(Overdue) OOTD: Typical Rainy Day Outfit

Last week it was super rainy and gross, but I snapped a pic of my typical winter rainy day outfit. I love, love, love my rain boots! Sometimes when it's rainy I'm kind of glad cause it means I'll get to wear them! :)

Boots: Ralph Lauren; Jeans:Forever 21; Scarf:Thrifted; Coat:Delias (a long time ago...haha)
I wore my grey long sleeve t-shirt from Old Navy under it. It was rainy...and I wanted to be comfy! :)

Anywhoo...sorry it took a few days for me to post this one...I'll try and keep up better next time! :)

NOTD: Essie "Navigate Her"

After an ice storm, the sun was out and it was a pretty (warmer) day. I'm SO ready for spring! Which is why I painted my nails in my favorite spring nail polish of last spring: Essie's "Navigate Her."

I love the creamy formula, and two coats really is all you need. It's a great color too, and I'm sure I'll be wearing it just as much this spring as I did last! :)

OOTD: Super Preppy for a Winter Day! (Jan. 17, 2013)

So we totally had a snow day yesterday and it was awesome! Down here in Louisiana we don't get those that often and it consisted of gross freezing rain and sub freezing temperatures. Ick. I basically stayed home all day in my pjs and watched movies. Today, however, it's still gonna be pretty chilly but when I got up for class today I was feeling quite explorative and decided to try some new stuff with my clothes, here's the result:

Button Down: Marshall's; Sweater: Charlotte Russe; Jeans: Gap; Boots: Kenneth Cole; Necklace: Gifted; Belt: American Eagle

Here is it with my coat and school bag, I meant to wear my black peacoat but I couldn't find it in my rush out the door...so I ended up looking super colorful and preppy! haha.

Coat: Forever 21; Bag: T.J. Maxx (But it's Vera Bradley in "Barcelona" I think)


I really like this outfit, I love classic/preppy styles as well as more bold and edgy ones. I feel like my style kind of rides between the two. One of my new years resolutions is that I'm really going to try an experiment more with clothes and makeup! :)

Beauty Haul (Sephora and Target)!!

Over break I did a little bit of shopping, and I picked up some things that I've really been wanting. Here's what I got!:

I picked up two foundations, one is the Covergirl foundation that I love! I needed a second one, and the other is the Maybelline dream foam that I've been wanting to try.

I also got another Sephora by OPI nail polish that I've been looking at for quite some time in the shade 212-Sephora (NOTD on that one...), as well as another birthday gift (they sent me another for some reason...lol).

The lipstick I got was by Covergirl in "Hot," I've been wanting this color for spring and I figured since I had a gift card, I'd pick it up. Here's a swatch:

And finally: I got the Lorac Pro Palette, just by swatching them I can tell I'll love the shadows! It comes with 16, the top row is matte and the bottom row is shimmer, and all the colors are gorgeous and highly pigmented. It also comes with a little tube of primer! :)

First Row: (From left to right) White, Cream, Taupe, Lt. Pink, Mauve, Sable, Espresso, Black

Second Row: (From left to right) Nude, Champagne, Gold, Lt. Bronze, Pewter, Garnet, Deep Purple, Slate

That's all in this haul! Keep a look out for more OOTD's, NOTD's, Tutorials and more! :)

NOTD: Sephora by OPI - 212-Sephora

I've seen this polish on the Sephora website, and had my eye on it for quite a while. I thought the color and the sparkles in it looked really interesting, and they really do. It's a dark brown/black with copper sparkles along with multi colored glitter I think. It's a really beautiful one of a kind polish and I'm really glad I got it! :)

OOTD! - Chevron Stripes and Riding Boots

Hey guys! Sorry I've been kind of MIA lately...my new years resolution is to blog at LEAST once a week...so I missed last week, but I've been SUPER busy! Here's a quick outfit of the day with some of the stuff I got with Christmas gift cards and such!

The high is 73 today, which is kind of ridiculous considering two days ago it was below freezing! I got this shirt in just a few days ago since ordering it from Gap and this is the first time I get to wear it...yay! The boots are Kenneth Cole, and I got them from Piperlime, the jeans are an old pair of Forever 21 jeans, the belt is an old belt from American Eagle, and my timepiece necklace from H&M.

Look out for a NOTD with my new nail polish and a beauty haul! :)

CHRISTMAS HAUL!!! :) (What I Got For Christmas!)

Hey guys! Last Christmas post of the year, it's been a busy day but I figured I'd find the time to do this post! I LOVE watching and looking at hauls so I thought that this would be a great haul to do so...lets get started! :)

As this is a beauty blog...I'll start with the beauty stuff! I got TWO things of mini nail polish, one is the Sephora by OPI Tinsel Town set...which is awesome, and the other is from ULTA and it's the OPI "Stuff My Stocking" set. I've just started to collect mini polishes, and I've found that they're great, cause I love painting my nails, and can never go through a full size, so I can try out all the pretty colors at a fraction of a cost! I also got one full size OPI polish in "Steady as She Rose," which is a light pinky-lilac color.

I also got some Yankee Candle stuff...I LOVE Yankee Candle. I got a small jar candle in "Farmers Market," which is great! Cause I needed a new candle for my nightstand and these are the perfect size for it! I also got a set of three Yankee Candle air fresheners that I can hang in my car or at my desk at studio (as an architecture major I get a desk of my own in studio...yeah...I'm that cool.)

As for clothes: I got a cute pair of PJ pants and some boxer shorts as well as some fuzzy socks (LOVE), and a black scarf from my roommate none of which are shown here...and I also got a gift card to Banana Republic...which is one of my favorite stores along with GAP (Luckily I can spend it there too!)

While Christmas shopping, I asked my mom to give them my e-mail at Sephora so I can get the points if she shopped there. Well, since it's my birthday month, they gave her my little birthday present so she put that in my stocking. I thought that was cute and funny. I also got a tube of MAC mascara...which I've never tried but have been wanting to. I also got another bottle of my favorite perfume: Chanel Chance, which I've been running out of! I also got a body was set with lotion, shower gel, bubble bath, and a new lufah!!! YAY! :)

As for electronics, I got a digital picture frame (which ruined my boyfriends birthday present idea...hahahah), but I'm super excited about it! I also got a blender from my roommate...she knew I needed one after the last time we tried to make homemade icing with a hand cranked mixer...And I got a new speaker system for my iPhone! Which is sweet cause I've been wanting one for my apartment...since the computer speakers aren't all that great when we wanna jam out!

One of my big presents: A TIFFANY'S BRACELET!!! AHHH!!!! I've been wanting something from Tiffany's for so long! It's so timeless and classy!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE my bracelet...that is all.

My other big present...which is kind of dorky...lol: a wide format printer. What is that do you ask? A printer that can print pages up to 13" by 19" (we use 11" by 17" a lot in architecture, and that is about twice the size of normal pages). I also got an Office Max gift card for ink and paper (I already got the paper which was like $20 for a ream!!) I also got a thing of label dots with my gift card to write the names on the bottom of my mini nail polishes since they don't have the names labeled. :/

And the last two things, which I don't have a picture for because they kind of don't exist yet: My car fixed! Someone hit it in the door and left a huge ugly dent...and me being a cheapskate have been driving around like that for about a year so my dad is getting it fixed for me for Christmas and a desk hutch for my studio desk! My boyfriend is making me a nice desk hutch for my printer and books so I don't have to clutter up my studio desk with that stuff. awww! :)
