Urban Decay: Naked on the Run

It was one of those late nights where you can’t sleep, and you still want to do something like shopping, but of course, all of the stores are closed because it’s 10:40 pm. If you’re a makeup geek like I am, you’ve probably found yourself on Ulta.com telling yourself you’re only going to browse the…

Catrice: Eyebrow Stylist

Ever since I tried the Al Burgundi eyeshadow by Catrice forever ago, which stunned me at how gorgeous the pigmentation was, I promised myself that I would check out the rest of their beauty line. While I love Benefit’s Gimme Brow, and the Becca: Shadow & Light Brow Contour Mousse, prestige brands at Ulta can…

Wishing for a Perfect Hair Day? Me Too.

A few weeks ago, I sat on the floor of my room in front of my door, which has a long mirror, and let reality sink in as I looked at how unruly my hair had gotten. I had more split ends than I could count on both hands. Not to mention, my hair constantly…

Behind the Scenes of Fashion

When I was in high school, I remembered watching one too many episodes of America’s Next Top Model. I was inspired. Most nights, I’d come back from school, sit on the couch with my homework propped on top of a folder and write in between commercial breaks on the sofa arm. I was mesmerized by…

Rose Gold Accessories

If you’ve read my previous article about Express, then you’ll know that I became like Bex from Confessions of a Shopaholic during the scene where she goes to Henri Bendel and admires how gorgeous the green scarf on the mannequin is, tries to talk herself out of it, but ultimately buys it. Well, that was…

Express: Turnlock Cross Body Bag

I’ve never owned a taupe handbag before in my life. Now that I have one, I can’t imagine life without it. For the longest time, I’ve been meaning to build a basic handbag collection of white, cognac, taupe, and black. Yet, I’ve always found myself drawn to deep hunter greens, beautiful burgundies, teal, and the…

Sweet Summer Party Ideas

One of the things that I love about Dollar Tree is that you find the most unexpected things there. On one of my days off of work this week, I took a trip to Dollar Tree to pick up some home essentials. I didn’t expect that when I was pushing my shopping cart past the…

Kate Spade: Cameron Street Adalyn

I’ve always been the kind of person to buy one wallet and keep it for years and years until it is literally falling apart. In the past, wallets have never seemed like something I should invest in. I would buy wallets that were trendy and cute, rather than durable. I couldn’t justify buying an expensive…

DIY Spa Day

One of the nicest things to do after a long day of work is to treat your skin to a nice face mask. It wasn’t until last month that I discovered that my workaholic lifestyle was not only stressing me out, but I was neglecting my skin, and everything took a turn for the worst….

It’s All in the Details

One of the things I love about military jackets, is that they go with almost any outfit, and are still considered contemporary in the fashion world even with the trends that come and go each season. This year especially, it seems like designers are taking the basic military jacket style and taking it up a…

DIY Summer Manicure

The first time I went to a nail salon, was when I got my silver chrome nails back in March when I visited my best friend. While I loved the whole experience of getting my nails done, enjoyed learning about gel nails, and marveled over the reveal of the silver chrome…shelling out $35.00 was a…

Makeup Revolution: Fortune Favors the Brave

Ever since Makeup Revolution released its new makeup palette in collaboration with Britishbeautyblogger last year, I was so excited after I watched a video of swatches on Makeup Revolution’s YouTube page of Fortune Favors the Brave. All of the eyeshadows seemed vibrant, highly pigmented, and swatched like a colorful dream. I held back on buying…

Keeping Up with Contemporary

Once upon a time, I stared at everything in my closet and realized that the clothes once loved during my high school years, and college years, finally needed to go. I had collected a plethora of camis, trendy crop top t-shirts, and shirts that were so low cut that there was no way that it…

Rebecca Minkoff Hologram Bag

As much as I love over-sized handbags, because they’re perfect for throwing your travel essentials in, carrying snacks, and packing an extra sweater; I came to the realization after my vacation in Texas, that my Marc by Marc Jacobs Green Pebbled Leather Shoulder Bag was not perfect on days where I just wanted to carry…

The Travel Diaries: A Trip to Texas

I have to admit, it took five edits of this article, and some serious writer’s block, when I realized that the best way to describe my first trip to Texas would be through pictures in a slideshow. As the saying goes, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” I feel like Texas could be described…
