An explanation and my thoughts on Jeremy Scott SS'15

                           

Well first and foremost I should slap myself for taking so long to update my blog. I have no excuse for it other than I've been extremely busy with just trying to get my life in one direction. But on a brighter and shocking note, I was lucky enough to get invited to two fashion shows for Sept. Ny fashion week which seems pretty surreal. I'm only able to make it to one show so far which is tomorrow so I will definitely update my thoughts and blah blah from that show. As you can see from my blog I don't really do coverage on fashion week or anything... My blog is mainly just experiences I've dealt with personally wether with fashion or just hanging with my friends. I hate to say that I'm this "person that's like into fashion" because I'm really just all about expressing my style which doesn't always look super fancy or on point at times, I got my lazy days girl. That being said I'm just a go with the flow kinda gal. There's always one designer whose collection I have to see each time and that is Jeremy Scott. His collections always speak to me and scream edgy. I love it. With this particular collection there were about 12 looks that I really liked. This collection like many of his other collections have that vintage 90's feel to them and he always seems to have that rad ass character on his designs. Before he did the primarily Bart from the Simpsons, and now it's Shrek. I love the kinda contradictory statements on the shirts too for example this collection is very space-futuristic, little bit of clueless 90's even 60's era,  super tripppy and psydellic but he states on his shirt "don't take drugs". Overall I quite like the collection and can't wait to see what he creates next time.

Beauty wants-wishlist for May!

      Hi beauties! I want to give myself a pat on the back for making another post, not only am I going to be posting more frequently (I hope) but I really enjoy blogging and sharing my thoughts with you guys. I recently created a polyvore which explains the template for this lovely collage. I don't know why I never made one before, it's pretty awesome. But anyways to the products, disclaimer: I didn't know if I should classify these products as my wishlist or just as my wants for May because a lot of these products are quite reasonable (excluding MAC considering it's more on the pricey-er side) but I've been wanting these products for a while just haven't really got to it or set out a budget for it to be honest. So... here I am! Being the procrastinator (that I am deeply ashame but whole heart-ed-ly admit to being), I plan on getting either a few of these products or at least one to check off my "wish-want list". I know that a lot of these products are well known having heard tons of reviews of them so far, some good - some bad. When I do purchase these products I'd like to do a review of my own because although I appreciate, respect and often turn to reviews personally, whither it'd be on a movie or a beauty product, I strongly believe you don't truly know something unless you've tried or experienced it yourself. I mean everyone thinks different right? At least with somethings. I think often times we forget that and get ourselves wrapped around reviews and everyone else's opinion. SO... enough with my useless speech lol and on with my wish-want whateva list :-) :

(p.s. this isn't really in any particular order to what I want the most of least I just assorted the products by size and yeah I also just felt like typing numero uno haha)

NUMERO UNO:  Any type of brown gel eyeliner. Brown gel liner I needs you in my life babeee? The main reason I've been wanting a brown gel liner is for my eyebrows. They been looking ratchet as ever lately with just powder and I didn't even used an angled brush -talk about disaster-. (yes I just used the word ratchet, people it's that time of night ha excuse me) I'm considering getting Elf studio's brown gel  liner or they're eyebrow kit in dark which comes with a dark brown gel liner similar to the one in the collage and a powder. They both retail for $3.00.

2:  M.A.C Lustre drops, Retail: $21.00. I know that Maccosmetics.com describes this as a bronzer which I guess could be a possible answer to what it is but I wouldn't use this as just any bronzer. I would love to put some of this stuff as an over all highlight maybe put some drops in my foundation I think the finish of it would look so beautiful.

3. Ben Nye Banana Nut Powder $13.99 3.oz via Camerareadycosmetics.com. So everyone knows this as the highlight powder that Mario Dedivanovic uses on Kim Kardashian for her gorgeous highlight and glow contour routine. Now I first saw this being used in a tutorial of a youtuber whose name I don't remember ages ago and ever since then I wanted to try it.

4. M.A.C Mineralize Skinfinish Gold Deposit, Retail: $30.00 -it aint cheap- Now I've heard about this bronzer before on youtube and a lot of girls described this bronzer as something they didn't think they'd want to purchase but ended up purchasing it anyway and fell in love with it. I still think $30 is a bit much for a bronzer but I have swatched this at Mac and I think the pigmentation and just glow of it, is ridiculously gorgeous and may be worth every penny. It also reminds me of a bronzer I've been wanting to try out by Milani maybe I'll try the Milani one first.

