IM BAAAAACK!!!

Hey beauties! Oh God, how much i've missed you guys. & my blog as well!
Well, i am back from vacationing! Well, not completely.. I have one more short vacation to go on in my many vacations that have taken up my blogging! Lol, Don't worry though, it isnt that long, i promise. Cause I start school again on August 27th (sadly) /: Haha, but i will be happy to be back in the swing of things, blog wise.

OH! Okay, so before i start just blabbing at the mouth here (theoretically of course, lol), i have something that i would like to address.. While i was gone on the bulk of my summer from this blog, i have gained a few subscribers!!! I now have 31 subscribers, and when i left i was only at like 28, i wanna say, which is completely crazy since i have litterally been posting NOTHING! Not a thing. So, thats pretty exciting. They've commented on my posts and have said that they have loved my blog, so a HUGE Thank you to those of you who have subscribed/followed to me after May! I really, really do appriciate it! <3

Now, time to fill you in a little bit on my life throughout the past couple of months. Im gonna try and keep this kinda short since i will be doing an entire post dedicated to just we i have been this summer and what i have been doing!
So, i know i told you guys that the trip i was taking was going to be the most 3 weeks, and then ill be back. Well, as you can tell, its obviously turned into more than a month! Well, I have been on multiple, vacations, if you will. Actually, when i had gotten to North Carolina, i was there for a little less than a week and then we went up to New York on a whim, cause i was not expecting it at all! Then, from New York my family suprised me and my brothers with a cruise! So, it was about an 8 day cruise, which was fun. Then afterwards, back to the Big Apple for a few days. Then, when i finally came back home, i was only home for about a weekend, then that Monday, my mom wanted to go and visit her cousin, since they'd been begging for us to come down, so went spent the week in San Antonio, until that Sunday, then that Sunday afternoon, we made our way home. Then, i was home for a week, but since i hadnt been home for so long, i just wanted to spend time with my friends, and family in my town, and my boyfriend, since before i had left, he was on vacation and i couldnt really see him! So, i was basically just sleeping in, that week, chilling with friends, shopping, going to the movies, and i went to my bestfriends pool party, and spent the night at her place with a few of our friends. So, basically just living a teenage summer that week. Then, i left, once again. But, this time i had friends with me cause my mom took us on like a mini back-to-school shopping sphree/vacation, and we went out of town for about 2 weeks, to a few different cities, like Corpus, and Houston, and stuff, (cause my moms cool like that) Lol, jk!!

Well, yeah. So, now you guys have the jist, of my summer so far, and on this last upcoming vacation, im going to stay with my Big cousin in Dallas for a week, or so. But, i wont be gone for long, cause i start school soon. (in about 3 weeks). Oh, annnnd , i forgot something major.. I MOVED !!! Im still in the same city, i just moved to a different location on the other side of my city. But, yeah, soo my sistyer(bestfriend) is waiting on me cause shes staying the night, for the next few days and we're about to watch this one scary movie and chill out. So, i'll talk to you guys in my next post .
You Are Beautiful!! Bye(:
P.S. Im sorry if this post seemed a little rushed, but its like 3 in the moring as im writiung this and i have my sister over, so yeah. Also, No, i didnt keep traveling just non stop, like it might have seemed in this post. I did have days where i was home for a bit, but i didnt blog cause as i said above, i just wanted to hang with my friends and have a worry free summer!

BTW; check back in later for the following posts:
End of Summer Hauls (beauty and fashion?)
Back To School Clothing haul/fall clothing
More detailed post about my life this summer
And possibly a back to school series!?

Question of the Day- When do/did you guys start school? Comment below and let me know.

Quick Update: Vacation, Cousins Wedding, etc..

Hey beauties!
So, I just wanted to let you guys in on a quick update. Sort of late notice but I was busy doing last minute arrangements and stuff. But, annnnyways, so my cousin is getting married on Saturday & and I will be going out of town for his wedding since he lives about 2 hours away from me. Most of my family is already here like some of my aunts and my cousin flew in today earlier this evening from Florida! Yay, but the rest will be here in Texas by at least 2pm . Most likely before but I'm not exactly sure of their flight times so yeah. But, as soon my my aunt gets here with my little cousin and grandma, I will be leaving . So, I have to get up pretty early in the morning just to make sure I'm packed properly and stuff cause after that, I will be flying back with them for about a week or 2. Which their probably gonna stay here for about a week maybe a little less.
So, the point I am trying to make is that I probably will not be blogging . Just because this is the family on my dads side and since they all live in New York and North Carolina (most of them) or Puerto Rico, then I don't get to see them often at all! I'm pretty positive I will have Internet connection but I will not promise to blog or post just cause I don't wanna say something then not come through , ya know ? So yeah. There's is a chance you won't see a post from me for about 2 weeks . Oh, and if you do it won't be anything that was super time consuming , simply because I'm spending time with family ! So, that is all. I'm sorry I didn't have any pre planned and drafted posts, but I've been super busy with last minute packing cause you guys know I'm a procrastinator ! Lmao, I actually just got my last minute things done today like stuff I need to buy, but not every single thing is in it's proper place yet & the fact I have to be up kinda early in the AM, and finish organizing is why I can't post tomorrow .


I hope you guys understand and I will talk to you guys as soon as possible ! Bye (:

Rose Gold Loves

Rose Gold Loves


So, todays topic of disscusion is going to be rose gold jewelry . I personally really like them. I love how its such a great alternative to the typical classic gold pieces. I actually really love the look of mixing the two golds together. Lately i have been loving my rose gold watch with a combination of rose gold and a few gold bangles throughout the "set".
A couple of rose gold pieces that are really popular right now, are some bangles and bracelets from this site called Bauble Bar, i believe. If you watch Ingrid or Missglamorazzi on youtube then im almost positive you know what im talking about, since Ingrid raves about them constantly . Lol, but who can blame her, those bracelets are super cute! Then, of course, probably like the most over talked about piece right now, the Micheal Kors rose gold watches! These are a little on the pricey side, obviously, cause they are name brand. These are usually considered a "splurge item" when brought up by the gurus, and i agree. But, i also agree with the fact that they are a great investment! Like seriously! I have been a proud owner of a few of Kors' items, including clothing pieces, for a couple years now, and i love my pieces, and they are in great shape! So, i really do think they are worth the money and am not "just saying this". I actually just placed another order with them a few days ago. Excited for that!
Another piece, that i have noticed and i personally have not heard anyone really mention this, but i came across and fell in love! The Micheal Kors Buckle ring! ( It's pictured in the colloge above.) But, i really am in love with this. It was like love at first sight, Lol. I just think its soo cute and unique and different . And, since not a lot of people have it, at least in my area to my knowledge, that makes it even more amazing. Right?!
THis next product i will mention is also another, yes another, Micheal Kors product and its the Rose gold tennis bracelet, also picture above (at the top right corner next to the diamont stud earrings). This is something else along withthe buckle ring that i think just does not get enough attention and often is over looked by the watches! But, this is super gorgeous to me, and i have always had a thing for a nice classic tennis bracelet! How cute!

Some other products i love are nice are very simple rose gold stud earrings. Since i have my cartilidge pierced, on my right, i absolutely adore the little detail and glam it gives when i just wear a really simple and laid back outfit. Cause if your like me and cannot, under ANY circumstances leave and walk outside the door of your house, even to go check the mail, without earrings then those little simple studs wheher in both lobes of just a cartilidge, mean so much and add so much! Lol.
I've also been likeing stacking rings. Like rose gold stackables. I'll take like 3. Most of the time 2 being just plain rose gold band, and then 1 a ring with a little pop, like my birthstone, or a flower or something cute and place this ring in the middle!


Well, i hope you lovelies enjoy this post.
What would you like to see in my next post? I love having you guys' suggestions so just leave so below and i will talk to you guys later!

