New Boutiques

// No Comments
 Finding new and cute online boutiques is one of my favorite things. I remember the days of American Eagle and Hollister and while occasionally I will run across a good find in one of those (why limit yourself to certain stores?) I have been loving the originality of boutiques I find. This skirt is one I had been eyeing. Gold, glittery and seriously perfect. The absolute perfect skirt for the holidays, yes I’ve been thinking that far ahead, but I can picture wearing this to parties and wearing it with graphic tees and a statement necklace for date night or even to church. If you’re one of those people wondering what you can pair a skirt like this with, the answer is everything. It photographs beautifully and in person its just as beautiful. It’s a modest classy length and I feel like Audrey Hepburn. If you haven’t noticed I really love her classy elegance. I got a small and its perfect because theres just enough space to tuck blouses and tops in and you can move it up and down on your hips for the perfect fit. It has a hidden zipper in the back and I want to wear it everyday. They just had it on sale but keep your eyes peeled because their instagram posts lots of discounts and it may even go on sale again! MindyMaesMarket has so many cute accessories, tops and more. I also ordered some gold glitter flats from there that I can’t wait to style. For those of you starting to stock up on deals for Fall, last I looked Forever 21 had TONS of sales and Fall items out, along with many other stores. If you’re gonna get it anyway, why not get it on sale??

These shoes. Oh my. They remind me of something Kate Spade would have in one of her shops but nope, $15. I got them 50% off at Charlottes Russe and they are my absolute new favorite heel. I love the height, the ankle strap and how they look like a designer shoe but without the designer price. I couldn’t find them online but I did find a similar pair. However, if you go to your local Charlottes Russe you could probably easily find them and better yet, on sale! A good pair of black heels or for those of you who don’t do heels, flats is a staple for any wardrobe…along with a good nude heel/flat. Right now a lot of stores are having some great back to school sales going on and its the perfect time to do your shopping. A lot of the summer stuff is a steal and you can grab some pieces for the Fall and Winter. Did you happen to notice the hot pink crossbody?! Oh my amazing parents got it for me when we were in Orlando a couple weeks ago and I fell in love. Initially I got it for walking around Europe but then I couldn’t help myself and I’ve already started wearing it. But hey, I’m just breaking it in… I think a cute black crossbody with a gold chained strap would be adorable but I really like pops of color even though this isn’t the fanciest of purses for an outfit like this. Before you think I’m turning into one of those bloggers that posts tons of things you can’t afford we got it at the outlets AND it was 50% off. Come on, you know the best way to buy designer duds is on sale and outlets are my absolute FAV if you happen to like certain brands or styles but don’t want to pay full ticket. I’ve never had a Tory Burch purse but I really loved a lot of the pieces. I even found a pair of matching sandals that I keep telling myself I got to have, but I don’t.

A touch of Glam

// No Comments

A couple apologies before I start:

1. Sorry this impromptu photo shoot was taken in our lovely kitchen…kind of lame & weird but I decided I wanted to do a blog post of it last minute and it was dark so we improvised… Wont happen again 2. Sorry I was supposed to get this blog on over the weekend but I have been pretty sick the past two weeks- with a sinus infection…who knew those were so terrible? Anyway I’ve been sleeping a lot and after two weeks of not really cleaning or doing school I had a lot of catching up to do. But now that thats out of the way…


Glam to me is gold, red, sparkle, bling, fancy & confidence. I like the motto less is more because even though this outfit was very simple and some may not think glam right off the bat, I do. It doesn’t necessarily mean your outfit has to come right off the red carpet but rather some curls, a red lipstick, black and glitter nails, touches of gold and some killer shoes. My “killer shoes” are my newest christmas present from mom and dad. You better believe I got them on sale…for all you Marylanders Arundel Mills has a Vince Camuto store and these babies were only about $50? because the whole store was 30-40% off. These shoes are the best and I always get compliments on them and they are not even uncomfortable in the slightest. I curl my hair when I wanna feel glam & add some lipstick. Most guys seem to love the red lipstick except my dad who thinks it looks “terrible.” Honesty is the best policy right? The tip with red lipstick is not do to the rest of your makeup crazy when you do it- simple eyes if you wear it or else its just way too much. And if you aren’t used to wearing lipstick- make sure you put chapstick on first or your lipstick wont look smooth and blot it a bit with tissues if its too dark for you- I still do this because I don’t like it too harsh. Theres so many different colors to play around with- try heading to sephora and a makeup artist will help you find the right color for you.

When it comes to this blazer I LOVE IT. I have searched for the perfect blazer for a long time and this one was on sale for $10!! I suggest trying on blazers before buying them because they always fit different at least for me… Forever 21 usually has a bunch of cute ones if you’re looking and I highly suggest you do. Dress an outfit up for work or even wear it casual-blazers have always screamed classy glam to me, hence me wanting one for so long. I seriously fell in love with this simple look- sometimes its nice to do up your hair and makeup and let that make the statement.

Have fun playing around with your own look-from hair to makeup & see how you can make that the focus point rather than your outfit.
