What I'm Loving


My Top Product "Loves"
 Coconut Lime Breeze Triple Body Moisture Cream keeps my skin extra smooth and smelling great! I mainly use this product on my hands, arms, and feet to ensure they stay soft and smooth all throughout the wintertime.
Dial Exfoliating Body Wash has the best fresh, clean smell ever! Plus, the exfoliating beads help to make your skin smooth and bacteria-free. My skin feels so refreshed after using this product!

Argan oil leave-in conditioner keeps my hair shiny, untangled, and soft for the past month! This product has prevented excessive breaking and dryness that I usually suffer when my new growth starts to come in. I use this product about every other day before bed to make my hair super shiny and manageable in the morning.

Back 2 School: My Favorite Supply Essentials

School supply shopping is one of my favorite back to school activities, besides clothes shopping. School supplies are meant to last you at all year or at least one semester which means it needs to fit your style! My favorite back to school supply essentials include pencil cases,  a backpack, folders, and a cute planner. Pencil cases come in so many different shapes, styles, and colors while backpacks come in a variety or prints and colors that can match your style perfectly. Folders are my favorite because you can store all types of papers and information. Planners are the best supply that work for more than just back to school because you can keep everything up to date!

My Nail Polish Faves


Neutrals polishes are beautiful colors on all skin tones which is why they're some of my favorite nail polish colors. I like my neutrals in various shades browns and greys, sometimes deep blues and purples, because I love the subtleness and simplicity it gives my nails. The best neutral colors in my opinion come from the O.P.I. and China Glaze nail brands.

Every girl has to own at least one glitter nail polish. Glitter nail polish give you a touch of glam girliness whether the glitter covers your entire nail or is working as a top coat over a solid color. What I love is that glitter nail polish is great for an accent nail and work for any style. However, the downside to glitter is that it's tough to get off and requires an acetone nail polish remover. Sally Hansen and O.P.I have the best options for glitter nail polish.

Pink, orange, and red nail polishes are my top oils for bright spring and summer nail looks. Pinks are perfect for sprin and flower nail designs while reds are classic and can be bright enough to compete with the summer sun. Orange nail polishes are quirky cool because they are bright and different. I love getting my colorful polishes from all types of brands and always use a white base coat to make the colors appear brighter.


A nail file, clippers, cuticle cream, and an overall nail kit are a must if you want to keep your nails looking good. Never file your nails going straight across or attempt to make big changes with just a file, clip the nail first and use the file for adjustments while filing all in one direction. Clip your nails when they break to not case further breakage and chipping, don't ever use your teeth! A good cuticle cream will help to keep your nails feel and look smooth and super clean.

3 Golden Globe Awards Hair Faves

The 70th Golden Globe Awards consisted of so many beautiful celebrities, jaw-dropping gowns, and gorgeous beauty looks. However, the hair looks stood out to me the most with a majoritity of the female celebs pulling their hair out of their faes into intricate buns, old hollywood waves, and edgy updos. Pulling your hair out of your face is such a big risk, and sometimes an insecurity to ladies everywhere, but I am ready for it to become a big hair trend. Below are 3 of my hair faves from the 70th Golden Globe Awards and tips on how you can rock the looks. 
Katherine McPhee
Buns can literally be worn anywhere, anytime, and with anything. Katherine McPhee's bun can easily be turned into an everyday style because of its effortlessness and ease. The fact that it is not pulled back to tightly and not polished makes the bun retain its youthfulness while still being chic. The bun can easily be achieved by adding a shine/smoothing serum to your hair, pulling it into a ponytail, then very loosely wrap the hair around in circles while pinning it down with bobby pins. Fly aways are perfectly fine which makes the look great if you don't have a lot of time and still want to look cute.
 
Julianne Hough
If you're going to pull your hair out of your face, do it with some edge like Julianne Hough. The slick back sides frame and contour her face while the pompadour adds the BAM to the hair look. All you need to recreate Juliannes look are bobby pins, a brush, and a holding spray. Brush your edges back, leaving the center out, into a low bun. Tease the remaining hair to your liking, shape the pompadour, then secure it into the bun with bobby pins. You may need holding spray to keep the edgy look in place. The hair is perfect when you want to keep your hair ot the way while still feeling glam and edgy.

Megan Fox
 Old Hollywood waves never get which is why I love Megan Fox's hair style. Hollywood waves may seem like way too much for everyday, but there is definitely a way to make it work. Create waves in your hair whether through a curling iron, braids, or just use your natural hair texture and brush all of it to one side of your hair. You may need bobby pins to keep the hair all to one side or you can use hair accessories such as a flower clips or bejeweled hairbands.

People's Choice Award 2013 Fashion Faves

I have to be honest, I did not watch the People's Choice Award 2013, but I did watch the fashions on the red carpet. I saw an array of gowns, mini dresses, and of course the suit jacket with jeans on the male celebrities. Although there were so many beautiful looks being seen, what stuck out to me were the bright dresses and geometric patterns that I instantly fell in love with.. It may be winter, but it's still perfectly fine to break out your bright colors and bring the shine to everyone's day.
Lea Michele
Lea's dress is the perfect amount of pink and gives the ultimate girly vibe without being too sweet. The shape fits her body creating a tiny waist and curves while the sparkle pattern adds to defining a curvier shape to her body as well. The sparkles add a sexiness while not being too provocative since her actual body parts are not exposed. Lea has got the sweet and sexy look down! 
Emma Watson
Emma Watson has always been a style favorite of mine, especially because of her quirky yet fashionable look. Her People's Choice Award 2013 dress is a great length and with the cut outs it shows the perfect amount of skin. The colors and geometric patterns of her dress give off a great visual appeal and an arrtistic vibe. Emma's shoes also add major length to her legs because of the straps giving her an A+ in my books.

Chloe Moretz
Chloe Moretz has a styke that I absolutely love because I would gladly wear anything from her closet. Her dress makes me long for summertime even more than I already do as well as a bright yellow a-line dress. The flower pattern is quirky while girly but it stays teen appropriate with the sheer addition that takes the dress to a whole new level.

What Im Loving: Early Fall

What Im Loving

I am currently loving early fall, the weather is breezy, cool, and peaceful. The weather calls for light jackets and sweaters, booties, and even cute pairs of printed tights. Lately I have been seeing so many leather skirts in magazines and they are amazing! Leather skirts add a great amount of edge while still having a soft feel because of their variety of cuts and shapes. Letterman jackets are preppy and fun, I finally got one for myself. Lettermans are lightweight so if it's just a little windy you can throw it on and not burn up. Booties are too cute to me because they allow you to show off your outfit and not be overpowered by long zippers and tall. Booties work with skirts, dresses, jeans, just about everything. The purse adds flair because of the cool print and is small enough to not way you down, but still has enough room for all your must haves. Lastly the two tops are both graphic and slouchy which adds a unqiue image to your look as well as comfort.

What I'm Loving: JLANI Jewels

I am currently loving and obsessed with JLANI Jewels and the pieces they sent me. JLANI Jewels is an amazing jewelry collection that has been worn by celebrities like Beyonce, Jay-Z, Rita Ora, Zoe Saldana, Dakota Fanning, and more. JLANI Jewels uses stainless steel which calls for little maintenance and a nice modern look. The fact that they use a recyclable metals for the jewelry is even better because the pieces are environmentally friendly. Keep on reading to check out the pieces.


 The pieces were sent to me in this cute little baggie with a sleek and chic JLANI card. Even though the little black bag isn't a piece, it was perfect to use for storing a small amount of jewelry while traveling.
Here you can see me wearing the two-tone multi link chain as a bracelet/ring duo, the clover leaf key as a statement necklace, and the mini cross ring. Since I love to mix gold and silver colored jewelry I had to wear all my pieces at once. Each piece fits perfectly into an edgy, girly, quirky, or even a glam look. 
The chain and mini cross ring look so simple, dainty, and elegant on my hand while still making a statement. The gold and silver contrast will pop against any skin tone and the draping of the chain across the hand is a flirty touch. The mini cross ring is so cute to me especially since it is dainty and one of my favorite symbols.

 I'm not usually a hoop earring girl primarily because hoops are usually heavy and irritate my ears. However, these hoops were light on my ears and didn't make my head look extremely small is comparison to the side. The ability to wear hoop earrings without my ears getting irritated was a super plus for me. The statement key necklace is great for dressing up a plain tee or adding to a chic blouse.

Be sure to check out JLANI Jewels on their website to check out more of their pieces that fit your specific look or style! Don't forget to also look for them on Instagram and Twitter.

My Favorite Emmy 2012 Gowns

Now I have to be honest I did not watch the Emmy's, but I did watch the red carpet fashion. The top colors of dresses ranged from sea blues, glittering colors, purples, and tangerines. The designs went from fitted forms, to draping, and sexy slits. My top faves were Ginnifer Goodwin, Sofia Vergara, Heidi Klum, and Hayden Panettiere. Ginnifer took an abstract patteren design, while Sofia and Heidi  had their own versions of sexy looks, and Hayden went into complete goddess mode. All the gowns were jaw dropping!
