Other Outfits I Love

You can never go wrong with an outfit as simple as this. My closet is filled with skinny jeans and slouchy peasant tops so I'm not lying when I say that this is my everyday style. A chic scarf or layered necklace is the perfect touch to an oversized top, studded earrings and purse give this outfit a touch of glam, and cute oxfords complete the look by keeping it relatively casual for a walk around the nearby mall. For those like me who don't have a style, it's always fun to mix different styles together in a look like this (bohemian, punk, preppy). Another thing you must know about me, I prefer black skinny jeans over denim since black is always classy and has a bit of an edge that I usually go for :)
I call this the Kate Middleton look. England's future princess seems to always pull off this look but other celebrities such as Taylor Swift, Reese Witherspoon, and Miley Cyrus have also worn similar outfits to this as well.  Another one of my everyday outfits, I think this outfit is the perfect touch of girly and classy.  What better way to show off your feminine side than with a fun-colored scarf and trendy handbag? Tall/Riding boots with jeans are perfect for this winter season and with stores filling up their shelves with one of this season's most famous accessory (the knitted sweater), they become the perfect combination!  Urban Decay's Naked is also looking pretty good up there in the corner ;)

My Favorite Outfit

this outfit is the absolute best and most perfect outfit of the season. i dont know any other outfit that is just as versatile as this. it can be casual and dressy, for meetings and for a night out with friends. the 5 main items to this outfit are also all coincidentally the most sought after pieces for any budding fashionista: black tights, high waisted shorts, sheer, solid-colored buttoned-ups, blazers and the current "it" bag - the satchel. if you are ever debating on an outfit, this should always be an option!

Last Post for 1/1/11 !

Me and my boyfriend, Kevin, have been together for almost 2 and a half years o_O Hahaha! I don't even know how that happened but whatever. So anyways, our 2 and a half year anniversary is on January 14 and we got each other the cutest gifts:
The one on top is the watch he bought me, a La Mer watch, and the one on the bottom is the one I got him, a Flud watch.  We ordered them online and we got them for so cheap! La Mer watches are usually around $100 (mine is $110) and Flud watches are about $90 (his was $90) but being part of the site's newsletters, I got an online code that cut the price of both watches almost in half! We only paid $54 each for the watches
-_____- SO CHEAP! Hahahaha! I'm too happy at the moment cause I've been wanting that watch for so long now and I'm finally going to get it! :) We both don't have watches so ... yeah, that's why we're literally jumping for joy cause now we don't have to take our cellphones out just to check the time (fail). Also, who knew that there are other kinds of watches out there other than those ugly G-Shock and ceramic/plastic band watches? Hm.

The One Thing

that you must know about me is my obsession with Forever21.com. Do NOT confuse it with the store Forever 21 because in all honesty, that store just gives me a headache.  Whenever I step into that store, I get so dizzy at the massive chaos of clothes that are just spread out, piled on, stuffed, whatever, all over the dang place. On the other hand, their website, Forever21.com is a different story. It is organized, perfectly laid out, and has all the stuff that is inside the dump known as Forever 21.  For all you anti-online shoppers I understand that the one thing that sucks about online shopping is the shipping.  However, Forever 21.com offers free shipping on all orders $50 or more which is a pretty good deal compared to other trendy online retail places such as Charlotte Russe, Urban Outfitters, and American Apparel.  Also, Forever21.com has new stuff added every single day (just like the store) and for those who live near the LA area, your orders usually come in within a few days :D You all are probably thinking that I'm some super loyal employee being forced to brag about my job or something, but seriously, their online site is amazing.  It's cute, cheap, quick, and, during certain seasons when they have online deals, definitely worth every penny. Get in on it now!

Excited :)


So my mom is going to buy me this^ and I am crazy excited for it! On the day of Christmas Eve, my mom gave me money and said, "Sorry I couldn't buy you a gift to go with it this year. I'll buy you something after Christmas".  Of course I knew I had to take advantage of this moment since she hardly ever buys me anything so I thought long and hard about what I wanted. The one thing that I planned on buying for myself after Christmas was liquid eyeliner and Naked by Urban Decay.  The main reason why I want Naked is because of the wonderful nude eye palettes and most importantly the little eye primer that came with it.  However, being a newbie to the makeup world, I really needed something/someone to help me figure out how to put it on correctly. After looking online at Sephora and Ulta I came across this Lorac value set which comes with basically everything I could ever want: liquid eyeliner, eye primer, 3 eye palettes, a double ended brush for application, mascara, and an amazing makeup tutorial guide. I feel like it was made especially for me because I really need EVERY SINGLE ITEM in that whole set hahaha! I'm going to Ulta tomorrow so I'm hoping it will be there *crosses fingers* :D
