Sunday's Outfit

Sunday, July 19, 2009

Outfit and such...

so i have another outfit of the day...today i went to church and i wore a black tunic top, black skinny jeans and black wedged shoes with a bow on them plus my tear drop earring i got from forever21. i didn't wear any makeup just wore vs sweet nothing lipstick and vs wet lipgloss on the lips...



i did shop this weekend but i don't know if i'm going to post it. i just got a couple of basic tees from vs and a dress to wear to church when i go to mississippi this weekend so you'll see that dress when i post some time next week. i also impulsively bought a purse online at vs. it's a jessica simpson bag and it's gorgeous and was in the clearance section plus i got an extra 25% off so i couldn't pass it up because i was looking for a new purse anyway.

(the purse i ordered but i got it in black and idk about the long handle but it comes off)


but i hope you all had a wonderful weekend and hope the week to come is wonderful too!

Home Sweet Haul

Sunday, July 12, 2009

Hauls & Home
so i finally have a haul...yipee! but i went back home over the weekend because i had it off and you add a wider range of stores and pay day and you get a haul of sorts. i ended up shopping friday and saturday because i found this absolutely gorgeous jumpsuit at macy's during their one day sale. it's not so cute on the hanger but is definitely cute on. i went back to the mall to get a skinny belt to go with it, but we know how hard it is to go to the mall and only get one thing so here's what i got below.

friday's trip:

i took my younger brother and cousin with me this day. i was NOT inspired when i went shopping and macy's was the last store i went to because i wanted to stop by mac, but this caught my eye i tried it on and fell in love!


here it is on with some yellow peep toe sandaled heels


i got lippies from mac- cherish lipstick and chai lipglass


got this from wetseal, i wanted pink but of course they only had blue left...


no trip home is complete without stopping by borders since there isn't one where i am only barnes and noble (which i don't particularly care for) i picked up 2 books from brenda jackson (one of my fave authors) so look out for book reviews soon!


saturday's trip:

i went shopping with my sister this day and she always stops by pacsun. i had been there the day before but didn't pay attention to the signs that read take an ADDITIONAL %50 off so i only got two tops because almost ALL of the smalls were gone...




i had originally went to forever 21 the day before looking for a specific floral skirt and was told they were out of it so i went back this day for accessories specifically a belt for my jumpsuit. why did i find the skirt when i went this day and they only had one in a small which fit but stopped right below the tush so i would've needed a medium...

you guys know i'm loving anything floral so i got this ring and the fushia earrings. the dangly ones were so cute to me and i might pair them with the jumpsuit...


these belts were only $2.50! i got them in sm/md and they only had 1 left in each size in the black so i got the last small one...i plan to pair the grey one with the jumpsuit.



i also have an outfit of the day and FOTD from saturday. i went to my little cousin's birthday party, she turned 2 and it was so beautiful out and the perfect day for outdoor activities so i didn't want to smoke out my makeup but didn't want to do the bronzey look either so i did a pinky purplish look.



with a pinky lipstick to the mall (vs sweet nothing)


with a nude @ the party (mac fresh brew & chai)


vs pink dress and brown buckle sandals with a small wedge


i also paired it with the flower ring and flower earrings (pic from the party)


that's about all i had an okay time at home but it's always nice to be able to go back to your own place. hope your week's been good and i['m trying to update more but ii haven't had much motivation. i'm open for any suggestions!

Camera-Less...for now

Tuesday, June 9, 2009

so the bf is in chicago and he took the wrong battery charger...he's been gone for a minute but he's supposed to be coming back this weekend so i can finally take some pictures!

i have a vicky's haul, one online that i'm waiting for in the mail and the other that i went in store and brought. i got some of the 75% off makeup. i was actually pretty late, but i still go some good stuff they were only out of 2 things that i really wanted...the light purple shadow and this coral-like lipgloss, but oh wells i might see if it's still available back in the chi.

but, until the next post that's all for now, hope the week is going good...oh yea, i finish my intersession course on friday so i'll officially be done with school until august, yay!

I Can Only Have so Many Loves...Maybe Not!

the weather is colder, bone chilling colder, and there is one thing that i love to keep on my feet...SOCKS! my family, the bf and sometimes friends try to clown me because i have and continually wear long, knee high tube socks. i love them because they keep me warm during the winter days and i can wear the shortest shorts, but not feel so naked...



don't get me wrong, i wouldn't walk out of the house with short shorts and tube socks unless i was either going to dance practice or to work out. believe me, i get enough stares during the warmer months walking to the student center with shorts and long socks on...people are used to seeing me in them and i'll definitely be keeping these socks around for a while!

