Happy Monday all!! This weekend was just ok…very frustrating because the hairstyle I wanted to make happen didn’t 
so I just took the braids out and left it at that (so annoyed!). On the upside, I got to H&M this weekend to snatch up these amaaaaazing pants from the 2012 Fashion Against Aids campaign where they donate 25% of each item sold to raising awareness of the disease. It is a GREAT cause, and you can look good while supporting it so why not? Here’s an in-store pic from the collection:
In all of the hoopla surrounding today, I completely forgot to do a post (I don’t usually post on Sundays…so it was easy to forget). I could do this super long, drawn out speech, but that’s not my style. This post is dedicated to my mom: the woman who raised me and my brothers to be the crazy adults we all became. 
You are the best…nothing more needs to be said. Happy Mother’s Day!!
Hi again! This week our guest is Anna from Life In Magazines. Her blog features lots of cool looks to help you if ever you wonder what a celeb is wearing…or if you just are having a hard time putting together an outfit. She is very thorough with her posts – making sure to link all of the info on where you can find each item…love!
You did it….you made it through the week! *applause* I am actually looking forward to being pretty lazy this weekend since the last one was so hectic…nothing much really in the way of plans other than doing my hair. I just took my braids down and so far the style that I’d had in mind isn’t working out. I hate when that happens….anyway, a couple of weeks ago one of my sister+friends had a party for her son (my adopted nephew lol) and I went along to help her out. My other friend Brit and I helped setup, and I took all the pics that day. It actually turned out to be a great party but mannnnn was I tired afterwards….those kids we’re amped up (maybe cuz of the cake, cotton candy, pinata, goodie bags….*shrug) !! lol. This post really is just random ramblings haha but I wanted to share some of the pics from that day.
Cotton candy machine…oh yeah!
Another busy day….*sigh*. Tuesdays I have drafting class and if you know anything about it, then you know if sucks lol. On an upside, I did this post a little while back about different ways to wear fur and I featured this dress. Well, fast forward to a couple months ago and while checking the clearance rack (as I often do lol) I came across this dress. So funny…I never thought I’d get it, I just saw it on their site at the time (I was in Japan and couldn’t get it) and thought it was cute. Guess it’s true…good things come to those who wait.
As I said yesterday, I had a big marketing project that I was working on…and it was due today. Not only that, but I had a midterm too – so I was definitely not in the mood to worry about being cute in heels lol. Enter my newest purchase These shoes are super comfy – great for the powerwalk/run to the store 8 blocks away that I had to do for a presentation folder. :-/ This was a very low maintenance outfit, but I think I still looked cute haha. I forgot to take a pic of my bag…but I think I’ll just do a separate post later since I’m doing this from my phone.
Jacket – Ebay
Shirt - Forever 21
Shorts – Uniqlo
Shoes – Shiekh
Hey guys!! This has definitely been a super busy week/weekend for me…and I’m sure there is more to come *sigh* lol. I had this huge marketing project to do so finalizing that has taken up the majority of today. It is a group project so I am grateful for that – but me being the type A that I am, I had to be the one to put the final presentation together. All in all I think it looks great…let’s just hope our teacher thinks so too!
Anywho, I recently was featured on the awesome blog 6 Pins In A Shoe…so cool! Brooklyn seems like such a fun, free spirit and I love how different our styles are….it makes me want to visit her blog that much more (that plus I LOVE her name haha). She also features lots of new and emerging bloggers which I think is very cool since some of our core readers may never cross paths. She is a cutie pie….go over and check her out!
Have a good night!!
Our guest this time is Miss B from Little Miss Twiggy. I recently discovered her blog through IFB (independent fashion bloggers) and have been going through her archives to read all of the posts I haven’t seen. I love how she has such a variety of posts – fashion, features, travel – there’s so much to see!
Yesterday my school hosted an open house which I volunteered to help out with (so did my buddy Jade…hey girl! ). As a current student, they wanted me to be there to answer any questions potential students and parents may have had for someone who is actually where they are going to be.
It was amazing not only to speak with so many bright eyed high schoolers lol but it was also a great networking opportunity for me. One thing that I have learned is to never let the opportunity to make a new contact and/or friend pass you by; but with that said, I need to get some new business cards printed up ASAP. I got everyone’s email addresses, but having a card handy would have been that much better. That is on my to do list this week…
The problem with buying more than one nail polish at a time is having to decide which color you want to use first. Well, at least for me that’s a problem lol. Since I couldn’t make the decision between these two, I didn’t. If you think I’m nuts, just know that I actually bought 4 different colors that day – so the fact that I am only wearing two today is a big step hahaha! Have a good Sunday.
Colors used: Rockstar Pink and Snappy Sorbet
