Feathers

Photobucket
What I'm Wearing: Purple J Crew dress, flower print MUDD wedges, brown Forever21 belt, and feather earrings made by me :).

Hey Guys, sorry for my absence. I had a family tragedy this weekend. I did take these pics out the other day and thought I'd post it today so I won't go another week without posting at all. I made the feather earrings myself! I'm contemplating whether to do a video tutorial or just a post DIY on how to make them. Let me know which one would be  better! Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy the pics and hopefully next week I should be back to blogging regularly.

I hope you guys are having a great day!

Fireworks!

Photobucket
What I'm Wearing: White Michael Kors blouse, khaki Michael Kors shorts, ring and earrings from Forever21, my mom's necklace, BCBGeneration slang bracelet and shoes from Aldo.

I am so sorry I haven't been updating my blog everyday. My photographer (aka my bf), has been extremely busy. I was so desperate today, I asked my dad to take the pics and lo and behold he actually did a great job! So no more excuses, I will (hopefully) be posting everyday.

So every year my town usually host a firework show the week after the 4th of July. It's really fun, everyone comes from the neighboring towns to watch the display. I took some pics of the outfit I wore and tried to snap a few pics of the fireworks from my iPhone as well. I tried to take as much pictures as possible before the sun went down while coaching my dad on how to use my nikon! On another note, I will be attempting to do some tutorials later this week, mainly hair and DIY jewelry. Also, if you guys have any request please leave them in the comment box below. Ok enough blabbering, off to the photos!

I hope you guys like!

New Shoes!

Photobucket


Hey guys! So I went to the mall to get my feather extensions, but I didn't really like the ones they had left and they were charging an arm and a leg to install them. I think I might just order them online and install them myself. If I do, I'll post a tutorial on how to install your own feather extensions. Anyways, I figured since I drove all the way here might as well go shopping! I've been looking for comfortable heeled wedges, I have a couple but they hurt my feet after a while. I found these at Aldo's on sale for $38.00! I think I'll start posting hauls every time I go shopping, what do you guys think? If you would like to see more haul post let me know in the comments below!

I hope everyone is having a great tuesday!

Red, white and Fabulous!

Photobucket
What I'm Wearing: Blue tie-dye Forever21 dress, brown braided Forever21 belt, white Michael Kors watch, white wedges from Charlotte Russe.

Happy 4th of July everyone! Today we had a BBQ by my aunts house. We went in the pool and lit fireworks! I love the summer, especially hot sunny days like today!

For my outfit I decided to not be so literal with the red, white and blue. I choose a tribal print blue dress with white accessories and tied in the red with my lipstick. I wanted to post some pictures now to show you guys my outfit! I might be posting more later tonight. If you guys dressed patriotic today, post a link below! I would love to see everyone's 4th of July outfits!

I hope everyone is having a happy July 4th!

Spectacles

Photobucket
What I'm Wearing: Blush top from H&M, black leggings from Forever21, glasses from Urban Outfitters, Simply Vera black wedges, bag from Paris flea market, earrings from Forever21, necklace from Claire's, BCBGeneration slang bracelet and Michael Kors gold watch.

Hey guys! So, I went to a mall in Jersey yesterday to see Bad Teacher (which was hilarious by the way) and found these frames from Urban Outfitters for $12! I was going to take pictures of the glasses by itself, but decided might as well take some pics of my outfit as well. I stopped by Woodbury Commons outlet center today, which is like 10 minutes from my house, to check out the 4th of July deals they had going on. I bought 4 things from J Crew for $25! I didn't get to go into too many stores since I got there at 8pm and the mall closed at 9pm.

I also discovered a kiosk in the mall (in Jersey) that does feather extensions! I will definitely be venturing over there this week to get them. I'll keep you posted on the outcome of the extensions.

I hope everyone had a exciting weekend! I will be posting pictures tomorrow of my 4th of July outfit and manicure in the afternoon, so make sure you look out for that post! Also, don't forget to enter my giveaway ending this thursday!

