Skulls & Sparkles

Hey loves, what better combo than skulls and sparkles, I mean seriously. It's the perfect of mix of grit and glamour, grunge and dazzle! I spotted this tee on Refinery 29 one day and loved the way they styled it and had to have it. Unfortunately, there was no way I was rocking a blazer and boots in this heat but I have many more ideas and perfect pairings in my head for this piece to come. For this day I simply paired it with a pair of short shorts and my new JustFab additions. I stacked some necklaces and threw on a crossbody bag and was out the door. I ended up rolling up the sleeves a bit for a more casual land it looked great. This was all the clothes I could handle on this EXTRA hot day but you WILL be seeing this tee again.....and did I mention it was only 9.99! #SCORE

The FIT:
Tee: Uniqlo
Shorts: GAP
Heels: JustFab

Not so BLACK AND WHITE

Happy Monday dolls! Hope you had an awesome weekend. I'm coming to you today with a simple and effortless look I threw on to run errands in this weekend. It is so hot here that I simply can't be bothered with fussy outfits requiring too much thought. This look was simple, clean and put together. Just what I was shooting for and out the door I went!


Testing out settings on my new Canon 60D and I must say I am IN.LOVE with this camera dolls. I've been meaning to upgrade my T1i for a minute now and after much research I decided on the 60D. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. Excuse the photo overload but I just couldn't choose which ones to post since I loved so many. I find I take my own pics better than anyone else these days and practice makes perfect. 




Hair curled using curling wand.....tutorial coming soon, editing the footage tonight!

The FIT:
Tank: LOFT, Skirt/Scarf: Thrifted, Bag/Shoes: Zara


Keeping with the simplistic theme of this look I kept the jewelry to a minimal and added a pop of color with my gorgeous new bag and my neon toe nails. I should have done a RED lip but I simply wasn't in the mood. Yes, I know, you should always be in the mood for a red lip--the red lip alone is a mood lifter (in my opinion) but I just couldn't be bothered.



Beat Face:
Eyes: Wet n' Wild Drinking a Glass of Shine palette--MY NEW GO-TO Palette!!
Lippie: NYX Beige Lipgloss
Foundation: L'Oreal True Match in C8

The Power of a Heel

Hey dolls, Happy Monday! I'm a lil late with this post but today has been busy, busy, busy. Can we talk about these gorge Zara ankle strap sandals for a moment please! These heels make me feel like superwoman, catwoman and wonderwoman all rolled into one....never underestimate the power of a heel dolls! They were the perfect addition to sex up this classic and simple look. I paired my new 'barely peplum' peplum blouse from LOFT and neon shorts from GAP with gold accents for lunch with a friend. That lunch turned into beach fun that turned into people watching and ice cream on the pier, switched out these beauties for a pair of flat neon thong sandals and I was chic on the go!
 
I also took my new RiRi Boy lippie out for a spin. I topped it off with Fantabulous lipglass by MAC and VIOLA...a perfect combo!


The FIT:
Peplum Top: LOFT
Shorts: GAP
Heels: Zara
Belt: Vintage
Lippie: MAC RiRi Boy

New Stuff....Zara/JustFab Haul

Just a few things I've picked up recently. Like I mentioned before, I've lifted my spending strike and decided to pick up a few things...well more than a few things hehehe. Just a few items to add that pop of pizzazz my wardrobe has been needing.

These basic and classic ankle strap heels are a MUST HAVE and totally see why everyone has been obsessed with them. They are surprisingly pretty comfortable and hella sexy, all that's missing is a nice nude pair. On the hunt now.

I have never been big on Zara jewelry but I have clearly been missing out! These pieces I have been soooo obsessed with.... and at only 59.99 for the most expensive piece, I am hooked! These pieces are heavy and made very well and shine bright like diamonds! I need a red carpet event and ball gown to pair with them but for now I'll stick with my boyfriend jeans, white Tee and dope blazer.

 Hope your having a blessed Sunday loves! 
This cranberry gem with be the perfect pop of color to any fall outfit, can't wait to rock these babies. 
They seriously sparkle, how gorgeous is this piece!
