Paris Street Style

Okay, I have been stuck to my computer for hours and hours. I feel guilty. But I have come across so many inspiring pictures I just can't pull away from my screen. Paris Fashion Week is my favorite week because of the street style. Everyone looks amazziiinngg in anything. Here are some of my favorite pics!

Mixing prints like a pro! And it looks flawless.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate this outfit? That jacket needs to appear in my closet..and those pants!!

All three of these outfits are ready-to-wear ensembles that look chic and effortless!

What is your favorite Street Style pic?

Real Girl Beauty: Backstage at Lavin

Model Jamie Bochert wore this beautifully crafted Lavin T-shirt openly and effortlessly for the runway show later that day. This picture was taken backstage as she touched up her makeup and did last minute touches to the final look. She looks simply dreamy! For her makeup, she wanted to look like she had applied nothing, which is what she accomplished! She swiped a slight contour under her cheekbones and some slight blush, to make her appear flush and natural. It was unusually warm in Paris! Lastly, she added a light taupe in the crease of her eye, just to add some definition. She left her lips natural and bare, which I think makes the whole look. I think Jamie looks gorgeous, what do you think? Would you change anything about the look?

Getting Inspirational

Happy Wednesday everyone :-) How is your week going so far? Today I finished up my last couple of tests for my school classes ( I take lessons online, loving it!) and so now I'm on my Fall break until October 7th. Nice little time off huh? So in the spare time that I have, I wanted to create some inspiration boards, because let me just say it, they really do inspire me. When I look at pictures, my mind starts racing, and thats when I'm able to really create things! Here are a few pictures of inspiration boards I thought looked SO cool:

I love the look of having multiple boards with different themes to each. Definitely going to try this in my room!

Okay, this one is a little crazy, but I LOVE it. The variety of colors and textures just screams at me.

I want this so badly!! How awesome would it be to have chalk board drawings around an inspiration board? I want to try and convince my mom to let me paint just one wall in my bedroom...but that isn't turning out very well!! 

Not only do I love the tiny frames around some of the pictures, but I also love that this is behind a computer, so when you're doing work, you become inspired! That is initially where I am going to set up my inspiration "area". I spend most of my time in my room at my antique desk doing school work or reading your lovely blogs, so that's where I intend to hang my pictures :)

I hope all of you are inspired and you create your own inspiration boards too!

Have a wonderful day :-)

Wish List

Happy Tuesday morning everyone! :) I hope everyone had a great weekend. Lately, I've been thinking a lot about different products that everyone is raving about. I thought, hmmmmm I need these products in my life!! Hahaha. So I put together a little list of must-have products that I really really need. (Yes I need them!!)

Can you believe it? I don't have these fantastic palettes...yet! Ever since joining YouTube and seeing how many different looks can be created with these bad boys, I haven't stopped thinking about them. I recently went into Sephora and gazed at them, literally for 10 minutes. But, being the money saver I am, I wasn't about to go spend $100 on two makeup palettes. So, I put them on my wish list :)

Ahh look at all these pretty colors!! Have any of you ever tried NYX products before? Everyone is talking about these butter glosses, and I must say I am dying to try them. I bought the NYX Natural Eyeshadow Palette and absolutely love it. It makes your makeup look so, well, natural and effortless! You should definitely try it. 

Yes, the beloved HOOLA bronzer! I tested this on my cheeks at Sephora, and I was so surprised. Even though it doesn't look dark in the pot, it makes you glow! This is a perfect product for the colder months, where everyone seems to loose all their color they worked so hard to achieve over Summer!

These brushes are not getting the attention they deserve. If any of you haven't heard of them, they are called Sigma brushes, and THEY ARE THE HOLY GRAIL OF BRUSHES. YouTube beauty gurus such as Jaclyn Hill and Nicole Guerriero rave about these brushes. I am yet to get my hands on them, but after the reviews they have gotten, I cannot wait to use them. People are getting rid of their MAC brushes and completely replacing them with these! Shown above is the Premium Kit. It comes with 15 brushes, and get this, it's only $164!! That's like less than $10 a brush! And you can also get their brushes separately for outstanding prices. I still don't understand why they haven't really gotten the attention they deserve!

Well, this is my little wish list for Fall, haha! What are some of the items you're looking to receive?

Have a great day :)

Sweet Scarves

It's finally here! Today is the first day of Fall, and while many of you get to wear comfy sweaters and chunky boots, I am still stuck in the very hot summer sun (I live in the dry, but beautiful, desert of Arizona)! But that doesn't mean I can't start gathering my Fall accessories! One of my favorite pieces of clothing to add to a Fall outfit is an infinity scarf. YES! I just love them. And I think they are the easiest scarves to wear! Below are some of my favorites:

This grey knit infinity scarf is massive, but it will keep you nice and warm! And it's a great neutral to pair with darker colors, like Jessica did.

Okay this is definitely a favorite. I LOVE the warm palette on this outfit, and the matching red hair is so gorgeous. And the thing I love most about this look is the necklace that she wore! Most people think if you wear a scarf, you can't wear a necklace. But it's the total opposite. It adds that extra feminine touch :)

LOOK AT THIS SCARF! I cannot contain my excitement when it comes to fur! But the great thing about this scarf in particular is it's all faux! So you're helping the planet while looking fabulous :)


Scarves are one of my favorite accessories for Fall. What are you favorite pieces? Enjoy your first day of Fall!
