Haul: Charlotte Russe and Hollister

Hello everybody!

Wow, it's the last day of November! One more month of 2014! 

So on Friday, it was Black Friday (one of my favorite times of the year) and I bought a few things. In this post, I'm going to share what I bought from Charlotte Russe and Hollister. I will share what I bought from other stores in another post since I'm waiting for some things to arrive in the mail.

This is less than half of my Black Friday Haul, but it's what I have right now. Everything else is on it's way. I chose to do a lot of online shopping this year because I didn't want to wait in line. Black Friday lines are terrible... not to mention finding a parking space at the mall! I went at 7:30 in the morning and found a pretty good parking space. Then I went to another mall around 1:00 pm and had to park so far away!

I hoped you enjoyed this haul. Sorry about last week, school get so hectic sometimes.

Thanks so much for reading. I'll see you soon!

OOTD: Braving the Cold

Hello everybody!

Winter is coming! (Yes, that was a Game of Thrones reference)

The weather is just getting colder and colder.... This outfit isn't appropriate for the winter weather, but I still like it.

It was so cold the day Riv and I took this picture and it was also raining slightly during this picture. I took my cardigan off for a split second to take this picture and threw it on immediately afterwards. Good thing this came out alright because I was not going to take another picture, haha.

There you go! For my makeup, I used Jordana Easy Liner for eyes Retractable Pencil in black, Maybelline the Falsies Volum' Express in Black Drama, and Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in 230 Coral Garden.

I still have one more picture from the photoshoot but I might not use it, so we'll be back to the mirror pictures. 

I added two new pages to my blog: About me/Contact and Song on Repeat. Go check them out! They're near the top of the blog on the right side.

One more thing:

ONE DIRECTION'S NEW ALBUM COMES OUT TOMORROW!!!! WHO'S EXCITED?? I AM!!! Eek!! I'm so proud of them and the album sounds amazing so far!!! Don't turn away from the album simply because it's by One Direction. It's actually amazing and their sound is more mature now. No more bubblegum pop songs like their first album (which, by the way, was still amazing). The next few Song on Repeats will most likely be from their new album. So go buy it or something!

OOTD: Pirate?

Hello everybody!

In case you're wondering about the title of this post, my brother asked me why I was dressed like a pirate when I wore this outfit. I didn't think I looked like one, but he obviously thought I did. 

Riv (x) and I recently did a mini photo shoot where we just took pictures in my front and backyard. We would have taken more pictures except it started raining. (Stupid weather...) We took a total of three pictures before the sky started crying. I'll reveal the pictures in three different posts, so here's the first one:

This is the one where I'm hiding my face because.... IT'S FACE REVEAL TIME!

Ready or not, here it comes: 

There you go, my face.

Now onto the clothes:

You can't really see my face, but hey, there you go. 

For my makeup, I used Jordana Easy Liner for eyes Retractable Pencil in black, Maybelline the Falsies Volum' Express in Black Drama, and Maybelline Color Whisper in 30 Pin Up Peach.

So, do I look like a pirate?

Thanks so much for reading. I'll see you soon!

September/October Favorites

Hello everybody!

Wow, November already? There's only two more months left of 2014!
Here are somethings that I have been loving:

1. Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Moss in 107
I love Kate Moss lipsticks! They are highly pigmented, affordable, and they stay on forever. I think it's dark red color is great for the fall. I wore it to my friend's Sweet 16 and during Halloween. The color made it through dinner and I didn't need to touch up on it at all. For Halloween, I liked the dark vampy look it gave my costume.

2. Bow Clips
I started getting into bow clips recently. I got bored of just leaving my hair down for school and decided to accessorize it a bit with a clip. I usually take the front pieces of my hair and pull them back, clipping them with the bow clip. Sometimes I tie my hair up in a ponytail and clip the bow at the top of the ponytail or braid my hair and put the clip at the bottom of the braid. I think bows are super cute and girly.
I got these two from Forever 21 recently:

3. Organix Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil Conditioner
I bought this conditioner during the summer and it has worked wonders for my hair. I have definitely noticed the difference in my hair. It is so much softer and smoother now. It has also grown a lot quicker, which I am really happy about!

4. TV Shows
Fall literally means the start of my favorite TV shows: Agents of Shield, The X Factor, The 100 and Once Upon a Time. I started watching How to Get Away With Murder yesterday and I absolutely love it. Unfortunately, that's gonna have to go into the November/December favorites.
I could go on and on about these shows, but I'll leave you links to them instead:

The X Factor x
The 100 x
Once Upon a Time x
If you watch The X Factor, who are you rooting for? There are some pretty amazing people on this year, but I love Only The Young and Stereo Kicks.

5. Starbucks Caramel Macchiato
Caramel Macchiato is my favorite hot Starbucks drink. It's the only thing I get when the weather gets cold. I tried the Pumpkin Spice Latte recently and it's okay. I don't really get why everyone goes crazy about it.

Those are just a few things that I have been loving. What have you been loving recently?
Next week is going to be an exciting week: I have a four day weekend! Yay!! Next blog post will feature.... my face. Gasp! Finally!

Thanks so much for reading. I'll see you soon!
