Pretty in Purple

Hello fashionistas!

I thought I'd share an outfit that I wore to school on Monday with you all. 

My parents had new carpet put in that day, hence why there wasn't any carpet in these photos! 

Top: Forever 21 Blazer: New York and Company Tanktop: Kohl's Jeans: Belk Shoes: Target Purse: Jessica Simpson Earrings: Old Navy Necklace: Tiffany & Co. 

I was in a mood that made me just want to dress up. I've been waiting to wear this shirt and that day just felt like a good day to wear it! Paired it with my white blazer to offset the purple. Dark jeans to balance out the brightness and my favorite heels to finish it off. 

Very simple makeup. All I used on my eyes was Urban Decay's "Whiskey" eyeliner on lower lashline and mascara on my upper lashes. I wasn't feeling like putting on a bunch of makeup. Sometimes I need simple and that was one of those days!

Notice the hair twist?.. It's becoming my favorite hair thing. 

Today I have no exams because my pottery is a 6/7 class. My mom and I are going out to lunch at my favorite restaurant in town, Harry's. Then I have an eye appointment to get my perscription checked and because I'm almost out of contacts. 

Five day weekend for me because of Martin Luther King Day on Monday and a teacher planning day on Tuesday. Woo! 

On a random note, got a 96% on my history exam. Very pleased! 

Have a great weekend!

Loads of love!

Comfort, Style, and Warmth

Hello fashionistas!

The past couple of days had been nice and warm.. Until this week when the weather went chilly! Well, chilly for Florida. I'm not complaining, I quite like the cold, brisk air. 

I opted for a warm ensemble.

A simple blue, long sleeve shirt, subtle, pinstriped blazer, and a new pair of jeans featured in my last haul. 

I wanted to keep warm so I tossed on my snood and added plaid socks to go with my flats for a pop of pattern. I was pretty warm! Comfort, style, and warmth. Those are three great things for a winter outfit, but if I can't fit comfort into the equation then that's always the first one to go! 

Top: Old Navy Blazer: New York and Company Jeans: Belk Shoes: Me Too is the brand, my dad bought them at Costco ages ago for Christmas so I doubt they're still there Snood: Mom made it Necklace: Tiffany & Co. Ring: Forever 21 Socks: Target 

My latest thing is twisting my bangs over. Makes it look like I put in more effort in than I did. Also, sorry for looking so tired. This was the first day back from winter break and I was exhausted! Sleep troubles and waking up early do not mix! 

Also, the lipstick I'm wearing is MAC "Speed Dial" with Covergirl's Wet Slicks "Red Riot" gloss over it. 

This weekend I'm going to be studying like a madwoman, midterms start on Tuesday. So stressed! Trying to not let it get to me. Wish me luck! To combat my stressed feeling I put an order in for January's My Glam bag! I'm so excited that I finally got through; they'd been out of stock every time I've checked. Can't wait to get it! It seems like a better version of Birchbox, I hope it was worth the $10 I spent. Based on last month's bag I think it will be. 

Loads of love and I hope you all have a more exciting weekend than I am. 

I'm going back to studying for my chemistry midterm.

Makeup and Outfit of the Day 12-22-11

Hello fashionistas! 

I went down for a quick visit to my aunt's work with my mom and sister this morning. 

This is what I wore for makeup and for my clothing. 

The clothing worn in the makeup pictures were pre me getting dressed. I was wearing my diy galaxy shirt when I took these. 

Face

MAC matte creme 

Benefit Boi-ing Concealer

Maybelline Purestay Powder Foundation in 'ivory'

Physcian's Formula translucent powder

ELF Contouring and Blush duo (bronzer only to contour)

Maybelline mousse blush in 'Cloud Wine' 

Eyes

Urban Decay Primer Potion in Sin

Kitten eyeshadow mixed with a pale, shimmery mauve shadow all over my lid

Urban Decay's Buck in my crease 

Urban Decay's Virgin as my highlight

Covergirl's Lashblast mascara

Lips

MAC Speed Dial lipstick

Covergirl Red Riot Wetslicks lipgloss

I'm convinced that this lip combination makes the perfect, holy grail hot pink lip!

I didn't want to overpower this lip combo, so I stick with a simple pink and brown eye. I think a smokey eye would look good too; for a more formal occasion than just running out and about!

Hair photo.

I quickly ran my straightener over my hair (just to smooth out any lumps from sleeping on it). Then I took a bit of the top layer and pushed it up with a small hair clip. Slipped on a beaded headband from Forever 21 and I was done. Very easy and it dressed my hair up!

Top & Blazer: Kohls Jeans: Gloria Vanderbilt Shoes: Target Bracelet: local store Necklace: Tiffany & Co. Bag: Ivanka Trump Headband: Forever 21

This was just a very simple, quick outfit. I thought pairing the black with my cream bag created a classy effect. 

Hope you enjoyed!

Happy day before Christmas Eve!

Wear Green, Go Green.

Hello fashionistas!

I wanted to share the outfit I wore on my actual birthday to school. Are you all tired of all the birthday related posts? I promise this is the last post until next birthday! (;

Dress & Blazer: Target Tights: CVS Shoes: Ross Tank top: Costco Necklace Tiffany & Co Bracelet: Forever 21

I bought this dress a week before my birthday and decided to just save it to wear on my birthday. I don't know if it's just me, but I love wearing something new on my birthday (or any special day). I feel like it just puts a little more pep in your step. Is it just me?

I debated on wearing my black, pinstripe, boyfriend blazer, but I decided that this boyfriend blazer looked better. Sometimes you can go overboard on black.

Meant to share this tidbit with you all, my group project/song for history got put into the 'save' folder! She liked it so much that it's going to be used as an example next year; we were all really proud of ourselves.

Tomorrow I'm going in early to finish up my chemistry test, wish me luck because I'm going to need it!

On Friday I have a dentist appointment, so no school. Winter break starts early for me! 

Loads of love!

Sweet Sixteen Gifts

Hello fashionistas!

I thought I'd share all of my birthday gifts with you all. 

I want to say thank you to everyone for everything. I love my friends and family so much!

TIFFANY'S NECKLACE!!! 

My parents, Nana, aunts, and uncle all went in on this for me! I was so so so excited when I opened the box and saw that perfect blue box just sitting there. I've been wearing it nonstop since I got it. If you'll remember a few months ago I wrote a post on here about how I wanted one, well now I have one

This bag is by Ivanka Trump and I had been lusting after it for a few weeks and when I saw that Lily and two of my other friends got it for me I was incredibly happy and excited! 

This bag is from another one of my friends. I absolutely LOVE this bag! It's such a statement color, like "BAM, I HAVE ARRIVED!" 

Not only do I love this box, but I also love what's inside! My aunt, uncle, and cousin got me this plush, purple robe and a trio of Secret Wonderland Bath and Body Works products. The robe is so warm and fluffy.

My mom's good friend (and my honorary aunt) got me all of these movies. A movie for each year (16) and each movie is starting from 1995-2011. I'm going to be watching a lot of movies over winter break!

My great aunt got me this picture frame. I can't wait to hang it up over my dresser! 

One of my friends bought me this, I wore it today. Too cute! 

Another great aunt got me this necklace. I love the beautiful bronze colors swirling about this piece. It's such a statement necklace, I'm still trying to figure out what to pair with it! 

My honorary Nanny bought me this bracelet. I love how girly it is, very me!

This wasn't actually a gift, I bought these while I was out shopping; I just thought I'd include them.

My mom always buys my sister and I ornaments every year. She says she does it so that when we move out we'll have ornaments for our own trees. 

My mom's best friend bought me these nail polishes. I currently am wearing "Wocka Flocka." It's the last one on the right.

Melissa bought me this candle because we both love candles! She also got me this delicious Kenyan coffee from the farmer's market and a Forever 21 giftcard. We're shopping buddies! 

My pottery teacher got me this because I had been craving a carmel apple ever since she'd talked about making them. I was so touched when I walked in and she had this for me, she also put hot pink sprinkles on it! She wasn't able to make my party because of a conflicting engagement. 

My former biology teacher came to my party and she got me this Sephora mirror and a gift card. 

She knows me so well! 

My mom put together a box of pedicure goodies. I think she was tired of me taking her stuff!

Mom also bought me these adorable flats. 

Sephora's beauty insider birthday present. 

My sister got me all of this because I love warm vanilla sugar and Lindor chocolate! 

Again, thank you all so much; I love you all! 

I'm off to go get ready for tomorrow. I have a chemistry test and an english test/essay tomorrow. It's going to be a busy, long week before winter break.

A Blue Box and a Hefty Price

Hello fashionistas!

Today I made a decision that I would be saving my money for something beautiful, something that comes in a blue box, and a hefty price tag... I know you all know exactly what I'm talking about, a piece of jewelry from Tiffany and Co. 

via

I think I want this piece. 

$165

via

Or possibly this piece.

$115

via

Which one do you like?

I'm going to be saving basically all of my money for a couple of months, but it will be oh so worth it. 

Of course this cash saving starts after I go back to school shopping, but I will not be making an unnecessary trip to MAC... No matter how badly I want Woodwinked and Star Violet.

Do you have any Tiffany pieces? Did you buy them or was it a special present? 

Wish me luck on my saving!
