Hey loves!

So, everyone seems to be back in school again to finish up the rest of the year. I know these types of "Back To School" Lookbooks are quite popular at the beginning of the school year, but I thought to myself this might be nice to re-inspire your academic OOTD swag.

Hey loves!

This will be just a quick little post. I know I haven't done a blog sale in a long time, but that's mostly due to the fact that I now use an awesome app called Poshmark to help me purge and clear out my closet!

I've been using this app on and off for approximately 2 years and I like it quite a lot. It's very simple to use whether you're selling or shopping and the Poshmark community in its majority is friendly and honest.

I just updated my Poshmark closet with a few shoe listings that I thought some of my readers may be interested in.

Hey loves!

I received such overwhelmingly positive feedback from my last lookbook that I wanted to put together another one for you. This lookbook features one common denominator: my Jeffrey Campbell Litas. As some of you may remember from my unboxing video, my first pair of JC's were a Christmas gift from my parents and my love for them has grown radically!



Any pair of Jeffrey Campbell's will cost you a pretty penny, but I do strongly believe in good investment pieces. Although I received these as a gift, I could still picture myself saving up the money to buy myself Litas if I hadn't gotten them from Christmas. Let's be real...ever since I got Litas, I find myself quite often lusting over pairs and pairs online...what I hope to be the next addition to my Jeffrey Campbell collection.

Hey loveys,

I'm sorry for being MIA towards the end of last week. A lot of things came up (good and bad) and I just had to push my schedule back, but that means there will be 3 new videos this week! Yay! <3

Here's my "bonus" video of the week:




This makeup look was inspired by the lovely miss Ginnifer Goodwin and what she wore to the Oscars:




I am exhausted loves, so I will update this post tomorrow with more fun stuff. Hope you guys had a great weekend! <3

After knocking out for a good 8 hours, I'm back! Haha. Daylight Savings really did a number on me. Anyways...

I created this video as part of the PopSugar Partner network. The theme was to recreate a makeup look from the Oscars. When I had been searching for which look I wanted to create, I came across a lot of gorgeous looks, but I have to say that Goodwin's stood out to me the most. 

The electric blue lid (I believe) was intentional to pair with her stunning dress and it was done beautifully without being too "matchy-matchy". The copper and chocolate brown colors help to really balance out all the blue. I feel like blue eyeshadow should be handled with caution as it can look a bit "70's" or "80's" if you will or it can come out extremely elegant as it did on Goodwin.

Here is the list of products I used in the tutorial:

• MAC Cream Color Base Blush - Luna
• Lorac Cosmetics Sparkle Pencil, Midnight, 0.161 Ounce (couldn't find the exact color, but any blue will work)
• Urban Decay Eyeshadow Naked 0.05 oz (from UD Naked Palette)
• LORAC Baked Eyeshadow Duo in Tempt Me
• LORAC Baked Eyeshadow Duo in Tease Me
• Couldn't find either of these to link off for you guys, but you could also try Lorac Starry-eyed Baked Eye Shadow Trio in Star Style 0.15 Oz
• MAC Eyeshadow Brun
• L'oreal Studio Secrets Magic Perfecting Base
• Benefit Erase Paste in Medium 02
• Make Up For Ever HD Foundation in #128 (just a sample that I got from Sephora)
• Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in Translucent
• MAC Lipstick in Shy Girl

Hi loves!

As I stated in my Fashion Favorites: Hermes Clutch post, I want to make more of an effort in how I dress. I've always had a huge interest in fashion, but I feel like I've let myself be lazy...but not anymore! Here are 3 casual outfits that I put together:







I really love all three outfits. I feel like each one is pretty different from the other and I like having that range style-wise. Which outfit do you like best?

Until next time loveys!

Hi loves!

I was just scrolling through my emails yesterday when I came across this:

Hi loves!

If you follow me on YouChoob, you'll know that I used to do a monthly segment called "Fashion Favorites". I would feature different pieces that I had been loving and using frequently that past month. I actually haven't done one of those in a while (hoping to get back into it for YouChoob), but I thought it would great to do that here! :) For my blog, I think I'll forego the monthly round-up and just share the pieces as they win my heart. :P

For my first ever (blog) Fashion Favorites, I wanted to share this little gem:


This is my "Hermes" clutch in teal. I'm pretty sure it's just a knock-off that my grandma brought back from the Philippines.

My grandma brought back so many of these! Between my mom, sister, and I, we were all able to pick out 3-4 to keep for ourselves. I've been holding onto these for over a year and I'm just now putting them to use. I can't believe I didn't bust these out sooner! 

I think I was a bit apprehensive about the limited space of a clutch because I'm the type of person that likes to pack up their whole life up with them in their purse and head out the door. Haha! This clutch disproves that preconception by a long shot though. It's especially spacious and I can stuff all my "necessities" into it. 




And need I say that the color is just absolutely gorgeous? It's the perfect pop of color to any outfit! The teal seems to compliment even brighter colors too!

If you want to see my teal Hermes clutch in action, you should check out my Movie Night OOTD with Emman:




I think it's safe to say that you'll be seeing this clutch in a lot of upcoming OOTDs, especially since spring is just around the corner! The color just screams spring!

Thanks for taking the time to read lovers! I'm gonna head out now and grab me some nom noms. Until next time!

Hi loves!

I'm back with another post, boooyaaahhh! *pats self on back*

For today's entry, I wanted to shed light on the disaster of which is now my bedroom. Haha. Allow me to elaborate...

I have always struggled with organization. To be more specific, I know how to get myself organized (closet, bedroom, and all!), but I haven't found a system that I can be consistent with. Whether it be limited space or just due to sheer laziness, I'll have a seemingly pristine room one day and the next, an aftermath of what could have been a tornado (an exaggeration obviously, but darn near close haha).

To remedy this, I thought it would be great to blog a little here and there about my organization journey. I feel like posting updates here holds me more accountable and you guys can pitch in your two cents in comments below. 

Starting off with something small, I wanted to share an idea of how to organize belts. I feel like belts are such an odd thing to store. They aren't small enough like jewelry pieces to tuck away in a box, they unravel when stored in drawers (depending on the size of your belt collection and the drawer), and they won't properly hang on hangers. Upon lots of trial and error, I have now (contently) settled for this:
