New Shoes & Early Spring/Summer Shopping!

Time for a Little Change...

so, i get my ipod this week, yay! but since i had to wait the bf ordered me some more blowfish shoes (which got sent to his mother's house, so i had to wait a little longer to get them) but he got me 2 pair of the hobbit sneakers: one in black and the other in a pretty blue...

the blue ones are definitely more of a springish type color and it already has me anticipating a wardrobe change. idk about you guys, but i get started early shopping for the next season. most sites usually have some decent sales going on for the next season. i've been recently looking at sunglasses.

i feel kind of cheated, because i found these incredible pair of betsey johnson sunglasses on macys.com on sale for $40 and they retail either $80 or $90. i held off purchasing them and thought they would still be there to purchase later, but they were gone! i can still find them on the net, but definitely not for $40, boo...

but, i will be picking up a couple of pairs of shades from alloy in a few colors of the sunglasses i previously owned before i broke them...they run for $10.50 and they now have a wider color selection...

super cute!
(comes in: gray, olive, plum, tortoise, turquoise, & white)

Stay oh so Chic!

MUAH!

New Puppy & My Shoes!

i got a new puppy last week! came home to yet another surprise from the bf...no exactly the type of dog i wanted, but she's still cute. i decided to name her Da'Lyla and get out of the habit of giving my pets royal names i.e. Duchess and Princess.

she is a handful, like every other puppy...she's a lab/terrier mix, so i hope she doesn't get too bi8g, because i didn't want a big dog to begin with...

princess warmed up to her quicker than she did harlee...still don't know what happened to her, but i think the bf does...

i absolutely ADORE this pic!

my shoes the bf ordered for me off delia's finally arrived yesterday! some of you know that this was in one of my top five lists and they are even cuter on and in person! i cannot wait for it to feel a little more like fall out here so i can wear them...it's been raining a lot lately so i hope that's a sign saying goodbye 80 degree weather! i LOVE fall/winter!

Stay oh so Chic!
MUAH!

Because I Just Wanted To!

i didn't really have anything planned for the day and decided to just go with the flow...i did a look video on the FOTD...it's a simple very, very soft pink look...

here's the vid!

and i finally have an outfit post! everything is from ON...i absolutely LOVE these shorts, they're really really short, but adore them!

i have a mini, mini haul from ON...they still have some nice stuff on sale...

(it was only $4! so i couldn't resist)

(nice for layering in the fall/winter...only $7)


(nice fit...not too tight, not too loose, only $7!)

Stay oh so Chic!
MUAH!

i'm am not that tall of a person...i barely make 5'4, so there is no surprise in my love of all shoes high. my legs are so short so i like to create the illusion that i'm taller than what i really am...i pair 3 1/2, 4 inch heels with shorts, a point to stiletto with boot cut or wide legged pants and tall boots with skinnies...it also doesn't help that my bf is kind of tall...here are a few pairs of heels i'm loving and even thinking about snagging...

Shop til I Almost Dropped!

when i woke up this morning i really didn't plan to do anything if at all...but i got a call from my cousin who had to run some errands...thus the shopping began...

i wanted to go for a glowy type look inspired from an ad i saw in Teen Vogue...

here's the video for the look...

i also went simple with my outfit...the shirt is from Wet Seal & the scarf & bottoms are from ON...

now begins the haulage...we went to Bare Feet, which is one of my FAVORITE shoe stores & i picked up two pair of heels...

the store was in a strip so we went to this beauty supply store that i always wanted to go in but never actually went in...i was in heaven! the store carried a big selection of NYX, Sinful Colors, Wild & Crazy & the like...here are some swatches & pics of what i got...

i wish these lipsticks were a lil creamier...but great color payoff!

then we went to the mall & i got a couple of things from ON since they were having a sale (the shorts weren't on sale even though they should've been)

i had fun...but the next hauls you see coming will be for back to school...so yea!

Stay oh so Chic!
MUAH!

so earlier today i went to Jewels (a grocery store) & picked up a few things...i finally got the Lash Blast! i'm excited to try it, but i'm waiting bc i have a couple of mascaras open already...i paid $4 & some change for it...i was definitely not paying 7 or 8 dollars for it...i'm still looking for the Colossal...

but i also picked up two of Wet n Wild's Mega Mixers which are a even cheaper "version" of HIP's jelly balms which are a cheaper dupe of MAC's tendertones...i have yet to get a tendertone (i really want one now after all the youtube vids) but this mega mixer was 99 cents & i honestly could've kept my $2...they are named after mixed drinks (like daiquiris) but the fragrance is so STRONG!

i've heard the tendertones have a slight fruity smell & the jelly balms smell like cake batter (yum) to me [idk where ppl are getting the coco butter smell from...] but the mixers are BEYOND strong...it smells like it should be in a fragrance store with the other strong perfumes or whatever....the texture is so THIN & you have to keep reapplying it to feel assured there's something on your lips & even then there's still nothing...

i stuck my finger in & it barely moved...the jelly balms, to me, are soft & easily move under my pressure...i've seen many comparison videos on youtube of the jelly balms & tendertones & most the time wonder if me & the person in the video brought the same product, bc i don't agree with a lot of what i here about them, but anyways...for 99 cents you get what you pay for, i wouldn't buy any more & will probably hardly ever use this one (i gave one to my sister who didn't really like it either...)

i feel it's more for someone younger who may not understand the value of a product & how much money plays a part in it's outcome...like 7 to 13, maybe 14 year olds...there is NO COLOR AT ALL very sheer, the jelly balms (depending on the color) give a better color pay off...the jelly balms have 4.5 grams of product & the mixers have 5 grams...if you want to try them & judge for yourself feel free...they're only 99 cents to begin with so try 1 & see how you feel about them:)

i finished the second book today Forget Me Not by Adrianne Byrd! this book was so GOOD! i tend to pick books that i know i will like (try to stay away from the hustling, gang banging, stripper turned- books...i still like some of them though) but this book had me at page one & it is hard for that to happen with me...

the story itself is filled with suspense & mystery (which i loved) & books that make me work a lil are always good for me...i TOTALLY recommend this book you will not regret this purchase...the books i purchased were $7 each & so far they have been worth every penny...i'm starting the last book tonight Dangerous/Sexy by Beverly Jenkins...i loved her book Deadly Sexy & i expect this one to be just as good...but yes get the two i've told you about already & i'll soon let you know about the final book...
