Be glam. Be fancy.
Time really flies when you’re on vacation! Four days passed right by me! While out in the sunny peach state, I had quite a fun time and did a wee bit of shopping as well. As you could probably tell from my beauty wishlist I have my eyes set on quite a lot these days but I kept it simple (and vacay budget friendly!) while shopping at Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza. I stopped by two of my favorite stores, Forever 21 and Nordstrom, to pick up some essentials. Check it out!
It seems like everyone really brought their A game to the Academy Awards this year! There were so many beautiful looks on the red carpet last night but I have to say Halle Berry took the cake. I mean wow! She looks drop dead gorgeous in this plunging metallic Versace gown. The detailing is absolutely amazing and Halle looks super glam in the metallic finish. I love how she kept the neckline accessory free. There’s just no competing with that plunge!
One of the best parts about being a girl is shoe shopping! I suppose Influenster feels the same way because a coupon for $25 off a pair of shoes from Sole Society was included in my Holiday Vox Box! I checked out the site and I think the shoes are pretty affordable and soo adorable! I’m totally considering ordering a pair just for the heck of it. If you’re shopping for a new pair of shoes I’d definitely recommend you check them out. Be sure to use the code Influenster25 for $25 off! Happy shopping!
The best part about watching award shows is getting to check out all the hauteness on the red carpet! I’m a sucker for high fashion and gorgeous gowns so the Golden Globe Awards this year left me feeling like a little girl in a candy store. There were soo many beautiful looks that I wanted to blog about but I narrowed it down to my absolute faves. Of course, there has to be an absolute favorite look of the night and Jessica Alba was draped all in it! Doesn’t she look absolutely fabulous?! She totally wowed me with this peach strapless Oscar de la Renta gown. Her figure looks amazing and I love the soft, loose wave hair and coral lipstick. I also love that she paired this stunning dress with a diamond studded Harry Winston necklace and a furry Roger Vivier clutch. Very elegant, Jessica!
A little while ago I caught the most amazing deal shopping online at Charlotte Russe! I love buying my shoes from Charlotte Russe because they’re extremely affordable and not super cheap looking. You can always catch a nice sale on shoes but the best deal is their BOGO sales. I’ve been eyeing these two booties for a while and finally decided to pick them up when Charlotte Russe had a BOGO $15.50 sale. I’m glad this sale doesn’t require a discount code at checkout because I was able to use the code YESPLZ for an additional 10% off and free shipping! This brought my total down to a little over $62 after tax. Awesome, right?? Check it out!

Influenster really knows how to bring in the holiday cheer! I completed a few of the brand challenges from the Beauty Blogger program and one of the prizes was an automatic qualification for the Holiday Vox Box. I received the email about a week ago and finally received my box! Definitely great timing with Christmas being right around the corner. Check out what came inside!
I haven’t been doing as much shopping as I’d personally like but I’ve definitely been snagging some goodies here and there! Not too long ago I stopped by Forever 21 hoping to find some nice bottoms. The store I went to had TONS of stuff but slim pickings on cute bottoms. I did manage to find some really cute sort of khaki material shorts though! I actually picked up three pairs but I wore a pair already and they’re lost in my dirty clothes pile lol. The ones I wore were khaki colored and I also grabbed a pair in light pink and a taupe-ish color. They’re extremely comfortable and airy. I love that they don’t fit really tight and they’re super versatile. I can dress them up or dress them down. Such a great buy! And they were only $14!
My mom has been hauling her butt off for me! I sooo appreciate all her nice finds! Recently she went out shopping and found the cutest colored denims. I love them!
Ok let me start off by saying that I am by no means a makeup artist. Makeup is just something I love and have a divine passion for. It’s the main reason why I started this blog! So when I was asked to do makeup for an upcoming photo shoot I was elated! My boyfriend is a photographer (and friggin superman!!) and he’s been working with a beautiful young lady named Teya to launch her site for her accessory line. He recommended my services for the next shoot and the rest was history!
Today started out super dark and rainy. We had a huge thunderstorm here that knocked the power out so I didn’t feel like getting too dolled up. I did put together a nice casual fit though!
I decided to throw on a taupe cover up over a white cami and throw on some jeans. For that touch of Fancie, I wore my super cute animal print flats and my favorite Juicy Couture bag. (:
