Back to Basics.

Hello fashionistas!

 I felt like I was going back to basics with a button up top over a simple beaded tank-top and my go to (worn out) flats. It was a very laid back outfit. 

I went with very simple makeup, just mascara and brown eyeliner on my eyes. The normal face makeup, light on blush and bronzer. A pale pink lipstick and I was ready to go. 

Top: New York and Company Blue top: Liz Clairborne Tank-top: Aeropostale Jeans: JCP Shoes: Payless Bag: Jessica Simpson Jewelry: Forever 21

This bag has quickly become my favorite, hold everything bag! 

It's a pretty timeless, black purse. Or duffel with the amount of stuff that I carry with me! 

Sometime this week I think I'm going to do a "what's in my bag" post.

I had a busy weekend spent with my best friends! Loads of fun. On Friday I spent the night with my best friend, Lily. On Saturday she came over and helped me reorganize my closet. After that I went over to the other best friends' house. We went out to dinner and had a sleepover. Which is always so fun!  This morning we watched the movie Friends With Benefits and it was hysterical. Then we went to the beach, it was beautiful outside Perfect temperature and sunny. 

My sister leaves for a week for a school trip to DC. Only child status acquired!

Have a great week!

Fashion and Makeup - 9/21/11

Hello fashionistas!

Here's what I wore for school yesterday, probably my favorite outfit of the year (thus far)!

My hair actually held ALL DAY! I used my Sebastian Shaper Plus hairspray. I love that stuff.

It's a must have for anyone who lives in humidity.

The heels were surprisingly comfortable, I actually really love these shoes! I took them off once I got to pottery, thank goodness for a 6/7 class!

Top & Earrings: Forever 21 Jeans: GV Tanktop: Aeropostale Shoes: Target Bracelet: local store

Here's some close ups of my makeup.

These were taken after a full day of school, just the eye pictures, not the other ones.

The products I used to create this look were:

UDPP 

-Urban Decay's Buck all over the lid

-Urban Decay's Naked in the crease to soften Buck

-Urban Decay's Smog on my upper lashline, then Urban Decay's Darkhorse over Smog

-Urban Decay's 24/7 Whiskey liner on bottom lashline, with Darkhorse over it

-Covergirl's waterproof Lashblast mascara on upper and lower lashes

-Urban Decay's Naked to fill in my eyebrows

I thought the browns on bottom really emphasized my blue eyes. 

Do you guys have any color tricks you use when doing your makeup? 

Another busy school day! I'm super tired and I have a good bit of homework to get done. 

I'm now president of the Cameramics (ceramics and photography) club! Pretty darn excited. 

I also got a 88% on my history test, so I'm pretty happy about that. 

This week has seemed SO long, I'm really ready for it to be over. 

Happy almost Friday! 

Lots of love!

Woman In Black and Cheetah

Hello fashionistas!

I have a quick outfit of the day for you all. I wore this to school today.

I was having such a good hair day today..

 I got so much volume in my bangs and I used this texturizing cream and it just gave this great finish! 

Mom is trying say that my hair is turning brown, but it is seriously blonde. It's just a darker, golden shade. 

Do you agree?

 Top: Target Tanktop: Aeropostale Jean: GV Shoes: Forever 21 Necklace&Earrings: Mom's 

Just a little school outfit for you all. I'm surprised I haven't done an outfit of the day with this top until now because I wore it a lot over the summer! I like the way it flows. 

I woke up this morning feeling horrible. My throat was so sore and  I couldn't swallow. I immediately made a cup of hot tea and drank it while I got ready. Then during 2nd period I leaned over to tell my friend something and all of the sudden my voice was GONE. Luckily it mysteriously came back during lunch, I hate not being able to talk. I'm just so chatty! 

Lily came home with me and then we picked up Ethan and went to this great ice cream place 45 minutes away. It's right across from the beach so we walked on the beach and chatted. 

