YIKES Outfit - 4/24/08

YIKES! I just found out that I have a final next Wednesday! I know what you are think..HOW did I just find out??! Well, my teacher is kind of all over the place and decided that next week would be a good week to stop class, even though we have 3 more weeks to go!

Anyway, this weekend will be a really busy one. I have to work all day Saturday. On Sunday, I have a study group early morning until afternoon, where I go to another group meeting. The second group meeting is for a presentation I have to do on Monday. Double YIKES!! I don’t mind talking in front of class but this class is extremely brutal. Many people will grill you on your presentation and I am NOT prepared for that!!

Enough about school; lets talk fashion!

I went on a semi-SHOPPING SPREE at Wet Seal today. I picked up 14 items for only $75! They are having a huge sale! I can’t wait to take pics for you guys!

YIKES Outfit

Guess Jacket & Pant Suit in Black w/ Blue plaid

Stress-Beating Outfit - 4/22/08

Hi guys! I’ve been MIA lately sorry! Its getting down to the last weeks of school and I have a project due next week that is stressing me out! I had to look up stress-beating tactics to deal with my situation! I was planning to write one of my own and post it here.. Maybe if I have time next weekend..

I ordered my MAC products today! I can’t wait for them to come. I caved in and bought the MAC 1.6 traincase that I’ve been wanting. Will take pics when it arrives!

Anyway, here is today’s outfit.

Stress-Beating Outfit

Guess Black & White pants - $40
I used the belt that came with it as a waist belt.
Wet Seal White V-neck cotton sweater - $10!
Old Navy Gray tank top - underneath the sweater
NEW! Linea Paolo 'Mirage' Pump in Gun Metal $30

More of my Make-up pics! - 4/20/08

I received a request for more pics of my make-up and here it is!! This will be a sequel to my post regarding my Mac Pro Card. ;)

Here is a better picture of the depth of the storage box. Most of my make-up are drugstore brands, while I have a few "designer" pieces. Sounds a lot like my closet!

A close up of some of the make-up I have. I have A LOT of lipstick/lip gloss which I never use. I should start using it!!

This is the powder that I am currently using. I am trying to phase out of these and start using MAC. But I have soo many left!!

I love this Dior compact! It looks so elegant! I have 2 of these.. I'll probably never use it..

I LOVE falsies!! I don't think the first one is MAC, I'm just using the box as storage for different lashes. I have more lashes but they are scattered around my place!

MACPro Card + Haul! 4/19/08

OMG, I just received my MACPro card today and I am soo excited! I am ready for a shopping spree at MAC! My makeup has been stored in a storage box since I moved! I need to buy a traincase soo bad! I have so much stuff that I want/need to buy from MAC.

Above is a picture of the top of my storage box. I would take a picture of the box but the box has a company’s name on it and I probably shouldn’t have the box at my house!!

Here is what I've ordered so far:

Empty Eye Shadow palette (holds 15) - I’ve wanted this for soo long!

Eye Shadows - In Carbon & Black-Tied

I’m only buying 2 eyeshadows. I know this is sad, but really I have too many eye shadows. Enough to probably last me for a good 3-4 years.

The 2 eye shadows that I am purchasing are both black in color. I love adding black eye shadow to my eyes because I love the smokey-eyes look.

Brushes

217 - My favorite brush! I use this to blend and contour. One thing I don’t like about this brush is that the bristles are white. I feel like I always have to clean the brush and I hate cleaning!

This is the brush that I would use to add a little black eye shadow to my eyes.

224 - I haven’t used this brush yet but I’ve heard a lot of good things about it. I heard that it is great for blending but I’m hoping to use it to apply eye shadow.

219 - I use this brush to add a little eye shadow to my lower lash line. I love the smokey-eyes look and this brush blends everything so easily. This brush helps me create a sultry look!

213 - I haven’t used this brush but I’m hoping to use it to apply eye shadow to my lid area. I’m using sponge-tips lately because I feel more control with it. I hope this brush helps!!

I know this is a small haul but I want more! But my budget is limited so that should do for now. It’s crazy though, I have soo much makeup yet I am still buying more??!! What is wrong with me?

Target Haul - 4/19/08

I moved into my apartment at the beginning of the year and have not been able to fully furnish it. I have been furniture shopping lately and happen to find this gorgeous mirror ON CLEARANCE at Target! It was only $90.38!!

I love this mirror because it looks modern but has a unique feel to it. I LOVE black because I think it looks sleek. It also has beautiful etchings inside the frame along with a gold trim. I love it when I find something I need/want on SALE!!

I still need:

• Dining table w/ chairs
• 2 rugs - One for the dining area & one for the couch..
• 2 side tables for my bed
• 2 Lamps
• Side table for my living room
• And maybe a bed frame..

I hope I can score good deals on some of these items! ;)

Ross Haul - 4/18/08

I just came back from Ross and picked up these really cute Joey O Alligator-skin like heels in Dark Teal for only $12.99!! OMG, they had 2 other colors that I was totally going to purchase as well but the BF was there to tame my spending! I might just go back to buy them!!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I really want to just relax this weekend after HELL week. Also, I can’t wait for my graduation! I have family coming to town and we are going to have soo much fun!! SHOPPING SPREE!!

Professional Outfit - 4/17/08

Hi everyone! I hope everyone is doing well! As for me, it’s the same ol’, same ol’. =x

Anyhoo, I went to Nordstrom today again. I LOVE the smell of Nordstrom, it’s like loving the new car scent! I didn’t buy anything today because nothing was on sale!! Come on! Where is the sale at? I’m planning to purchase some clothes tomorrow at Wet Seal. As always, I will keep you guys posted on my purchases!

Today’s outfit was very professional and kind of school-girl like. I’ve been dressing so weird lately because of my uncomfortable situation w/ the ‘devil’. I hope this phase will pass because I really want to get back to my normal self!

Professional Outfit:

Banana Republic Dress - about $35-40
Banana Republic Skinny belt in black w/ silver hardware
Old Navy cotton button-up in white - $20
NEW! Boutique Nordstrom "Marlo" Heels in gray w/ bow-tie/flower-like décor - $27!!

Nordstrom Haul - 4/16/08

Today was a wonderful day! =X

Anywayyyy, here are the pictures from my Nordstrom purchase. I purchased 4 pairs of heels!

The first 2 were the same pair of shoes but different colors:

1. Linea Paolo 'Taliyah' Pump in Black $30

I can never have enough Black Pumps! I love these because, although its just another black heel, it has a somewhat unique feel to it. I love the bow tie on the side!

2. Linea Paolo 'Taliyah' Pump in Purple/Pink $30

I always end up buying 2 of everything I like. Its just a habit of mine. I love the color of these heels! I like to be a little matchy-matchy when it comes to my outfits, so these will be perfect for days when I want to stand out a little.

Just a note: If you are planning to get these, order 1/2 size up because they run small. I think its so stupid that they run small. Why not just call a size 6 - a 5 1/2? What's the point of running small??! Let's keep sizing universal people!

3. Linea Paolo 'Mirage' Pump in Gun Metal $30

Now these are some serious Pumps! I love the edginess of these heels! The metallics are so gorgeous!
4. Boutique Nordstrom 'Marlo' Pump $27

I bought these on a whim but I ended up loving it! I really wanted different color heels for my wardrobe and these were inexpensive, so basically, PERFECT! I jsut realized that I have too many patent-leather heels!

I LOVE my purchases! I can’t wait to wear each one!! I hope you all the best, tomorrow will be Thursday and the weekend will be just around the corner!! I can't wait for some relaxation!
