New Years Day Outfit

I hope that all of you are enjoying the first day of the new years! I spend mine with my husband. First we went to lunch at Panera Bread, then we went and had my car washed. Oh my Lord was my car in serious need of a wash.

I am ending the night at my parents house where I am uploading videos and keeping up with my new years resolution by posting on my blog. I also colored my mom's hair tonight.

Here is my outfit of the day if you are interested :)

Blogging and Youtube

Hey everyone! Sorry for not having a more creative greeting but I just couldn't think of a good way to start this blog. I have been having the hardest time keeping up with my youtube channel and posting the amount of videos that I would like to. I notice that when I get home from work I am usually too drained to really prep myself for a video. I don't have the most wonderful lighting in my house so unless I film during the day, the quality of my videos will be lacking. I love youtube and communicating with my subscribers but sometimes it is just so much easier for me to sit down, in my pajamas with no makeup on, and type away on my blog. I figured that blogging is better than not doing anything, and I hope that some of you will enjoy reading in between me filming videos.


So I thought I would share some of the clothing that inspired my thrift store shopping adventure today. I went with one of my good friends and we had a great time sifting through all of the dusty racks of clothes.

To make this blog a bit more fun, I promise to start taking more pictures of my excursions to post on here. But for now, this was just my inspiration for shopping today...

I love the seventies inspired looks that Wildfox Couture puts together. They are one of my favorite brands. All of these pictures are of their various collections throughout the years. Their style is definitely what inspired me to look for vintage clothing that had that lived-in, laid back feel.

Bridal Shower Weekend

Hey guys, so this weekend I am going to be out of town for my first of two bridal showers being thrown for me! I am so excited. Since I have gotten so many questions from you guys wondering about what my wedding theme is like, I thought I would show you some pictures that follow my same scheme.

We are going with the pale pink and orange colors. We are also having cupcakes instead of a traditional cake. The above picture is of my maid of honor in the bridesmaid dress. The wedding will be in the backyard of my parent's house.

Let Them Eat Cake!

I have been so sick lately I haven't really felt up to making videos or talking about makeup since I haven't really been wearing any the last four or five days. What I love about blogs is the fact that you can write and express yourself and contribute to the online community no matter what you look like or how good you feel because you can just relax and type away from the comfort of your bed if you want to.

 I have been finding much comfort in the online world of blogs and vlogs lately since I pretty much have been sitting at home on the computer since I'm too sick to work. This is how I discovered this amazing clothing brand called Wildfox Couture. These pictures are from their spring 2011 line and the theme is very obviously french.

 I need to post some pics on my blog of my room, but if you view my youtube videos you can catch a glimpse in the background. My bedroom is Marie Antoinette themed so I was ecstatic when I saw these pictures. I want everything from the collection!

 These models are beyond gorgeous by the way. I love the hair and makeup!

I hope you all are doing well. Don't get sick!

Native Islander

I wanted to share this beautiful picture taken by photographer Carlos Nunez. When I saw this pic I fell in love! I just had to share it with you all! I just adore the Indian headdress mixed with the California girl beach attire. It's just so cute and I felt like it would be a good representation of my "personal style" series that I have somewhat started to do.

Finding my Personal Style

Recently I made a pact with myself to ban all purchasing of makeup in exchange for clothing and accessories. When I was in high school I feel like I had quite the personal style, at least when I was out of my school uniform. I wasn't in the least bit concerned with makeup but was all about fashion! I was  pretty much obsessed and had the privilege of having a mom, who was just as obsessed, and generous enough to buy me whatever I needed.

Fast forward about two years and I discovered how extraordinary makeup was and began building my collection of cosmetics. Then I went to beauty school and was condemned to a year of wearing solid black and I think that's where my personal style was lost.

Now out of school I am rediscovering my love for fashion and am becoming more and more excited to develop my own personal style. I don't want to just roam helplessly in the fashion world, wearing whatever happens to already be in my closet. I want to develop my style into an expression.

Thankfully, Christmas provided me with some new basics that fit my style (thank you Antrhopology,) so now I am concentrating on the accessories and SHOES! OMG, I am in such dire need of shoes. I feel like these things can really provoke what you are wanting to say with an outfit.

So here are some little pieces that inspire me and fit what I see as my personal style.
