Warm weather, neutrals, and perspex heel booties–three of my favorite things.
Do it now. Sometimes ‘later’ becomes ‘never’.
I started working from home in the beginning of 2016 and haven’t looked back since. I put the TV on in the background, veg out on the couch with my computer on my lap, and get right to work. It’s relaxing and I love it. But one thing I’ve learned is that it’s often so hard to get motivated. I’ll catch myself glazed over and staring off into space. Or sometimes I just can’t come up with anything worth writing about. Nothing is worse than having an off day.
It’s so much fun to get all done up and explore the city with my camera. My sister and I have a blast trying on different outfits and setting up makeshift photoshoots. But I always wondered what it would be like to be photographed professionally. And, when I got a job as a fashion designer in downtown Los Angeles, I finally got the chance. So if you’re wondering what really goes on at a fashion shoot, then take a look behind the scenes at my photoshoot.
Time flies. I can’t believe that Spring Break is already just around the corner! And if you’re anything like me, you’re totally unprepared. You probably don’t even know where to travel, let alone what to wear. But I’m here to help. I’ve put together some of my favorite pieces to make the ultimate Spring Break outfit to end all Spring Break outfits.
I recently found myself perusing the Lime Crime website *just for fun*. And we all know how that ends. Here I am a few weeks later with 5 matte liquid lip colors that I totally don’t need. But I wanted them. And who am I to deny myself the joy of bringing my lipstick collection from 26 to 31? Plus how could I say no when the description of the lipsticks is so enticing?
The original liquid matte lipstick inspired by rose petals.
I mean come on. Who doesn’t want rose petal lips, am I right? I’ve had bad luck in the past with matte lipsticks that pretty much felt like clay on my face. But the promise of rose petal lips gave me hope. So, after splurging a little, I ended up with these colors: Jinx, Polly, Prairie, Riot, and Cement. I wore them around for hours on end, ate, drank, and otherwise abused my lips so I could give my full and honest review of Lime Crime Velvetines Matte Liquid Lipstick. I’ll take you through each color and then give an overview of the product.
I’m back at it again with the Goodwill shopping, and this time I scored big. I’ve put my shopping tips to the test and will show you how following the 4 easy steps to getting amazing Goodwill finds really works! In this Goodwill fashion haul I got brands like H&M, Topshop, Urban Outfitters, Chelsea28, and Zara.
I’ll be the first to admit: I shop at Goodwill. But who even cares? Goodwill used to have this stigma of being a low class place where people go to buy crappy things–but not anymore. I know a lot of people that shop at second hand stores unashamedly, and I am openly one of them. Sure, I still hit up places like Zara and Forever 21, but some of the cutest clothes I own have actually come from thrift stores. Not to mention I feel really proud wearing them around knowing I got a killer deal. Anyone can score some amazing Goodwill finds if they just know what to look for.
It’s winter again and my cold Los Angeles bones aren’t used to the frigid Michigan temperatures yet. Needless to say, with a closet that’s stocked full of 70 and sunny, I’m not fairing too well in my first full Midwest winter. While I love the layered look, the California climate just never called for a blouse under a cardigan under a jacket under a coat. Therefore I knew I needed a winter clothes wish list to prepare and organize everything in one place.
Decorating on a budget can be tough. While one of my favorite places to shop for hipster decor is Urban Outfitters, there’s no way the average person could afford to furnish an entire apartment there. Whether you are moving to a new apartment or just want to spice up your first college dorm, DIY projects are one of the best ways to decorate without breaking the bank. In fact, some of the biggest conversation starters in my place are the pieces I built myself. That’s why I’ve rounded up 5 of my favorite hipster apartment DIY projects. Not only can you get that designer look for a fraction of the price, but you also get the satisfaction of knowing your hand went into creating such a unique and beautiful piece (all while impressing your friends with your mad skills).