5. M.A.C Matte Lipstick Ruby Woo, Retail: $15.00: I'm a sucker for red lips. I think they're just the perfect and most beautiful way to make a statement on a woman's lips. Now I have so many red lipsticks in my collection it's crazy so when I heard about purchasing a $15 lipstick that's red I thought I think I'll pass but I just had to try it out at M.A.C and I got instant compliments on this, does it matter that those compliments were by my own conscious? Lol but my friends said it looked awesome and I agree. I think it's that classic matte yet vibrant deep red that no other red can really compare to and I still can't believe I haven't purchased it.

6. REVLON Nearly Naked Foundation, Retail:$7.49 via target: Heard great things about this foundation, first heard about it from a beauty guru on youtube by the username GirlyFrame. She said it was a dupe for a chanel foundation and I love everything chanel so I gots to try this out. :)

7: LUSH Lip Scrub, Retail: $9.95: Heard good and bad things about this lip scrub but I would love to try it for myself being someone that has pretty big lips I know what it's like to have dead skin on your lips it's a B!

8: A really cute kitty makeup bag Forever 21, Retail $9.80: I just really need a new makeup bag to hold the makeup in my purse. I've been putting random eyeliner and lipstick in my bag and scrumming through it like a mad woman when I need it.  I think F21 has some cute ones this one caught my eye on polyvore. Aren't the kitties are so cute?

9: Neutrogena Grapefruit Oil Free Cleansing Wipes, Retail $6.97 via Walmart: I remember going into to target with my sister since she had to purchase some things and, being dead broke stupidly I thought to torture myself by going to the beauty aisle, so I stumbled upon these wipes they were around $10.00 for 25ct and they came with something else and it just smelled so heavenly to me. Definitely want to purchase these, oh yeah and they apparently tend to acne prone skin? Can I get an amen?

10. Cetaphil Daily Oil Free Facial Cleanser $9.47 via Walmart: I own the cetaphil daily moisturizer and I really like it considering how light weight it may be. This product is probably just as good.

Have you guys tried any of these products?

until next time beauties,

Some spring buys ~

So what do you know I have another blog post and it hasn't been 5 months... *pats self on back* I've been quite busy lately but I slipped into K-mart with a friend no more then a month ago and picked up these bits. Wait I lie, I picked up 1 lip stick & teen vogue and then later on in the week I picked up a few other lipsticks at a local Rite Aid. The one I purchased is from k-mart and it's called SugarPlum Fairy by Wet N' Wild's mega last lipstick collection. I'd describe it as a deep- subtle yet can be viewed as a vibrantly statement purple . I first heard about this lipstick from Sam aka beauty crush, she stated that it's a dupe for MAC's Rebel and I completely agree the color is called Sugarplum Fairy, rem peeps this is important! :p Before I rave about this lipstick Let me first off say that I think Wet N Wild as a company is completely underrated. Although I've been tempted to purchase Rebel from MAC and have swatched the color in person, witness and suggest my friend to purchase it I think SugarPlum fairy is a great alternative. I think Rebel is slightly better quality due to the general hold of the lipstick. Did I mention sugarplum fairy was only $1.99? Rebel is like $15+... I don't think so honey booboo (yes I just said honeybooboo) not when you can get something identical and just as good for cheaper. I love MAC but you can't beat that. Now the next two lipsticks I purchased are also by Wet N' Wild and they're called Dollhouse pink and 511b. Dollhouse pink is a matte finish and it's incredibly vibrant and definitely a statement lipstick. It kind of reminds me of candy yum yum by mac and OCC's lip tar in the shade Nylon although I haven't seen the color in person i've seen tons of photos and videos of girls wearing it. I quite like DP(dollhouse pink) but I would probably wear it with a more subtle eye makeup. I also think DP has a pastel lavender undertone to it I took some photos of swatches down below with and without flash. On to 511b, this is such a pretty lustre type fushcia. The color glides on your lips and is quite pigmented but subtle and a steal at only $0.99. As you can seen I also purchased this month's teen vogue, I literally purhase one whenever I want... Other than me just genuinely enjoying buying a single one each month... I'd probably save a lot if I subscribe to the magazine but I hate having magazines of people I dislike or am not a fan of who happened to be on the front cover, stupid I know lol. I'm not too sure who Shay mitchell is honestly (contradictory) but I thought she looked very pretty and familiar and the front cover just made me think of spring, I still haven't read this yet... Believe it or not but Teen vogue is one of my favorite fashion magazines along with Vogue. I like the fresh and open, trendy takes on teen vogue yet the classic modern twist Vogue has as a magazine.

