Skinny Jeans.

Hey there lovelies :)
I have recently received a comment from a really rad but anonymous commenter that would like to know where they could purchase colored skinny jeans as mentioned in this post right here. Places I like to buy COLORED jeans from range from Target and Charlotte Russe to the occasional pair of Michael Kors' if I'm visiting their outlet store in Williamsburg (I once found a pair of MK jeans for $20!!!) Another place to check is Old Navy, their rockstar jeans not only fit like a freaking glove, but they're always on discount ;)

PRODUCT REVIEW- MAC's Candy Yum Yum

Hey beauts! See this lovely pink lip color? Well this is called Candy Yum Yum, or I like to call it "the greatest lipstick color EVER", the name that I used to call MAC's Ruby Woo. I am obsessed with this color! It looks good on every complexion and for darker skin, it goes awesome with a plum colored liner (I like to use Vino). For lighter skin, you could either do Vino, but you could also just to a true pink liner as well :) This lipstick retails at $14, but I got it for free 99! Wanna know how? I participated in the Back 2 M·A·C Recycling program. Trade in six empty (or depotted like I do) MAC products and you can redeem a free lipstick, an eyeshadow or a lipgloss (excluding VIVA Glam products).

Well that's all I've got to say!

Goodbye :)

Current Obsession: 90s/Early 2000s Revival

If the Poetic Justice braids, backwards snapback, and bamboo hoops weren't enough of a clue, I am currently obsessed with this whole late 90s/early 2000s throwback going on.This is what I wore when I went to Bruno Mars' concert in DC on 6/22/13 (hence the tee). The earrings are from claire's/icing, the hat is from urban outfitters, the tee is from hot topic (no longer available, sorry!), the vest is from Macys, and the lipstick is Candy Yum Yum by MAC (I got it for free due to the MAC recycle program, check it out!)

NOW BACK TO THE BLOG BEBE!
As a product of the 90s, all of these fashions like the transparent raincoats, snapbacks, bright colors, funky lipsticks, and pop princess inspired clothes are so nostalgic and remind me of my childhood watching endless Nickelodeon, non stop Lizzie McGuire, countless amounts of Clueless and listening to (and still do listen to) Christina Aguilera, Backstreet, NSync, Britney Spears, Spice Girls, Mandy Moore, Robyn, 5ive, Savage Garden and so many more cavity enducing bubblegum pop acts! Just being able to remember when these looks were hip and new is such an awesome feeling! & seeing them come back is even better!

Shoutout to Niki Takesh for wearing her childhood! Check out her site right here! & while you're checking her out, you should totally peep my tumblr located right hurrrrrr :)

Stop being so shy loves! Talk to me! :)

Love it or leave it?: Overalls

Hey there lovelies,
I was recently on the interwebs (particularly tumblr, which you should check out and follow RIGHT CHEA), and I've noticed one common theme....OVERALLS! *dramatic horrror music and scream* Yea, remember those things we wore back in Pre School and then went through a period of pure hatred towards during that awkward "I'm not a little kid" phase during the 5th grade? Yep, they're hip now and in my opinion....THEY ARE SO TOTALLY ADORABLE. I will be rocking this comfortably chic piece all summer in both a chic and casual way! Some days I might go straight up '94 and rock a band tee and some docs, while on another day I'd gladly wear heels and a bandeau underneath. I'm gonna DIY a pair and post the hopefully delightful results on here for all of my babies to see!

NOW GIVE ME THE VERDICT...Do we despise, like or love?

tell me in the comments.
Much love,

Fashion Icon- Ariana Grande

Okay, unless you've been under a rock or simply don't watch Nickelodeon anymore, you've probably never heard of Ariana Grande. Ariana stars on this show called VicTORIous which I have never watched, but I have heard of the sweet little lady that this blogpost is dedicated to via youtube. There's actually an entire tumblr page dedicated to her style right right hurr , y'all should check it out ;)

ANYWHOO, here's the skinny on Ari's style.
Ariana's style is very cute-sy and girly & from my observations, these are a few pieces I think would go perfectly with her ice cream parlor-esque style.


Bralette Tops - Mkay, so I know y'all are probably thinking that this top is a bit flimsy, but trust me, if you're a bit self conscious about flaunting all ya body, just pair this top with a thigh length cardigan, a blazer, a denim vest or a denim jacket. On the bottom, high waisted pants (Colorful harem pants would be gorgeous), high waisted flowy skirt, or high waisted vintage shorts (think Kelly Capowski, ayeee). If you dont mind flashing a bit of tummy, a pair of aztec leggings (I saw a pair in VS PINK yesterday!), some flattering jeans (trust me, the wrong fit in jeans can give even the skinniest girl a mondo muffin top) or a pretty skirt.


Girly Top- Ariana is such a cutie pie. She is always wearing cute little girly outfits with pretty tops. Go for tops with a bib-like collar and sweet floral prints and pastel colors. I found the most adorable sleeveless tops with bib-collars covered in pearl-like beads at Marshall's. I got one in Cobalt blue, its amazing adorbz.


Flowy Skirts- There isnt much to say about this one, but bright colored skirts matched up with a cute tucked in top is so Ariana, me gusta!


Minnie Mouse Bows- BTW I just came up with that name, I think these bows are so sweet and presh and will make any person look like a cupcake!

Neon Skinny Jeans- Skinny legs, and bright colors! Let's rock it!

 

 

Pumps- We love the girls with the pumps and a bump (mc hammer reference, lol).

 

Cute Phone Case- just a fun bonus :3

 

OKAY OKAY IM DONE NOW! So does that kind of sum up Ari's look? Comment below and let me know how I'm doing :) Here's the cutest cover Ariana has done :3 its a cover of that Biebz song "Die In Your Arms".

 

Alright I'm outie ;) THANK YOU FOR BEING SO DARN AMAZING AND READIN MY BLOG!

How bout you do it yourself?: punk jacket

Okay guys, before I give my itty bitty tutorial, I would like to apologize and extend the olive branch to y'all for my excessive tardiness. Sorry bout datt >_<





 

 

 

 

BUT HERE IS WHAT WE WILL BE WORKING ON. Camo jackets :)
Okay, I am going to say this once, and once only. THESE CAMO JACKETS ARE EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND & YOU MIGHT HAVE TO INVEST SOME MONEY INTO IT. I ended up buying mine from Urban Outfitters, but I recently saw one at Pac Sun (my goodwill sucks so I couldnt find one :c) and since I'm a freaking boss, I put a bunch of punk patches on it. I got them from this awesome and CHEAP online store called Interpunk, GO CHECK EM OUT! I believe they're based out of Richmond, Va which is awesome because I live in Virginia! I only got 4 patches (Sublime, Nirvana, an American Flag and AntiFlag) but I'm deffo getting more! All I did to attatch my patched was to stitch on the the cloth ones (American Flag & AntiFlag) and I hotglued the iron ons because I can never properly get those things attatched! Be Tee Dubz, when I stitched the patches, I did it sloppy because 1) it looked edgy and 2) I suck at sewing :)

YOU CAN ADD GEMS, STUDS, SPIKES, PATCHES WHATEVER YOUR HEART DESIRES! I'm just givin ideas here baby squirrel <3

this is what I was listening to while blogging -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OdTBCgqRt4
"Blood For Poppies" by Garbage, shoutout to Shirley Manson for rockin' this hard for amost 32 years!