I Dream of Socks

TARGET HAUL!

on another note i made a stop at target on my lunch break yesterday. quick side step...i originally went to avon to get some more 24 moisture, because i was out and that's the only thing i use on my face. it's light and airy and works well with my sensitive skin. my face can breath and i don't have breakouts...i get there looking for it, because i saw it last month, but decided to come back to get it. the guy tells me they don't carry it anymore!

i'm like, i was just in here like 2 weeks ago what happened? he said they stopped carrying it at the beginning of this month and he doesn't know why...WHAT?! so avon just disregarded the valued customers who religiously used the product without even a slight heads up. i know they knew about it for a while and i know the lady knew about it when i came in 2 weeks ago and she should've said something about it, because i def would've stocked up. so i'm upset and plan to make a call to avon personally...

but anyways...i went to target after stopping at avon and only picked up 3 things...a pack of pens (12 cents! they didn't ring up and they were the last ones so she asked the manager and they said ring them up for 12 cents, so yay me!) then i got the cutest tote
for school, because i needed a new one and i don't carry book bags anymore... plus the nivea soft moisturizing cream for my face. i keep the smaller size of this stuff in my purse and it's the only thing outside of the avon that didn't actually clog my pores or become too oily, even though the avon was the best, i'm just stuck with this...

sorry this is all over the place, but when i asked the guy what the replacement was for the 24 moisture he told me it was the hydrofrming cream which could be used for night and day. i have this stuff already and it only says for night on the container...there is no way that is a respectful dupe for the 24 moisture! that stuff is so thick and OILY that i have to barely put it on to keep from looking like a sweaty pig all day! i am so disappointed in avon right now...

_________________________________________

SAY WHAT?! MAIL

but on to happier things...i got this weird card in the mail saying final notice call about recieving a free ipod shuffle, week stay at a hotel or $50 gift card...WHAT?! i'm thinking it's junk mail but i call anyway...so random, this guy answers and he's like are you from SIU or some other school (can't remember) i'm hesitant like...uuhhmm...SIU...? he's like "well there's going to be a meeting/seminar at the ramada inn by the walmart and all you have to do is come, stay for the whole thing, like 30-45 minutes, and you'll be able to choose one of the 3 things."

i'm like "SERIOUSLY?" i am the QUEEN of telemarketing and BS SCAMS! do i have idot written all over my face?! of course i didn't say that, but i'm like "i don't have to do or pay anything, just show up?" and he's like yea just show up, but i have to rsvp because it's filling up fast...so i told him to sign me up and i'm going to this thing at 2 today...it better not be a waste of my time, because i will def go off in there. they just called me this morning reminding me about it...so we shall see, pray i leave with my gift card, because i don't want to have to start no mess!

but anyways...i hope you all are having a wonderful weekend so far! YAY NO SCHOOL MONDAY! obama is official on tuesday!!!! i won't be there in person *tear* but i will be in full obama gear representing to the fullest and i hope you are too!



Stay oh so Chic!

MUAH!!

I Want to be...Downtown! & Hauling for Hair Care

Saturday, December 20, 2008

so i made a quick hair run because i needed to pick up a few things before my wash day tomorrow. i went to this vitamin outlet around the corner from my apartment, it was actully smaller than it apeared to be from the outside. i mainly wanted to look at the pricing to see if they would be cheaper than gnc or walmart. i'm going to my parents house for a few days (christmas, yay!) so i plan to do some heavy shopping. i might just get vitamins when i go there. my school is in the country, so there's not that many options available for shopping, so waiting until i visit them means i get to go downtown!

i know, totally off of hair and vitamins, but i am SO NOT a country, spaced out living type of girl. i lived 20 minutes from downtown chicago and loved it...shopping, restaurants and did i say shopping. i also just liked to hop on the train in the morning during the summer and spend ALL DAY downtown going from store to store and returning BROKE! but yea, i can't wait...

but back to what this post is really about...i did pick up some extra virgin coconut oil from there for $11. i then headed to sally's and picked up a full bottle of the aphogee two min reconstructurer. i finished the lil pack and loved the results after the second use, so i got a bottle since it was on sale. i also wanted to try the silk elements moisture treatment deep conditioner. i use the ors replenish conditioner or pak and love it, but heard good things about the silk elements so i brought two packs of that. it usually takes me about two uses to see if i really like something.