I feel like I'm going to crash any minute now, I just feel so sick. I hope I get better this weekend. If I don't post, you'll know it's because I'm not feeling good. 

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Blue Ombre

Hello fashionistas!

Happy Monday, I'm just glad that it's over! I'm seriously jealous of all you UK dwellers who had a bank holiday, I had to get up at 7:30 this morning for school. Oh, so fun. 

Here's what I wore.

Top: H&M Tank top: Aeropostale Jeans: GV Shoes: Bealls Necklace: Forever 21

This top actually isn't mine, I borrowed it from my best friend Lily. Thanks girl, I loved it so much! 

When she wore it to school last week I was like "I HAVE to borrow that, it is too cute!"

I love trading clothes with the best friend. Spice up my wardrobe! 

I teased my bangs/top layer and pulled it back with bobby pins and then took a big clip (coincidentally one I took from Lily eons ago) and put the rest up. What do you guys think?

Not much new going on at school. I was planning on coming home and taking a nap because I didn't have any homework for my first 4 periods, other than math homework that I finished in class, but when I got to english she assigned us a take home essay. Needless to say I didn't get to nap. Such a let down. I have a quiz in French tomorrow and a quiz in algebra 2 Wednesday.

I'm currently watching Bachelor Pad, but I think I'm going to watch the Lying Game (which I am DVRing right now) when this is over. Then I'm hitting the hay!

Hope you have a fabulous day tomorrow!

Lots of love.

Outfit of the Day 8/24/2011

Hello fabulous fashionistas!

I've got a little outfit of the yesterday for you all. 

Top and Earrings: F21 Skirt and Shoes: Bealls Blazer: Target Tanktop: Aeropostale Bracelet: Vintage

I had been waiting to wear this blazer for a couple of weeks, so I just had to wear it yesterday! 

Melissa ended up buying the same one in black, blazer buddies! 

This week has seemed like a month crammed into 4 days. It's been quite a busy week. School has drained the life out of me, so much work. I got a 95% on my english quiz, so pretty happy about that. 

Came home and have done some homework, did majority of it at school today.  Only 176 more school days to go... 

I'm SO happy tomorrow is Friday! I'm hoping Lily and I can get together Saturday. The French Clique and I are going to Barnes and Noble/Starbucks to help one of our friends with a Fall Fashion assignment for her journalism class. I love fall fashion, it's the best. 

Hope you're all well!

Blog Birthday + Outfit of the Day + Eye of the Day

Hello fashionistas!

I wanted to show you what I (almost) wore to school on Friday.

Top: Kohls Tanktop: Aeropostale Skirt: Coldwater Creek Shoes: Aerosoles Earrings: mom's 

I was going to wear this to school on Friday, but it was not very comfortable, so I threw on jeans instead. The jeans were a good call because I did a ton of walking around that day. If I had worn the skirt I probably would have been tugging it around all day. 

Here's my eye makeup that I wore. I've been doing this for the past couple of days, quick and easy! 

EYES

• UDPP
• Urban Decay's Sin all over lid
• Sleek's original I-Divine palette purple all over sin, lightly patted
• Stila's Road to Radiance travel palette's "City Chick" in the crease
• Urban Decay's Virgin as my highlight
• Maybelline Colossal lash
• Stila's Lash Visor

 I took my final exam today. I'm officially a sophomore! Well, except for the fact that I have to take the final part of my pre- AICE biology exam on Friday, but I'm not worried about it. I went home with the best friend Lily and hung out at her house all afternoon/evening. 

Here's a breakdown of my exam grades:

English: 100% (highest out of everyone, very pleased with myself)

Pottery: 100%

Geometry: 80% (I'm happy with that, seen as I thought I was going to not do well at all on it.)

French: 80% (I'm also happy with this because the final exam was SO hard.)

I don't know what I got on my geography exam yet, but overall I'm pretty pleased with my grades.