Nails of the day 4/2/13

I still can't believe the last time I made a post on here was in November. I promised myself I wouldn't abandon this blog but I keep doing so :( I know not many read this but I'm sorry things have just been kinda crazy lately. So I thought by posting my nails of the day it would kick off a start to more frequent blogpost. It's literally 12:24 am right now, I have spring break this is like my last day and I decided to paint my nails. I don't know the name of this particular nail color but it is by the brand soo nails (the name either rubbed off or is not stated on the bottle). I purchased this color at a local beauty supply store for $1.99, I own a few colors by this brand and I think the color pigmentation and quality is remarkable... I also feel pretty awesome because the brands polishes are made in USA! Which helps the economy in some small way... I think lol Also a ridiculously cheap and great clear top coat (no it's amazing like it kind of beats the sally hansen one) called Express top coat by the brand NK (they sell this in almost all dollar stores) I got that for only $1.00. I think the top coat is great but do I think it necessarily keeps your nail polish from chipping? No. I think that depends on the nail polish you use and how much you use. So it's now 12:27 and I think I should shutup now... Here are some pictures (ok shutting up lol)

Kitchen photoshoot ~oooo la la la

So yeah.... I really have no excuse, it's been forever since I've updated. SHAME ON ME. It's okay you can give me a spanky wanky... ok that can be interpreted quite wrong but uh, you get my drift lol. I took too much time playing around with the lightning and effects in these pictures although I'm proud to show off a few of my new purchases. I recently popped into Charlotte Russe and bought that crop top for under $5 as well as the gold choker! Although I did not buy these on black friday maybe a week or two before. I didn't do much black friday shopping, not really a fan of waking up early to shop for everyone's leftovers and getting trampled.... I did purchase a bunch of things and I shall have a post and video up soon! Also let me admit something as well, I haven't really been a fan of Charlotte Russe, they have pro's and con's like many stores-- not to mention student discount (AWESOME) but I sometimes find when I go in there it's hit and miss. When you do find something cute it's either way overpriced, or I feel as if I walked into hooker wonderland. Ya'll know I'm not finishing this post without a bit of a ramble lol. On the brighter side, I was feeling in the mood to stress myself out by having an awkward self-portrait photoshoot in my kitchen at like 11pm. Want some oats? Lol hope you guys enjoy!

Let me know what you guys think! until next time beauties xo

NASTY GAL FALL COLLECTION 2012 = drool, drool and more drooling

Can I get an Amennn? Like seriously people, I am in love with the new fall collection from Nasty Gal. Not only am I a fan of their overpriced site or-- scratch that, I can't say some of the clothing they sell isn't worth the price-- I just would rather not spend over $50 on a crop top that won't fit me. Maybe when I loose some weight and save my money a bit more then sure but as of now, I probably won't be purchasing anything from them anytime soon. :( I usually check their site one or--- multiple times a week, hehe but stumbling across their collection was actually through tumblr. I stumbled across a picture of two women in these abstract heart shaped skater dresses, one in pink and one in black, paired with some wicked combat boots. I never believed in love at first sight until I saw that picture, they both just looked stunning. I had to find out where these dresses came from and I saw that it was from "thenastygal" so of course I went to nastygal.com and saw immediately that they came out with a new fall collection. Although I don't own any pieces from this collection I thought it would be cool to share some of my favorite pieces, ones that I would probably buy if I were skinny enough lol. :p But enjoy, courtesy of these photos are obviously from NastyGal.com