Trend To Try: High-Low Craze

What is a high-low dress?A high-low dress or skirt, is just a dress or skirt with a hem line that is higher in the front and lower in the back

This high-low trend has been in the air for sometime now . People all over have raved about this all during fall/winter . Now that it's summer , this is just really blowing up like crazy ! Everywhere you look, somebody is rocking a high-low dress or skirt ! Either way, I think this is a great trend!
But, in this particular post i will be focusing more on high-low dresses!

So, with that being said, here are a few of my favorite high-low pieces !


!. You can get this dress here. This is just one of many lovely dresses that GoJane has available. This dress is one that caught my eye the most. It comes in 2 other colors I believe, but I just completely thought of making a nautical type look with this particular one. The color is gorgeous! And, adds a look of sophistication & classiness, so this can worn for many events, while still being very trendy!
2. This dress is from an amazing online store that I came across, well I can only order online since its international and in the UK :( Which sucks cause they have such cute clothing items and shipping will costs me an arm and a leg! Lmao. But, anyways, you can get this dress here. I love the color, and the way it looks on the model is super flattering. This is a great piece for spring and summer. I highly encourage you to go check out the Warehouse Clothing site! They have amazing items, and if you arent like me and waiting to purchase due to shipping, they are having a 25% of sale for memorial day! Just enter "MEMORIAL" at checkout.
3. This beautiful masterpiece of a dress is from H&M . I love this dress so much! I swear, im actually gonna convince my mom to go shopping this weekend so we can go to H&M and find this dress, and my nearest H&M is about an hour and a half, almost 2 hours away from me! So, you can just get a hint of how much i love this! The leopard print is of course what sold me on this item! Love!
4. Delia's has always been such an amazing, aforddable, great quality store to me. So, yes, you guessed it, this super cute floral dress, is from Delia's . I really love the print on this, and honestly i am NOT the biggest fan of floral items. Like, they have to REALLY be working with something for me to where them. But, this one is really nice and gorgeous to me. And, i love tank dresses for the summer just something like this would be super cute for shopping with the girls, or going out for frozen yogurt with the crew. I'd pair it with some nice stacking bracelets, a cute ring, a girly dainty necklace,and some brown gladiators to top it off! How cute right ?
5. This dress is perfect for you girls that are kinda skeptic on the whole high-low ordeal, or for those who just want something very simple and not very overly "high-lowed", but just want a very subtle high-low hemline and still cute! This is honestly probably one of my favorites of this whole batch! I just adore the tribal inspired design and all the ruffles give it a very girl touch! This would be beautiful with some cute brown or tan gladiators and i would, put a brown or tan belt right where it already sinches in at.


So, guys. This post was gonna be longer. I originally had 10 high low favorites. BUT, what had happened was.. (lol) But forreal though, i had everything written down, like the info on all the pieces, and it had the prices and places, and all, but i lost the paper which is one of the reasons why this post is going up SUPER LATE considering this was supposed to go up a few weeks ago, but i wanted to find the paper for you guys and i obviously failed, but in the future these kinds of post will be way better! Anywho, I hope you guys still enjoyed ! And, i will talk to you all later. Bon Voyage :D

Makeup Reveal: Emma Stone





Hey guys!
One look that really caught my attention at the MTV Movie Awards was worn by the one and only Emma Stone. Her look was very statement noticing , but very soft and subtle . And I love the pop of color chosen for her lips. Very much in season and trend with the coral pop the makeup artist chose!
So, I love this look so much that I thought I would share with you how to achieve this look on your own. This look is created with half drugstore products and half high end. But there are dupes for most. So without further ado, let's get started!


Face- with hopes of achieving a sun kissed like glow as if she had been laying out in the beach the day before, the makeup artist used Chanel le Blanc Sheer Illuminating Base with Revlon Photo Ready Airbursh Mousse Makeup in the shade Nude, which is about 2 shades darker than her natural skin tone, but perfect to give her the sun kissed glow look they were going for.

The Eyes- while incorporating a sorta "classic" or "basic" eye look, the artist used a few blended neutral colors from the Chanel Quadra Eyeshadow in Perlude across Emma's eye lids, then lining her upper lash line in black with a Revlon liquid liner in blackest black. Then the artist threw on a few coats of the Grow Luscious Mascara in blackest black to make the lashes appear very nice and full. Then with the last step of the eyes, filled in her eyebrows with Chanel's Sculpting Eye Pencil in Brun Natural .
Now, for my favorite part of this look, the lips- Revlon's Just Kissable Lipstick in Rendezvous. A very beautiful coral color in order the make the lips the focal point of this look!

And, there you have it! You have successfully completed the gorgeous look worn by Emma Stone to the MTV movie Awards(:

Hope you all enjoyed this post and I will talk to you guys in my next post. Bye (:

P.S. Can we all agree that, her outfit looks amazing?! So cute!

My Week & Weekend: Granny's Surprise Birthday, & Last Day of School(part 2)

Thursday: So, this is what we've all been waiting for . Well, me at least . Because this was my last day of school!
So, this day we only had 2 periods & they were the ones we still had finals in. So two hours each. So this day was the finals days for 2nd period my algebra & 4th period my English . So, basically this day was really exciting cause since we only had 2 periods this day and they were 2 hours each, the high schools in my district went in an hour later than normal & got out like 3 & a half hours earlier! :D So, for my district this meant we went in at 9:45am & got out at 1:31pm.
My finals for this day were hella easy! My algebra final was just 50 definitions/terms. Like matching them to the correct one . So we didn't even have to write it out. We just wrote which number matched which number. So I was real excited for that , especially since I'm horrible in algebra.
My English final was just a group project we'd been working on for about 2 weeks before. So we had been finished and just need to turn it in. So basically we just watched movies. She put in The Little Mermaid . Which just so happens to be one of my all time favorite Disney movies! But, I really didn't watch it. Cause me and a couple of friends were talking about what we were doing after school . Then our Bestfriend Deon was being silly and was saying that we should sing that part from high school musical when they started singing "summer Summer summer!" then we started goofing off taking pictures and 'singing' and all that! It was fun. And, when it was about five minutes til the bell, we did end up singing summer summer summer . Haha, the teacher was like Ohh my goodness. Lol, but she was cool with it since it was kinda a chill day. Lol, then when the bell finally rang we all ran down the steps yelling and screaming summer !
So, we all ended up staying after til almost 2 o'clock just too chill with friends , take pictures , good off & all that . Plus my mom wasn't there right away either.
Then, around 5 o'clock a bunch of us went out to eat for kinda like a "last day of school gathering " type thing. Just to have fun. So my mom dropped off me and a few friends at this steakhouse restaurant that we met up with a ton of other friends, some from different schools that I don't see often so that was pretty fun! Then after we ate , we took more pictures outside of the restaurant , then since the restaurant was across the street from this like plaza , we walked to some stores over there just to kinda chill, have fun, and kill time cause none of plus wanted to go home right away. Lol! But we didn't stay out that long . Maybe just about an hour after we ate.
And, that guys was how my last day of school went !

Friday: Friday I spent most of the day in another city helping set up a building for my grandmas surprise birthday party ! We just went down there to help my aunt and uncle decorate the place . Then my uncle wanted me to help cook something. Then since my mom had the cakes made at this local shop we had to also take both cakes down there to do they'd be there already. We didn't leave there til about 1 in the morning. And then had to drive all the way back home which was a 2 hour drive almost. Lol, so I was pretty damn tired when I got home . (another reason I couldn't make a post!)

Saturday: I had to get up early ! Boo /:
Lol, but anyways, I had to get up at like 10am so I could shower, get dressed, do hair & makeup , so we could make it back down there before 2pm, to make sure everything was set up right, before my cousin went to pick up my grandma .
Speaking of that, that was probably the most fun part ! So, since it was a surprise party , we had to make something up to get my grandma out without letting her know what for. So, we came up with my cousin wanting to take her out to eat for her birthday . So, when my cousin picked her up, since the building is like no where near any restaurants, to not give the surprise away my cousin had to say that his friend was at the building for his mom and they wanted to say hello. So, when they finally pulled up outside we started telling the friends and family to please sit down and get away from the door! Lol, so when my grandma walked in she just dropped! Like she was so excited and shocked! We actually got scared for a minute cause she looked like she wanted to faint from all the shock. But it was such a sweet one in a life time moment! She like really wanted to cry, cause I mean we had family there from different states and her brothers and sisters that she hadn't seen in a long time. She said she was really surprised and wondering what's going on since her sister was there cause her sister never goes anywhere ! Lol. But I was glad that I got to spend that time with her and family. This was seriously such an amazing moment and a beautiful once in a lifetime thing! I loved it!

And, Sunday was just a chill and relax kinda day!

Anyways, so yeah that was my last week of school and my weekend! I hope you enjoyed this post. I really like doing these post because i love sharing some really fun and important aspects of my life with you and i feel like it gives you a little more about me behind all the fashion and beauty! Well, i will talk to you guys in my next post! Have a great Day/Night!

My Week & Weekend: Grannys Birthday, Last Day of School & Summer Vacay (part 1)

Beauties!
Oh goodness! I have a lot to share with you guys! But, I think the only one proper way to start this post off is by saying.. IM ON SUMMER VACATION !!! Yes you guys , I am finally on Summer Vacation guys. Well, technically not actual Vacation yet, since I am still in town and have not really done too much yet. With that being said.. Im gonna let you guys know what has been going on in my life this past week and weekend: May28th-June 3rd.

Monday: So, Monday we didnt go to school because of it being Memorial Day. So, i just kind of sat and chilled. We had a barbeque at my house and a few family and friends came over . Ohhh, and okay so we, as in me, my 2 little cousins, and my aunt, played Just Dance 3 on Xbox and let me just say, do you guys have ANY clue on how funny it is to watch a 50 year old woman (in great, i mean AMAZING shape . Doesnt look a day over 30) play teens in Just Dance? Its absolutely HILARIOUS! I laughed sooo hard that day, probably more than I have in my entire life. Lmao, So, this day was hella fun, and relaxed.

Tuesday: So, Tuesday I had my first 2 finals out of all 7. Which was 1st period biology and my 5th period World Geography . So, in each of my exam periods were 2 hours. My biology final was fairly easy. I believe I did pretty good. For my World Geography final, well.. we didnt even have a final technically. About 2 weeks before school was out we just had a 10 question quiz every other day, that we had took notes on the day before and had the choice to write the note notes or not, and we could use our notes on the quiz. And, of course I was smart enough to write and the notes down, and the notes were the questions that was on the quiz just not in the same order. So, i basically had the answers and passed the quiz. And, my teacher was nice enough to combine all those quiz grades together and use that as our final. It seemed easy guys, but i actually got an 86 for my final. Then, there was actually some people, believe it or not, who did not take notes so they didnt even get that high of a grade. So, for that class on the day of our "final" we just watched a movie. Then the rest of my periods this day were just about 3O minutes long and we studied for other finals and played games and watched movies.

Wednesday: This day was my finals for 3rd period my dance, 6th period my spanish class, and 7th period my Principles of Human Services. So, all of those classes were 2 hours long and since we already took finals for 1st and 5th, we didnt attend those anymore, since there isnt even a point to go after all testing and such. (my teacher even said the smae thing, lol ) So, 2nd period we were only in class for 3O minutes so we just kinda chilled and talked and just had a laid back class period. Since my dance final was a dance my group made up, and we preformed it the week before, well, my group cause due to my pulled muscle and sprainged ankle i couldnt dance ,but i did do an alternative assignment. So, we just took the 2 hours and the coach let us watch my school dance teams Spring Show, since it took up the perfect amount of time. That was really fun though cause let me tell you, my schools dance team is amazing. I loved watching my bestfriends solos, she did great. So, shout out to Mattie, Kadie, & Kelly. Yall did yalls thing on each of your solos and looked like true professionals. Also, shout out to my friend Angelica. Girl, for your first time on the team and not being on that long (she part of the newest additions who just tried out) Girl, you say you looked horrible but you looked amazing out there! Cant wait til' you other upcoming preformances! I Love Y'all <3 Soo, my spanish final was just a 135 question test, with a short essay. Woah, that sounded like it wasnt hard and it wasnt a lot. Well, yeah it was 135 questions, but seriously, it was easy, and when i say that, i mean super super easy and im not just saying that cause i speak spanish but it was forreal though. It was just multiple choice questions, and all most of the questions was just conjugations. Then the essay was SUPER short. We just had to talk about oursleves or our bestfriend, and say the name, age , birthday, where from, where they/you live, and what they like and like to do. So, it litteraly took like 5 minutes and it was only about 4 or 5 sentences! And, 7th period was just a worksheet describing our dream job and responsiblites of a teen.

Thursday: STAY TUNED FOR THE BEST PART! WRITING IMMEDIATELY AFTER THIS.

*So, i decided to split this into parts because its getting really long. You guys know how i am about details, anyways.. I know how boring it can get when your reading something and it just seems like forever and nothing is catching excitement, so i am stopping it at the best part and this will comtinue in part to !

I was gonna do that today, BUT I have seriously been slacking lately & I have finals for the next day and a half since that's all I have left of school, so that's what has been consuming my time today ; a 2 page essay about a book called The Odduessy (spellcheck) that was due last week, & then since I pulled a muscle in my thigh about 2 weeks ago maybe I wasn't able to do my dance final so I have an alternative dance final due tomorrow , which I'm not complaining since I'm half way finished and it's just an "ABC Dance Terms book" !

School, Summer plans, etc

Okay guys. So, I haven't posted anything since May 5th ! So, it's been almost a week & I miss you guys ! Lol.
Well, the reason I have been missing is because of testing . So, don't hate me, lol .
This week, i had rest rest of my state mandatory tests! /: So, i was TRYING to get to bed a little earlier than usual, but that was such a fail ! Lol. But, i am proud to say that i have completed all of my state testing. I feel accomplished, lol. But, the only one i feel i really did pretty good on was my Biology one. Cause, my World Geography was ehh, im still kinda if-y on that one, and then my algebra? Oh my gosh. I honestly dont even wanna see my algebra scores when they come in! I horrible at math! And, i mean, h o r r i b l e ! Lol, but for the most part i feel pretty good, about it. Hopefully i did do good, cause my summer plans do not include summer school! Im planning on not even being here, in texas, for the summer! Lol.
But, while we are on the subjuect of summer, what are you guys' summer plans? I get out on May 31st, but i know that some universities and other colleges are already out for summer. Lucky! Lol.
Oh, guys. Okay, so tell me your thoughts on this. Cause i think its pretty stupid, ha. Okay, so on the last week of school for me, the week starts on the 28th, and like i said, we get out that Thursday, the 31st. But, listen to this, On Monday the 28th we dont go to school at all, cause its Memorial day, i believe. (or is it labor day? Ima feel dumb if i got them mixed up, lmao) Then, Tuesday the 29th we go a full day, and Wednesday the 30th, we go a full day. But, Thursday the 31st, is our last day and we get out early, so its a half day! Basically, i think its dumb how we just go litteraly a half a week! Like, forreal? 2 full days and then half a day! They should seriously just let us out that week before cause it makes no sense! Anyways, enough of my rant . Lol.
Back to summer. Are any of you already out? Hopefully my summer is amazing! Im gonna still be in Texas for the first part of the summer, because of Cheer & my cousin is getting married so we are going to his wedding, which is about 2 hours away from we i live, and we're probably gonna stay there for a few days cause he got a package type deal at this hotel room for family and people coming, since most of our family is coming from another state, most likely we'll end up staying in the hotel and just chilling and "exploring" with family, then from there, im leaving out of state to North Carolina with my Aunt & grandma and little cousin. The only thing im dreading is packing! Cause that means i have to pack for both trips since im not coming back home, im going from the airport there to North Carolina. Im staying in North Carolina for about 2 weeks probably just cause we most likely wont be in NC the entire time, cause my aunt and grandma was telling me how they wanted to take a drive up to NewYork and Virginia cause they know how much i obsessed with NewYork &have never been and then my cousins live in Virginia! So, im gonna be hauling major luggage around lol. Plus, i have the tendency to over pack ! Haha, so we shall see how this goes! I'll let you know if i succeed in bringing less than 10 bags/luggage.

