What I wore today 3/13/12

Top: Thrifted

Skirt: Forever 21

Earrings: Forever 21

Shoes: Payless

I've been wanting white shoes for such a long time... I was about to buy some off of Ebay but while in Payless, I fell in love with these and my boyfriend ended up buying them for me!

Speaking of my boyfriend, a couple of weeks ago we hit 8 months... totally slipped our minds!

What I wore today 2/3 & mermaid gold nails!

I didn't really do much that day. I woke up sort of late (~1pm) and lazed around. I had kind of planned to go to the children's museum with my friend Lizzie but it didn't work out because I'm a lazy teen slob. I made plans to hang out with my friend Mariyah but it seemed like she was never going to text me so I finally decided to take a shower.

At the last minute, plans were made that I was going to meet up with Lizzie and company at Huhot. In that same minute, Mariyah texted me asking if we were still hanging out and that she was hungry. I literally did a personal record when getting ready with clothes, makeup and all.

I had never gone to a mongolian place before, even though my dad and a bunch of other people are all about it. I've gotta say... I don't think I'm that fond of stir-fry. The restaurant was pretty cool though, nothing I've ever been to before! I guess you could say it's a buffet of sorts; you grab a plate of frozen meats, vegetables, noodles, pour the sauce on it, then get in line to have your food cooked right in front of you! I mainly had crab and chicken.

After that, neither myself or Mariyah were full and there was a Yogurt Zone within walking distance... so we drove to it (haha). 

I came home and took some windy b/w pictures. I think I'm sort of in a black and white "phase", with the exception of my WIWT photos and you know, pictures that need color.

As for nails, I was really indecisive as to what to do. I've been wanting to do a series of Valentine's nails for the whole month just because I love pink/red, but for some reason I didn't have any ideas! So this is what I ended up with:

I call them "mermaid gold" just because of the green/blue nail polish I used, along with the blue and green glitter. I put a few dabs of gold in there too, along with a gold glitter.

These are the polishes that I used!

Sinful Colors "Gorgeous"
Forever 21 blue glitter
Forever 21 green glitter
Milani "Good Morning Sunshine"
Sephora by OPI "Only Gold for Me"

Tiger print bodysuit: Ebay (American Deadstock)

Skirt: Forever 21

Shoes: Payless

Today I did a couple of errands. I went to Target and browsed the makeup. I saw a couple of nail polishes I wanted and I also wanted to try Elf's tinted moisturizer... but I resisted! I went in with the idea of only buying one thing, and I left with only buying one thing! I really wanted to buy an Icee or a little pizza too but I didn't do that either because I knew I was going to be eating dinner at a friend's house.

I went to Staples on the search for some cardstock. I've recently fallen in love with drawing on it! I love the way it absorbs my markers and I just really enjoy the feel of it. I didn't feel like spending $11+ on a pack of all white, so I bought an assorted color stack (100 pages) for about $8! I looked at a couple of printers because I'm thinking about making a few prints to sell, and I also looked at some drawing tablets that seem soooo cool! I really want a new one, but then again, I don't even use my old one because I'm trying to get more into traditional right now.

After that, I had planned to go to the bookstore to draw strangers but I didn't feel like driving the 10+ minutes, so I drove to a nearby Starbucks and planned to sit there. Too bad for me all the tables were taken! There was a lone table outside so I decided to sit there... before I could even get my stuff out, there was a flash rainfall and it was pouring hard rain within 10 seconds! I ran to my car and sat there eating a croissant and drinking my coffee. I eventually texted my friend Mariyah and went to meet her at her mom's house.

I got to her mom's house and her and her sister were watching youtube videos of tweens making fake braces? I didn't even know kids did that! Some poor girl actually super glued the stuff to her teeth! The food that Mariyah's mom made was definitely delicious~ :9 We sat around, tried to get Just Dance 3 from Redbox to no avail, then came back and took turns playing Bit.Trip Runner while eating pickle salt and talking about eyebrows.

Today I tried out L'Oreal's HiP Studio Secrets Professional Color Truth Cream Eyeliner in the "Midnight Blue" shade. I've been wanting to try colored eyeliner for a long time and CVS had this for 50% off so I was game! At first I couldn't really tell that it was blue at all, but in some lights it really pops! Unfortunately, it isn't poppin' here. I found applying it, it was a bit clumpy? My eyeliner brush might be the blame for that though!

I never leave the house without some sort of lip product on and today I went with L'Oreal's Colour Riche lipstick in "Spiced Wine". I really do love this brand's lipsticks, so moisturizing! CVS had this color for %75 so I grabbed it. It's a nice berry red shade that doesn't quite fall under "natural" but doesn't cross the line to being too overwhelmingly red.

I've really been loving having somewhat lengthy hair! This is the longest its been for so long! I have a love/hate relationship with messy updos mainly because I don't really know what I'm doing. I watched a couple of youtube tutorials and this is what I ended up with.

What I wore today 11/25!

I didn't really walk away with too much for Black Friday. Matt was out in line at Best Buy getting my christmas present and as soon as he got home I got ready so we could leave for the mall. Last year I worked the morning shift so before clocking in I was able to do a little bit of shopping and I found some pretty good steals... this time not so much. I bought something for my brother at the Disney store, I went to so many stores; Cotton On, Wet Seal, Macy's, Love Culture, Shasa... I like to go into stores I don't usually shop at because on rare occasions you run into something good. I ended up just going to Forever 21 and buying a couple of items.

This top was one of the items that I bought! It's a cropped black velvet bustier~ My cardigan is also from Forever 21, while my pants are from American Apparel and my shoes are from Payless.

Sweetheart cuts on tops are a real weakness for me. Depending on the fabric and/or style of the person, it can come off as innocent or take a turn and be super sexy!
