Thrift Shopping

I absolutely LOVE going thrifting. When I was in middle and high school I would go fairly often. But, I've been so busy with classes the past two years, so I haven't had much time to go thrifting in VA. It was nice to be able to go out with my friend Monica this week and visit my old thrift shop haunts. I went in search of cute clothes and purses (I came out with a shirt, a skirt, a purse, a , and a few books).

Along the way, Monica and I found some cute knick-knacks.





We also saw the most hideous designer jacket. Ha ha. Why D&G? Why?



We came across the most ridiculous corset. Ha ha.





And... we even found my name tag. ;p



It was such a fun day. I'll post pictures of the stuff I bought soon.

Lucky Lucky Lavender

My nails were looking busted... So, I went over to this little beauty supply shop in Downtown (really close to my dad's store) and bought OPI's Lucky Lucky Lavender from the Hong Kong collection and Ogre-the-Top from the Shrek collection. I decided to try out the LLL shade first... it looked a little more pink than lavender, but overall, I'm in love. It was a little bit thick when I was putting it on, but it dried really smooth. And, I didn't even put on a top coat, and it hasn't chipped at all in the few days I've been wearing it. Yayyyy! LLL is such a happy looking color that it makes me smile every time I catch a glimpse of it while doing everyday tasks. Ha ha.

DIY Sunglasses

So, I've had some plain black Forever 21 sunglasses sitting around for a few months. I've been wanting to do a sunglasses redecoration project, so I decided to hot glue on a strip of gold chain laced with pleather. So easy! You should try it. They look vintage & very Chanel. ;)

I really like how they came out and I can't wait to wear them outside! For now, these are some pictures I took of myself. ha ha.





Do you like them?

BETSEY JOHNSON MADELINE PUMPS

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS! The Betsey Johnson Madeline Pumps in Gold & Silver are in the mail zooming over to me. I bought them wayyyyyyyy on sale! Discounted from $192 to $57. They are sold out everywhere... and on the site I bought them from (shoes.com) they happened to be the last pair... and they happened to be my size. I am sooooo excited for them to get here. I think they are absolutely beautiful.





I think they match perfectly with this Betsey Johnson quotation I found on Doe Deere's blog. :)




Let me know what you think!

Lavender Lipstick Obsession

So, I've been addicted to Doe Deere's blog for the past few weeks. I seriously think I've read every entry, pored over every photo shoot, and lusted over every product in her Lime Crime makeup brand. I cannot wait to purchase her D'Lilac lipstick. It is the absolute perfect shade of lavender!

You should absolutely admire her every post the way I have been doing. She totally deserves it. http://www.doedeereblogazine.com/ and take a look at Lime Crime's online shop: http://www.limecrimemakeup.com/

Hooray for bold makeup! Look out for a Lime Crime photo shoot once I buy the lipstick. It will most definitely be glorioussss. :)

Dior Eyes

I always love the makeup featured in the Dior Runway Shows. The eyes always look huge and intense. I was inspired by this photograph from one of their runway shows:



I didn't have any false lashes, so I focused on the contrast of eyeshadow colors instead. I think the overall effect was more toned down than the Dior Runway look, but it was still way more than a going out look. Ha ha.







The outfit: Lace bunny ears (sewn by me, inspired by Maison Michel), Dress (H&M), shoes (iOffer fake Christian Louboutin Rolando Pumps), tights (Target)