PROM & BLAH BLAH BLAH

Ok, so I promised you guys I would post pictures of my experience at prom and everything and blah blah blah. So here you go! But before I post the pictures, you know I can't go on without rambling about some things that happened. I mean what else would a blog-post be without some piccctasssss. OK I'll stop, I've been on a sugar rush since yesterday peepz! :o So pretty much I felt like my make-up and hair and everything was just ehhhchchhcidnkdnkdnedk bleh. I looked like a hot mess because of course I procrastinated (I'm the queen of procrastinating) way too much and ended up doing everything at the spur of the moment, yikes. All my friends and all the girls at prom looked incredibly stunning by the way. *_* MY eyes were burning from all the beautyyyyyy! Let's get to business. Everyone was suppose to be at my house at around 5:00-5:30 because the limo was picking us up there at 6:00 and one of my best friends came a bit early and I still had not had my makeup on! I was freaking and panicking and ah ah ah. But I did my make in and hair in about 20 minutes which explains why it looked like crap, then something went wrong with my dress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Ok, so there was a gap in my dress? Even though I got it professionally altered. -_- I really should have tried it on after I picked it up but I just did not want to waste anytime. From searching for pins and needles to bobby pins, I felt like I was going to pass out or something. On top of that I purchased my dress on ebay and it did look a bit different from the picture but I did in fact like it very much, I just wish it didn't arrive TWO DAYS BEFORE PROM. I mean.... it is kind of my fault. :o Cause I did send the payment too late. I think I should not have procrastinated, and planned everything a bit better or planned something period lol and things might have ran more smoothly for me and wouldn't have been so stressful looking back.  I think my prom dress is quite classy but very edgy at the same time which I like, is it versatile? No. Do I think I'll ever get a chance to wear it again? Don't think so. But I do like it. So I didn't get much pictures of my dress for prom on the specific prom date, but I did recently have a self- portrait photoshoot in my sisters bedroom just for this post and because I wanted a few pictures of my dress. I seriously wanted to hire a professional photographer to take outdoor shots but I feel like it'll be a little too late for that? And a little too expensive.... :/ I can't explain to you how annoying it was taking these shots and believe it or not the back on my dress wasn't even hooked, and I was sweating like a pig bro. But back to prom, as everyone took some pictures we all finally headed in the limo when the limo driver arrived. So we all go in, and the door closes then the driver opens the door again? For what reason? I don't know why!! He opens the door and the door decides to not want to close again. -_- Seriously. So we all spent like a good twenty to thirty minutes trying to get the got damn door to close! Major bummer. As we are driving my poor baby Erica started feeling sick. :( I felt so bad for her she didn't even get to enjoy herself at prom. Besides prom wasn't bad, I mean it was nice being there and all but there were so many things I would of changed if I could. First of all, all the people that were in my limo were ladies and none of us had dates except for one another I guess but yeah... so it was pretty awkward when the dj said for only couples to go on the stage for the first dance. Um ok. Yeah how about the FOREVA ALONE table, hello???? Not to mention they were playing Fairytale by Taylor Swift as the first song for the couple dance, I wanted to shoot myself. After all that finally everyone else got to go on the dancefloor, which was kinda bad because they kept forming these stupid ass circles! I mean yeah it was kind of entertaining but only like 2 people are dancing and ok they're good dancers we get it but what about everyone else? Do we just stand there and watch? Um ok, and I cant even see anything cause some tall ass dude is in my way! Even when I did try dancing outside of these stupid circles with my friends, the awkward part is you feel like a shitload of teachers staring at you. Can I get an AWKWARD?? After a while everyone did dance, but the music and dj was very disappointing. C'mon, I felt like the music could have been wayyyyy better. Sweetjesussauce who plays Taylor Swift at a prom??!? I'm sorry if anyone who is reading this is a fan of Taylor Swift music, I have nothing against her as a person and I don't deny that she has talent, I aint no hater, but I just can't stand her music. I'm going really hard on prom right now lol, but as my overrall experience I give it a 6.5 out of 10, it wasn't bad but it could of been better in my opinion. The after-party was were I really had an amazing time. I went with my friends Rita, marie, Dominique, Ivy and Anya to Club Amnesia. I will post some pictures of my outfit there and inside too. :D As someone that doesn't really have a life, I mean walking in there was simply amazing. I was mind blown, smoke everywhere people dancing, the lights, AWESOME. It was just way too hot and a little small but a lot of fun and I danced my big ol' butt off. And guys actually asked me to dance? WHAT? ME? My response went more like this, Um no thanks, but I'm flattered and please get your dick off my back kay thanks. After the club, we all went home, I got home at around 4:15 ish and man I would relive that night any day. I will shutup now and I hope you guys enjoy the pictures, there is a lot. Until next time gorgeous people. x <3
