Circle skirt Obsession
















DATE NIGHT!  I had a date, not with my boyfriend but with my best friend to go get some sushi at our favorite restaurant, RA ! We always like to get a bit more dolled up to go out since we don't get to wear heels very often. Lately I am absolutely obsessed with circle skirts ! I'm still searching for a leather one for fall, definitely on my wish list along with some black pointed heels to wear with my boyfriend jeans. It really doesn't take a lot of money to put together a great outfit and this is a perfect example! The sheer top is my new favorite shirt since its neutral and it even plays up some jeans with heels for a night out. The circle skirt is a cotton stretch which is super comfy and the belt I've had for a longgg time (before studding was in style). I added some black and gold accessories and finished off with some black suede wedges! On a side note thank you everyone that reads constantly and stays updated. <3  ALSO guys be sure to comment on posts !! I'd love to hear know what kinds of looks you guys like the most or what you would like to see more of ! Hope you guys love the look!
     Happy Saturday Everyone !

Expanding My Wardrobe














Blogging in San Antonio is actually quite fun ! It makes me feel like I get to travel a lot which usually doesn't happen . I'm currently at the hotel watching the start to Mexico's independence day ! Woooohoooo !  VIVA MEXICO !! This  outfit is one of the comfiest I've worn yet since I usually don't wear plain tank tops. Do you guys ever notice yourself buying all of the same kinds of shirts or pants? I;m trying to expand my closet so I have a variety of this to wear. I fell in love with this tank at XXI in San Antonio since it was a rare green color and had black crosses which are very "in" at the moment. From time to time I try to stay away from my typical colors and types of shirts and have more pieces to mix and match with. I wore some all black skinnies from XXI,added my denim jacket from Gap and finished off with some tan accessories. My clutch is also from XXI in San Antonio and my shoes are Kelsey. I always have trouble finding outfits to wear my mens black watch from Fossil with but this seemed to match just fine. I'm super glad the views keep growing and I sure hope to have more videos up soon. Thank you guys so much for reading !

Feeling Woodsy












GUYS ! We're almost at 1000 VIEWS on the blog !!!!!!!!!!! Absolutely a blessing !!!! also my first YouTube video passed 100 views! I couldn't be more excited for having the blog up a month and a half I'm so pleased and motivated to keep going. A HUGE thank you to very one that has checked out my blog and my video ! I can't wait to make more and work on getting some subscribers ! I shot this OOTD during the week and its definitely right up my alley. I'm wearing some XXI jeans rolled up at the ankles a comfy white tank from VS and my favorite dark green anorak from XXI that i got while I was in San Antonio. Paired it with my cheetah loafers , added some gold chunky jewelry and finished off with the easiest hair ever : a top bun. The thing I love about top buns is that they look so classy and put together yet they're so fast to do, and they're my favorite kind of hairstyle when you're wearing a high collar or a statement necklace that you want to show off. I'm also in love with my nail polish I'm wearing here its from Rimmel - English Rose (since I love all things english anyways). Again, I'm forever grateful for everyone that has taken time out to check out my blog I'm super excited about what is to come and I can't wait to show more outfits and makeup tips. Don't forget to subscribe on Youtube !!

Autumn is Here



   







Thanks to a mini cold front here in Houston I wore full jeans the whole day through without dying of heatstroke ! This was extremely exciting especially because I also wore closed shoes and a quarter sleeve blouse ! The weather felt just right so I decided to wear my mustard yellow mid-rise jeans from XXI with zippers and the ankles; recently I purchased  gorgeous royal blue loafers with gold studding and I wanted to wear them too which always seems to be my problem when I get new items and I want to wear them all together. I compromised and wore them both haha with a simple white blouse which is made of silky material. To pull the outfit together I added a large chain link necklace which I had desperately been searching for and finally found in gold to match the studding detail on the loafers. I Slicked my hair into a top bun but french braided the bottom for some extra interest. Finally added a chunky gold ring i've had forever and used my all time obsession Wet and Wild nude lipstick on my lips. As my bag I took my handy Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM.


Happy Monday !

Spice Up Your T-Shirts


Feeling a bit rockerish that day... I'm REALLY not a big fan of tshirts because I feel like theres sooo many gorgeous shirts to wear but I do own some very comfy ones and when I wear them i don't like to only wear them with jeans. Instead I'd weather spice them up with a short A line skirt or a sold maxi like I did here. The look was super effortless and super comfy. I wore a faded T shirt from XXI with a solid black stretch maxi skirt, added some geometric earrings I recently got while in San Antonio and a purse I got there too with some plain t strap sandals. I love side purses because it gives me room to use my hands and arms freely especially when I'm at school. The black side purse can also be used as a clutch which is why I fell in love with it instantly! I purchased plenty of cute things while in San Antonio at the opening day of their HUGE XXI at La Cantera, I finally went to Love Culture where I found my black purse I had been looking for ! More OOTDs to come so keep so stay tuned ! XO <3

                                                             <3 HAPPY SUNDAY !

Red Lips & Polka Dots








While in San Antonio two weeks ago we stayed at La Cantera and had an amazing time ! Here is my favorite outfit from the trip. My best friend took these right out side of our room. 
I'm wearing my high waisted Lauren Conrad shorts, some T strap blue and gold Mossimo sandals, my favorite Joseph A. sweater, and some gold accessories. Really simple and perfect for the warm weather that weekend. The sweater I usually wear with leggings or skinnies so instead I knotted it on my side so the shorts would show. I'm absolutely in love with Covergirl lipsticks, they don't flake or rub off, once its on it feels like you're not even wearing anything and the colors are amazing definitely need to get some more! <33 I've been super busy redoing my room (which I will also be posting )that I hadn't had time to post my outfits from San Antonio yet but they'll be up soon ! I got tonsss of things this August and a video would be way to long , not to mention its almost fall so I might just do some favorites ! Look out for those and thanks for reading everyone!
