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!!

Sweetheart Sweater...

For everything is Forever 21.

Everytime I wear this sweater, I think of Pitch Perfect. I think of the part where she traces her heart shirt after learning she's going to get to solo. If you have not watched that movie, I recommend you do! This look was designed around my light purple lipstick. I really love this preppy look and hope you do too!!

There was many ways I could have worked around the purple lipstick but I really wanted to do a very preppy look. I thought my glitter heart sweater was the perfect fit. This is not one of my fav sweaters but I couldn't help but love the cute heart on it. 

REMEMBER TO BE YOURSELF AND LOVE YOURSELF!

New Years Eve!!

New Years Eve!! by thesamdiaries featuring a red lipstick


2 posts in one day? What??!!

I decided that I should post my New Year's Eve outfit ideas. I will in fact be wearing the look on the right. It won't be matching exactly, but it has that same style. I did try to find the crop top I am going to use, but polyvore didn't have it, sadly.

I chose these two type of looks, because most of you will either be wearing something short or something longer. For the first look, I decided to go with this cute velveteen dress with a fab faux fur coat. Faux fur coats are absolutely perfect for occasions like New Years Eve. I paired it with these dark, mysterious booties. I always like to mix different looks into one. I hope you love look 1.

For my second look, I went in an edgy direction. I really want this perfect, glitter crop top from Topshop, but I'm still poor. Help me I'm poor! Haha if you know where that's from, comment in the comment box! This looks is very edgy, but I added a soft, salmon clutch to give it that splash of preppy in an edgy look. I hope you love look 2 and hope you pick one of these looks for your fab NYE outfit. Tweet me your awesome outfit to me, if you would love to 'cause I would love to see them. My user name is, of course @thesamdiaries!! Follow me if you wish!

I LOVE YOU ALL!!

REMEMBER TO BE YOURSELF!!

HAVE A FAB NYE!!

White Lace Dress...

Lace Dress: H&M

Booties & Jewelry: Forever 21

It's Monday and no school, no more finals!! Yeah for all of you that had to deal with that. I'm sure you all did great, and for the rest of you that are working, don't worry Chritmas is almost here and you'll finally get to spend time with your family!! I hope you all do have a wonderful Christmas!!

This dress was for a little get together we had at my house for all of my family. It was nice to see my family that I hardly ever get to see. I admit that I got bored and went to my room. I swear I get bored so fast. It's one quality I don't like much about myself. I'm someone who has to be entertained or else I lose interest and do something else. 

I hope you all love the simplicity of this dress. I followed my mom's advice and just made it about the dress and just used some nice, statement earrings to keep it from looking to plain. The dress was a size big for me. I'm usually a 2 at H&M and since this dress is in fact my mom's, it was a size 4. I thought it still looked cute.

LOVE YOU ALL!!

JEAN CHEETAH...

Jean Shirt: H&M

Cheetah Cardigan: Mink Pink

Faux Leather Leggings: Papaya

Combat Boots: Macy's

Ravishing Red Lips and Silver, Pearl Jewelry compliment each other so well.

How are all of you this fine Sunday?? I know many of my young followers are studying for their finals and I wish you all good luck. I know some of you are stressed, but hey as long as you study hard and just not 20 seconds before your test comes, you should do fine. I know when I had tests, I would use index cards. I do have a great memory so maybe that might not work for you all. Just STUDY!!

This was a random outfit I threw together. My momma wanted to go to Coronado and eat some healthy burgers & grab a quick Starbucks. And yes there is such a thing as a "healthy" burger. It's not entirely healthy, but healthier. This place is called Burger Lounge and the burgers are honestly the best I've ever had. I recommend if you live in SD, you go and try it out. This jean shirt complimented the cheetah cardigan so perfectly honestly. When I put it on, I was like this is perfect. I love this outfit, because it's simple but still chic. I'm glad I left my hair in a bun because if I didn't, my hair would look out of place.

Hope you all are having a wonderful SUNDAY

LOVE ALL MY FASHION HOMIE$!!

Plaid meets Denim part 3...

Everything is Forever 21 ahaha.

Owls are my friends.

 I've been relaxing here in little old Washington. It's very cold here, a lot colder than SD I must say, but hey I'm in Washington and it's December but I am having a good time with my old man. I have to share a picture with you guys of his dog, Jules. Her name was supposed to be Tupac since my dad said if he ever got a dog, he would name it that, but he didn't.

