Some of my current Loves...

I have so many favorite things in my life, so I decided to do a post of some of them. Here's just a few of my current loves: 

My tree! Our tree before this was puny, and I couldn't stand it anymore. It's 6 1/2 feet and pre-lit, for a grand total of $38. Gotta love Walmart!

I had my necklaces hanging on one nail. Needless to say, getting one off the nail to wear proved to be very time consuming. I found these key ring hooks at Target. It cost about $6 and life is just a little bit simpler because of them.

I have a sick cupcake obsession! This one is called Party in Your Mouth and it lives up to its name. It has a Nutella center, and I have a weakness for chocolate hazelnut. The Cocoa Bean Cafe  has made Thursdays a good day (this cupcake is a Thursday flavor).

To put it mildly, I have complicated skin. It's dry and oily, flaky and greasy and can't forget the breakouts (though, they are improving quite a bit). To counter the harshness of my acne medication, I needed something more than just my moisturizer. The Make Up Forever HD Elixer came with a sample set I bought at Sephora, and I fell in love after the first use. It's not really anything special, but it helped keep the flakiness at bay when nothing else seemed to work. Now, it's part of my daily routine. 

Sugar Lip Treatment is the best lip moisturizer ever! A little on the pricey side, but my lips have never been so grateful to me. 

I have never loved another mascara as much as this one. Maybelline's the Falsies mascara is amazing. It lengthens, plumps and curls. I will never buy another... (well, for now...)

I'm loving my blue scarf from Forever 21! It was about $6 and it has become a staple in my wardrobe. The shade is vibrant and is great for me because I tend to wear more neutral colors. Doesn't it just pop?

More to come!

Outfit of the Day - Angel of mine...

This week has been crazy! I don't really have any finals, but I have final projects/papers/presentations. Two classes officially done, two more to go...

P.S. I went to the mall last night, and I have learned that I cannot walk out of Forever 21 empty-handed. It's a sickness...

This is what I wore for the first part of the day. I had to present in a trade show later on and changed into business attire. I apologize for the quality of the photos. I didn't realize they weren't good until after I uploaded them.

My favorite part has to be the shirt, though the jeans are a close second. The flowiness of the shirt is flattering for every figure and pairing it with tight skinny jeans give the look a slender effect.

Love the detail on the jeans (sorry it's not clear)!

Though this isn't necessarily an everyday look, it is still versatile. I would wear this on a night out with the girls or the hubby, but you can make it work for anything.

When I wear this again, I'll redo the post.

Outfit of the Day - Cozy, lazy and cute...

Today was one of those days that I struggled to get out of bed and tried to justify skipping school. Alas, it's the end of the semester, so I can't afford to miss anything. This is how I came up with this look. It's comfy, didn't take a lot of effort and still looks good. I love those looks!

This look works because it's warm, casual, stylish and you can wear it anywhere like school, your children's play dates and even running errands. You can dress it up or down, according to your needs. My favorite part is the sweater. You can wear it with anything!

Sweater: Forever 21

Shirt: Wetseal

Jeans: Bohme Boutique (local)

Boots: JcPenny

Necklace: Forever 21

Welcome!

I'm not really going to introduce myself since you can just read the about me section, but I do want to let you know a little about the things I enjoy.

I love makeup! I don't have a favorite brand, but some of the ones I like include MAC, Clinique, Estee Lauder, Lancome and Covergirl. I watch Youtube video makeup tutorials. Some of those girls are so talented and helpful. I was completely clueless of how to do makeup until I discovered them, and now I get compliments on my makeup all the time. They are awesome! They also have fashion tips and hair tutorials. So check them out and let me know what you think. Here's links to the ones I subscribe to and really love:

As far as fashion goes, I'm not as knowledgeable. I can appreciate good clothing choices though, and I think Forever 21 is one of the best stores ever. Hautelook is also a great place to get not only clothing, but makeup, kids stuff and even home decor. Through them, you can get amazing deals on pricey brands. You have to join, but they send you daily email to let you know about the sales going on the next day. You'll be amazed at the sales, I promise.

As far as home things go, IKEA is the best place! I have a slight obsession with that place. I'm not allowed to go by myself because my husband is afraid I'll bring the whole store home... and I probably would. They all kinds of furniture and home decor for such a great price. They have something for everyone. And it's fun! Have you guys ever seen 500 Days of Summer? Then you know what I'm talking about. When you're there it's hard not to play! If you haven't, you should.

I'm hoping this blog will be a great tool for me to express myself and connect with others that share the same interests. If ever you want to share something, please do!