July Wish List

So like any girl, we all have wish list! The beginning of every month, I'll post the top 10 things I want for the month. Whenever I get an item from my wish list I'll let you guys know, whether it be in a styling post or just a random update! I would also love to know what are your top 10 things you want for the month of July! If you do something similar on your blog post a link below, or just write a list in the comment section of your top 10 wish list for July!





1. Pink Jeans - I've been wanting a pair of pink jeans for a while! When I was interning last semester, my supervisor had a pair and I instantly fell in love. I found this pair at asos.com. They're on sale too!

2. Tail Hem Dress - I love this trend! I especially love that fast fashion retailers are starting to create less expensive versions the same season, making it attainable for fashion junkies like me who lack millions of dollars ;p. Lulus.com has a lot of tail hem dresses, however the one above is my favorite! The frills of the dress play into the 70's trend as well, which I love!

3. Sheer Maxi Skirt - I love maxi skirts! I think they are so feminine. However, the sheerness of the maxi skirt above gives it an edge that is most deff calling my name!!! I found this skirt on Romwe.com. This site is awesome, it has a lot of trendy pieces for affordable prices. Also, they select a handful of fashion bloggers to give their personal style to the garments!

4. Feather Extensions - OMG, this is a must have! I love feathers! I think it gives you a boho, 70's look! I will deff me purchasing some extensions next week. I'll do a post to show you how they came out! I found these feathers on etsy.com, but they are all over the internet! Just search for feather extensions and I guarantee you'll find ones that you love!

5. Jeffery Campbell Lita's - Okay, so I know most of you must be thinking "have you been hiding under a rock?" Almost every fashion blogger has a pair of these babys, but honestly interning full time for free kind of prevented me from spending big bucks on my fashion desires! Lita's are a must for the 70's fashion trend, and they will be in position shortly! (I hope). You can kind them in all different shapes and colors, all over the internet but I think mine will be purchased on Karmaloop.com!

6. OPI Shatter Nail Polish - If you can't tell by now, I'm a nail polish fanatic! I love to accessorize my outfits with bright and/or interesting colors on my nails and lips. I got hook on the crackle craze when my previous supervisor brought me back a bottle of black crackle polish from Hong Kong. Ever since then I've been collecting shatter nail polishes from OPI, China Glaze and Sally Hansen. I really want the blue and turquoise shatter polish from OPI, these colors are not in my position yet but soon will be! I found a great deal on amazon.com, selling both of these colors for $12!

7. Leopard Print Wedges - I love prints, especially leopard! I instantly fell in love with these wedges! I already planned a outfit around them, that is why I'm ordering them from Forever21.com as we speak! :D

8. Big Black Framed Glasses - For my lipstick post, I popped out the lenses from my 3D movie glasses on a whim to see how they would look with my outfit and red lips and I instantly fell in love with the look. I never thought about wearing these big nerdy frames before, in horror of traveling back in the past of my geeky phase during middle school, but I totally love the look and whilst on the hunt for finding the perfect pair I came across this pair from Michael Kors. They are the Michael Kors Ophthalmic MK652, if any of you are interested in joining the nerd brigade with me! ;p

9. High Waisted Bikini - I am absolutely in love with this bikini! I'm really loving this retro trend, but the added bonus of the polka dots sold me over! I found this bikini at Modcloth.com, and for $90 its a steal compared to the $300 Marc by Marc Jacobs bikini that I wish would magically appear in my closet with no questions asked!

10. Bright Colored Envelope Clutch - Last but not least, is the final touch to my attempt of perfecting color blocking. The color, shape and size of this clutch is perfect (and the price is not bad either!) I found this tangerine colored clutch from Asos.com. Not only is it on trend for this season, but the detailing gives it a vintage edge. This clutch will deff be a purchase I make this month, even if I don't fulfill the entirety of my wish list!

Let me know what you guys think of this post and don't forget to enter my giveaway!! 

I hope you guys are having a fabulous friday....I'm off to do some online shopping!
