New Year's Glam

No matter where you'll be or what you'll be doing on New Years Eve, make sure to pair just the right accesories with your outfit. Here, I'll be using this sequin dress as an example. Above are some awesome accesories to pair with it. A bold red lip, because this is the time to go way out there. Nude heels by Jimmy Choo and a gold clutch to match. A chunky, glitter eyeshadow and natural face. And to tie it all off, a slouchy red blazer. Hope these tips help!


Where will you be when the clock strikes twelve?

What's on my List?

I'm making my list, I'm checking it twice... Hey beauties! Christmas is literally right around the corner, so I figured I'd share my wish list with you!

The first things I really want are all of the  christmas scents from Diamond Candles! They cost $25 each (probaably because one of them might have a $5,000 ring inside!).  If I don't get any of these for christmas I'll most likely end up buying 1 or 2.

The second thing I want is this baggy beach jumper from Wildfox Couture. It says 'Eight days a week I <3 you' Isn't that so cute? I love it! baggy beach jumpers are super comfy and cozy, but are kinda pricey at  $108. But they have good sales. A couple of weeks ago, on HauteLook, they were on a big sale. I missed it, but I'm watching for great deals.

The last thing that I want for Christmas is the Peace, Love, and Juicy Couture perfume from Juicy Couture. It's has notes of jasmine, magnolia, and honeysuckle. The bottle is also SUPER COOL. It's so boho and chic, with turqoise gems, pink pom-poms, and bohemian charms.

So, what's on your list this year?

Chic for the Holidays!

Hey beauties!!! I just thought up this gorgeous look for this holiday season. it's classy, yet fun. It's totally cute for any party or event this time of year! I found this flirty dress when I searched red cocktail dress on Google, but I don't recall where it's from. It's a wine red, and cinches at the waist. The drapeline from the neck is super hard to miss. The sparkly pumps are from Miu Miu, and who can resist gold glitter paired with little black bows?!? The elegant bracelet is from Tiffany & Co.and is a total must-have for any outfit. The pearl and diamond earrings are from overstock, and are so glamourous, yet so casual. And last but most definitely not least, the adorable emerald-green clutch! It's from Valentino, so you can't possibly not love it! It's a silky satin material in a bow, just like those sparkle pumps! This holiday outfit is super cute, and totally chic. Be sure to check back soon for more holiday party looks!

Glam Makeup Ideas For the Holidays!

        It's that time of year again. Yep. You guessed it. The holidays! Where you get to attend all those fun parties and look glamorous. But what's an awesome dress and killer shoes without gorgeous makeup? This year, try soft,pearly makeup instead of heavy makeup. Dust a light setting powder over your foundation, and use a shimmery peach blush like Deep Throat by NARS. It's a gorgeous peachy color with flecks of gold shimmer. Perfect for chilly December! As for your eye makeup, let your eyes be the focal point of your look. Try an emerald green or jade for your eyeshadow, and use a thin black or brown liner. Or, you can even do a neutral eye and use a bright colored liner on your lower lash line. I absolutely love neutral colored pops! Layer different mascaras to create a one-of-a-kind, unique look. You can even use false lashes, plain ones or a crazy look. E.L.F. has some cool, eye-catching false lashes. It's better to experiment with makeup during break or with friends, so you can create totally new looks in your spare time! With your lips, keep it sheer and not so dark, or it'll divert all the attention away from your makeup! Try using a buildable hot pink, or a rosy coral lipstick, and layer a glittery gloss over it. Super cute! This look is easy to recreate, and you can use it for all sorts of events. But don't forget to make it your own! Have a great holiday season, everyone, and stay safe. :)

I'm Sorry :(

You guys!!! I haven't been on here in soooo long! I'm really sorry. I'm going to start publishing more posts, maybe 2 a week or so. :) Again, REALLY sorry. I had so much work to do for school, and have been busting my chop trying to finish everything. but now I'm back, and ready to start this blog up again! Love you guys!

Books, Books, Books!

