Final Four OOTD

As you probably know my UK wildcats made it to the final four which was today. Oh and we WON!!! :) We are going to the championship! I work for UK and I'll be attending pharmacy school at the University of Kentucky in the fall, so they are my team. I had to have an outfit appropriate to cheer on the number 1 team in the nation and this is what I came up with.


My shirt is from PINK by Victoria's Secret. It's cute and girly. It has a Uk symbol in sequins on the front and Wildcats in sequins across the back. I love this shirt.


Then I have my white scarf with blue paw prints on it. I like to mix up how I wear it to keep it interesting.


Then my kentucky blue converse, because you have to have blue in from head to toe! :)


I also wore blue eyeliner on my
Bottom lash line. And opted for pink lipstick. I wouldn't have been caught dead in my red lipstick today!

New Jewelry!!!

It's been FOREVER since I have posted something. I have been so busy with school and work! I got my physics test over with today so I am back! and with new jewelry. My sister sales jewelry from Premier Designs so I have been buying some of their pieces here lately. I have been really satisfied with their services and quality of their pieces so far. This 3 pieces are my first really fun pieces from Premier so I am excited about them. 

First up is my favorite! I LOVE them. The picture is horrible quality ( I will take another one soon) and does not do them justice. I'm pretty sure the earrings and bracelet are called Dahlia. I will find out for certain. It is the prettiest turquoise blue with bright gold. The earrings aren't too heavy so that's good too. Another thing that is interesting about the earring is they are clip-po style. You can wear them as clip ons or as post.

I'll admit I'm a complete earring addict! They are my favorite piece of jewelry. So I got another pair! This style is called Cabana. I loved these for summer. They are gold with peachy pink beads. They are really light too. 

I've been on a big gold kick here lately. I'm loving all things gold. I'm going on a cruise in June and I think these pieces will be perfect for it. 

Thanks for reading. xx

St. Patrick's Day OOTD

Happy St. Patrick's Day! It was a beautiful day today. Perfect to wear my new green pants I purchased last week! Needless to say, I didn't get pinched today. :) I love dressing up for holidays and this one is no exception, so i planned my outfit around these cropped pants. My boyfriend took me out to dinner tonight to celebrate. I learned this week that I have been accepted at the University of Kentucky college of Pharmacy! which is AMAZING! So I wanted to dress up for the occasion. Hope you like my outfit! xx

Spring OOTD

Today was beautiful! 77 degrees and sunny in Kentucky! It inspired me to have a fun outfit today. I wanted to put some color in my outfit so I wore my red with white polka dot skirt from GAP. I think it's so cute and the small polka dots make it a fun and girly print. I kept the rest of the outfit simple since I had a print on my skirt. The belt I got off another skirt that I bought at JC PENNY forever ago. It has a snake skin print on it, but it's pretty basic. I bought my flats at Journey's, they are made my Icora, almost 2 years ago now.They have a pointed tow and a frilly lacey design on the front. They are my favorite flats. They I also had class today so I kept my hair simple.

This was my favorite part of my outfit today. This is a close up of my necklace. I love it! It's perfect for spring. It is a red strawberry with gold beads in it to look like the seeds then it has a pink jewel dangling from the top. I bought this at a shop in Florence, Italy when i was there in 2007. I don't remember the name of the store now, sorry. :( I love this necklace. It is one of my favorites because I bought it on my trip and it is just a really fun piece.

Here is a picture of the bracelets I wore today. They didn't show up in the picture. The red and sliver bead bracelet was a gift from my parents when they went to New Orleans about 2 years ago. I really love this bracelet as you can see. Some of the paint has chipped off, but I wear it anyways! lol. Next, is a pink beaded bracelet that was a christmas present, so I'm not sure where it's from. Then I have my Fossil watch. I wear this all the time! It goes with anything. I really like piling on the bracelets and it's a big trend right now.

Winter Fragrance

Now that the weather is warmer and Spring is practically here I thought I would tell you about the scent I used pretty much everyday this winter. It is Sensual Amber from Bath and Body Works signature collection. I LOVE it! I really like the more musky/amber/vanilla scents the most, especially in autumn and winter. I received the intense moisture body butter as a Christmas gift from my boyfriend's grandparents and fell in love with the scent. I immediately went out and bought the fine fragrance mist and body lotion in the same scent. As you can see I've barely even used anything out of the mist! You get your money's worth. Also, they were having some sort of sale when I purchased these items so I got a good deal on them. I can't remember exactly what the deal was now (since it was around the beginning of January when I bought them), but it's my experience that Bath and Body works always has a pretty good deal going on. I also have quit a bit of the body lotion and body butter left too. So, if you are into these type of scents then I think this is a good one. Like I said I love it. It smells warm, and comfy, and sexy :P. I also like the quality of these products. The body butter and lotion are amazing. I am a lotion fanatic! I put it on from head to toe every day. I hate how I feel without lotion on, especially in winter when my skin is drier. These products did their job.

Sephora haul

I am finally getting around to talking about all of the goodies I picked up at Sephora yesterday. I was in makeup heaven. I got a little of everything, makeup and tools.

I'll talk about my tools first. I bought some fake eyelashes from Wal Mart and really liked them, but the glue that came with them was horrible so I got the good stuff yesterday. My old eyelash curler was like 10 billion years old so it was definitely time for a new one. They had such cute colors too. Of course I got them in pink! It's my favorite color. I also got a sephora brow brush.

