Hello, hello! :) Here's an outfit post! Yay! A little different than something I would usually wear, but I've just been itching to wear my American Apparel chiffon maxi skirt lately. Also, a lot of my clothes need to be washed! Oops! I'll get to that this week.

This is what I had on today, but when I went out later on I ended up wearing my vest with the outfit... (see below!)

I also bought a couple of things recently! I bought a dress on sale from Target from the Alice Temperley collection... $11... what a steal! I love it. I really need some more formal dresses! I love this for fall too! It would look great with some black leggings, thick socks, boots, and a pretty long necklace! Oh yeah, and the new season Cinco of Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! ~M| F4V0R|T3~

I also got some new makeup today since I desperately need it! Since I am broke, I can't really afford my usual MAC and Urban Decay makeup regimen (not until I'm working again at least, trust me) so I got drugstore makeup! (Which I love all the same!) I got a new pink blush from CoverGirl, the classic, and cheapest, pink and green tube Maybelline mascara, elf face power for a wopping $1, and a CoverGirl red lipliner (which I needed SO bad!) I can't wait to try it all out this week! I'm thinking about doing my makeup a little more dramatic on my eyes. I've been looking at people who do the cat-eye who also use black/grey eyeshadow on the end or crease of their eye. I love the way this looks but I hope it won't come across as too gothic! Ah! I have time this week to try that out. ;) I also think it is funny that I can't leave the house without my cat-eye. I've been doing it for almost two years and I can't see myself stopping anytime soon. Some days I wish I had it tattooed on my face, LOL!!

I just got back from eating sushi with my sister! This girl right here can't get enough of dat shrimp tempura. Mmmmmm!!!
Also, I will (hopefully) get my etsy store up and running this week! Hope you guys will be interested in purchasing some awesome items! I should have some vintage clothes for sale as well as some fun little things for around the house. And coming later this summer when I have the help of my sister, a seasoned chemist (LOL), SOAP! Yay! I also just learned what OOAK means. So I might overuse it just for fun. I also like the abbreviation because it reminds me of this anime face: OAO'' Anyway...

I have my transfer orientation for my new college this week so I want to dress way cool to impress everyone, I'm sure I'll take plenty of pictures that day. I can't believe I'm a junior in college and changing my major. A little late, huh? Oh! And I'm visiting Dean this week, I'm so excited! EEEEE~

Bye!

Wow... two days in a row and I'm posting? That is a new record! Like I said previously, I'm forcing myself to post almost everyday from now on. More bad weather today, but I didn't want to sit inside and mope like I usually do so I decided to get dressed up and walk around Target. I bought a cute shirt while I was there... I need new shirts, I realized today that my whole wardrobe is just different skirts and cardigans but no SHIRTS! Weird! I'm going to fix this within the next few weeks. Here is my outfit from today! (Remember that skirt I talked about a couple posts back that I got from the Salvation Army and hemmed? I wore it today! And I love it!)

Skirt - Thrifted (Originally a floor-length skirt, but hemmed it to be short myself!)

When I got dressed today I planned on wearing my T.U.K. pin-up wedges that I got on sale for $15 from their website (BARGIN), but after putting them on I thought they were a little TOO dressed up for a walk around Target. I'll wear those shoes eventually. Sighhhhh. They are so adorable but I can never find the right outfit or public setting for them. I decided to wear my creepers instead when I went out today. Fun, but still reasonable enough so I don't look like I'm crazy.

I also got some seeds and a pot today to plant some flowers! I will probably plant them today or maybe tomorrow afternoon. They are California Orange Poppies... so beautiful! Apparently, they are really easy to grow, too. (GOOD!) I can't wait to see them fully grown!



Also, this next picture is for Emma! (My boyfriends sister) I guess I don't smile enough on my blog so here ya go! I don't intentionally NOT smile, I'm usually just alone in my room when I take my pictures and don't even think of it! Oops! I'll try to smile more! ;) Heh heh...

Have a good day!

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't posted in like a week... I've been too lazy to take pictures of my outfits. I swore to myself I would try harder though! Still no job, so I don't really have a good reason as to why I haven't been posting. I've been reading about DIY wedding tips and the beloved CWC Chris-chan most of the week, so, no, nothing going on here. No more excuses!! Anyway, here's an outfit from sometime last week that I never posted! (Mostly because the image quality SUCKS!)

Shirt - American Apparel
Skirt - Thrifted American Apparel (From consignment shop)
Belt - Urban Outfitters
Shoes - DSW "BareTraps"

And here is what I wore today! The weather this week has been really awful so I haven't really worn anything to spectacular. I wanted something comfortable for the rain, yet still fun today since I went out to eat with my mom and sister. I decided to break out the creepers! I always wear my creepers in the rain since it keeps me about two inches out of the puddles. Enough small talk, on with the pictures! OK!!

By the way, I painted my nails! I love this Revlon color I bought in a bargain bin at Target. It is called "Make Mine Melon" the consistency was a little soupy but it is okay, I love the color! I also did some awesome white polka-dots! I took the idea from one of Gem Fatale's Tuesday tips! (Click her name for a link to her AWESOME blog!) I used one of my sewing straight-pins and stuck the sharp end in a pencil eraser for support... then you just dip and stick into the nail polish! Quick, fun, easy and flawless results! (A lot of waiting around for polish to dry... your nails need to be completely dry before putting the dots on!!)

See you soon! ...I promise!

Hey ya'll!! How is everyone doing? Great, I hope! I'm doing pretty well over here back in SCRANTON! It feels so good to be back home. I have a lot of really fun things planned this summer that will hopefully happen soon! These include seeing Girl Talk with my sister, going to Wildwood NJ with Dean, the renaissance faire, possibly Otakon if our finances permit and tons of coffee, pizza and thrifting with my old high school buddies! I really can't wait. I usually have a pretty lame summer but I am determined to have a better time this year. I will miss Dean so much since he will still be living in Philly for the rest of the year, but at least he will move closer in December! I just have to wait until then! I'll visit him/he will visit me in the meantime!

I'm currently looking for a new job, today I had an interview at FYE! I also have another interview at a different FYE on Friday! (It seems that FYE is the only place that wants to hire me!) (And assuming not everyone who reads this blog is familiar, FYE is just a CD/DVD store. They also sell a lot of anime and Justine Bieber things, haha.) Hopefully someone will call me back soon! I think my interview went pretty well today. Im crossing my fingers! Anyway, here is what I wore today!

(BTW, forgive the mess that is my room at the moment. I just moved back home from school yesterday and I'm still trying to get my life back in order!)

A very 'American' look today, huh?

I also met my good friend from high school Nick for a little Salvation Army fun today! Even though it was 50% off all tickets today, I still only ended up getting two skirts since I'm REALLY low on money. Regardless they are great skirts! One needs to be hemmed, and the other just needs to be fixed up slightly which I will have plenty of time to do tomorrow. Then later in the day I went to the Shoppes at Montage with my sister! I had a gift card leftover from Christmas that my dad gave me, so I bought some really nice sandals from DSW. I wanted something comfortable, slip resistant, nothing between my toes (thongless), sturdy and of course nice looking! I'm really tired of spending money on shoes that aren't comfortable/versatile enough for everyday errands! I'm really glad I got the ones I did. They are not typically something I would go for since they are quite modest, but I think they are a great choice for the hot weather and running around doing fun stuff! I will totally post pictures of my skirts and my shoes tomorrow!

Since school is over and I'm jobless currently, I will have a lot of time to devote to this blog. Stay tuned!

By the way, I'm going to make HOMEMADE SOAP over the summer with my sister! How cool is that?! I'll keep you posted!

Do you like my Curacao shirt? Thanks, Grandma!!!! <3

Hi guys! It has been a long time since I've really posted any outfits or anything interesting. Now that classes are over and I just have to worry about a couple of critiques and a final, I have way more time to dress nice and to take pictures! Plus, the weather has been great, although my sinuses and allergies don't think so. Here is an outfit I wore Monday... It was over 80 degrees that day and I got a pretty bad sunburn on my shoulders! (Which is shaping up to be a lovely farmer's tan by now!)

May 10th I get to go back home to Scranton which means I will probably be posting outfits every couple days or so since I can set up my tripod!

I'm also planning to setting up an Etsy store this summer! I tried the Etsy thing a while ago for my artwork but I lost interest very quickly. I think I'm going to sell some DIY's, thrift finds, as well as crocheted pieces, quilts, and other cute little things I can make! I'm really over ~art~ right now and I just want to have some fun making useful stuff! I'll let you all know when I set that up!

By the way, have you checked out my twitter?
