Hey guys!
So it is finally February, and honestly, I’m so glad! January is always so dreary and gloomy, so hopefully February will be better. But I really can’t believe we are in the second month of 2014 already…and there are just four months until I graduate high school! Really exciting times (:
But, back to the point of this post, I thought I would share what my favorites of January were because I actually had a couple this past month!
I of course have to start out with my Naked 3 palette! I got it for Christmas and I used it a lot in January! The colors are so pretty and they really compliment my skin tone since I have a lot of pink undertones. And the shadows are so nice and buttery, and combined with a good eyeshadow primer, they stay all day! I didn’t show all the swatches because I figure by now there are tons and tons of posts about the Naked 3.
The next product is the Honey Baked Bronzing Powder in shade 02, fair matte, from the Body Shop. This bronzer is so amazing! It is really buttery and it looks so natural on. Since my skin is really fair, I have to be careful about getting bronzers that don’t have the same undertones as my skin, but this one looks really great on! It gives my skin a nice glow without looking like I spread some Nutella below my cheekbones. They also have three other shades that are really pretty.
Next up is the Almay Oil Free eye makeup remover. Before I got this product, I was using baby oil to remove my eye makeup, but I read on a couple of different websites that it actually isn’t that good for your skin, especially the sensitive skin around your eyes. I also didn’t like how it left such an oily residue on my skin. Since Almay is made especially for sensitive skin, I tend to lean towards them because I know it won’t irritate my skin.
I have really been loving this so far! I put some on a little cotton pad and it takes off all of my eye makeup with a couple of swipes! Even mascara which makes me really happy because I hate taking off mascara. I used this makeup remover to take off all my eye makeup after Winter Formal, and I was very satisfied.
I have actually been using this face wash for a long time now, but I have just recently started using it every night after I use a face wipe (the same brand and type as this face wash) to take off my BB cream. I have noticed that my skin has been really soft and it feels so much cleaner instead of only using a facial wipe! I really love Burt’s Bees because they have so many sensitive skin options, they are all natural, and they don’t test on animals. A win-win all around!
Now onto some non-beauty favorites…
My parents got me this sweater for Christmas, and I have been wearing it non-stop! It is so comfortable and warm, and super easy to throw over anything to make it look like I actually made an effort instead of just throwing on a shirt and jeans. I also really love the pattern! I have really been into tribal prints lately.
I got this little guy at Forever 21 and I love it so much! I have been looking for a ring holder forever, and when I saw this one I was sold. I have always loved the ocean, so anything sea related, I’m game. This is also super nice to have because now I have a place for all of my rings! Before they were just scattered everywhere on top of my dresser in my closet and super easy to lose.
This is also my favorite ring that I bought this month. I really love jewelry that looks like branches, or leaves (really anything nature related) so I instantly fell in love with this one! Haha, I was actually talking to one of my friends earlier this month that this is how I want my wedding ring to look like.
I got this candle for sale at Bath&Body Works and it smells so yummy! It’s the perfect spring scent and it really goes with the other decor and color scheme of my desk. It’s just a really good candle for a nice post-January blues pick-me-up! (what a mouthful)
I got these curtains for Christmas as well, and I love them so much! Before I just had plain white ones, but these really pull my room together. I also have a set on another window in my room, but the lighting looked really weird in the picture so I couldn’t take a picture of them haha.
A closer look at the pattern.
I also have fairy lights in them! I have always had them in my curtains so I was glad they worked with these ones as well (: They just make me so happy and I love they way they look at night.
I also got matching pillows for Christmas to put on my couch, and I adore them. I loved my room before, but now everything really comes together!
Well that’s it for my January favorites! I’m so glad to be entering a new month and I hope it’s a really great one for you!
What were your favorites for January? And what are you looking forward to in February?
Thanks so much for reading and have a great rest of your day! (:

Hey guys!
A couple of days ago I went to a Bridal Convention with my family. I know it sounds weird, but my mom has a bakery so we went this year to see if it would be worth it to have a booth there next year. I can’t tell you how many times I got asked if I was getting married! Haha it was actually pretty funny, and it was cool to see all of the pretty dresses and jewelry! But I thought I would show you guys what I wore since we had to get somewhat dressed up.
Sweater: Forever 21
Skirt: H&M
Tights: Nordstrom
Booties: Macy’s
I thought this outfit was perfect for the convention because it was kind of dressy but still casual, and very comfortable at the same time! I also really love skater skirts, so it was a good excuse to wear one (:
I got this necklace a couple of years ago from Charlotte Russe. It’s one of my favorites because of the back!
I absolutely love this bow in the back! I think it’s a really nice detail of the necklace.
These shoes have quickly become one of my favorite pairs! They go with so many outfits and they are the perfect booties for someone who doesn’t want a high heel pair (me in a nutshell!).
And of course, Perry had to get in on all the fun…
He is getting so big! And his sense of exploration is getting just as big, and as a result he broke the ceramic holder for one of my plants. He is really sweet for the most part though, so this doesn’t happen too often (:
So there it is! I really love this outfit and I think it’s pretty versatile as well. I also love the colors for winter!
What’s your favorite thing to wear when you have to get a little dressed up?

Hey guys! So I have already told you all, fall is one of my favorite seasons! I had a mini pumpkin cupcake at my mom’s bakery today, and it made me so happy and it was pretty much the greatest thing all day. Fall has definitely arrived in my neck of the woods! All the trees are turning yellow and orange, and they’re so gorgeous (:
Anyway, today I am going to share what I have been wearing for the fall season! I have really been loving dark colors like deep red, maroon, and forest green. I just got maroon tights that I have a slight obsession with…
So here they are!
- Military Jacket from Nordstrom
- Purple sweater from Forever 21
- Jeans from American Eagle
- All Star Converses
I really love this military jacket; it isn’t too thick but it still provides a lot of warmth and is really cute at the same time! It is also just thin enough that I can layer it with other sweaters.
Here is another way I wore it!- Gray sweater: Nordstrom
- Jeans: American Eagle
- Ugg boots: Nordstrom
I also wanted to include this picture because I never do anything with my hair; I usually let it dry naturally but I was apparently feeling inspired that day (: So nice hair it was! And the fact that it takes 45 minutes to curl my hair is very off putting…
Some more Comfy/Casual looks…
- Scarf: I actually crocheted it myself! Crocheting is a secret obsession of mine…
- Sweater: Nordstrom
- Leggings: Nordstrom
- Uggs: Nordstrom
I know, I got all of these items at Nordstrom, but I bought a bunch of fall clothes there about a month ago because I had a Nordstrom Note, and I went a little crazy…I really love their clothes…
- Sweater: Nordstrom (this is seriously on of the comfiest sweaters ever)
- Shirt: Nordstrom
An outfit like this is so great for days where you want to look cute but also be comfy.
Also, this picture features my jeep (affectionately called El Jepe, I really don’t know why) in the background (:
One of my current obsessions…SKATER SKIRTS!
I seriously love them.
- Crop sweater: Nordstrom
- Gray skater skirt: Nordstrom
- Maroon tights: Pacsun
- Steve Maddon Boots: Macy’s
I am in love right now with skater skirts! I really love this outfit in general; it’s super comfy and the skirt is so fun to wear.
Here is this outfit with black tights, no socks and a different necklace. Also with my hair curled!
I wore this to a job shadow at Fox Studios! I had a blast and did it with one of my best friends who also took all of these pictures for me (: I will give a link to her blog at the end of the post!
- Sweater: Nordstrom
- Skirt: Nordstrom
- Neckalce: Forever 21
I really love this outfit as well! This sweater is incredibly soft. And the back is amazing! I’m enamored by it.
Isn’t it super cool?! It was love at first sight.
Another way I wore this sweater! And also another skater skirt!! This one is from H&M.
- Jean jacket: Macy’s
- Dress: Forever 21
- Necklace: Forever 21
When I first saw this dress, I instantly fell in love. It is so flowy and really comfortable to wear. I just thought it had a really cool pattern; inside the crosses there is a floral pattern that I adore. It also has a sweetheart neckline trimmed with fake leather! I thought it was just really cool overall.
Well that is all of the outfits I have put together so far! I am so excited for the fall and winter because it means comfy sweater weather and big chunky scarves (: I am definitely one happy bee!
Also, a great big thanks to one of my bestest friends, Joycie, for taking all of these pictures! You can check out her blog here.

Hey guys!
So a few weeks ago I cut an over-sized T-shirt to make it a cute tank top! I actually made the T-shirt myself (well I put the quote on it, I didn’t actually sew it together or anything) but wanted it to be a tank top. So I decided to cut it! I have a tank top that’s a very similar shape and I love it because it’s really versatile; I definitely wanted this T-shirt to look the same!
 |
| T-shirt before I cut it |
I made the stencil using my Cricut machine. As you can see, the paint bled through the lines, but I actually like how it did that! The awkward little dot was supposed to be a star. I know, it really doesn’t look anything like one, but oh well.
 |
|
| I used these dye’s to make the quotes. |
For the dye, I first mixed the blue and green (using more blue) and lightened the resulting color with white. I painted it on the shirt, let it dry over night, and bada bing it was done.
For the cutting, I first cut off the sleeves. But I turned it inside out first so I could see the seems better, cutting on the inside of the seems so they were no longer part of the shirt. It provided a helpful guideline so it was even on both sides.
Next, I turned it outside in again, and cut off about four inches or so from the bottom.
Tip: about halfway through cutting the bottom, I folded the already-cut part over the other side, so the line was straight and even all the way across.
Then I cut the thick collar part off so the tank top would be more relaxed looking.
As you can see, I did the same thing here as I did with the bottom; about halfway through I folded the cut side over the other one, so the curve was the same all the way across.
After that, I was done!
I’m really happy with how it turned out!
And, of course, I had to throw in some pictures of Angel and Perry “helping.”
 |
| Haha, I caught her mid-blink I think |
Hope you guys like how the tank top turned out! It wasn’t too difficult, but I thought it would be nice just to give you guys some of the little tips that I used to ensure even cuts.
Have you ever cut T-shirts to make tank tops? How did they turn out?
Have a great day! (:
