but I don’t think of them as an under garment, because they are clearly fancy panty hose, if you ask me! And I would never hide them away.

How To: Best Deep Conditioning Tx

Tags

Alternative Style, Barbie, how to, Keratin Complex

If you have hair on your head, you should be getting deep conditioning treatments. It is a common misconception that the only people who need a treatment are people that color their hair, but that simply is a myth. The sun damages your hair, as well as the wind, bitter cold winter weather, and blow-drying your hair. Your hair is thirsty even if you don’t realize it, because even if we air-dry our hair or don’t color it, we cannot escape mother nature! So everybody needs to focus on hydration, with that being said, you should look into getting a deep conditioning treatment at your salon at least once a month. You can also purchase the stuff and do it at home, my favorite conditioning treatment is above, and it smells just like vanilla.  All you have to do is mix a nice conditioner such as the keratin infused one above, with an oil, maybe an essential oil from the Matrix Biolage brand, and pull it through your hair in the shower. Put a processing cap (with a washcloth atop it to keep in heat) on your hair while you shower the rest of your body off, then after 15 or 20 mins, take the cap off and rinse your hair. You can feel the smoothness for up to a week! I usually do this once a week.

Review: Nioxin Hairspray

Hair, hair product, hairspray, new, Nioxin, review

I recently discovered this hairspray because we sell it at work. If you like a really hard hold that you can feel, you’ll love it. I really like a stiff hold because I have really naturally soft hair and I like to feel like something is in there working! I keep my hair teased and high everyday, so it’s vital to have a super hard hold that won’t move. This stuff also makes your hair seem thicker, and it smells sweet as well!

Outfit of the Day: Work Attire

Barbie, OOTD, Outfit of the Day

It’s mandatory that I wear all black outfits to work, which can often be demotivating for me since I really love fashion. Usually I wear a range of colors from pastel pink to neon orange when I’m free, so it can be a challenge on work days. I can wear color or prints in outer wear though, so that helps me not totally die from monotony.

The striped sweater is Worthington. I can’t remember where I got the scarf, but it’s my favorite one cause skulls, duhh. Lol. I like to tie it this way to elongate my neckline and add a bit of drama. I like to mix prints too because that’s the opposite of boring.The shoes are my newest most healthiest shoes.They are nursing shoes; I can stand long periods of time at work and not get foot aches! They are the Allegria brand. I def. recommend them!!! I would like some more of them honestly.

Review: Full Bloom

Alternative Style, Barbie, Body, Full hair, Hair, how to, new, products, review, Sexyhair, Thicker hair, Volume

This product by Sexyhair promises thicker, fuller hair for up to 72 hours and a fresh fragrance that will last 24 hours. It really does make my hair look more voluminous, I’ve received several compliments on the fullness of my hair right after using this. The smell still lingers the next day, which most products can’t say. I just wish it came out in foam form so that it would be harder, I like to feel products in my hair, I know that some people don’t, but I like stiffness since my natural hair is so soft. This sprays out very liquidy and you will want to spray quite a bit to notice the affect. Don’t skimp on it and you will see a difference, just not as drastic of a difference that you would see with a foamy root pump, you can still use it at your roots though and throughout the shaft to see overall thickness.

Review: 3 Faves

Above are three of my favorite products atm. (Lft to Rt:) It’s a 10, Pillow Proof, Soy Renewal Beach Spray.

This may be my ALL TIME fave! It’s called It’s a 10 miracle leave-in product and it works wonders. Not only does it make my damaged hair feel smooth, it makes it shiny, soft, protects it from the hair dryer’s heat, prevents breakage, and serves hydration.

This is my fave dry shampoo! It’s Pillow Proof by Redken and it has an amazing scent, reminds me of bubblegum. This stuff can add volume to your style in seconds and keep your hair looking freshly done even if it’s been days since the last shampoo.

My hair is naturally straight so whenever I get tired of the straightness, I like a bit of wave. This soy renewal beach spray by Sexyhair is great for oceanic curl. Just apply straight out of the shower on very wet hair and you start to see the wavage after a couple scrunches. The smell of this stuff is heavenly, it is just like sunscreen!

Outfit of the Day: Blush Pink

Alternative Style, Barbie, Forever 21, Hot Topic, Makeup, Marc Jacobs, OOTD, Outfit of the Day, Pink

I wore this attire for Valentine’s day this year since I had a date with my bf. This is a rose petal pink or flesh tone silky dress from Forever 21. There’s very thin coverage in the front so I was creative and inserted pads from a bikini top. Lol. I forgot to tan, ugh, but hopefully the dress doesn’t wash me out too bad. The little black sweater is Lily Pulitzer. Septum ring from Hot Topic, it matched my pastel green pearl neckace but it’s hard to see in the pic. Boots from Forever 21. Marc Jacobs mascara, Dolce and Gabbana liner, and I created the lipstick with different colors.

We ate dinner at Liberty Steakhouse! It was really good, I hadn’t been there in years. I always get the BBQ Chicken pizza, it’s the best. We also had desert to celebrate the romantic night. It was a huge piece of Reece’s peanut butter pie!!

I look lumpy sided in the photo, that’s just the awkward angle of my sweater which was doing it’s own thing apparently. Haha. I hope to post this dress in the summer when I am more tan and don’t have to wear leggings with it. (It actually snowed on V-day night so our outing occurred a bit after the 14th, not that it matters!)

I really enjoyed having my makeup like this. It’s a tamed down version of the matte lip look and caked on eye movement. I decided to take elements of the most trendy makeup but make it more natural and appealing and not so fake!