Whoa! This is getting pretty long, so i think im gonna end this now. I will talk to you guys later, bye!

PS. would you guys like me to do a mini travel type series? I think that'd be pretty fun! Comment below and tell me what you have planned for the summer !

April Favorites ! '12

So, its that time of the month again! Soo, lets get started!

BEAUTY:
So, this month i have been love, love, loving, my Lorac products! Okay, so in like the middle of last month, i was in Ulta and i was just looking around browsing, cause when i went in the store, i didnt really have anything on my mind that i specifically wanted except my NYX eyeshadow base. So, i started to just browse when something amazingly gorgeous caught my eye! It was this Lorac 3D liquid luster stuff, and then the lady seen me looking at that, and a few other Lorac products, so she goes over to this display, i was so big i have no clue how i missed it, but she picks up this set, that has every product i was looking at in it! But, for just LESS THAN HALF of the price i would have paid if i have have bought all 3 products seperately! That's crazy! So, i forgot the name of this set & saved the box for this post, but couldnt fint it anywhere, but this set includes, 3 FULL sized items! The Lorac Front of the Line Pro liquid eyeliner in black, Lorac 3D Multiplex lashes mascara in black, and the infamous Lorac 3D lustre . So, im not gonna take to much about this cause this would be so long, so im just gonna do a review in this a little later! But just know i have been in love with all 3 products!

The next product i have been obsessing with is my NYX eyeshadow base in white. I use this every single day overtop of my primer, it double as the same thing but i love how vibrant it makes my shadows appear!

Another thing I love is my Stila lip glaze trio set. The sets in Lights, Camera, Action. that is also the name of the colors, but you can only get these color in this set specifically! But, i have been loving those to just through on and go out the door.

My MAC LipGlass in "Oh Baby" has been a definate favorite this month. I love how it just completes my look.

I didnt really do to much makeup shopping this month so, thats why the beauty list is so short.

FASHION:
(i cant find the exact color i have but, i will be getting these purple ones on Tuesday so whatever)
I have been loving my taupe colored braided sandals from WetSeal. They were only like $10 i believe, but they are actually very good quality and really nice casual but super cute sandals! Love them!

I have also been loving gold this month a lot for some reason, so i have been getting a ton of wear out of my my good leaf earrings. I forgot where i got them, but im thinking it was Body Central.
And, of course all of my other gold jewelry, like my Gold cluster necklace, and my gold bangles!

Again, didnt do to much shopping this month, i have no clue why ? Lol, its soo shocking, but anyways, sorry for the short lists.

MUSIC:
These songs have been on repeat for the entire month.
Boyfriend-Justin Bieber ! (of course i just had to put this in here, like littereally my most played song of the month, lol)
Strip-Chris Brown
Love On Top-Beyonce
Sweetheart-Chris Brown
Weak-SWV

RANDOM:
Now, time for everything else, that isnt beauty, fashion, or musically related.

My iPhone 4s! Like, oh my gosh, you dont know how obsessed with my phone. Okay, just a little disclaimer, i am honestly not trying to brag in any way or form, i am just simply giving you my honest favorite for this month, and my phone just happens to be one of them of course!
Anyways, soo i got my iPhone at the end of last month, like March 30th actually! And, every since then i have been loving it to pieces! If you have any iHome recommendations, or any app recommendations, leave them in the comments below! I will also be doing a whats on my iPhone post soon also!

The next 2 favorites are something that i talked about in last months favorites post, and those are Takis, and AriZonas (the drinks). Im not gonna talk to much on these, but again, i have had these to things in my hands all the time this month. My favorite flavors of the AriZonas are the Kiwi Strawberry, and watermelon. And then i love the iced tea & peach!

Dance Moms! Okay, so i have had a little obsession with this TV show lately! But, i mean, if you've seen it you can not hold me accountable because i mean, its amazing! Now, i am a dancer, so i guess thats why i connect with it so much, but even my friends who are not dancers or anything really like it too! So, go watch it and you'll see what i mean, when i say the show is great! & i still am watching like every new episode of Toddlers & Tiaras (the show i mentioned in my march favorites), but this month Dance Moms has blown it away and taken the award this month!

Another thing, that is super random, but sunscreen. I have been exposed to the sun a LOT more than usual lately (forced against my will, lmao) But,the first time i didnt have on sunscreen, and i got a horrible sunburn all on my chest and arms, so my favorite sunscreen for the moment in the Banana Boat Sports protection kind. This has SPF 110, so thats amazing!

This last favorite is in the same category as my sunscreen, but its Aloe Vera! You guys dont know how much i love this. This have been like my best friend this month! Like, seriously! Lol, cause i started peepling and oh my gosh, it was horribel, but this fixed the problem.

My favorite app of the month has been Instagram & Temple Run ! Every time im in the car and its been a long car ride, i just start playing Temple Run and its just soo entertaining for me, i guess cause im a really competetive person so if i lose, i keep playing until i get feed up with losing, lol. Or until i reach my destination. And, for instagram, i love it. I wouldnt call myself a photogenic person cause doesnt that mean you take good pictures?! Well, i dont know what you'd call me, but i love taking pictures, i swear, i take pictures every single day, so this is like the perfect app for me! Im not that photogenic though, cause i have to take like 30 pictures before i find one i actually really like! Lol,

Well, thats it for this months favorites, i hope you guys enjoyed this month favorite post and i will talk to you guys later!

My Week: School, Parties, Summer Plans, etc.

Okay, guys. So i have had a pretty decent week and a very exciting weekend, so i thought i would share with you guys!

Soo, school this week was pretty good for the most part! All the sophmores and juniors were testing all week except friday, so our schedules were kinda off, but it was pretty fun cause either our classes were cut short and we got a longer lunch, or we didnt got to some of our classes due to other activities.
On Momday and Thursday, due to the sophmore and juniors testing, all the Freshman had to go outside, which leads to the reason behind my sunburn! /: On Monday we were outside from the time school started, 8:45am, til' lunch time, so we didnt attend any of our morning classes, and on  Thursday we were outside again, but for like a hour and a half longer! -___- Oh, and if you are wondering about the the seniors, (12th graders) on Monday and Thursday they didnt have too come to school until after lunch on both days! All the freshman (grade 9) outside doing sctivities and playing around, lol. And the other grades were testing!

So, my weekend, was OMG, crazy! Okay, so Friday i went to a party at this girl thats like a cousin to me, her house. Cause my bestfriend and my 'cousin' are cousins, and it was my bestfirneds party at my 'cousins' house . Anyways, i came home and ate, then around 6pm started to get ready for the party cause it started at 8pm, and i wanted to shower and stuff. Then , my other friend and her mom came to pick me up, then we went and picked up her boyfriend then her mom dropped us off at the party. Then, when we got to the party, my boyfriend called and said he was on his way, so yeah. I was just chillin' and dancing with my boyfriend and all my other friends that i dont get to see very often! The party lasted until 1 in the morning, so when it was 12 i gave my bestfriend her birthday licks cause it was officailly her 15th birthday so i hitnher 15 times, lmao. That was exciting! Then, we all left a little after 1 and dropped off my boyfirend and my friends boyfriend, then i ended up staying the night at her house caus ei didnt wanna come home, so i just came to pack a bag then left again. We did have some incidents at the party, and the cops came but it wasnt anything overboard bad, and the party still continued.
Then yesturday, i went to ANOTHER party, but this was just a party just because. No birthdyas or anything, just a party for fun, at this club, that a group of my friends got for the party. And, i went to that, and that was pretty fun too. But, this party lasted a little later. This one started at 8pm and didnt end until 2 in the morning but a lot of people didnt leave until like 30minutes to an hour later, but it was amazing!

So, as you can see my weekend got pretty live and crazy! I had a ton of fun, but you dont understand how tired i am! Cause after the party last night, i stayed up until almost 4 am on the phone with my boyfriend! Lol, i didnt wake up until 1 this afternoon!

Well, im gonna end this posy right here cause its gettinga little long and i dont wanna bore you guys so ,i'll talk to you guys later . Leave me a comment below telling me what you did this weekend!

My Signiture Look: Everyday Eye Makeup

Okay, so i have gotten a few questions, on my everyday eye look, so here you go!

First i start by applying a primer. I use Urban Decays Primer Potion, (in sin) but any primer will work. I apply this all over my lids, up to my browbone. What this does is make the colors more vibrant and the lasting power a lot longer!
Then, i take my NYX eyeshadow base in white, (I use pearl if I want a little more pop& shimmer) and I apply this all overtop the primer. I really don't need this step , since it basically does the same thing as a primer, but I just like the extra protection & plus it's white so the colors will appear more vibrant!
Next, I take MACs Mythology eyeshadow, and with a flat eyeshadow brush I apply this all over my lids right up until I get where my crease begins.
*tip-for more pigmentation & just more not intense but yeah.. Just pat the color on instead of glide it like normal.*
For my crease, I take Urban Decays single eyeshadow in Midnight Cowboy and with a crease brush I blend this all into the crease, and down to where the lid color ends so it's fully blended.
Now, I'm going to line my bottom lash line . I'm using Maybelline's define a line eyeliner in black, my favorite right now, but you can just use any black eyeliner. Then.. Just line your bottom waterline!
Next, take your favorite liquid liner, I'm using my Lorac Front of the Line Pro liner & just thinly start lining the top lash line & very slightly and very gradually make it a tad thicker towards the end. (sometimes, I'll wing it out, it just all depends on where I'm going and my mood)
And, the last step, one of my favorites.. Mascara! Just take any favorite mascara, Im currently loving the look of layering mascaras, actually 2 in particular so I'm using my Lorac 3D multiplex mascara & my L'oreal false lashes mascara . I use both on the top lashes and just the L'oreal one on the bottom!

And, voila! You have my everyday eye makeup look. So, this look may not be everyday for some people, and that's because the colors I use are very shimmery and glittery . But you can always substitute a matte brown and matte cream champagne like colors for the colors I used to make it more wearable & everyday wear for you! Anyways, this has been my routine for about a month or two now and I have been in love with it! What I love is that it's very different from most peoples looks, since most people would have put a matte darker brown in the crease but instead I did a lighter champagne glittery crease. But it is still wearable and I'm loving this!

Well, I hope you enjoyed and I will talk to you guys in my next video ! Bye beauties(:

UPDATE: More posts!

Okay, so i have been quite busy, which i why there was not any post for about 2 days, cause i usually try my best to post every other day, and sometimes even everyday, if its something im excited to tell you or a really fun post! But, last night, i went to a a party, and let me tell you.. IT WAS C R A Z Y! Like, hella crazy! Soo much happend in one night, omg. But, you guys will hear a little more about that party and more about my week and such in a post tomorrow ;D

I just wanted to let you guys know, that right after this, i will be posting a makeup tutorial, a little later. It's already planned out and everything! So, thats something to look forward too! Also, there are a couple of other post as of right now, that are also drafted and planned and thought out, but just not posted cause im still tweaking them a little. I have a TAG, that im super excited for, that i made up all by myself with my most frequetly asked questions from you guys, and from my profiles on Michelle Phans website and Elle & BLairs website. Plus, just other questions that i thought would be interesting and fun to answer! So, yall will know a lot more about me, behind all this fashion and beauty. Another post i have planned is a cheerleading post, im also debatingon if i should do a series type thing talking about tryouts and all that stuff.  And, i have a ton more on my list, soo you guys know there will most defianetly be more posts!

Well, im off to the mall, with my bestfriend and her mom. Her mom is gonna buy me another case for my iPhone. Cause she has the same Otterbox i want, but in a different color, so she told me she would take me and buy me too! I love her, shes like my second mom! OOH, & if you guys have any recommendations for an iHome. I want preferably one that doubles as a charging station too, leave them in the comments below and i will talk to you guys later! Adios (:

How is your weekend so far ?

Recommendations

Okay guys, so I just recently got my iPhone 4s & I needed recommendations for an iHome docking station thingy !
Yes, I am in school right now but I'm in dance and we ain't doing nothing since this week is testing for sophomores and juniors. Anyways, I have been meaning to make this blog since Sunday, and I kept forgetting so before I forget this time, I'm asking while it's on my mind! Lol,

But yeah, there are like soo many choices and brands out there but I want to know which one is best, so the most recommended one, and ima do some research on all your choices and others but for now I just need some good recommendations cause the other day I noticed while I was in the shower and getting ready that the normal speakers on the iPhone are not that loud at all. At least not for when the showers are running ! And I have to listen to music in the shower ! Lol.

But yeah, this period is about to be over so, just if you have an iHome or know anyone that has a really nice one then let me know in the comments below an I will talk to you guys later ! (:

Review: Nutra Nail Gel Perfect Manicure Kit

 
Okay, so like a week or two ago, i posted a nails of the week post. If you have not seen that, the link will be at the bottom of this post so be sure to check that out. Anyways, it was something i had purchased at Utla a little over a month ago around the time of my Spring Break. Well, i had tried it out for the first time and in that post i said i would review them. So, even though its a little bit late, here is the review, as promised!
 
I actually really liked this little gel manicure kit. In this little kit, it contians everything you'll need for this gel manicure. The contents are: the gel activator, the gel color, and the gel brush cleaner. Thats great, but the only thing is i would have liked for this to have come with a top coat, or some kind of sealant. I mean, i was no big deal though, and i dont think its something that would be a problem for anybody because i assume if you are picking this kit up, you plan to do this yourself so you must like nail polish to be wanting to do a GEL nail on yourself so why wouldnt you have a clear coat. Plus it says the stuff that it contains so you could pick up one ahead of time also.
The application of this is very smooth, and it is nicely pigmented. It gives really nice even opaque coats. It is kind of streaky but it tells you that in the instructions, to prevent that by putting slight pressure when applying it.
It really is true to what it says on the packaging. You really only need to let it sit for 5 minutes for it to be set. Of course its still kinda tacky, but thats normal with most polishes no matter what time it says, so of course do not touch it. You are able to completely move around and do things with your hands but just not anything drastic obviously, just yet. 
This manicure lasted me an entire week without chipping what-so-ever! And, my weeks are pretty intense with dance and i use my hands a ton in just one day, so that was pretty surprising and satisfying for me! Im sure it would have lasted longer, but i just really wanted to change my polish since this entire week i was not able to have any colored polish on my nails due to cheer!
The price is actually really good and fairly decent for this, considering the quality and the contents! I ogt mine for like 9 something, so for about $10, oyu get pretty much everything you need for a gel manicure that lasts a fairly long time.
 
OVERALL:
Is this product worth purchasing? Yes, i will most definately be repurchasing this product, in more of the various color selections they have!
Do I recommend? Well, yes! Obviously, if im repurchasing, i would love you guys to try thid out too.
MY RATING:
I give this product a 9.5/10
 
Have you guys tried this product or something similar? Is there something like this you would recommed i try? Leave them in comments below and i would be happy to try them out! I will talk to you guys in my next post, Have a great day!

Trend Alert: Pastels-Clothing


  



Since pastels are something that play a huge part in the spring time, i thought i would do a little series on all things pastel! Pastel clothes, pastel shoes, pastel nail polish, pastel accesories, pastel everything! So, obviously, from the pictures above you can probably guess that this first post is going to be on pastel clothing. Lets get started..

Pastel clothing is something really easy to rock, but with certain things, it can get a little crazy looking and just be too much. The thing with pastels is that you have to be careful not to, mix clashing colors in a tacky way. But just like regular colors, color blocking can also be done and look totally amazing! When mixing colors though, it is important to go with colors that coordinate. Look at a color wheel to see exactly how you would go about this and get some ideas.

Mint green is one of my favorite pastels this year. In the pictures above, i have a picture that has mint green pastels.
Another one of my favorite pastels, are corals! I have recently been loving the way these colors look, with whites, or taupes and tans, for a very nice crisp and clean look. With the colors been pastels though, it is always super playful, fun, and just very spring-ish!

