Oktoberfest #OOTD

Posted in fashion, Lifestyle by

Hey all! I hope all is well with you all considering we just got Daylight savings back.

I figured I would try something very new and do an outfit of the day post. I might as well get out of my comfort zone right? For the past few years we have been going to Oktoberfest all at different locations. This year, we went to Biergarten in Old World Village in Huntington Beach. It was quite an experience, I got to try a German beer with notes of lemon and grapefruit.

Here we go, here’s the look and the links!

Top: I purchased this A New Day ribbed tank top from Target and only costs $8! I’ll be honest, I wasn’t used to wearing a tank top being more on the shorter side.

Jeans: As a shorter girl, it’s been challenging in finding jeans that fit perfectly but let me tell you Old Navy has really good skinny jeans. Here I’m wearing Old Navy’s High-Rise WOW Super Skinny jeans. These usually run at $34.99 but they do occasionally have these jeans on sale and I mean the cheapest I’ve bought was $10!

Sunglasses: First of all just a warning or disclaimer, one of my favorite places to shop for accessories or beauty would have to be TJ Maxx/Marshalls. I got these Tommy Hilfiger Lilo round sunglasses for about $15.

Boots: When it comes to shoes and purses, I usually go to Shoe Dazzle. I’ve been a member with them for quite a few years now. I”m so glad that we’re closer to fall vibes even in crazy California weather. I’m wearing Maggey Flat Boots and I love them! My favorite part of the boots for me would have to be the buckle and the golden zipper. Original price is $59.95 and if you’re a VIP member, it’s $49.95.

There you have it! My very first fashion Outfit of the Day! What do you guy think?!

Defy & INSPIRE “Next Season On”

Posted in Defy & Inspire, Mani Mondays, nails, Target by

Happy Monday loves!

I hope you all had a great weekend! It has been so hectic these past few weeks but I’m back for good! I have lots of ideas and plans for the next few weeks for this blog. 🙂

I think Target is going to kill me in the sweetest way and by that I mean by having Defy & INSPIRE nail polish line, only found at Target!

I’ve only bought one nail polish from that line until last week. I ran into this beauty called “Next Season On” and I know it was calling my name!

It’s such a beautiful blue-green with a copper-ish duochrome shimmer. I can’t get over this shade, I was kind of over the basic same colors I always buy. 😛

What do you guys think?!

 

Defy & Inspire “Moon Dust”

Posted in Defy & Inspire, Mani Mondays, Nail of the Day, nails by

Happy Monday loves!

I hope you all had a great weekend! Sorry, I’ve been somewhat MIA, it’s been a bit crazy here.

I was at Target a few weeks ago and came across Target’s new nail polish line: Defy & Inspire Wear Resistant Nail Lacquer! I normally don’t spend $7 on nail polish but I realized I needed to try this brand let alone the shade.

A little about Defy & Inspire: Their motto is “Beauty is our Responsibility”. Defy the Ordinary. Inspire the Extraordinary. It’s one of those new brands of nail polishes that have 5 Free: No DPB, Toluene, Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin or Camphor. I only know about the first Formaldehyde! lol

Target did a great job designing a nail polish brand! I mean have you seen the intensity of this “Moon Dust”?! According to Target’s website, it’s considered a metallic finish and metallic color palette. In my opinion, it’s a mix of sparkly baby blue, light purple with duo-chrome glitter. I topped it off with Revlon’s Gel Envy Diamond Top Coat, hence that strong sense of shine.

What do you guys think? Have any of you tried Defy & Inspire?

Recent Beauty Haul

Posted in beauty, Biore, L'Oreal, makeup, Mascara, skincare, Ulta by

Happy first day of summer loves!!

I don’t know how the weather is over where you guys are but, it’s only 11am here in LA and already the sun is blaring down at us!

To kick off the summer spirit, I’ve got 2 honorable mentions of my beauty purchases that I’ve been loving lately!

I’ve been on the hunt for L’Oreal Voluminous Lash Paradise mascara and had the hardest time finding it. I went to Target and found out they sold out within the second day! Then went to Ulta and it still wasn’t delivered to them so last idea I had was to order it online. I did find it online on Amazon but it shouldn’t ship until another 2 weeks!

I plan to try it out for a few weeks and will post a review on my blog, so I won’t talk more about this till then!

As I was at Ulta looking for my mascara, I came across the Biore Pore Penetrating Charcoal Bar. I feel like this is a great dupe for the Lush Coalface for half the price. It’s even got a peppermint scent to it. So it feels great after a long day while your face is feeling refreshed.

 

DIY Scarf Organizer

Posted in Accessories, DIY, Pinterest by

Hey loves!

I thought of changing up my recent posts since I’ve been mostly doing hauls. I was doing some spring cleaning and didn’t like how my scarves were just dangling in the closet, while they could fall and I would misplace them. That’s never a good thing. So I went on Pinterest and found a clever and easy way of making a scarf organizer.

Things You Need:

*A hanger

hanger

*shower curtain rings. I got mine from Dollar Tree.

shower rings

*and of course the scarves! lol

scarves

How-To:

1. Open up the shower curtain rings and place scarf in them. You could either fold it twice to make it shorter, or not fold it.

2. After you place the scarves in the rings, you put the rings into the bottom part of the hanger.

Voila! This is the end-product!

diy scarf organizer

In case anyone would like to know where I got these scarves from:

*striped infinity scarf: mark. (used to be a sister store to Avon before they merged together)

*knitted pattern infinity scarf: Walmart

*One sided plaid/other side flowers infinity scarf: H&M

*Burberry knockoff: Bargain store ( something like a .99c store)

* Cream scarf with dots: Target

What did you think?! It’s a first DIY post and I hope to do more like this soon. 🙂

PS. I updated my watermark finally and I’m loving it. What’s your opinion?!

Mini jewelry Show and Tell

Posted in Accessories, haul, Jewelry, shopping, Target by

Hey loves!!

Ahh this is so overdo! This is supposed to be a mini jewelry haul from October but I’ve been swamped with school. Last few weeks are approaching. >_<
So last month (October) was my birthday month and I did quite some damage when it came to jewelry.

Photo 3

Target had a sale earlier in October, buy an accessory (watches, earrings, sunglasses and necklaces), get one free. I’m not much into sunglasses or necklaces and I already have a signature watch that I own, so it came down to earrings!

One of the earrings I bought is a 3 set. A small silver coiled hoop, a medium sized hoop and and a larger hoop. Not bad for paying 4.99 especially it being a 3 set.

Photo 4

The second earring I got was this grayish black teardrop dangling earrings with flowers coming from the inside. This one was also 4.99

Photo 1

This last one I actually got from Sears. It’s also a teardrop earring that looks gold in the picture but is actually a silver one. It also has designs coming in from the inside.  It feels heavy but it’s actually not.

I must say I think I may have a thing with dangl-y and teardrop earrings. hehe
