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. (Hence the major lag on posts and ootds) Anyway, today was my last day of school and I can't believe I survived another year of high school and finals! I'm excited and can't wait to go on adventures this summer.
What are you doing for summer?

Outfit:

Top: Urban Outfitters - Black Lace Crop Top

Maxi Skirt: Forever 21 - Floral Slit Maxi (From Santa Barbara Mini Haul)

Shoes: Pink Wedges (Not sure where from)

Accesories:

Sunnies: Forever 21

Makeup:

Face: Kat Von D's Lock-It Powder Foundation

NYC Cover Stick Concealer  

Eyes: Urban Decay's Naked Basics Palette

Lashes: Maybelline New York's 

"The Mega Plush Volume Express" &

 "The Colossal Volume Express" in waterproof

I really love the Megaslicks Balm Stain since it is a Lip stain and a lip balm, so not only does it give beautiful color, but also stays on for a long time without smudging! 

To everyone getting out of school, have an amazing, safe summer! And to those still in school taking Finals, Good Luck!

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

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
