Beyonce (Why Don't You Love Me)



I have to say this video surprised me. It's a very different creative side from Beyonce's team. This video is so fabulous. I don't have the words to articulate how creative it is. It's classic 40/50s glam. The pinup look is very chic, from the exaggerated cat eyes to the wavy up dos. Very Nice. I also love the vintage grainy footage of the video. The nail polish that she used in the video is Chanel Nouvelle Vague very similar to my China Glaze "For Audrey" nails. China Glaze is way cheaper but still fab. It's a deeper shade of turquoise though.

What do you guys think of the video? Do you think it's in any way offensive?

Floral Mania



I'm really making an effort to incorporate floral prints into my wardrobe, Especially dresses. I've gone to stores and looked at their dresses and prints but I was kinda disappointed. I did however like a black maxi dress with a bold larger floral print. I liked it but not enough to buy it. I like sweetheart cuts and the exposed zipper look. I'll probably pair a dress when I find it with sandals and a cardigan. I'm however going to use these two pictures above as inspiration. Btw Leighton Meester is the one sporting a more causal floral look. I like the versatility, a day look or more dressed up for the night. The last piece are from Forever 21. I'm of course going to put my own spin on things, I don't want to end up like my grandma Bernice ( May she rest in peace. I'm excited. Am I the only one scared of floral prints?

Play in Boston









My laptop is being fixed right now so here I am using my brother's. On Friday a couple friends and I went to Boston to see A Mid Summers Night's dream. It's a two and a half hour drive from home. It was a more semi-casual setting so I didn't get all dressed up. The Play was okay. Only the last part was funny though. But anyways here is the outfit that i wore. I didn't have anyone to photograph me so the pics are sectioned off lol. I hope you guys don't mind.

Party It up!





These are pictures from my friend's party on Saturday. I've been meaning to post these but with my laptop getting a virus it's been hard (I'm currently posting from the desktop). I really like this dress. The empire waist and Bubble hem really caught my eye. Fun and playful. My favorite part is the lightening of color on the dress: black to dark metallic purple to light gray and then silver. I think it's really playful. I'm kinda mad I wore my stupid pullover. What the hell! I took it off when I started dancing but I didn't get any picture without it :(.
I have a love hate relationship with dresses. I usually get so overwhelmed looking for dresses. But not this time. Why? you make ask and the simple answer is: I went to a store that I knew would have my size. Going to a store that I knew didn't carry my size but still trying to be hopeful usually frustrates the hell out of me. I found my dress in literally 20 minutes. I wanted it simple and this was perfect. I had so much fun at the party, the most fun I had in a while. What do you guys think?

Turquoise Waters (China Glaze "For Audrey")




I usually get my nails professionally done but sometimes I like to remove the polish they applied and do them myself. I love polishes, I have a basket filled with almost every shade imaginable. Then it comes to my favorite brand and the prize goes to *drum roll*: China Glaze. I absolutely love their nail polishes. Their colors are so vibrant, luxurious, and the application is so smooth looking. My favorite shade is "For Audrey" a lot of people say the inspiration for the color is from Tiffany & Co. Whatever the inspiration I love this color. I hype it all the time and anytime I wear it I get tons of compliments. It reminds me of the turquoise shades in ocean water. When I wear this color I feel like I can conquer the world. Amazing how nail polish can make you feel this way.

Lavender in the Spring





I've gotta start posting my outfits of the day more often. This outfit is actually two weeks old. I know I'm horrible, but I wanted to share. I also need to start posting more often. I've been busy with school and sports but in a couple weeks I'll have more time to post regularly.

I wore this on Easter. I liked the top, it has very subtle stripes, I know everyone says stay away from stripes but I'm like NOOOO!. lol. I paired the rather fluffy top with my structured Pencil skirt. This skirt is starting to be one of my favorites, The faux belt is the perfect touch. My wedges are Aerosoles, practical and cute. They have these really cute eyelet detail. For the eyes I used matte colors, sometime I don't like the shimmery, sparkly tones. Of course I applied liquid liner and mascara, simple.
