Currently Loving: My favorite bracelet

This is just a quick little post i felt like writing..Recently, I have been wearing a certain bracelet every single day. I really love it a lot, especially because it means something special to me.

My mom bought this for me after she saw me eyeing it in a little boutique. We know the designer of it, so that just made me want it even more! I saw my mom sneak away with it, and i think she might of thought i didn't see her. hehehe. 

Well, long behold i found it in my Easter basket :) i was so excited. but enough of that, I want to tell you what it means. This bracelet was made from Lapis, turquoise, clay beads, and swarovski crystal. It's called "Lord of Success" and it was also blessed. It protects, removes obstacles, gives knowledge, wisdom, and wealth. The elephant is a symbol of courage, strength, luck and longevity. The Lapis is protection and psychic awareness. 

To tell you the truth, I feel stronger when I wear this. It calms me and gives me a good feeling. So, that's why I've been wearing it! It's a little different than what I would usually wear or pick out, but after looking at it, I do think it's beautiful.

Do you have any interesting jewelry items?

Desk Inspiration

Recently, I have been staring at my desk space. As much as I love my antique vanity, it's not really working for me. So far, I cleared everything off the "desk" part of it and now I'm stumped. I bought a few candles from bath and body works and set them on top, but otherwise that's it, along with another antique lamp. So here are a couple of my favorite office spaces that have been inspiring me!

                     
                   I love this desk. The gold and white is so simple and so feminine.

Ahhh! The rose gold phone and the magenta flowers!! I. need. this.

Now how can you not love working here? The lanterns with the gold leaves against the natural light gives it a cozy warm effect. I would be so inspired in this workspace.

Okay. My favorite setup of all. This is what I need my inspiration board needs to look like! Messily organized and crazy chic. And again, I love the white in the background.

What is your favorite desk inspiration?

Sweater Weather

Yayyy! It's my favorite time of year again...FALL! How many of you absolutely LOVE Fall and everything that has to do with it? Because I know I do. I already bought two new candles from Bath & Body Works. YUM. And I've put little glass pumpkins on my desk and dresser. Yes I'm addicted. But here is another amazing part of fall: the sweaters!! 

 Adorable, chic, and perfect for the season. The touch of animal print is genius!

Love the preppy feel with this sweater. It's a perfect look when you're on the go! Adding a bright lip in a hurry makes it look like you had a ton of time to get ready. Sneaky!!

Ahh, my favorite color: White!! I love the way this has little peep-holes throughout it. Having the dark oxblood colored nails and black bag totally scream fall (or winter!). You could either add a large statement necklace or a little dainty one. I would even wrap an infinity scarf around my neck!

Eeep! This is my favorite look. Adding a hat with this oversized sweater is so cozy looking. I would love to rock this at the beach or at a bonfire in my backyard late at night.


What are your favorite looks?

P.S. Sorry for my lack of posts. I have been trying to get a job, but I will be posting regularly now!

Drugstore Madness!

Okay, so a few days ago, I was in the kinda mood where I needed more makeup and I didn't care that I was going to spend money (I'm sure you know what that feels like). So I hopped on my bike and rode down to the marketplace a little over a mile from my house. There is a Walgreens there so thats where I was headed! Keep in mind, when I got on my bike it was hot and sunny outside.

So when I was in the store, I picked up a few goodies! Okay get ready. I picked up 5 lipsticks, 2 lip balms, four eyeshadow quads, a L'oreal mascara and a day/night cream. Yes I did some damage! 

So far the lipsticks are amazing. I got four of them from the Maybelline Vivids collection: Vivid Rose, On Fire Red, Shocking Coral and Coral Crush. Let me just collect myself!!! Okay the pigmentation on these babies is absolutely amazing. And they are so soft to your lips!! Honestly I'm obsessed. Anyone else?! I also got a L'oreal in I Pink You're Cute. Such a cute name right? And the color, OH MY GOD, is a bright bubble gum pink almost, and its a perfect summer staple. But the color I'm going to be rocking for fall is definitely On Fire Red.

Okay and then of course I couldn't leave without getting two BabyLips!! I got one in Cherry Me and the other in Peach Kiss. SO SOFT. I'm addicted.

For the eyeshadows, I picked them all out from Maybelline Eyestudio. My absolute favorite and staple for fall is the new limited edition Violet Femmes. The deep rich purples are sooooo pretty and if you spray your eyeshadow brush with a bit of water or setting spray before you apply the shadow, it will come out so much more pigmented and even shimmer a bit! And then I also picked up the Green with Envy quad and Give me Gold quad, which is also a great summer to fall transition!

So after I checked out, (feeling a bit lighter in my wallet!) I walked out the doors and stopped in my tracks. IT WAS POURING RAIN AND THE CLOUDS WERE BLACK. I COULDN'T EVEN SPOT THE SUN! I literally started laughing because I was stuck under the little overhang for 30 minutes! I couldn't get on my bike and drive more than a mile home! Although I did get a little wet, I made it home just in time! When I got to my room, I lit some candles and put on my twinkling lights around my mirror :) So cozy!! And then I stared at all the cosmetics I poured onto the floor. Hashtag the life of Maddie. LOL.

So that's what happened to me a few days ago! What crazy stories do you have to share with me!? Leave them in the comments below!

Makeup Junkie

So I've recently found my passion...

I'm a MAKEUP JUNKIE!! I can't be the only one right??

As you guys know, I'm a little over 16 years old. I'm one of those kids who has a little pint-sized idea about what they want to do when they grow up. Well, now that I'm homeschooled I've had a lot of time to myself. I've been able to really think about the things that I love and have passion for. It all came to me!! Makeup, fashion, beauty, and of course BLOGGING! :) 
I've never had a job but I was recently shopping at the outdoor fashion center like 7 miles from my house, and I stopped in my tracks. SEPHORA. Why didn't I think of it before? Who knows what I was thinking but I know where I'm applying for a job! On the door, it read something like, "Is this your dream job? No matter your age, see the manager for details." I about DIED. I told my mom and she's down for it too. So I'm, like, reallllly super excited to show them what I've got. I can't wait to start collecting makeup. 
I'm just really happy and relieved I found something that I truly have passion over...yeah I'm kind of obsessing over it... ;) Do any of my readers collect makeup!? Leave tips for me in the comments below!