I just wanted to tell you guys that today is my first blog birthday! I'm so happy to have gotten to 'know' so many of you, you're the kindest people. I have had so many wonderful opportunities brought into my life from blogging. Plus, I get to interact with you all on a daily basis! I remember when I got my very first follower, I had been 3 weeks into blogging, I was out at dinner, waiting for our table. I pathetically checked my Blogger account to see if I had any 'hits' on my blog, when I saw that I had a follower I was SO excited! By the next day I had ten followers! Blogging started as a hobby to do over the summer, now I don't know what I would do without it! I love blogging so much, and I love you all so much. Thank you for being such amazing followers, every new follower I get the happier I am. All of your comments bring smiles to my face and really just warm my heart. If you ever have any questions or requests, drop me a line or comment on a post. I love you guys!

Where Do I Begin?! Update and OOTD

Hello fashionistas,

whoooo, what a week it has been (and it's only Wednesday)!

Let me give a run down of my week so far! 

Sunday: I went to a Bon Jovi concert with my mom and aunt that night. You all know my love for him! It was so great, he's amazing! We didn't get home until 1 am, and due to the fact that I was all jazzed up I didn't fall asleep until 2:30 am. Oh, Monday morning was r o u g h.

Blazer: Kohls Shirt: New York and Company Tank top: Aeropostale Jeans: GV Shoes: Aerosoles Clutch: Susan Faber Earrings: Mom's
Sorry for the fact that I'm talking! This was the only picture I have of my outfit.

Excuse the fat face pictures, bad angles. Also, excuse the triangle of paleness between my brows, I got a lot of sun (a little burnt) and had sunglasses on. So now I have that stupid pale spot!

Monday: I dragged my sleepy bootaaayyy out of bed and into the shower (I normally shower at night though). I was so tired! After making it through the school day I went home with my friend to do a trial run on her hair and makeup for prom. Then, we went and got our nails done (well she got her nails done and I got a pedicure).
Then I got home and did my geometry homework and studied for my French test.

Tuesday: I went to school and took my surprisingly easy French test. I'm glad it was easy because I made note cards, but I only studied for a half hour! Then I went to my best friend Lily's house and chilled for a couple of hours. After 'chilling', I went to her spring guitar concert (which was great) !
I didn't get home until 9:30, then I made my other best friend Melissa brownies because today is her birthday.
Before going to bed I looked over some biology stuff because Wednesday was the first pre-AICE biology exam.

Wednesday: I went in early to give Mel her brownies and card and have a little celebration.HAPPY BIRTHDAY MELLY!  Then came death (aka the exam). Biggest shocker of the day, the exam wasn't that hard! There were only a couple of things I was really stumped on. This one was apparently the easiest out of the 3 we have to do. Monday is the hardest (so scared). After the test I went to my normal classes and did work. I also finished my teapot project in pottery today! Once I got home it was more homework and studying. I also helped mom do some cleaning.

Now you're all caught up in my life! Sorry for ignoring the blog lately! My life has just been go, go, go nonstop! Tomorrow I have a geography test to study for so, I probably won't post anything. 

I hope you're all having a great week!

Love you guys!

Black and White

Hello fashionistas,

I wanted to show you what I wore last Tuesday. 

Top: American Eagle (Marshalls) Blazer: JcPenny Shorts: Gloria Vanderbilt Tanktop&backpack: Aeropostale Necklaces: Forever 21 Shoes: Payless Headband: Claire's 

I was feeling very 'summery' so I decided to wear these shorts! I also dug this tanktop out of the back of closet, I hadn't worn it in eons! Sorry for my backpack and lunchbox being in the back, we were in a rush!

I have so much homework tonight! Biology, geometry, and geography. I also have to study for a geography test that I have to make up on Thursday. Busy, busy, busy!
I'm off to go do my homework!

Hope you liked!

She Smiles With Her Eyes and Laughs With Her Soul

Hey fashionistas!

Sorry for not posting the past couple of days, I was on a mini vacation with my mom!

We went to North Carolina for three days to see Bon Jovi (pictures to come!) so, I've been busy!