          I've noticed that I'me going a little book-crazy at the moment. Right now, there's a stack of like 16 books on my desk, books I really want to read. I get sorta out of control when I go to the library. Basket in hand, I pull down book after book until my load is 20 lbs. or more. Literally. And I read my books too. I will seriously sit down, book in hand and forget where I am or what I'm doing for hours on end. Reading is just my thing. I'll attach some links to books that I absolutely love below.

The Hunger Games Trilogy

The Missing Series

The Mysterious Benedict Society

Tell me, what's your favorite book to read?

Welcome Fall!

          Now that summer has come and gone, it's time for fall! I love whenever fall comes around. It always makes me think of the crisp, fresh air, pumpkin carving, and of course, the turning leaves! Ever since I was little, my friends and I would rake all the leaves we could in a pile, and then jump in them over and over again. I still do this, and look forward to it every year. In my corner of the world, it's still kinda warm this time of year. It's nice, because I can go outside in a t-shirt and shorts and see tons of falling leaves. I totally love October, when people have bonfires and carve pumpkins and have amazing artwork falling from their trees (talking about leaves). Autumn is totally my favoite season, and I hope it doesn't go by too fast! Just thought I'd share this fun-filled season with you guys. :)

Tell me... what's your favorite season?

Nighty-Night: Sleep Tight

It's happened to all of us. Had too much caffiene before bed, didn't relax until it was time to sleep, wasn't tired at all. Whatever your problem, insomnia can make you super tired and cranky the next day if you dont stop it. Here are some great tips for falling asleep faster:

Spray a comforting scent. I wouldn't recommend spraying a sweet of citrusy scent, because that tends to wake your body up. Try something like Lavender Chamomile Body Spray I spray mine over my sheets a few minutes before I lay down, and the scent is so calming. I also love to burn candles. Bath And Body Works has some fantastic ones to choose from.

Relax! When you're running around all day you probably are still wide awake at bed time. Try taking a soothing bath, reading a pleasure book, or drawing/ writing. It's a great way to lose all of the stress that accumulates in your mind throughout the day.

Control your caffiene. in addition to not being healthy for you, caffiene will make you buzz, not sleep. If you want to have a coffee, a soda, or chocolate (which is chock-full of the stuff), try to not eat  or drink it after 7-8 P.m., depending on when you want to go to bed.

What's your favorite way to end the day?

Sweet Dreams :)

Trend-Spotting: Camel Clothes

Hey girls! So a couple of nights ago I had such a crazy dream. I was sitting, front and center, at New York Fashion Week! The real crazy thing was, though, that all of the models were wearing camel-colored clothes! When I say camel, I mean a soft, brown, sort of a mix between beige and tan, close to a caramel. I mean, dont get me wrong, but I wouldn't exactly want to wear camel everywhere I go. For the next few days, I started seeing camel! At all these shops and in ads, the first color my mind saw was camel! I was totally driving me nuts. But then I started thinking, Hey. Camel's a nice color. It's soft, and really wearable. It got me thinking.  You could go all out in camel, or incorparate a few pieces into your wardrobe. It's a great color for fall, because it's not super bright, it's kinda muted. Here are some fantastic pieces that I found online:

Butter London Nail Polish!

Hey girls! Have you ever tried those Butter London nail polishes? I totally fell in love with them after seeing tons of beauty gurus talk aout how great they are. I only have four of their colors, though. They're: Teddy Girl, Knees Up, Cheeky Chops, and Henley Regatta. Super cute name aside, each polish has very good consistency, and has a clean finish. They are a bit pricey, and run about $14 in the U.S. I bought mine at Ulta, but you can also start your collection at http://www.butterlondon.com/ I think these are good investments, and a great gift idea for a nail polish adict like my self!

I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream!

Hey guys! So today my mom asked me if I wanted anyting from the grocery store. I asked her for some ice cream, and so she brought me some of the yummiest ice cream that I've EVER tasted! It was Edy's Fun Flavors in Drumstick. I've never really liked the "drumstick" type of ice cream before this, but it's really delicious. It's basically just chocolate-coated peanuts(yum!) and pieces of come in vanilla ice cream with swirls of fudge. It's just so good that I had to blog about it. I hope this didn't bore you too much.

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM FLAVOR?