so that's what i hauled for my hair today. going back to the chi also means my beauty supply stores!! i have been out of my cream of nature original formula shampoo since august and they only have the new formula down here, but i know just where to go when i get back to pick up a couple of bottles of the good stuff :P and i also get to buy some more nyx stuff. i hate shopping online when i know i can get to it in person. plus i get to shop, shop, shop! i know, i've been talking about shopping a lot in this post, but when you go to a school that doesn't have a lot of good stores around it and everyone shops at the SAME place, you HAVE to shop online. i'm sorry, but i'm original and i refuse to be limited to the same overly purchased clothing everyone else buys so we can all look like we're related or "twins", but we're not...

but yep, hope the weekend's going good and you're feeling the holiday spirit. i have to work the close shift again tonight. we close at 11, boo, but yep!

Stay oh so Chic!

MUAH!

New Vid & NYX Haul!

Sunday, November 30, 2008

i'm finally posting the video and pics from friday's work wearable look #2...i had another very pretty look that i did yesterday, but was rushing so i couldn't take pics and was too tired to do it when i got off...

this is the look from friday...



HERE'S THE VID!



_______________________

Small Haul...

my stuff i ordered from cherry culture also came on friday...i took advantage of the nyx sell they had and got five things...

i got two lipsticks: chambrod & java, 1 lip gloss: smokey look, 1 lip liner: coffee and 1 eyeliner in black...i love it all, but the java lipstick is not what i thought it was going to look like. i knew the swatches on the site were off so i used the ones on the nyx website but it still was a little more shimmery than i thought...more in the gold family.




WITH FLASH


WITHOUT FLASH


here i am wearing a new fav Smokey Look...

so that's about it...hope you all had a wonderful weekend, got lots of new goodies and ate good food...

Stay oh so Chic!

MUAH!

Stopping Debt Friday! & more.

Friday, November 21, 2008


i know, i know...i usually do this post a little bit earlier, but it has been a long day. got paid today and what was the first thing i had to do? pay credit cards lol, so that brings me into this weeks stopping debt tips...

Tip #9: ELIMINATE & MINIMIZE!

-i for the longest have had just two credit cards, but i have recently added 3 (yes i know) more and will be closing the 2 that i have already had after i finish paying them off. be realistic about what type of credit cards you have, don't give into the right there promotion satisfaction. you should have at least 1 bank credit card and if you MUST have a store credit card, look at what the benefits are that come with the card. get rid of cards you either don't use or don't need.

Tip #10: DIRECT DEPOSIT!

-i absolutely LOVE direct deposit, because it eliminates the trip to the bank. many companies let you decided how many, usually about 2, accounts you want your paycheck to go into. set your direct deposit up so that every time you get paid you automatically have money going into you checking AND savings. try to get about 15-30% of your check going into a savings account...believe me you NEVER know when you may need that extra money (i surely learned that these past few month!)

____________________

so this week has been BLAH! nothing but tests and papers in preparation for the thanksgiving break...poo me i have to stay in the dale for thanksgiving because of work, but nothing really note worthy to mention.

i hauled some goodies from VS! what girl doesn't love VS pink? they have the panty party going on, 7/25, so i picked up some undies and i also got a tee and hoodie...




i purchased some stuff off of cherry culture so i could take advantage of the nyx promo they had going on that ends today [NYX25] so some how the address it gets shipped to got screwed and i've been trying to contact them, THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCKS! like no one answers the phon eyou have to leave a message and i don't want my makeup to go to my parents house 5/6 hours away :( so i'm upset about that.

then i made a video today, but i don't know if i'm going to post it, just a review and haul of the stuff mentioned above...didn't realize my laundry was that visible behind me...i'll probably post it if my computer ever gets out of this recovery phase!

this calls for a text color change! so i sent hp my computer last week so they could fix the wireless, which they did, and i get it back and it works fine that night...i wake up, turn the computer on and it's doing the same thing it was doing back in august, so i call them up and after he has me doing things to the computer for an hour he tells me i need a new hard drive, which is what i said FOUR MONTHS AGO! but they were going to make me pay all this money, but this time they couldn't charge me since i just got my computer back from them for the wireless, so he had to send me a new hard drive and recovery disk and it's supposed to take 4-6 hours, i'm only somewhere in hour #2! so hopefully this will be the last of the laptop drama, and i'm warranted for the next 90 days which is long enough for me to invest in a mac!

so that's about it...pray for me, because i have to work 8 am to 3:30 pm tomorrow and we're having this CRAZY sale, but other than that...

Stay oh so Chic!

MUAH!

Just A Lot of...EVERYTHING!

Sunday, November 16, 2008

just took a mickey d's run...ate a egg and cheese biscuit, hash brown...and drank a much needed cup of coffee...


princess loves her coffee too...

so it's been a LONG weekend, mostly saturday. i had to work 2:30 to close and we had this GINORMOUS sale so of course it was HECTIC! this makes me a little scared for the day after thanks giving...
but anywho, i'll rewind and start with friday...

FRIDAY

went to class as usual and carbondale did what it does best...RAIN! i was supposed to take back my hollister sweater, but i keep leaving it at home:( i think they made that sweater for REALLY skinny people...it wasn't working!

i had to pick up a few hair things so i stopped by walgreens to get my olive oil hair lotion and remembered...i wanted to try the aphogee stuff. so i hauled it over to sally's to see if they had it (i forget that we have a sally's down here) and after not seeing it and finally asking I FOUND IT! of course they would be sold out of what i actually came for...the 2 minute reconstructor...so i bought the sample with 2 uses and the keratin & green tea spray...


then i had to get ready for my performance for my dance team, sorry no pics, but i did this eye that i ABSOLUTELY LOVED!




afterwards i came home for my weekly shampoo...usual routine is prepoo, shampoo, condition with humectant, deep condition with tressemme & honey, leave-in, air dry, moisturize then blow dry...take all that but add the 2 minute reconstructor after deep conditioning and the keratin & green tea spray after that and i have to say i LOVE the spray stuff, i would have to give the other stuff a couple more rounds to see how i'm truly feeling about it...

deep conditioning and making enchiladas...YUM!

i just really like this one :P

SATURDAY

i fell asleep before blow drying so i had to do that when i woke up, lounged then rushed off to work around 2 something running late...already mentioned how hectic that day was, but i did a really quick haul at target during my break. i needed another makeup bag, but smaller for my lippies, because I CARRY TOO MANY IN MY PURSE! so i got a cute little one that has skulls on it which i HATE skulls and i'm still contemplating blacking them out and cutting it off the zipper...plus i also picked up some honey roasted peanuts ;}


my LIPPIES! they like their new home 8>


SUNDAY

now i'm sitting here letting my breakfast digest and finishing uploading my video i did thursday...i'm without my beloved laptop so i'm using the bf's and his software is older (he's supposed to be upgrading but who knows when that will happen) and the quality of my video kind of, no, REALLY SUCKS! but it's a lip product tag video...

i pre-warn you that i look a lil coo coo in the vid...but i wasn't on anything nor was i intoxicated...it was a NATURAL HIGH...

the tag vid!




that's all for now me lovelies! i have to start on my paper and get some laundry done...

Stay oh so Chic!


MUAH!

Happy Verteran's Day!!

GIVE ME MORE!

today since there's no school i went for a more minimal fresh faced look...liner, mascara & nude lipstick.



so i picked up a couple of things over the weekend/week so far...it was stuff i either needed or wanted to try out.

so i had to get a clarifying shampoo and got the suave for a dollar and some change


i've been putting off getting the l'oreal carbon black liquid liner and finally got it...love the applicator, i'm wearing this liner in the pic above^



so i've been wanting to try falsies and got 2 nyc lashes for like $1.74 at target...i tried to put them on just playing around and it's NOT working! i think my lahes are too long because they KEEP GETTING IN THE WAY! lol, but i'm def going to get them to work...i'm wearing these bad boys!


the lipstick that i actually order from MAC came today! fresh brew (lustre) is a GORGEOUS nude, LOVE IT! i'm also wearing this in the pic above^
swatch of fresh brew...
_________________________________

GIVE ME A REVIEW!

i'm finally doing a review on a couple of hair products that i've previously purchased over the past couple of weeks...

i absolutely LOVE the conditioner...i've only used the shampoo once and even with prepooing it still leaves my hair feel stripped. i'm going to give a try again, but the conditioner is total love...you can instantly feel how soft and moisturized your hair feels once you put it in!


i've been deep conditioning with this tressemme conditioner and my hair feels SO MUCH STRONGER! i love the little pump and i feel that i get way more than my moneys worth with this stuff ($3.98/bottle) definitely pick this up! it leaves your hair feeling so smooth, soft and manageable!


i had to get a new SOMETHING for my hair at night. i had been using a silk wrap thing, but by the morning that thing would be on the floor! i picked this silk bonnet tie thing up at walmart for a dollar and some change...LOVE THIS! the tie is so convenient and help to ensure that i wake up with that thing on my head! if you're a wild sleeper i would definitely recommend getting this!