Now for the makeup! I recently got some MAC studio sculpt concealer, but I am just using that as my under eye concealer. I heard really great things about the NARS concealer so I decided to try that out for my all over face concealer. In the middle is Clinique's bottom lash mascara. I used this today and loved it. I have been wanting it for a while and they were sold out of it in black at my Clinique counter where I live, so I finally got the chance to pick it up. I also purchased Urban Decay's De Slick setting spray by Skindinavia. I am SO excited about this. I have extremely oily skin so I think this will be great! I have heard wonderful things about it and can not wait to try it out. When I do I will let you guys know what I think. It claims to hold for up to 16 hours, which is AMAZING! So we will see. :) And last, but certainly not least is some NARS blush. I got the color Deep Throat (rude name, but beautiful color!) It is a light peach with a little gold shimmer. I love it! I think it will be great for summer!

Because Sephora is so great I got some samples! The first is the complimentary sample they gave me. It's a small jar of Shiseido Extra Smooth Sun Protection Lotion for face and body. It has an SPF of 33. I'm looking forward to using this since we are starting to get nicer weather. I don't know much about Shiseido, so I will have to look into them. Next is something I was able to get from my rewards. If you get 100 points then you are able to get free samples of great products. I picked the Tarte smooth operator micronized clay finishing powder. I have heard a lot about this product as well! I didn't even hesitate when they asked which product I wanted to try!

GAP and Forever 21

I went shopping today, which was good for my closet, but not for bank account! :) I picked up some really cute things for spring. Most of my money was spent on makeup ( I'll post a Sephora haul separate from this later since I bought so much there!), but I did purchase a few things from the GAP and Forever 21 today as well. I will have to calm myself down on the shopping for a while since I am wanting to by myself the new iPad. I'm really loving all of the spring trends with the bright colors, color block, and brights with nudes, and my purchases are all about the new trends. I don't buy stuff just because it's trendy. I just buy what I like, but I have always loved bold colors. Enough rambling, here is what I got. :)

This is a top I bought at Forever 21. I LOVED the color and the detail in the back. It is amazing. I thought it was so pretty and interesting. I also like that it's flowy( I'm not sure how to spell that :/) so it is casual.

Just some basic nude camis. I bought two! One just wasn't enough. They go with everything and they were SO cheap, $2.80.

Forever 21 Basic Top in Nude

This was the perfect top to show off the new Spring trend of Nudes and Brights. I have also been really into stripes lately so this was perfect. Normally I stay away from yellow, I just don't think it flatters my skin tone or hair color, but I thought that since it had the tan mixed in it would be ok. There was a pink and tan, but I have a closet filled with pink. I need a change. :)

GAP Striped woven T 

I have been trying to resist buying a pair of colored pants, but as you can see temptation got the best of me. I have been dying for a pair. I went with green. I don't have a lot of green so I thought this was a good way to fit it in. They are cropped, SO cute. I love GAP jeans or jeggings. Even their low rise doesn't seem as low as other brands to me. I'm really not a low rise jean kind of girl. They just aren't made for me. I have hips so anything that's low rise just tends to make me look bad instead of accentuating my curves. GAP= best jeans for me.

February Favorties!

Sorry it's a little late, but the past few days have been very busy for me. These are the products I have been loving the month of February. First I have the Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Anti-Dark-Circle Roller. I just love this. It has caffeine in it so it "wakes" your eyes up. It also has a tint to it so it is a pretty good concealer. It is thin and I have to layer it, but it's not a problem for me since it isn't thick. It was around $12, so not a bad price. 

The next two items are Revlon Lip Butters. LOVE THESE! The first is in the color Lollipop, which is a hot pink, and the second is in the color Candy Apple, a true red. They are great. They are moisturizing because they are a lip butter, but are very pigmented. As you can see in the middle picture where I have a swatch them. 

Next is a MAC frost lipstick in the color Angel (The last pic is a swatch of this). This has been my go to lip look this month. It is a light pink. It sort of natural looking, although it is lighter than my lip color.

The MAC Cream Colour Base in Pearl is my most recent purchase from MAC. I am really enjoying this product. I was using a powder highlighter before I bought this, and there is no comparison. This is SO much nicer. Love the texture, it's creamy, and gives me a dewey glow. The color is great for light-medium skin tones. I am pretty pale, so it's perfect for me. 

And finally I have been loving the Maybelline Dream Matte powder. It is wonderful. It gives me the matte finish i need on my forehead and nose ( I have very oily skin) and feels amazing. I wear the color Sand.

OOTD

Comfy and girly. Great for a nice dinner with my family and boyfriend. We were celebrating that I got into pharmacy school with a laid back dinner at home. Basic black GapBody leggings from Gap. A cream lace tank top ( you can't see the details in this pic :/ ) from Rue 21.  The black faux snake skin belt came with a skirt I purchased from JCPenny. My pinkish brown cardigan is from Forever 21, and my cheetah flats, which are with out a doubt my most favorite pair of shoes, are from American Eagle. I kept it simple with jewelry since I had a lot of patterns going on between the lace, belt, and shoes. I kept my hair wavy and had a soft smoky brown eye to complete my look. 

Haul

I went to Walmart the other day because I was out of some necessities, so nothing fancy in this haul. It's all practical items. I bought some germ-x to use before i put my makeup on. Vaseline is such a great product for obvious reasons like chapped lips, but also you can put it on your feet in places that you would normally get blisters from your cute, but very painful shoes, and it cuts down on the friction and keeps you from getting blisters. AMAZING! I also bought some Sally Hansen cuticle remover. I've not tried this out yet, but I hear it's really good. So I'll let you know when I do try this out. I was on the hunt for something to hold my makeup brushes and I stumbled upon this bath set. I LOVE anything cheetah/leopard print so I was so excited when I found this. It's a bath set but it's perfect. I use the cups for my brushes and the soap dish to put my jewelry in after I take it off. xoxo
