Forever 21 + H&M Haul!

Hey everyone! How is your summer going? Mine has started out pretty good. I went shopping earlier this week, and decided why not do a mini haul? I also went to the grand opening of H&M in Fresno, which felt like I was at Black Friday... hah, but on the other hand, there were many good deals and cute clothing. I wish I would have bought more though.

Navy Blue Shorts: Forever 21: $12.80

Light-wash Denim Shorts: H&M - Original Price; $19.95, Opening Offer; $10

Ramones Black Halter: Forever 21; $13.80
I've been wanting a halter for the longest time. This was the only one I found, but I still love it. 

Cream Dress: Forever 21; $19.80
I'm in love with how boho and girly this dress is. I don't have many plain dresses, or any white, so I decided to buy this one.  This dress screams summer. 

Grey w/ Black Stripes Top: H&M; $12.95

Navy Blue Dress: H&M; $9.95

Black Lace Crop Top: Forever 21; $9.80

Chestnut Leather Handbag: Steve Madden
Literally in love with my new bag, Thanks to my Aunt/ "Sister" <3

I guess it's safe to say I love Black, Blue, and White clothing haha. What's your favorite summer staple? Maxi dresses? Light flowy dresses? Shorts? Comment below! 

Also, (Kind of irrelevant, but everyone is talking about it) I'm currently obsessed with The Fault in Our Stars. I started reading it s while back online, and finally got the book. I still need to finish it though. I'll definitely finish it before the movie comes out. Who's going to watch TFIOS? Are you excited? I know I am. I already know I'm going to need a box of kleenex...or two, while watching the movie haha.

I Got that Summertime Sadness

Hey everyone! I've come to the realization that I'm not the most active blogger, but hey, school comes first.

Yin x Yang

Hey guys! Long time no blog! I apologize for the lack of posts.

Outfit: 

Top: Forever 21 - White crop top with black stripes I believe was $7.80

Skirt: Forever 21 and was $8.80

Shoes: White Converse

Accessories:

Sunnies: Forever 21 and was $5.80

For this outfit I kept things very simple and basic. Very casual yet sort of a classy illusion from the black and white. This outfit's perfect if you want to look cute and presentable, but very laid-back and effortless at the same time. 

This whole outfit (excluding the shoes) was all a part of a small haul I did back in Santa Barbara over the weekend. I will also do another post consisting of my mini "vacation" and small haul for when I was in 

 Santa Barbara and Ventura.

Semi-Classy

Hi everyone, it's been a while since my last blog post and I apologize. I've been very busy with school, coming up with ideas for new blog posts, and of course - Procrastinating haha.

This is a late upload that I've been meaning to post, but never got the chance to so here is an outfit that I think is cute and classy, yet a little casual. Like semi-classy.

Outfit: The top I am wearing is a Lace Black Crop Top from Urban Outfitters. I love the lace print and absolutely love the deep "V" shape the top makes in the back. The floral skirt is from Forever 21. For school I wore some brown cutout oxfords (Since it would be kinda ridiculous to wear stilettos to school ha) to give it a more laid-back hipster look. But to class it up I put on these black velvet stilettos to tie the look together, giving it a more polished look. 

Hair: For my hair, I was running late so I decided to throw it up in a bun, and I thought curling the whole thing would look too formal. So, I pulled out some fringe and quickly curled my bangs out of my face. This also gave the look a more casual vibe.

Vin et Fleures

 A Romantic Boho Chic Look 

Outfit: The Burgundy Crop Top is from Urban Outfitters, originally $29, but on sale for $9. I love how soft and flowy this top is. It compliments the skirt very well, giving it that pop of color and a more softer look overall. The Floral Slit Maxi Skirt is from Forever 21. Sunflowers and Daisy's - or just floral print in general, is a big hit for Spring 2014. Floral prints easily give off that sweet, romantic, flirty look. Plus, what girl doesn't love flowers?

Accessories: Since I am wearing a very detailed clothing item, I decided not to wear much accessories, but a headpiece that I totally love and got a couple of summers ago. I got this beautiful headpiece at Urban Outfitters for about $4, I believe. I think it adds on more of a boho chic vibe.

Maxi Meets Military

Hi everyone! Today's outfit is a Simple Boho / Casual type of look. 

The Dress that I am wearing is from Forever 21, and I got it for $12. 

Maxi dresses are perfect for Spring and Summer; They flow beautifully whenever the wind hits it. 

The Outfit: This Maxi dress had Navy Blue and White Stripes for detail. Simple and cute. 

Now this dress is already cute by itself, but since school dress-code called, I threw on this Military Jacket from Target since a Cardigan would have probably been too much. For shoes I went with some black sandals with gold studs on them, though the dress covers them. To make the look less girly, substitute the sandals for Combat boots. (This was my first option, but 80 degree California weather plus combats did not sound good!) 

Accessories: Now here I decided to be bold and creative by wearing two different necklaces. (Yes, dare to be different.) The first necklace I am wearing is a simple Pearl necklace, and the second, is a necklace that I've worn in my other two blog posts haha. I guess you can say I like that necklace. For hand candy I am wearing a Pearl/Diamond ring just to keep the pearls on my neck company.

Hair: For my hair, I just curled it and gently brushed it out to give out a more soft wave, rather than structured curls. To make the look more boho, an alternative would be to rock a bun. 

Makeup: I kept the makeup pretty neutral using my UD Naked Basics Palette accompanied by mascara, and skipped the eyeliner. For lips, (though you can barely tell since the camera washed the color) I wore my all time favorite 16 Hour NYC Lip stain in 499 Forever Mine Wine. I've been wearing this color everyday, and it's a lovely wine color. You can also build the intensity of the color, and it really does stay on for a long time!

Anyways, this California whether is getting crazy! Too hot over here and it's not even Summer yet! 

Well I hope you enjoyed this post. Please comment and share! XoXo

Sweet Sixteen

Hi everyone, yesterday, March 25, 2014 was a pretty big day for me; My 16th birthday! (I know this is late, but better late than never.) Also thank you everyone for all of the birthday wishes! XoXo

Here was my Birthday Outfit of the Day.

I have always admired Kimonos and always wanted one, and I finally did over Spring Break. My lovely Kimono is from Forever 21, and I love how it gives off that soft, romantic look. Also, I love how it is very flowy, and what girl doesn't like flowers? 

My dress is also from Forever 21, and it is a beautiful pale pink color - Pastels are in for spring. This dress also has lace cutout details on the sides, which I think adds a cute, flirty, and sassy side to the dress (Though it is covered by the Kimono). 

My Silver, Diamond, and Gold necklace was a previous Birthday gift, also worn in my first post. In addition to accessories, I wore a diamond ring accompanied with a pearl ring. Last, can't neglect the ears, so I accessorized by continuing with the floral theme with some rose earrings.

My cutout shoes, I believe, are from WetSeal. I love how they are sort of edgy by all of the cutouts and shapes on the sides.

Overall, I went for a romantic, soft chic type of outfit, and I think I accomplished it with the soft color palette of the pastels, along with the flow of the kimono.

Comment what you would like to see next!
 Happy Wednesday! XoXo

First Clothing HAUL

Hi everyone! So a couple of days ago, I stopped by at Urban Outfitters and Forever 21 and bought a bunch of lovely clothes and decided to do my first Clothing Haul! 

*Urban Outfitters was having a Grand Re-Opening and I found tons beautiful clothes along with good deals. 

These Short Woven Denim Washed Shorts I got at Forever 21 for a price of $8.80
I love how the waste-band is stretchy which makes it comfortable while the material of the shorts give it that fashionable look.

These Black Corduroy High Wasted Shorts are from Urban Outfitters which were originally $49, but I got on sale for $9.99.

This is a Burgundy crop top that I got at Urban as well. This was originally $29, but got it on sale for $9.99. I love how this top had light-weight material and was flowy - perfect for Spring!

Now I am in love with this top from Urban originally $69 on sale for $9.99! The sequins give this top a nice sparkle and you can pair this with some shorts if you'd like a casual look, or if you're going out on a fancy date, pair it with a nice skirt to dress it up.

I don't have much plain white tops, so when I saw this crop top I had to get it. I love the gold zipper and think it gives the top a more chic look. This was originally $29, but on sale for $9.99

And last, an early Birthday present I received from my aunt; the Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette.

This my first eye shadow palette and I'm just in love with all of the gorgeous matte colors.

Comment if you guys would like to see an OOTD or a makeup tutorial using the Naked Basics Palette!

Happy Sunday, xoxo

Lazy Boho And Animal Print

(Please excuse my camera and light quality, I know it's not the best, but I really wanted to post this outfit.)

Hey guys, this is my first blog post of Ace Allure, and I hope you like it.

 

Outfit Details

Cardigan: Target

Black Lace Crop Top: Urban Outfitters

Animal Print Maxi Dress: Mom's Closet 

Black Studded Sandals: Local Store

Brown Leather Shoulder Bag: Mom's Closet

Diamond and Gold Necklace: Birthday Present

The Maxi dress, being essentially a summer item, is one of my favorite kind of dresses. It's light, flows beautifully, and it even makes any gal look taller. 

      Lately I've been wanting to wear a Maxi dress, but didn't know how to style it. So, in order for this dress to transition it into a Winter Outfit, I decided to layer, layer, layer! I threw over this Black Lace Crop Top from Urban Outfitters, which I got on sale for $9.99 I believe. (I also have been wanting to wear the top, but didn't know what to wear with it.) And to keep myself even more warm, I wore my favorite knit cardigan from Target. I literally wear this cardigan with everything haha. For shoes I just wore some black sandals with gold Studs. 

   And last, accessories. I'm not a big fan of accessorizing, but the Gold/Diamond necklace was an exception. Now the bag, I tend to "borrow" my mom's purses haha. I'm really into small leather bags that give off a casual, indie sort of look. 

Hair and Makeup

 Since I was going for a lazy boho look, I felt that curling or straightening my hair would have been too much. So, to maintain that 'lazy boho' look I instead gave myself a messy fishtail braid.  It's quick and easy, especially if you woke up late and don't have time to do you hair. (Braids are usually my go-to hairstyle when I do wake up late.)  Bonus: At the end of the day, undo the braid and be left with beautiful waves.

For make up, I decided to keep the look natural. (I know you can't really see, but I'll try to describe it better.) I did a natural smokey eye, with a slight winged liner. Because my outfit consisted mostly of neutrals, I decided to give my lips a pop of color. I used a vibrant red lip color to tie everything together.