This post is definitely for all my teen followers. This is a very simple outfit to put together. It's really great for summer and great for fall, just add your favorite tights & a cute warm, thick cardigan or a cute coat. Either is perfect and you're ready for fall!! I honestly need to get more plaid shirts. I've found many but I think $20 is a bit pricy for a plaid shirt. Maybe that's just me.

Hope you all have an AWESOME SUPER FANTASTIC EXTRAVAGANT OUT OF THIS WORLD SATURDAY!!!

LOVE ALL MY FASHION HOMIE$!!!

TGIF!!!! I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A FAB FRIDAY!!!

I hope you all are having a lovely day. To anybody who reads what I say, I know not many of you probably do. Don't worry I do it sometimes when I'm looking at other bloggers. Anyways, back to what I was saying, if any of you have troubles with life or what to wear, you can always email me at thesamdiaries@gmail.com. I love it when you do.

Onto today's outfit. It was something simple I picked out. I really wanted to showcase this dress, because it's a dress for anything honestly. You can even dress it up for a nice dinner or a party. This dress is very versatile. I love that I bought it, and it was only $15 I believe. 

LOVE ALL MY FASHION HOMIE$!!!

Money Team...

Dollar Sign Muscle Tee, Flower Harem Pants, Gold Chain: Forever 21

Sneaker Wedges: Target

Boy it seems like I love to jump, huh? I honestly do love these jumping pictures. They are something different, to me. I feel like it adds that happy feeling to my blog. It took me about 3 times to get this picture. My hair kept getting in the way. Speaking of hair, I cannot wait till mine gets longer. I am determined to get it to my butt. Just got to keep it healthy!!

This outfit was inspired by a look I saw from Instagram from the fabulous account that features tons of amazing bloggers. It's called ootdmagazine. You can submit your outfits and hope to get featured. I hope you guys love this outfit. It took 10 minutes to put it together. P.S. if you think sneaker wedges are hard to walk in, they are not. The ones featured in this post are super comfortable. They were only $30 from Target.

Love all my FASHION HOMIE$!!!

Winter/Fall Faves

Winter/Fall Faves by thesamdiaries featuring a purple dress

The other day I thought I should start doing more polyvore sets to feature on my blog for you guys. I came up with these two sets. This one above is all about winter/fall faves of mine. I featured 4 stores you gals might love/like. My fav from Forever 21 has to be the watch. I'm not a fan of cats, though they are cute. I thought it was incredibly cute. All the items featured are all under $100. I know that may be a bit expensive for you all, but I had to say under $100, due to the fabulous, worth buying leather ankle boots from H&M. They are $82, but they are worth the buy!! They're long lasting & comfortable.

I hope that most of these items were some of your need for fall/winter list. If you want me to do more sets like this, please let me know in the comments.

So with summer officially over, I know many of you have crop tops, that you have no idea how to style. I don't have as many as many of you may have, but here is one that I have similar to. This cute cat crop top is from Forever 21 and I decided to layer it with this denim collar top from H&M. If you do not like this idea or are too afraid how this might look, layer your crop top with a dress underneath. I think that is the best way to layer it. I added a lot of jewelry to this set, because the outfit is very simple and I wanted to add some statement pieces to it. I love the "Ain't No Wifey" from Tillys. It adds that pop of color and sassiness to your outfit. Hope you love this set.

Love all my FASHION HOMIE$!!!

The MAD Hatter...

Peter Pan Tea Shirt, Mulit-color Skater Skirt, Fedora Hat

Studded High Tops

Round Sunglasses

For any of you who don't know what this means. It means "I Love You" in Sign Language.

Letting you know that I love you all.

That tongue though. My adorable baby, Bambi.

She loves my kisses. 

I love these glasses a lot. I believe they are still selling them at Target. 

Oh gosh I just found out my other dog Casper, who isn't pictured but he got bit by something and I am so worried. Bambi got bit before and it got so bad. I hope this bit isn't anything bad. Hopefully my mom can take my baby boy to the Vet. In the mean please pray for him, it might seems silly but I really don't want to loose him. He's my baby.

On to my outfit. This was really something simple I came up within 5 minutes. It's something you can wear for all seasons, obviously for fall and winter you would just layer more stuff on, for example a coat and some cute pantyhose would fit perfect for fall. Hope you guys like this outfit.

Love all my FASHION HOMIE$!!!
