Hello everyone,

I'm sure not too many people have noticed but I've been very turned off posting on blogger lately. There isn't a lot of content on here that cannot be found on my youtube channel and it feels a bit redundant to post it in both places, even if I go more in-dept about my videos on here. There is this little thing on youtube called a "down bar" where you can post all the information related to your video. It's a lot more accessible. Instead of making people crawl over to your blog to find out details about your video, they can read the "down bar" - et voila.

I do however, like linking my videos on here because it gives you all a little reminder that I'm still alive.

I will probably continue to post now and then, but I actually want to move my blog over to wordpress (blogpost is a bit frustrating). I'm also considering starting out with a fresh slate. I would like to make it more of an inspiration and style geared blog, and have just a little bit of makeup only when necessary.

My main goal will be to produce unique content on both my channel and new blog.

As soon as the quirks are fixed up and I have a clear vision of the content I will be posting on my "new and improved blog" etc... you will be informed! I promise, haha! Until then,... erm that's all you need to know.

If anyone has any suggestions on what they would like to see on my blog in the near future or if you have any thoughts/questions/feed back or anything - leave it in the comments below.


Thanks for the support and having read this, it means a lot to me.

It's the first time I've ever touched polyvore since making an account 3 months ago. It was fun to make, initially everything was inspired from the dress and a red carpet collage contest on the website.

I received a mango pamphlet in the mail today and cannot begin to explain how much in lust I am with these boots, in orange. They come in regular leather, but there's something about the suede. They can be rolled down slouched or worn up right to the knee. Delicious.

Well, excuse me for my failed attempts of keeping my blog updated. It's been a rough month getting use to gloomy weather and the coming of fall.

Here's the last Stealing Style I recorded not too long ago, it was requested to me back in the summer. I hope this helps with office outfit ideas. I think a lot of people get stuck thinking you have to wear suits or button down shirts at work, but that simply is not the case if you are a woman.



Please stay toned for my 1000 Subscriber contest on my Youtube Channel.

Silly me, bought the same color twice. Wait, no I didn't. I bought Done Out in Deco months earlier when I couldn't find Do You Lilac it and had to settled for less. I much prefer the darker and richer of DYLI, needless to say I couldn't resist the temptation when I set eyes on it for the first time.

Should I further indulge myself and go get Parlez-Vous Opi?

back to school

Posted in , ,

I figured I would do one of these, although I haven't been in school for the passed year. Even though there were almost never any cute guys in any of my classes, I always felt the need to wear something on my face to go to school. Sometimes, you feel like you need to look good for yourself and not for others.

I find this look to be perfect for accentuating brown eyes. This look can also be worn at the office, work, or for everyday occasions.



Products used / worn:
OPI Parlez-vous Opi
Napoleon Perdis foundation
Physician's Formula powder foundation
NYX nude/taupe/dark brown pallette
NYX emerald city eyeliner pencil
Maybelline Moisture Extreme Lipstick in nude blush
Rimmel Volume Booster gloss in attract
CoverGirl Fantastic Lash water proof mascara

What are your makeup essentials for school?

messing in the fits

Posted in

I didn't get a chance to post these before leaving on vacation, but since I took the time to take these - I figured i might as well. The first ones are from Fcuk Spring/Summer 2010, the final two are from Forever21.



Basically, I was shopping the sales rack there in July because there wasn't much in there for fall yet. Although I loved the fabric print and cut of the dress (minus the fact that it was too tight on the bust) - overall, it simply wasn't worth it. A lot of the time we see things we love, but the price isn't right. Fcuk is very pretentious with their pricing, especially when you are on a budget.


My oh my! Did this ever look cute on the hanger, but it gave major camel toe. Sometimes things that look great on the hanger look awful on, other times it's the other way around. Just goes to show, it's always better to try on before making rash decisions.


 Messing around in the fits at Forever21 is always so much fun. There's so much to choose from. I loved the tailoring at the back of this vest, but wasn't very sure what to think of the way the fabric fell on the body. I can't explain it, it just felt like the fabric was too stiff to drape in a flattering way.


Lastly, these maxi dresses. These things became my staple attire while I was in Honduras this August. Unfortunately, you get hit on way too much if you aren't dressed conservatively in Tegucigalpa. The black one is incredibly versatile and flattering. It is just the right cotton and spandex blend to hug the body, while still concealing some unflattering areas. The blue halter is stunning photos has a flattering neckline and back view.

What were your favorite Summer finds last season?

The lighting is off because I filmed at night, so I took pictures to show how vibrate the color turned up.

It's not the same as the Miu Miu f/w 2010 campaign, I don't have the same purple. I just felt inspired by the bright lilac color they used & did my own thing with it

rompers, shorts & pants

Posted in , ,

Needless to say this was requested and a couple of people on youtube asked me to include rompers, high waisted shorts and pants. I couldn't figure out a creative title for this.

I don't own more than one romper or more than one pair of high waisted shorts yet. I have really cut down on shopping this year, believe it or not. I'm really bad at containing myself. I use to work in retail and that's what sparked my interest in fashion. Actually, I've always been interested in fashion but I never dressed the part until I started working.

Enough ramble and on to the video.