I wore this on Friday when I went shopping with Melissa and my family.

Yes, these pictures were taken in the doctors office that morning! My mom had an appointment and I needed some outfit pictures and the doctor took forever!

That's the reason I look so washed out in these pictures.

Hope you don't mind the silly pictures!

Shirt: Forever 21

Tank tip: Aeropostale

Skirt: Coldwater Creek

Shoes: Aerosoles

Sunglasses: ?

Ring: Forever 21

I had slept in braids and curled my hair in the morning, then took my top layers and teased them and pulled them back with a clear elastic. Then I just put the rest of my hair in a ponytail.

Very simple.

I probably won't be posting tomorrow because I have a big biology test that I need to do well on, so I'll be studying away!

Send some good thoughts my way on Friday!

Hope you're well!

PS: The title has no real rhyme or reason, I just came up with it on the fly!

I was thinking about America's Next Top Model and how Tyra always talks about smiling with your eyes!

Hehe(:

This Is the Story of My Life & I Write It Everyday

Hey fashionistas,

sorry for not posting for almost two days (the horror!) , I've been busy.

Let me give you a little update on my life.

So remember how I told you my guy friend and I were arguing? Well I was the bigger person and apologized and we put it behind us, although things won't be the same due to what we argued about but, I'm not going to get into that!

I had two quizzes and a test today, so I was studying it up yesterday.

I'm pretty sure I didn't do well on my geometry test, the teacher wasn't there for the past two days and then he gave us a test on two sections he didn't teach us! *sigh*

My other quizzes were super easy though.

We have a four day weekend, so today is my Friday!

I'm going to have a five day weekend because of the Bon Jovi concert my mom and I are going to see, I won't be back at school until Wednesday!

Tomorrow one of my best friends (Melissa) is going shopping with me and my mom, Nana, and sister. We're going to Forever 21 and Costco.

My mission is to find a cute top to wear to the concert on Monday!

Mel hasn't been to the giant Forever 21 near us yet, so this will be quite an overwhelming experience! Even though I've been multiple times, I still can't get over the vastness of the store!

Almost 120,000 sq feet of Forever 21 !

Anyways, ramble over! Here's what I threw on before I walked out the door.

Shirt: New York and Company

Tank top: Aeropostale

Necklace: Forever 21

Cardigan: Forever 21

Shoes: Old Navy

Jeans: GV

This is such an unattractive photo of myself!

Oh, the necklace says "LOVE" but, the LO is on top of the VE .

Somedays when I don't know what to wear I just throw on layers of the same color, so today was very black on black. Or as the French would say "noir sur noir."

Just a wee bit of casual French!

Here's Nana with me after dinner!

I really need to get more sleep, my eyes look so tired...

Oh and this is random but, I wanted to show you the vase I've been working on in my pottery class, it's way different now then when I last talked about it.

Warning, it's very abstract. I finished doing the lines/swirls on it today, but this photo was taken yesterday. Also the bag in the opening is just to make sure it kept its form.

This is it looking from the back.

Casual side view.

A lot of people said it looked like broccoli or cauliflower. Some think it's a tree, or a person's head.

I think it looks sort of under the sea-ish.

I guess it is open to your own interpretation. I just kind of embraced it's wonky form! My teacher loves it, she helped me get it to lean like it does.

Right now it's drying out, so I'll be probably getting it fired on Wednesday or Thursday.

I'm thinking of painting it a light blue or teal.

After somebody threw out that it looked like cauliflower I decided against a cream color!

Oh, another random side note, I got a super cute denim pencil skirt today from Coldwater Creek (which I call Oldwater Creek...) but, this skirt was too cute!

For Valentines day my mom bought me a purple plaid jacket from there, I'll show you guys soon!

I hope you're all having a fabulous day! Happy almost Friday!

PS: This is the song that I got the title from, it's Bon Jovi and it's called... Story of My Life.

My friend Mel and I adore it, we shortened it to 'SOML' !
