Stripe Day

Hello all! I'm so sad that it's snowing out. I was hoping that we wouldn't get a white christmas this year. I know it's weird to hope for that because I live in the Midwest and it's impossible for the snow to miss this region. I should move somewhere warm.

Well, just doing my OOTD for today.





And my polyvore version.

Also, I bought some jewelry over the weekend. These are very nice colors and maybe use them for the spring.

Alrighty. Well have a wonderful and safe day. =)

It's that Pop of Color

I’m usually an all-black attire type of girl when it comes to fashion. But I always try to add a pop of color with my attire just to make it different every now and then.

Gold studded Top-Charlotte Russe
Peachfu; necklace-Charlotte Russe

 My outfit of the day is

Pink Blazer-Charlotte Russe
Black Chiffon top- Paparazzi
Boots-Charlotte Russe

And my Polyvore version. =)

 

Have a wonderful Monday. =)

Chunky Sweater & Tights

Hello all! Just wanted to post my OOTD on Saturday.

Honestly, I sort of went out of my comfort zone to create this look. I bought the tights a while back with the thought of trying something new and resulted in this. Haha. This chunky sweater is extremely comfortable and keeps me warm. I bought it simply for the color and comfort. You won't see it in this picture but it has two cutouts towards the neckline which makes the sweater a little different. Below is the photo collage of similar items into my outfit. They are little pricey but I couldn't find the exact item on polyvore.

Alrighty, have good day and stay beautiful.

Green with Envy

I haven't blogged for a while and thought I get back to doing so. With the holidays right around the corner, I'd take a couple of minutes to update on what's going on in my so dull life. Besides work and always shopping for the newest shoes, I've just been taking a step back and think about my future plans. So far, I'm still a student on a very long break. Focus is still undecided and still chasing a very BIG dream. But at least I'm equipped to chase this dream in style. =) Hopefully in a few weeks, I'm able to execute my ideas and put it into play for 2013 because I think I've done enough planning. I need to carry out the plan. So wish me luck. =)

Going back to the title...I'm currently obsessed with Emerald Green. On a hunt to find a dress in that color for the holidays. Any ideas where I can find one? Let me know. Alright

muahs and stay beautiful!

Gold for You.

I have been extremely crazy about gold. Can't wait for fall fashion. :)

Kat Von D's Lipsticks & OOTD

Happy Father's Day! Just got back from my lunch with the family at a Thai restaurant. I'm so full that right now, all I want to do is sleep but I'm not going to because it's not healthy! Today's my grace day so I can eat anything I want just as long as I don't indulge myself in it. And I think I did pretty good. :)

Well anywho, I bought these Kat Von D's lipsticks a while ago..maybe before Christmas...so a LONG while ago and never got around to opening them. So I did over the weekend and tried them out to see which one goes well with my skin tone and what didn't. I was surprised that most of them worked out fine and hopefully I'll be able to wear them in the future.

OOTD: Top//Shorts//Shoes//Bracelets: Charlotte Russe

Memorial Weekend

Hello! All I did over Memorial Weekend was eat, eat, and....oh yea eat. I ate so much that I'm really considering going back on my diet. I am so out of shape and I'm not being hard on myself. I use to be really good at disciplining myself on eating healthy, working consistently and just being active for the better. I am working out tonight with my sister at the gym so hopefully it will be consistent and not a one time thing because gym fees are not cheap! Well, I'll leave pictures that I posted over Memorial Weekend. My outfit of the day, frozen yogurt that is a guilty pleasure of mine and the famous B14 from a Vietnamese restaurant in Milwaukee. Oh food, why do you have to be soo goooood? lol. Have a great day!

MINT GREEN OBSESSION

I've been obsessed with the color mint green cause...well..its the color of the season! lol. I've bought a couple of mint green colored clothing to make my closet look a little more spring-y or summer-y and it did just that. I'm sort of a black or BLACK(lol) clothing person because you can never go wrong with black, right? Well, I've made a goal to only buy things that are not black and I think from the look of my closet...I'm getting there. Well, I've instagramed my pictures for today so hopefully it turns out. Here is my pic of the day. Have a safe Memorial weekend! :)

Perfumes for May

I’ve been in love with these three perfumes this past month. L-R: M by Mariah Carey, Guess New, and Fancy Love by Jessica Simpson. I love the floral scent with an edge and these three are a mix of edge and girly at the same time. Guess New is a little subtle with the scent so I wear it to work since I work in an office. Then the other two I wear on girls night out or on dates. Alrighty, have a great day! :)

Flowers & Zebra print.

I've been extremely busy and haven't gotten the chance to post anything. Which I wanted to because I've been doing some major summer shopping. Lol. I'm in love with florals, zebra prints & pastel colors lately. And guess what? I get to wear some of my new clothes today because it is extremely beautiful outside today. I will also be attending a wedding later on so pics will be up. Talk to you later! :)

Chicago Lobster & Dim Sum

Hello! This past weekend I went to Chicago with a few friends and had a lot of fun. Did a little shopping do ill be posting up what I bought. The highlight of my trip was the big seafood buffet that we went to. It was my first time eating lobster. Sure was delicious!

I actually wanted to go to Chicago to shop at Ikea but didn't have time and it wasn't on the way to where my friends wanted to go so I guess it's next time. Hope you guys enjoy the pics. :)

Easter Weekend

This past weekend was an eventful weekend for me. I went to a baby shower, barbecue party, movie date, and some other stuff that I forgot. I rarely get weekends off because of my retail job so when I get one I take advantage of it! The photo collage is from the fancy baby shower. Enjoy!

Something Blue

This past Saturday, I attended my friend's wedding. I love weddings and when I get invited, I go! One of the things I love about weddings is dressing up and go but just to be a part of witnessing two people proclaiming love for each other is a great honor for me. I didn't get to take a lot of pictures of the groom & bride but my pic is enough.

Charlotte Russe Haul

I love love love pink these days and it's because there are so many cute clothes in with that color! I'm never really the type to wear pink unless I have to but I'm just pink crazed lately! Here are the things I bought over the weekend and it's all from Charlotte Russe! :)

Closet Makeover

Hi! I've been storming up ideas on how to update my closet and lately it's been going nowhere. I've had this closet space for a little over 5 years and it looked the same as it did then. I wanted to add more lighting, storage boxes and more color. I don't color coordinate my clothes because i don't like one color(black) dominating the other colors. As weird as that sounds, it makes perfect sense to me. Haha. Anywho, here is my closet. It's not clean or anything and most of my shoes aren't in the right places. But once I'm done with my 'After' picture I'll post it up. Have a great day.

New Look for 2012

Hi! So I’ve been doing some extreme contemplation on dying my hair. I’ve been the girl that never dyed their hair because of many reasons and they are quite reasonable as to why. For one thing, I’ve never cared for the hair change until recently. Maybe it’s the 20-something life crisis, my dull look or whatever it is but I’m sure that it’s the hair issue. My hair is a virgin to hair dye products so I’m not really sure what the effects will be once it goes under the radar. Haha just kidding but I hope it doesn’t make me go bald like some myths about dying hair. Well, anyways, I went in to my usual hair salon last week to get a trim and talked with my hair dresser. She advised me to wait till their CAW in March so I could get some discounts. So I’m waiting till March to do it. Till then I’m looking around for ideas on what color I should go with.
Here are my ideas that I have so far.

I have to look for the appropriate term for these colors before going in. The least I can do. Have a great day.

Icings & Forever21 Haul

My PS skills are not that great so I'm not doing any of these items justice but I promise that these are really cute items. :) I got the silver & glittery box, pink flower hair piece, and the Marilyn Monroe quote canvas from Icings. Then the two earrings, bracelet and the bird ring holder were from Forever21.

Here's a closeup of the jewelry.

My favorite thing from my shopping spree was these pair of earrings. I love the colors of the jewels and it'll go with anything!

I bought these wedges to get ready for the summer. I know it's only February but there's no such thing as being too prepared for the summer. I love wedges because they're comfortable and you wear them with jeans or a nice summer dress.

These are my rockstar heels! I have mostly black heels and these are awesome!

These were the items I bought this past weekend and I must say that I went crazy! No more shopping for a while. Or I shop in moderation. I don't like to spend alot of money all at once. I usually buy one or two items at a time but not this time. I just got extremely carried away with getting ready for the summer and yea. Haha. Well, on a good note, I was satisfied with all the items and so that's all that matters. For now. Have a good night. :)

Papaya Clothing & LuLu's Wishlist

Hello! I should be sleeping but I just can't seem to get my mind off shopping. I've had my eyes on these items for a while and I don't know if I should save my money or just buy it. What to do...

I'm not really a denim jeans lady. I like my comfortable leggings, dresses and skirts but for ever since I saw these jeans, I've been thinking...these could be my motivational jeans. I love the color and destroyed look gives it a little edge to it. And I'm totally not an edgy girl but it's something different for me. Destroyed Denim

 I love shoes! And these are so cute. I love the concept and the colors go well with each other. I like flowers but I'm not sure about it being on heels yet. But it looks lady like and girly. Diva Lounge Loraine

I love cardigans and this floral one is not leaving my mind. This one reminds me of summer and I just miss the season dearly. It's girly and fun and I wouldn't mind putting that in the mic of my closet. Floral Patterned Cardigan

Hmm, these will do for now. I did go on a BIG shopping spree over the weekend. Will post what I bought later this week. *sigh* I'm not a shopaholic. I like to collect clothes, shoes, and jewelries. Alrighty, have a good night.

Congrats to Nancy!

Hello! Today, my sister got a phone call that changed her life from that moment on. She is now a working lady! I was so proud of her so I decided to celebrate this over dinner at Chili's. She's been extremely dedicated into finding a job her field and now her prayers have been answered. Here are pics from tonight.

My lovely sister was all smiles when she came to meet me.

The awesome appetizers that we had. String Onions & Jalepenos. It was delish!

Another picture of the appetizer. Just couldn't get enough of it! :)

My Virgin Strawberry Daiquiri. It was yummy. 

Now that my sister has a job, that means she can pay for dinnerrrrsssss. LoL. Just a thought. Have a good night. :)

Spring Rolls Time

Hello! I took the day off to just rest since I've been overwhelmed with work and life these days. It was great just being a bum and catching up on sleep. I had alot of energy today so I went out and bought ingredients to make spring rolls. I've been craving it recently as well. I bought cupcakes for my little sisters too since they wanted some sweets with their meal. Here are some picture to end the day. :)

Favorite Pieces

Happy Wednesday! I'm getting ready for work soon and I just wanted to share my favorite bracelets. I got all three from Charlotte Russe and they fit perfectly with my coral top that I bought recently. I'm not much of a bracelet person but somewhat became obsessed with it. Every time I shop now, I look for bracelets. Its a great way to accessorize your plain outfit into something different. Alright, I'm off to work. Have a great day. :)
