shopping sprees

Some new things I got recently! There are more.. believe me however I haven't had the time nor the energy to organize them all let alone photograph them!  The hair products are all really top notch I purchased at CVS... lol with my card I get so many discounts my savings amount is more than my spending amount for the year.  My blonde hair is now stylishly nourished :)

My new coin purse is posed upon one of two (2) body con skirts I recently acquired which once I figure out the perfect top to wear with them... they really are hard to style classily I've found.  Best options are cropped bustier/bra tops such as the new pink one I got from a consignment store!

pastels + michael kors crossbody bag

I used to say my favorite color was yellow, however lately I've totally been getting into all pastel purplish and pink shades.  I have bleached my hair three times since going blonde, and I think one more session will lighten my hair enough for my to ombre the ends a pretty lavender shade (which I will achieve by diluting  the Manic Panic shade "Purple Haze" with white plain conditioner).  Until then I will satisfy myself by buying everything (that I can reasonably afford) that is pastel or even neon versions of the pastel sunset shades that I've recently grown to love so much.  

Up until I purchased that Revlon eyeshadow quad (which works best with a slightly damp shadow brush) I have been wearing strictly gold and copper tones on my eyelids.  The first Urban Decay Naked Palette was my dream eyeshadow palette & still is, but it's always nice to experiment with more affordable drugstore shades.  I have been wearing a light lilac lipstick also by Revlon that matches as well :)

I acquired this beautiful Michael Kors leather cross body bag at a consignment store, for $38.50.  My favorite types of bags are real leather with gold hardware, so I am absolutely in love with this (it is also my first Michael Kors piece..) even though the size isn't really that practical for my daily activities.  

My top has no identifiable brand, unfortunately, as I purchased it at the same store and the tag was just gone. I love it though-it ties so it can be a balloon-esque crop top.  The necklace, which I wear everyday, is from Romwe :)

I have more new items I can't wait to post about really soon but for now go check out Romwe's super ridiculous sale! Up to 75% off already, PLUS enter the code "CLEARANCE15%" for an extra 15% off if your order reaches $70 or more. Plus, they already offer free shipping!

temporary tattoos

I've been thinking lately how I only have one real tattoo (the bow on my wrist) and I love how I have just that one.  It's simple and I definitely don't think I'll ever regret getting it simply because I just LOVE bows.  I have always loved them and I always draw them and think about them etc. hahaha. Anyway, temporary tattoos have been a thing for a while but DCER has made them chic :).  Not only chic because they are from France but also they are great designs and very high quality.  I myself got a barcode that is featured in my outfit of the day on lookbook & also got the diamond tattoo that I have yet to apply.  Any ideas as to where I should? :)  Tattoos from DCER can be purchased here

sunset leggings

When I got my last order from romwe with the backless shift dress, I was dissapointed because they forgot to send me the sunset leggings I ordered. Instead of being a neglectful company, however, a package came a few days later with them inside :) I was so excited I immediately put them on. Their patterned leggings are really smooth and comfortable I just want all of them =^.^=

Click the picture of the leggings to buy-they're on sale for just over $20!

Also check out this sale on Romwe.com towards the end of August :)

romwe nude backless shift dress

buy this dress here

This is probably the most elegant article of clothing that I own.  I feel like a princess in this pretty silky fabric dress.  I have never worn knee length dresses though so I'll probably hem it when I move my sewing machine to wherever I move soon... lol.  

& I listed my pink studded leather jacket on my etsy :D.

Other than that, today was a bit slow.  This week included a lot more recuperation from stress than I could essentially afford, but we'll see where life leads me next hopefully not somewhere too hard to get used to.

denim bustier top

This is me today in the beautiful warm sun rocking my new Romwe bustier top and necklace :).  The shorts I cut from old pants that I never wore a while ago, and I must say they are very versatile.  The PERFECT pair of shorts, for this outfit, I believe are for sale at Urban Outfitters right now, their BDG line has a plethora of "cheeky" high waist shorts decorated in a multitude of ways that I am eager to get my hands on.  If not for the $70 price tag and my current situation I would've snapped them up already!

I got new lipstick! It's cheap (Wet n' Wild $2) however I love it and it stays on through a couple soft drinks.

I also bought the Maybelline Dream Fresh Beauty Balm, and I have to say its not as effective as it appears to be.. sort of a disappointment, but the packaging is cute.

~new shoes~

I got new shoes yesterday & am very happy with them :) I think that they are the most flattering of a lot of heeled boots or shoes out in the fashion world today.  I've been realizing that I have a few clothing items in my wardrobe that I simply wear ALL THE TIME, such as that studded purse, my circle sunglasses (which I leave on top of my head during the day-all day, and get a headache.. :/) and, not pictured, my H&M leather jacket. It's just a classic.  I believe that these new boots will become a staple of especially my fall wardrobe as well!

Again, I've added some new things to my Etsy.. :)
