Mad For Plaid

Ok, girls.  I have never been one for plaid.  I just feel that on me it looked too boyish.  Even though I love the menswear look.  But lately I've been seeing it worn in such fabulously feminine ways and so I decided to try it.  I paired it with my drop earrings, turquoise necklace, and some flirty heels.  The heels were a definite must for me because I was getting worried even with all the jewelry on!  What do you think?  Are there any fashion trends that freak you out?

Oh and I had to wear my new cowboy ring from F21 because let's face it....plaid and cowboys are like peanut butter and jelly.  Am I right?  I also tried a new style for my hair which definitely needs some practice.  I recently discovered the cutest blog called Aqui and she did her hair like this.  I love it!  Such a great spin on the french braid and bun.  Hope you all are having a great Tuesday! <3

Tin Foil Woman

Here's my new tin foil shirt in action!  The color is out there, but pretty versatile.  It's like this gold/silvery color that matches quite a bit.  I love the slouchiness of it and how it's a little bit cropped.  If it didn't have inside seams I'd wear it inside out too because the inside is this cool bronze color!

I realized though that having metallic clothing means I don't really have any matching shoes.  What color shoes would you pair with metals?

Maybelline Color Tattoo Eyeshadow

From left to right: Bad to the Bronze, Pomegranate Punk, Edgy Emerald, and Audacious Asphalt

I haven't done a beauty post in a loooong time, so I thought today would be a good day.  I recently purchased some of the Maybelline 24 Hour Color Tattoo Eyeshadows and I'd like to give my review on them.  So I hope you enjoy!

I happened to just stumble upon these eye shadows while I was in the beauty aisle at Target.  The colors looked really fun and I had been wanting to try a cream eye shadow so I thought, why not?  I bought the colors: Bad to the Bronze, Pomegranate Punk, Edgy Emerald, and Audacious Asphalt.  I thought getting more neutral colors when I hadn't tried them would be safe.

I absolutely love the colors and would actually love to have all of them if I could!  The color goes on so smoothly and a little goes a long way.  I use my ring and pinky fingers and smudge with a q-tip or clean finger when done.  The awesome part is that you can gradually build the color to make it as sheer or matte as you want.  Each color also has reflective particles in it to give off a great sheen.  And I've read other reviews where some stated they don't blend well, but I think they blend perfectly.

You can see in the photos how I blended the Bad to the Bronze and the Pomegranate Punk.

Wearing Edgy Emerald

As far as lasting 24 hours, well I haven't tested that since I don't sleep in my make up.  But I was satisfied after putting it on in the morning and then at night, checking before I washed the shadow off to see how it did.  No creasing and the color was still vibrant.

I have to say, I'm definitely a fan of cream shadows now!

Where to buy:

• Target: $5.99
• Walgreens: $6.99 (at the time was buy one get second 50% off)
• Rite Aid: $6.49
• Wal Mart: $5.49

Hope you enjoyed my little review and let me know what you think of these products!

Shop My Closet!

I'm a huge supporter of recycled fashion and I've been seeing a lot of bloggers lately doing a "shop my closet" on their blogs.  So I thought I'd give it a whirl.  You can find all the information here or click the Shop My Closet link on the right sidebar.

I'll be adding a lot more items soon!  Have a great rest of the weekend everyone! <3

Sunny Days, Sweeping the Clouds Away

Yay for tie dye!!  I love this blouse!  I found it at the Crossroads in Stockton for $6.  It's so light and airy, and will be completely perfect for summer.  Why no one snatched this baby up in it's original Crossroads is beyond me.  My son is so cute.  He kept pointing at my shirt and saying "clow".  His way of saying "cloud".  He's learning so many words right now it's insane.  He's growing up too fast!

And I need your help again.  My son drew on these shoes with pen, and I don't know how to remove it or if that's even possible.  They're leather and luckily it's on the inside sole so it's not too noticeable. :(  Help!!

And this is why I don't own a white blazer.  LOL.  Have a great weekend everyone! <3

Playful Polka Dots

I just love swingy skirts!  And especially polka dots.  I find polka dots to be so feminine and fun.  This is another skirt I scored on Etsy a while back and I hadn't worn it yet because I can't decide if I want to hem it up a bit or not.  What do you guys think?  Like right below the knee or right above?

Of course I had to brighten up my look with my jade green blouse.  I seriously love this color.  I think I need more green in my wardrobe. :)

PS.  I'm seriously humbled by having 90 followers.  Holy cow.  Thank you all so so much for even coming to visit my tiny space in the blogosphere.  I'm truly grateful. <3

Forever 21 and H&M Haul

I never realized that hauls were so popular until browsing blogs and youtube.  It's fun seeing what other girls are buying.  It almost kind of satisfies the need to shop.  Almost.  LOL.  I thought I'd make a post showing what I got from F21 and H&M while down here in southern CA.  Hope you like it!

Cream colored fringe top from F21.  Can't wait to wear this in the spring and summer.  So hippie and so my style. :)

Cream crochet skirt.  I've been looking for one of these for a while.  I was so glad to find it!  From F21.

Black culotte shorts from F21.  It's hard to see what they really look like but these are so cute!  Sheer and flowy.  Great for summer. 

Black bermuda shorts from F21.  I fell in love with the tulip shaped pockets.  So soft and so comfy.  Love them!

Gold and multi-colored necklace from F21.  So pretty in the light and pastel colors that are perfect for Spring.

Cowboy hat ring from F21.  Just thought this was so unique and cool.

Gold metallic top from H&M.  When I saw this online, I knew I had to have it.  I've been craving metallic fabrics all winter.

White and black blouse from H&M.  So soft and silky and totally on trend.

And the creme de la creme!  This gorgeous khaki trench 50% off.  Fits like a dream and is so classic.  It's no Burberry, but it comes pretty damn close.  

All of the H&M stuff was on a gift card so in total, I only spent about $90 on the F21 stuff.  That's good for me!  LOL.  Look for all of these things in upcoming posts! :)

In the Navy

I scored this gorgeous shift dress at Old Navy when I was back home.  It was 30% off the already reduced price so it cost me $6!  I decided at that price, I'd get it in hot pink too.  :)  The purse was one that I found at the Crossroads in Stockton and I love the chain link strap and the buttery leather.  It's actually pretty dang heavy!

And I have a question...I usually use Picnik to resize my photos, but Picnik is closing and I need a new site where I can adjust the pixel size.  What do you all use?  Have a great day everyone! <3
