Pinterest is my love.

Pinterest and Polyvore have been my obsession lately and because I have posted a set that I created on Polyvore the other day, I wanted to show you guys my Pinterest!  I love Pinterest because its a very organizationally-focused social media and I am happy about that (loser, hahah).  I have more boards than you can see in this picture that include decoration ideas, food ideas and so on.  

Check it out if you like Pinterest and leave me your links below so that we can follow and take inspiration from each other!  Do you guys have Polyvore as well?  Also let me know below.  Thank you so much for reading, you can always send me a tweet.

Hot Chocolate

Who's been loving fall lip colors recently?  Me.  I know the weather hasn't really been cooperating, but I didn't really care.  I don't normally tend to follow the tides when it comes to trends, as you know, and I do what I want at all times.  This Satin finish from MAC called Hot Chocolate is divine.  I always hear beauty gurus on Youtube talking about super popular colors and it just makes me want to try something that I've never heard of even more, hence Hot Chocolate.

I also normally tend to go for matte colors over any other finish because I love the lasting power, but this time I tried something different because I have almost all of the matte colors.  I could be wrong, but I think Satin is a finish very similar to Matte in which it has a decent staying power and has a really nice application.  

The color is a wine red/purple combination and I can totally appreciate it for a casual day and it's even office appropriate because it's not too bold.  I even like it because it has such a warmth to it; in color and in it's name.  I would definitely recommend giving the shade and even this finish a try.

What lip colors have you been loving?  Let me know in the comments below and send me a tweet if you'd like.  Thank you for reading!

Fall Fashion by iJustine.

So I don't think I could get any happier with how today is going.  I must be honest with you, I spent a majority of this day doing nothing but that is how you're supposed to spend your day off, no validation necessary.  While this is true, it wasn't until now (5:28 p.m.) that I found the true meaning of this day, this gem, "Fall Fashion" by iJustine.  

Please, for all that is good and holy, take a look at this wonderful tutorial by iJ and let her explain to you the ways of fall fashion.  The reason why I felt the need to share this is because it combines two of my loves: fall fashion and internet video/social media/youtube.  Oh, did I mention... my favorite color is orange. 

Send me a tweet and let me know what some of your favorite things to wear for fall are.  I tend to gravitate heavily toward the leggings/jeans and tall boots thing.  I love being comfortable when I'm dressing casual and I think its perfect for the fall time.  Although I most likely wont be rocking the same look as iJ, I can totally dig the color palette and instead of tying leaves around me, I'd love to roll around in some outside.

The skirt game and I have been "cliquing" lately.

I can't get enough and have truly been obsessed with ankle booties, even since mid-August when it was way to hot to wear them (even though it still is now because its been eerily hot lately).  That being said, I set out to create a set based on skirts today but I ended up making this and just absolutely loving everything about it.  

When I chose the skirts I wanted to style, I was thinking, "Oh, I'll make this a New York vs. Los Angeles" type thing.  I figured with the leather being NY and the white being LA there would be a difference but I would wear both outfits.  I can no classify the difference being the left outfit I would wear for fall (with tights if necessary) and the right I'd wear for a haute summer night.

Let me know where you'd wear both outfits in the comments below.  You can also send me a tweet and let me know what you'd style differently.  Pin with me and share some of your favorite quotes and outfits.  Also check out my Youtube channel for some videos soon!  Talk to you all soon and thank you for reading.

The Fall Primaries

Hey everyone!  I am back.  I know I have posted on here much in September, but I have been busy and super tired lately.  I have been thinking about soooo many different things that I can post here and I have tons of ideas including some styling videos and hauls and more.  How have you all been?  The weather has been legitimately out of control.  For about two weeks in September, it felt like it was turning into fall and then all of a sudden at the end and when October started, it was (and still is) 80 degrees all of the time.  

With that being said, I am so happy to start primarily wearing darker colors on my nails and I am most certainly ready to start wearing darker clothes.  Not that I tend to follow rules when it comes to fashion, I just really like making it feel a little bit more like fall around this time of year all around.  I thought it would be cute to do a post on the fall primaries.  No, I am not talking about an election of some kind, hahah.  As you know, red, blue and yellow are the primary colors so I selected a color from each palette to share with you.  I hope this inspires you to try something different, read on!

Blue: Ski Teal We Drop, OPI

Yellow: Colour Punch, MAC

Red: Mirror Mirror, Sinful Colors

Ski Teal We Drop is a great color.  I feel like it came out with the Swiss collection or something and when I saw it I knew I had to have it.  It is exactly what it says, a teal, but a dark teal.  I think this is the perfect selection for someone who wants to wear a blue and transition to the fall at the same time.  As you all know, I have raved about the formulation of the OPI polishes before, so thats not even a question.  Dark teal is divine in my book!

Mirror Mirror is interesting.  I love the color and the reason why I picked it up was because I heard that Sinful Colors came out with a "Gel" range and I wanted to see if it was worth the hype.  For $1.99, Sinful Colors makes a great polish and I usually like all of the colors they come out with.  All of these things combined, nothing ever stops me from picking up a couple of bottles when I'm at the drugstore.  

This polish, because it was marketed as gel, was marked up a dollar to $2.99, which I didn't mind because that is also a steal.  I have this color red already but I was so into the "oxblood" color because it was so lovely last year and I knew it would be again.  What I have to say is that the formula of this one is not as good as the regular ones.  I was surprised because I also thought the color payoff would be extra shiny (rightfully so, as gel polishes normally come out this way).  The application wasn't easy and it was kind of goopy.

The MAC polish is really pretty.  The application is really nice and I love the color, it just reminds me of falling leaves and it makes me genuinely happy.

Will you try these colors?  Let me know in the comments below or send me a tweet.  Thank you so much for reading the blog and be sure to subscribe to my Youtube channel if you want to see some outfits coming up soon!
