Deng Monday has come again but don't get the blues it's the start of a beautiful week, we just have to start it right. Instead of being sad, be happy and enjoy the life you live. I know I can be negative at times but I do my best to stay positive. You just have to take life one day at a time. Remember to always enjoy every moment you have. People can be easily taken from you. 

Onto today's outfit. It was pretty windy this day so I only had a couple of good shots. Unfortunately the wind messed up my outfit. So I had these couple of shots. This outfit is something simple you can do for a semi-cold day. You can use any cropped sweater you want or just an ordinary sweater you want. I hope you all love this outfit!

I LOVE YOU ALL!!!

REMEMBER TO BE & LOVE YOURSELF!!

Lazy Chic...

Everything is Forever 21, woops ;)

It's Friday!! Deng it's crazy how fast this week went by. I'm serious this week went by super duper fast. Well anyways this week was probably one of the best weeks I have had in a while, and I don't know why but it just felt like a good week. I hope you all had a great week!!

Today's outfit was the perfect combination of lazy and chic, hence the title: lazy chic. It got a bit cold here in SD, so I decided to do a couple of outfits that were "fall/winter" like. I love mixing patterns because it gives a look that many people have done a new twist. The patterns work because of the color differentiation. That is the one key factor on mixing patterns. Hope you love this outfit.

I LOVE YOU ALL!!

Holy moly it's Thursday already?!! I do not understand how fast time goes by. Spring break is getting closer and closer and I cannot wait to have a break from school. I honestly love school but nothing beats sleeping in my warm, beautiful bed. I love to sleep but at night I am wide awake. It's as if I'm nocturnal. I honestly love/hate it. Oh well, just going to try turn that off.

Onto today's outfit. I photographed JJ Alonzo who I have known for a while. He was kind to do three different outfits for me and asked me of my opinion on each three. I hope you like them all because I sure do. He took into account being classy and then relaxed day looks. They are very effortless and manageable for anybody to recreate it. I love this look because it's great for any occasion except maybe weddings or something fancy. I hope you love his look.

I LOVE YOU ALL!!

Black Takeover...

Dress, Hat: Forever 21

Ankle Booties: Target

Deng it's already Wednesday and spring break is coming up fast. I don't think my body is prepared for the bikini season but right now in SD, it doesn't really seem like bikini season at all. It's actually supposed to rain today but only mother nature decides that. I know a lot of people don't like the rain but I do. I find it relaxing and I can actually layer clothes and that is truly my favorite thing to do with my outfits.

Onto today's outfit. I think you all can tell that I really love black. I don't know why but it can seem so classy but yet as the same time have that grunge feel. Black goes with anything or white. Those are your main solid color choices. My mother recently just gave me this dress and I love it because of the same detail of lace in the back. It makes the dress go from simple to sexy and the slit makes it even more sexier. Hope you love today's outfit!!

I LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Hello loves. I cannot believe Spring break is coming and I cannot wait. I hope I do something fun. It really would be awesome to actually get out of the house. I hope all is well with you all at school. Remember to study and don't give up. I know school can suck sometimes but I know it will help in the future. Well some classes will benefit in the future.

So today's outfit was something simple you can wear on a semi-cold day. It's perfect for running errands or heading to school. You obviously don't have to wear heels like I do most of the time but I do because I love to seem taller, especially with having long legs, I look pretty tall. It's pretty ironic because I love being short but I would love to be tall. Well I hope you love today's outfit!

I LOVE YOU ALL!!

Coachella Essentials #1

H&M Loves Music! by thesamdiaries featuring St. Ives

So as you all know Coachella is right around the corner and I do hope to go somehow  and well here are my essentials if you or I were to go. I use all these products and they are very good and can be found at your local drug store. Here is why:

• The BB cream is good at covering and keeping your skin moisturized.
•  I love the baby lips by Maybelline because it works wonders on my lips that are always chapped.
•  The St.Ives is really great at keeping your skin moisturized and my skin is really dry so I love it.
• Neutrogena's make up remover wipes are really great because they not only remove the make up but any dirt on your skin. I have had less acne since using 
• The clean & clear acne cleanser is great because it's benzyl peroxide so it less irritating to my skin and has helped clear my skin up a bit.
• I also chose this outfit because it is very hot in Indio so this is a light outfit you can wear but still have that chic boho look!

Top: Target

Midi Skirt: Forever 21

Ankle Booties: Target

So here is my first Coachella outfit idea. It's the perfect combination of chic and boho. This skirt used to fit me as a maxi skirt but I guess I have grown a lot because it now fits me as a midi skirt. This look is great for Coachella because it gives you that figure hugging with the top being tied and loose fitting with the midi skirt. It has that country boho vibe. You don't have to wear the ankle booties because of course you walk a lot around Coachella so you can wear flat ankle booties or sandals. You'll still have the same look. Hope you love my first Coachella outfit look! Can't wait to show you more.

I LOVE YOU ALL!!

Sport Gal...

Dress: Forever 21

Sneakers: Nike

I am so tired today loves. I staid up pretty late writing an opinion paper for my health class but this is what I get for procrastinating. I think it came out pretty good but only my teacher will determine that. I do hope I did well on my second exam for health too. If not, I will need to study harder. I hope you're all doing well at school and don't procrastinate like me, it is not a good habit. Trust me.

Today's outfit was something simple and really comfortable and chic to wear for running errands. I know a lot of you are iffy on wearing your sneakers around unless you are wearing your work out gear to go with them but you can wear your sneakers and still look chic. Especially if you have colored sneakers they are great to dress down your look just a bit. Hope you love this look!!

I LOVE YOU ALL!!

Hello my loves. How is it already Wednesday?!!! I do not understand how fast time has been going by. Spring Break is coming so soon and I need to stop being so lazy and start working out my tiny body. And no I don't want to gets skinnier than I already am. Unfortunately all my bad eating has gone straight to my stomach and this tiny girl needs get rid of her belly. I don't like working out but I know it will pay off.

Onto today's outfit. I adore this outfit. It's very simple and chic. I love the hipster feel of it. A lot of people take what is hipster into the wrong account. I really don't know all that well about being a hipster and I guess in a way I am, as I have been told because of my style but I never like to be categorized. My style is never one style, it is multiple. This look is good for any age, the only thing probably I would change for older women, would be the shorts. Instead of these sporty shorts, I would recommend white loose fitted shorts. I think it would keep the look chic and still have that hipster feel. Feel free to wear heels if you like. 

I LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Forever 21 Make up Review...

I'm a beginner on make up honestly, so it is not perfect. 

I think I did a pretty good job though. Don't ya think?

ALL ITEMS BELOW ARE WHAT I USED FOR MY MAKE UP OF THE DAY!

I use this wonderful blotting powder to set in my foundation and it does wonders. It keeps the foundation looking fresh and not oily.

There are a lot more colors for the powder but since I am so pale, I use the light shade.

This has been the blush I have been using on a daily basis. It stays on all day and is perfect for cute rosy cheeks. It's the right amount of pink on my cute chubby cheeks.

Forever did send me a variety of eye shadows and I will be going back soon to buy more because they are perfect! I used the combination these three for my make up for the day. The rose gold eye shadow is a great contrast to the jet black eye shadow because it brightens my eyes but the jet black keeps that smokey sexy look I love. 

I use the light cream gold to line my inner lids to maintain a nice bright look to my eyes. I don't want to look full on goth chic.

Here are the brushes I use. And Forever is kind to label what they are, so you'll never get confused if you need some clarification on what brush to use, if you're a first time beginner like me. 

I love the matte foundation because I do have oily skin but the foundation maintains the right amount of moisture and keeps my face looking, well matte. Also it perfectly matches my skin.

I love the face primer because it smells like bananas. It works perfectly and keeps my foundation looking lovely all day/night long.

The concealer works wonders and you will not regret buying it from Forever!

This is what the primer looks like.

This was my first time using a eyebrow kit. I love it a lot because it has two shades of dark brown. I use the lighter on the beginning of my bro and the darker on the middle to ending. It keeps my eyebrows looking all natural. 

Here is the eye shadow brush. 

Here is the liner brush. 

FOREVER 21 DID GIVE ME A LOT MORE MAKE UP THAN THIS BUT I ONLY DID A REVIEW OF WHAT MAKE UP I USED FOR TODAY. ANOTHER REVIEW OF THE OTHER MAKE UP WILL BE UP NEXT WEEK!

I have to give Forever 21 an A for their wonderful make up. It does great on covering some of my blemishes and does not feel caked on for me. A lot of foundations I have tried feel like I just dipped my face into a bunch of frosting. Forever 21 did a wonderful job with their make up department and would recommend you go and try out for yourself. I loved everything from their line. Great job Forever!

Lastly, here is my overall make up look! Hope you love it!! The earrings are from Forever as well!!

I LOVE YOU ALL!!
