Polka Dots with an Edge

I couldn't resist a fitted faux leather moto jacket that was on clearance at Nordstorms! I immediately picked it up, a bit snug because it's fitted, but definitely worth getting! I wanted to give a girly trend an edgy look by mixing polka dots and my new moto jacket. It's still pretty warm out here in southern California so I can get away with shorts, but this look works with colored skinnies or just regular denim skinnies! Hope this inspires you to turn girly looks more edgy and vice versa!

I wanted to do a close up of my necklace! Unfortunately, it's camera phone quality, but you get the jist! Love this collar necklace and my knuckle ring!

Summer Days Makeup

It's summer and we all know cake-faces don't last during the hot days. Having to touch up constantly isn't any girl's ideal day either. I've turned to using tinted moisturizers to make my makeup weight a bit lighter than usual. The two tinted moisturizers I've been using is Aveda's Tinted Moisture. It is SPF 15 and medium coverage. Though the coverage is not buildable, any concealer can fix that problem. This product was purchased from the Aveda salon at my local mall. On the days I need more coverage, I turn to my Urban Decay Tinted Moisturizer. This one is SPF 20 and paraben free. This has a buildable coverage, closer to a full coverage foundation. I did purchase this product from HauteLook (a flash sale website CLICK HERE to join.)

Stripes Trend! OUTFIT & MAKEUP

I absolutely adore the stripes trend! Recently got my hands on some striped high-waisted shorts too! Today for a day just to run errands, I threw on this striped shirt with puffy sleeves and red high-waisted shorts.

Top: Cotton On ($10)
Shorts: Forever21 ($13)

(more natural lighting)

I wanted to keep the look simple, but refreshing. I wore a complete face with Trace Gold sheer tone blush by MAC as a contour with Pink Passion and Candid Coral (both) by E.L.F. (mixed together for more natural look) for my blush. For my eye look, I used Too Cool (of course from the Maybelline Color Tattoo collection, I'M OBSESSED WITH!) all over my lid, with a medium brown in my crease to keep the look light, but add depth to my eyes. The Too Cool on my lid came be a more youthful with brighter eyes look. With no eyeliner, I just added the dramatic lashes by E.L.F. For my highlight, I used a nude shimmer color. Hope you guys enjoyed this look!

Cheetah Loafers? [ REVISED 09/18/12 ]

At first, I was NOT  fan of the loafer trend, but it started to grow on me. Plus, I am a huge sucker for cheetah print shoes. I have cheetah print flats and booties already so these loafers were not necessarily needed, but they were on sale at Khols and I couldn't pass them up! Wanted to try out the look and I loved it. They gave an edge to my simple look today with just a white sleeveless button down and black dress shorts. If I were to add the flats, it would be more preppy, but I wanted a edge-y laid back look! What do you guys think of this trend?

[09/18/12]

It seems to be that animal print is here to STAY! It's a great way to throw some edge to a look or tone down a look as a neutral! I'm happy to share with you guys that TARGET is having a sale on their cheetah loafers (or tuxedo flats... as they call them!) Here is the link to the shoe (Comes in other prints and colors)! Happy shopping!

April Showers Bring May Flowers

Kicking spring looks into high gear now! I wanted to look a bit dressy for my last day of lectures today! Dressed up my floral tank top from the Lauren Conrad collection at Kohls with a pale pink blazer from Forever21. Stacking bracelets is so popular now. Mixed pearls with some gold bangles and a neon yellow pyramid bracelet, which seemed to match my tank top perfectly! Threw in some green eyeliner to my eye look to complete the whole look. Used a glittery pink to buff out the colors with a brown in the crease and of course has Too Cool from the Color Tattoo collection by Maybelline.

Chic ponytail!

Who would have thought you could turn a simple ponytail so elegant? Another Kardashian style! Luckily for me, I was able to contact an amazing Etsy seller to make this piece. Sorry my messy last minute hair before work, but I was anxious to do this post! I also have a great double chain ring for the seller (link posted below). She was able to recreate a dupe of Kim's gorgeous hair piece first spotted during her family's Dubai trip! I absolutely adore this piece, turns my quick ponytail before work/school to something well done! Check out this Etsy store and feel free to let her know I sent you her way!

Can't go wrong with Hello Kitty

Finally making use of my Loungefly Hello Kitty purse. It’s so big, I can carry my life in there, I love it. I used to think it was too much (flashy, pink, etc.), but now I adore it. I wanted it just to have it. It's absolutely amazing! Makes my outfit pop and great color for the spring. It is now available in a MINT color! Great to get your hands on for spring also! You can't go wrong with Hello Kitty! So stylish and cute.