I have never been one to like the look of pairing like colors on top of one another no matter what the color, so some of my favorite way to wear pastels are:
-with whites, tans, and taupes, for a really chic, but fun and playful look. The are not clashing, and it can be dressed up or down fairly easy.
-with jeans or denim. This way is super cute and casual. Probably my most favorite of them all. This way it can be worn just about anywhere for just about any ocassion. What i really love about this way of styling is, the effotless look you can achieve this way. It doesnt look like you are trying too hard and you look super cute.
-The last way is color blocking pastels. This personally think this way is super cute, fun and playful looking. I love that it can be casul, but you can also dress this look up at the same time. If you style this the right way, i think it can be totally acceptable to be worn for a ton of events. Especially cute for the spring and summer time!

I hope you guys enjoyed this post. Leave me a comment below telling me what you think about this whole pastel trend going on, and what your favorite way to style them is & telling me your thoughts on this mini series? Also, leave me any suggestions you have in comments and i will talk to you guys in my next post! Adios (:

Haul: WetSeal

I have been on a crazy search within the past few months ! I have been searching for some khaki colored skinny jeans like crazy since forever now! ( is khaki even a color ? Oh well.)
I have been everywhere! Old Navy, Forever 21, Dillard's, and my mom even told me to go into The Gap cause she thought they would have them, and they did but, they weren't the exact color I wanted. They were more of a darker taupe color than a lighter tab khaki that I wanted! I was this close to getting them but I just refuse to pay $70 for jeans when I know I can find the ones that I really actually did want!
I am proud to announce that I can stop this searching madness . I have finally found the perfect khaki skinny jeans!
I went on a mini shopping spree yesterday and my sole purpose was to get these jeans, but while I was there I decided to get a few more items. So I thought I would show you all in this haul! Let's go!
P.S. these pictures are going to be at the end of this post because I'm posting off my phone! My laptop broke and its getting fixed and my mom and little brother are using both desktops ! Sorrrrry ! /:

So, the first thing I picked up was of course the khaki skinny jeans! I really like the way they fit and the color is perfect. The only thing is they don't have direct sizes like number wise. It goes xsmall, small, medium, large, and xlarge. But, I am absolutely in love with these and cannot wait to wear them! These were $24.50.

The next thing I picked up was this tank top. It he only reason I got this was because, if you have ever been to WetSeal then you know their Luke year round sale where if you get any thing from the sale or clearance racks then you can get the other item for 1¢. And my mom had picked up this pair of sandals so she was like you can get something if you want cause it'll be just a penny. (btw, that was the only thing in this haul that I did not purchase by myself! But just cause it counted as a sale with her item!) I didn't mind picking it up although I already have 2 in a bright hot pink and a turquoise blue, but these are perfect for summer! They are just something foley and cute I could throw on w/ some shorts.

The next 2 things I got are accessories . I picked up two pair of Ray Ban style sunglasses . The first pair I got are the Wayfarer style . I just got the black kind but they had like every single color you can think of! These are just something super cute and casual to wear during the summer. Also , I love how on the inside it's got a super cute floral design!
The next ones I picked up because right before we went to the store I was on the WetSeal app on my phone and I had seen the shades paired w/ this outfit. And I loved them. They are the Aviator style glasses, but what really made me want these was that the part that holds them up is chain link looking. I thought this was so unique and plus I had been looking for a cute but cheap pair of aviators and wayfarers anyway so that I take these to the beach and stuff like that and won't have to worry about replacing my real ones since they are pretty expensive! Also, I really like the tint these have. It's like a deep plum ombré tint! Super cute !

Well, that is the end of this haul. I know, it was super short. I didn't get a lot of stuff which is kinda surprising but I hope you guys enjoyed and I will talk to you in my next post ! Bye beauties(:

Update: Cheer, Hauls, Upcoming Posts, etc!

Soo, if you have noticed I have not posted anything all week. With that being said, main reason is cheer! If you didn't read my last blog i mentioned a little but about cheer. So, let's go into a little more detail..
Yes. I did have cheer tryouts all this week! I am finally letting cheer back in my life completely once again! It feels sooooo good! To fill you guys in. I did quit cheer about 3 years ago. I needed a break and it turned out to be way longer than intended ! But I have finally decided that I need it back in my life and im happy for myself. I am not gonna get into so much detail just cause I will be doing an entire post dedicated to cheer, and my experiences w/ it.
So, now let's talk about my week. So , Monday was when the tryouts started. Well, they aren't actually tryouts. So, lemme' rephrase that.. My cheer camp was this whole week after school. From 4:30 til' 6:30. And, let me tell you I am EXHAUSTED ! Like really . You do not know how tired I am when that's over with. And even when I leave the school from the camp, I come straight home and practice for about another hour to hour and a half! So, I don't get done with that til about 7:30pm or 8:00. Basically what this "cheer camp" is for those of you who don't know, it is basically just where you go after school if your trying out & the current cheerleaders are there along with the coaches and maybe some gymnasts are there to help you prepare for tryouts and just basically showing you what you need to be at least average on to make the team. So we learn or practice on our jumps, chants/cheers, dancing, positioning, stunts, and the projection of your voice. Luckily for me, I'm almost perfect at almost all of my jumps, cheering/chants voice and positions . Oh and my dancing! So almost everything except my stunting. Which would be like flips, round offs & cartwheels and such. I mean I am pretty decent at them but I really need to perfect them a lot more ! I'm so bent outta whack since I haven't been doing gymnastics in like a yeah and a half! /: crazy! Anyways, I have been doing this all week preparing for tomorrow; Saturday April 21st is the day of tryouts! So I am literally worn out! We only get like one 5-10 minute break, then back to working.
But on the bright side, the dance we are doing is super cute and fun! It's modern hip hop with some ballet and a dash of sass ! Lol, I absolutely love it! But the song we are dancing too is kinda fast pace so it is really tiring , lol. I really like the moves that go with our cheers too!
Tryouts are Saturday April 21st, which is tomorrow. And I have to be up no later than 6:30 am ! 6:30 in the morning! What?! Yes, an i have to be at the schools gym at 8:00am. Tryouts dont end until 6:00pm i think( i have to check again. Lol) I should actually be asleep right now cause its almost 12 am. -___- Haha, but I wanted to give you guys a quick update. The things I do for you guys! Smh. Lol, kidding(:
I am not sure when the next normal post will be up, I mean like obviously next week sometime but I mean I'm not sure if I will be able to post before Monday. So no guarantee that there will be one this weekend, although I will try but no promises because I don't know when I get back from tryouts cause all the high schools in my districts will be at the same place, so it's just 4 high schools but when we get there we each get numbers so no one knows what school is going first until we get there tomorrow. Hopefully mine will be like 1 or 2, cause after we go we can leave and then we just have to come back up there to see the people who made the team ( its gonna be posted on the gym doors) . But, the thing is I have to tryout TWICE, because I don't know which school I am going to yet since I am moving this summer so I am just trying out for either team so that way whatever school I go to I made it either way! So I will be super tired afterward and don't know if i will be up to post , so yeah. But I did go shopping today so if there is a post up tomorrow it will be a HAUL! Excited ? I am! (:
But yeah, I am going to sleep. Gotta early morning tomorrow so I will talk to you guys as soon as possible ! Bye !

*Oh and wish me luck guys ! Pray I make it (: Thanks so much for your patience !

TAG!: Confessions of a Shoe-A-Holic!

Hey lovelies!
So, in case you didnt know, i am an obsessive shoe maniac! Like, its crazy how much i love shoes! Ever since late February, early March, i have been searching like crazy for the perfect spring/summer time shoes. And, main my focus until just recently was a perfect Easter shoe. A shoe that was not to high, or to low. Something that i could not only for for real fancy occassions but also just thorughout the summer, but even after i found that, i have still been on the hunt for a few good pairs of cute, comfy, and stylish shoes . All styles and types. So, i have been looking online and in sotres.
I came across this tag a couple days ago and thought that this would be perfect timing for this. So, lets get started!

1. Heels or Flats?
neither, WEDGES! :D
Lol . Mmm.. depends. Heels if im not gonna be on my feet for more than half of the day or if they're comfy/platformed, Flats if im walking around a ton, or my outfit is casual. But i will where wedges no matter what since it can go dressy or casual!

2. What are your go-to shoes?
Mm, my pueter gladiators.

3. What's your favorite shoe trend at the moment?
Color blocking (or just bright bold colors in general)

4. What's your least favorite shoe trend?
Feathered shoes!! Like, shoes that have the feathers attatched, especially printed feathers! Omg, i can not stress how much i hate that! Cause there were these GORGEOUS pair of gladiators in BodyCentral that had different printed straps, like diff. animal print on each strap, but.. they had printed feathers! Like really? Ugh, i was so mad. Lol!

5. What's your most expensive shoe?
My Jordans? No, wait.. Lemme' check..
My Steve Maddens or my UGGs ? Cant remember but i think my Steve Maddens was like $60 more ?!

6. What are your most wanted pair?
Christian Louboutins! You know the imfamous sparkley ones that they have sooooo many dupes for? Yeah those. They're like more than $1,000 though /: Oh, and these pair of Steve Madden jeweled sandals, that i seen when i was on vacation!

7. What's your most embarrasing shoe story?
Uhhm i dont really have one!? Lol, i guess this'll count. Okay, so this one time when i was in elementary, like 2nd grade, it was picture day, and i had this cute little pink skirt and shirt on, with my, "Cinderrella glass slippers", as i called them, (lol dont judge, i was a little dork as a kid. haha, they were really glass like slippers though, just not a heel, but had a glass platformed bottom and it had gold accents and everything! ) Anyways, i would be walking through the school and all and i didnt trip, but like it was almost like falling. My ankle would always wobble to the side and stuff. Lol

8. Pick a shoe and share a story.
Uhm.. I'm not really sure of one ?!

9. How many pairs of shoes do you own ?
Waaaaay too many to count ! Lol

10. When was the first time you wore heels ?
Uhh.. Well I'm 15, so probably around anywhere between 11/13-13

11. How much do you spend on shoes ?
Well, I think shoes are apart of those very few items worth splurging on. I mean, if you've had about the same shoe size for a minute now, and your around my age give or take some years, then you can be able to wear those shoes for the longest time; but only if they are good quality! So I do not have a problem with splurging on a nice pair of shoes a few times! So, to answer the question it just all varies on the shoe type and quality and stuff like that. I take in account for a lot when shoe shopping !

12. Where are your favorite places to buy shoes?
Aldo, Steve Madden, Finish Line & Foot Locker (for my Jordan's and such), Journeys, etc. just to name a few.

13. Have you got a pair of shoes you regret purchasing ?
Sadly, yes . When I was younger, like 3rd or 4th grade, I was shoe shopping with my mom & I seen these amazing pair of wedges! They were just perfect cause they had a floral design, they were a pinky coral color and it was spring time! Can you say it was destiny ? Lol, anyways the heel wasn't that high either. But, to be honest , I actually only wore them like, I can count on ONE hand how many times I wore them. I still have them too, but of course I can no longer wear them!

14. Show your favorite pair of shoes .
I don't actually have a picture of them on had right at this moment, but I will have one up as soon as possible .
But, they are these Nike brand shoes that I had custom made by my moms best guy friend! I love them!


And, that was the last question. I hope you all enjoyed this tag. I will talk to you guys later in my next post! Have a great day! Bye (:

TAG, You&apos;re It: Top 5 Style Icons

Hey guys. So, I have been going TAG crazy lately & just have not had the time to actually do much. Like seriously, you guys should see my list of blog post I'm planning. Has a ton of tags! So, I thought this one would be short and simple but really fun at the same time! So you'll kinda get to learn a little bit more about me, in the fashion department and where a lot of my inspiration comes from!
So I'm gonna name the person, then say why I love them as my style icon. Oh and btw guys; no specific order just cause I can't choose who I love the most . Lol ;)
Let's get started !

1. Christina Milian; I absolutely love this girl! She is an amazing actress & has an out of this world fashion scence ! I love her style .
2. Kim Kardashian; okay. So, you can not tell me that her style is not amazing! I mean, I know she's very controversial but, even I know people that don't like anything to do with her, say that at least one of her outfits are gorgeous! I like her so that's a plus(:
3. Kimora Lee Simons; omg, I can not stress to you enough how much I look up to her. Like seriously, she is one of my biggest idols in the world. She is on the top of my list of people to meet! Okay. I know I said I wasn't going in order, but even though she's number 3 on this, she is really número uno ( I just don't feel like rearranging and restyling lol) but honestly, I could do an entire post on why I love Kimora, and why she is such a big inspiration to me but a lot about her will be in an upcoming post of mines, soo we will just end it at, she has an amazing style that I would kill for!
4. Raven Symoné; okay, so I have been obsessed with Raven since I was a little girl. Ever since her days on her Disney channel TV show That's So Raven, I have looked up to her! Her style was amazing on the show, and even today I still keep up with her as much as possible and her style is is bangin' at the top! I love her.
5. Jessica Jarrell & China Anne McClain ; okay, so I know I kinda cheated on this but I couldn't choose just one. So, even though China is younger than me, who says you can't look up to someone younger?! She just has a super beautiful style to go along with her sweet little personality (:
Jessica just has an amazing fashion taste all around. I follow her on instagram and she has the most beautiful clothing choices and everything. I get excited when I see another picture from her!

Okay, so I TAG all of you guys to do this tag cause I would love to know your style icons and the people you look up and get inspired by style wise!
Do we have the same icons ? What do you think about the people I choose? Leave your answers in the comments below!

Nails of the Weekend

Okay guys. So, I'm back with, yes, another nail post! I'm sorry, but I've just really been into painting my nails a ton more than usual ! I mean, I almost always have something on my nails, but now I'm changing the colors and stuff like crazy. I think it's because I'm about to get back into cheer leading, & you cannot have any colored polish on your nails. It's a safely hazard violation cause you can get your pulse through your nails so if I was to pass out or have a serious injury and they can't get pulse any where else they have your nails.
So, since my tryouts are Monday, that makes this weekend my last to be able to wear colored polish. I mean, we can cause its just tryouts but they prefer you not to. And since I'm a reoccurring cheerleader they expect me to know this already and just not wear it. So I don't want that to be a strike against me so I'm just gonna do a clear polish since I have to have something on my nails! Lol.

Anyways, lets get into my polish. So at the beginning of this week, I put a post up of my gel nail manicure. You can go check that out if you have not already. But , I took that off yesterday right after I got home from school and repainted them. The pictures will be below!
I have been really into doing 2 colors lately, like main colors and accent colors. So, I chose to do a pink color palette . Both polishes are the brand Nicole by OPI Kardashian Kolors collection. I used Kim-Pleately In Live & All Kendalled Up. Kimpleately In Love is the main color, and All Kendalled Up is the accent. I really have been liking doing 2 accent nails so, on my thumb and ring finger I have All Kendalled Up which is like the perfect matte hot pink color! And the other 3 fingers I have Kimpleately In Love, which is a milky baby pink color with like seafoam green glitters.


Well, I hope you guys enjoyed this post. Do you have a nail trend that you've been loving lately? What about any specific nail polish that you think I should check out? Leave them in a comment below, and I will talk to you guys later. Bye beautiful(:

Nails of the Week !

Hey guys. So I recently just painted my nails, and I thought I would share with you because the concept is actually really cool!
So, I have a Gel Nail manicure on that I did myself last night . Yes, I did my own gel nail manicure. And, I only cost me $10! It's a kit that comes with everything you need & hardly no wait time !
I don't want to get to detailed cause I am going to do a review on this little kit, explain the contents, and all that good stuff .
The color I have is a super pretty tuqoiuse-y blue color . In the picture attached it is not showing up true to color in my opinion. The picture makes it look a shade or two darker than it really is. It's a gorgeous bright blue!
So far, I am loving the manicure. It does look a little "ratchet" lol, but that is because I did them last night right before I went to bed cause I was bored and I mean, what else is there to do at 1 in the morning?! Haha. But the thing is, I didn't think that I was gonna end up being tired and go to sleep. So it kinda got the imprint of my sheets and pillow and I just reapplied a top coat this morning & it turned out okay. So I'm really liking it so far but I'll see how it goes the rest of this week and I'll let you guys know in the review, most likely this weekend!

I hope you guys enjoyed this post and I will talk to you guys in my next post.

PS. I know it's late but, I will be posting my March favorites and post that by the end of the week!

March Favorites &apos;12

Okay guys. So, its April! I know that this is super late, but I was not gonna leave you guys hanging. So, with that being said.. That means its time for me to announce the products that i have been loving and overusing for the past month. Lol. Can you believe its already April ? Seems like just yesterday was Christmas, or New Years. Or, is that just me? I feel like its just me, just cause the fact that my birthday is at the beginning of year, and i'll be 16 next year. Lmao, yeah, its just me! Haha, okay so enough of my rambley intros. Lets get started with the favorites.
The first category will be Beauty, then fashion, and so fourth..

BEAUTY:
My first beauty favorite for March just has to be My Urban Decay single eyeshadow in Midnight Cowboy. I got this during my little "before spring break shopping spree" at Sephora. It just caught my eye. I have been using this almost everyday since then! It's a really pretty shimmery taupey champagne color with silver glitters in it. It also makes for an amazing highlight color when you want that extra something to add to a night out neutral eye, but still pop. I could do a tutorial if you'd like. Just let me know!


The next product i have for beauty is , an Essie nail polish in Turquoise and Caicos. Im pretty sure everybody has at least heard of this polish, non than less, seen it. But, if not, its just a super gorgeous turquoisey blue color that is just perfect for the spring time! Its actually on my nails right now!


I have also really been loving, my ELF Hypershine lipgloss in the flavor Flirt. I got this around the same time i got my UD Midnight Cowboy. I have been using that thing like crazy. Those are great. They are not sticky, or drying. Very moisturzing and has really good pigmintation and color payoff for it being only $1 ! Mine is a really pretty like bubblegum pink type of color. I love it for spring! (picture below, i couldnt find a swatch of this color by itself. All, the photos that came up were comparisions and showing that its a dupe for a bunch of colors, but the ELF is on the left & the one on the right is a stila in guava)



Thats all the beauty favorties for this month . Not that many shockingly. Anyways. Lets move onto the Fashion portion of these favorites.

FASHION:
I have to say, that a major thing this month is my black runched bodycon skirt! I just absolutely love it! I got mines from Wetseal, for $10.50 ! Thats a steal for these kinds of skirts. And, they are really high in demand kinda so thats great that Wetseal has them for not that much. They have plenty of different colors, and patterns. From neons, to solids, from tribals to nauticals! And, the best part is, they are amazing quality! I got mines back in January, and have worn it multiple times. This month i started wearing it like crazy which of course means haing to wash it, and it still looks brand new. No loose seams or frayed edges or anything! And, my black one is so versatile which i why i can get so much use out of it. Crazy! You should go check them out. (couldnt find a picture, but you can just go to the website)

Another thing i have been getting tons of wear out of, are my cuffed dark wash short shorts. I forgot where i got them, cause they're from last year, but they are amazing. Super comfortable, and i know the weather is kinda if-y, but i live in Texas and the weather has been very humid and hot lately so i got away with shorts before spring ;)
(since these are from last year and im not sure of the exact name, i cant find the exact ones i have, so these are similar from the same store! Aeropostale)


This next thing, is a piece of jewelry. My silver diamond encrested initial necklace. The first letter of my first name is an 'R', and its on a really tiny delicate chain. Kinda like the chain a dog tag would be on, but smaller. And, the 'R' is really small, and delicate, wuth diamonds all lining the letter. So girly and its silver so it goes with everything. (i actually coud not find a picture of an 'R', but this 'A', is the exact same one but just a different letter!)


Next thing i have been loving for this month has been my gray cardigan i got from aeropostale around Christmas time last year. Wait, not 2011, but the one before that so 2010. Lol, i got confused. Anyways, im almost posistive you can no longer get this item, but there are a ton of gray cardigasn out there! But, anyways, i got this around Christmas 2010, on Christmas break, when my bestfriend was visiting from Kansas (at the time she had just moved there that summer: july '10) and we didnt plan on going to the mall that day, but we needed to pass time before we met our friends at the movies so we went into Aeropostale and seen this right away and loved it. But then we put it back and looked at other things since we didn't really plan on buying anything but we ended up going back to it and thought it would be too cute if we got the same exact one so that we'd remember this and could we it together . Anyways, I have just been wearing this a ton lately . Over tank tops and bright bold colors and all . Love it!

The last thing I have for this category is not any one item in particular but more of a generalization of multiple items . That is The color blocking trend . Now that it is spring time, you will certainly be seeing a ton of this on the runway and people rocking this trend a lot more. I have already been seeing a lot already! I'm about to do a post on this trend so look forward to that!

Now on to everything else that isn't beauty or fashion related!

RANDOM:

The first thing in this category is going to be my marie Claire magazine! The March 2012 edition obviously . The one with Eva Mendes on the cover! Yeah I think that the main reason I have been getting a ton of reading in this month is because i have been doing a lot more traveling than usual in March being that my spring break was this month. I mean, I had an entire 3/4 hour ride to my destination and back! So my eyes were glued to a page the entire way( when I wasn't sleeping if course. Lol) I am also gonna be doing some post inspired by this magazine so that's something to look forward too!

AriZona's ! Omg, don't even get me started on how amazing these are. I have been completely obsessed lately! My favorite flavors of the moment are, the iced tea & mango, iced tea w/ peach and iced tea w/ raspberry, and the kiwi strawberry and watermelon juices. Amazing!

This next thing is very random and i know for a fact that its very controversial but it's Toddlers & Tiaras! Omg you guys! This show is amazing ! Now I know people have different views on this. Some think it's awful and some are just as crazy for it as the pageant moms on the show. But this coming from someone who is a pageant girl and has been in competitions and familiar with this stuff for the longest, I have to say I love it! Don't get me wrong though, the moms do get crazy competitive and make it out to be all about them sometimes, and then sometimes it looks as if the kids don't even wanna do it or can't even enjoy it cause of the parents going to extreme measures such as, major dieting, harsh criticism, uncomfortable clothing, spray tans and buttloads of makeup! My experiences are not like that and I enjoy it. Overall I love the show though.

Now this isn't not the healthiest choice of snacks, but I have been head over heels for TAKIS this past month! If you don't know what takis are, they're like chips basically. But, they don't look like it. It's just corn chip rolled up and has a ton a hot chili pepper sprinkled over them. They remind me of teeny tiny tortillas cause that's what they look like! My favorite flavor is fuego , and as far as I know, they only have 2 maybe 3 flavors . I forgot the other flavor though. Around where I live in Texas these are really big, like everybody is a fan! They are super duper spicy, like a million times more flavor and spiciness than hot Cheetos! So if you can't handle those then you most likely cannot handle takis ! And my favorite thing about these are that I can eat these alone by themselves without my tummy hurting! If I eat hot Cheetos by themselves, I don't know why, but my stomach always ends up hurting so I always have to eat them with something like a sandwich or just anything but not alone! You can get these at the convenience stores/gas stations and they have them at Walmart too! They are only a couple of dollies for the big bag and the small bags at the convenience stores are like $0.99. If you have not had these your missing out big time !

Now for my favorite music of March!

MUSIC:
These songs have been on Repeat all month!

YG- Relax .
YG- Say Stop
Chris Brown- Strip
Iyaz- My Hood
Beyonce- Love On Top <3

*pictures coming soon*

I hope you guys enjoyed this favorites post. Leave a comment below telling me what your favorites were for the month of March and I will talk to you guys later! Bye (:
