OOTD #7: Christmas Day!

Hey guys! I hope you all had a great holiday season so far! Mine was very relaxed and I would not have had it any other way! :) My family has a very unique holiday tradition, we always go see a movie at the theaters and then we take Chinese food home for dinner.  I still decided to dress cute since I was going to be seen in public.

 

My makeup was very simple.  I put on my favorite mascara, Covergirl's Flamed Out, and I decided on making a statement lip with NYX matte lip cream in San Paulo.  It is one of my favorite colors from this collection and it is the one I reach for the most.

 

I am wearing my American Eagle black and white floral jeans that I wore in my Black and White OOTD, I just love them so much! My black booties are the brand Lower East Side, but any black or grey boots would look super cute with this outfit! My shirt is a simple V-neck from Tilly's, again any V-neck would look good! Lastly, my grey sweater is from Target and is super soft! I love it!

 

Since it was a little chilly outside, I paired my outfit with my green army jacket that I purchased at Old Navy.

 

 

I love this outfit, since my family does not have a huge Christmas/holiday celebration it is easy to just throw on and still look super cute!  I hope you all have a happy new year!!

Wet n Wild MegaLast Lip Color Swatches!

Hello everyone!

Today's post is going to be a little different than normal since it is not a fashion post, it is a beauty post.  I have recently purchased 7 Wet N Wild MegaLast lipsticks and I am in love!

 The colors I picked are all gorgeous and so pigmented! I have a lot of variety from bright pinks to deep reds to even a purplish color.  I purchased all 7 on amazon and each were about 3 dollars.  I picked up the colors Pinkerbell, Don't Blink Pink, Smokin' Hot Pink, Cherry Picking, Sugar Plum Fairy, Red Velvet, and Coral-ine.  I know this product is old, but I thought this might be helpful to put up since I just recently wanted to try out lipstick and I am sure others are too.  I will take pictures of each with my phone and camera to make sure I really get an accurate representation of each color, since they are all stunning!  All right, lets get to swatching!! :)

This is my natural lip color, it is naturally pretty pigmented, but all of these colors are so pigmented that it pretty much covers up the natural color of my lips.

First up is Pinkerbell

 This color is the lightest of the bunch and is super bright! It definitely is not a true pink, it has a warmer undertone but I feel like it would flatter a lot of different skin tones! It really brightens up my face and is super cute! Perfect for summer or just everyday.

 This picture to the left is the most accurate representation of the lip color :)

 

 Next, is Don't Blink Pink

This color is a bit more neon and little darker than Pinkerbell.  I was a little disappointed with this one since I thought it would be a total Barbie-looking pink, but it is definitely more of a raspberry color.  It is still gorgeous but I was really looking for a bright neon pink and this just isn't it.  Like Pinkerbell, it is a warmer-toned pink that would flatter almost every skin tone.

This picture to the right is a pretty accurate representation of this color. 

Next, is Smokin' Hot Pink,

 

 This is probably my favorite color of the whole bunch! When I first put this color on, I fell in love! It just feels like my color, like it was made for me.  It is a gorgeous raspberry color that is very similar to Don't Blink Pink on my lips.  I think this color really brings out my blue eyes and again, this color would look good on any skin tone. 

So gorgeous! This color is more on the warmer side than Don't Blink Pink yet it still brightens up my face, it is just a stunning shade.

 

Next is Cherry Picking!

 

This was the color that I was looking forward to the most since I've heard it was a dupe for Revlon's Cherries in the Snow and on amazon Revlon's was about 13 dollars and I was not going to pay that much for a lipstick.  I refuse.  I was definitely not disappointed in this lipstick!  It is gorgeous bright raspberry color that definitely makes a statement. :)  Like Smokin' Hot Pink, this color enhances the blue in my eyes. 

This color is similar to Smokin' Hot Pink but it is more blue-toned which makes your teeth look way white!  This color could definitely be for a vampy look since it is slightly

 

 

darker than some of the other pinks.  Overall, this color could definitely replace a bright red lip since it has that timeless classic look to it that makes it absolutely perfect.

 

Next, is Sugar Plum Fairy, which is definitely the most unique color of them all.

 

 

 This color is stunning! It is a plum-y, raspberry color is that is perfect for the fall.  This is definitely a vampy color that I think anyone can pull off since it is not too dark.  If you are looking at dark lipsticks but you are afraid of trying the purple lip look, try this color! It is a mix of pink and purple and it is so pretty!

I don't think this color is similar to any other color in this collection and is just breathtaking shade.  I could see me wearing this on a daily basis since I love wearing bold lips and this color definitely deserves a spot in my everyday makeup looks :) Just look at this color! So stunning!

 

Next, is a red shade called Red Velvet :) 

Okay, I'm going to be honest... I bought this shade because I am in love with red velvet cake.  Plus, I wanted a red lipstick that I thought would look good on my skin tone. 

I definitely think that this color is my color of red! It is so brightening and it doesn't make my teeth look yellow! I have worn this out in public and it was definitely an Immediate confidence booster. 

I would recommend any one wanting to find their perfect blue-toned red lipstick to try this baby.  It is so perfect and it definitely stays a long time since it turns into a stain that is so comfortable on your lips. 

 

 

Last but not least, Coral-ine.

 

When I ordered this color, I was expecting a light coral almost peach color.  That is not what this is, at all.  This color is definitely more red with just a tint of orange.  It is an amazing color.  I wore it yesterday when I was taking pictures for school.  I felt hot wearing it.  It is so bright and it looks good on me! I didn't think orange colors would flatter me, but I was pleasantly surprised.  Maybe I have a neutral skin tone, I don't know but, I love it! I thought it was more red than Red Velvet at first but, comparing the two photos, Coral-ine is a lighter and does look a little more coral.  I do not think the name really fits this shade though since it seems like a red rather than coral, but nonetheless it's gorgeous.

Alright, those are the 7 breathtaking shades that I own.  I hope these swatches helped you find out which shades to purchase.  If you have any questions or suggestions please leave a comment below.  Thank you so much for checking out my blog and I will post again soon with a fashion post!

OOTD #6: Army Jacket

Hello everyone! I have a quick outfit to show you.  It was a bit chilly so I decided to wear my new green army jacket and my outfit ended up looking so cute!

I purchased my green jacket from Old Navy for 40 dollars and I love it! I got it in a size Large so it was a little baggy on me and also so I could put more layers underneath as it gets colder.  My white long sleeve is the same as the black one I wore in my black and white outfit which I purchased at Kohl's for about ten dollars.  My black skinny jeggings I bought at Wet Seal for twenty dollars and they are so comfy and thick! They are even warmer than regular jeans, Love! My boots I have mentioned as well.  They are the brand Breckelle's and they are my favorite boots ever!  Finally, my necklace is from Rue 21 and was about eight dollars.  I also think that a gold chain necklace would look awesome with this outfit as well!

 

Thank you so much again for checking out my blog and I am sorry that there is only one picture.  I quickly took this before class and forgot to take a few more later on! Please forgive me and come back soon to check for more blog posts! As always, please comment if you like my blog or if you have any suggestions, I am open to anything! ♥Maddie

OOTD #5: School Spirit!

I am so bad at this blogging thing... I don't think I have posted a new blog on time yet and I am so sorry.  I promise that I will do better!  On the bright side, I have just reached 100 page views! That is amazing!! Thank you so much, it brings a huge smile to my face to see the number rising! :)  Alright, now time for the fashion.  Today I wanted to wear shorts since I don't know when the weather will start cooling off and I want to take advantage of this hot weather! Also, I now have my nice camera so the pictures will be even better! Yay! :)

 Alright, so my outfit was super simple today, but I thought it may give some people inspiration on how to wear high-waisted shorts and also look cute while sporting their school colors.  So the shirt is from the LAX bookstore, but I am sure you can find similar shirts in stores.  I have pictured these shorts before, they are my Almost Famous high-waisted shorts that I wore in my first OOTD post.  They are honestly the comfiest shorts ever!  Lastly, my sandals are from Target and are by the brand Sam & Libby.  I bought them last year but you can find brown gladiator sandals anywhere if you want a similar pair!

 I kept my makeup very simple today since I thought my eyes really popped today and that I really didn't need anything else to complete my outfit.  Comfy and simple, but definitely not boring or ordinary!

Thank you all for checking out my blog, I really do appreciate it and please leave comments if you have something you want to ask/tell me.  I will definitely answer all of them ASAP! ♥Maddie

OOTD #4: Black and White Floral

Hello lovelies! I feel really bad for making you wait so long for my 3rd OOTD so I decided to post even more! Yesterday I wore one of my go-to outfits that is super simple to recreate and is kind of edgy and girly at the same time.  I'm sorry that there is only one picture, I took these late at night and I just wanted to go to bed so I quickly snapped a few.  The shirt I am wearing is by the brand So and I love it so much! It is long enough to cover my butt without being like a dress! It also comes in a bunch of different colors.  I bought it at Kohls for 15 dollars along with a white one and a lavender.  The necklace I am wearing is from Maurice's, and was 15 dollars which I know is a bit pricey but I have seen necklaces similar to this at Wet Seal and Rue 21 before so there are less expensive options.  The jeans are from American Eagle and are my absolute favorite jeans that I own! I love how they are an off-white so you can wear so many different colors with them and It won't look "too bright".  I think they are perfect for any season and were 30 dollars I believe.  Now, the boots.  These boots are my baby! I love them so so much! I purchased these off of amazon and are the brand Breckelle.  You can buy them here http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FEL4GL4/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1 .  I wear them all the time and they are so comfortable and just so cute! I will warn you that when you walk the buckles and the metal "beads" jingle when you walk, so you will definitely turn heads ;).  Love it!

 Thank you for checking out my blog! Please continue to check back because I have a lot more outfit ideas to post! Please comment, I want to hear from you! ♥Maddie

OOTD #3: Yellow Skinny Jeans

Hey everyone! I am so sorry for not posting sooner but I got a little caught up in my mound of homework.  Today I wore an outfit that was very relaxed but still cute. I think this is an outfit that anyone can recreate and is great for those warmer days when you do not feel like wearing shorts. 

 My headband is from Charlotte Russe and is so summery and bright! I almost was afraid to buy it since I didn't know if I could pull it off, but I am so glad I did! It really brightens up any outfit and is a great accessory for spring and summer! The shirt I am wearing is by Mudd and it has an open back and is so airy and pretty.  I wish I took a picture of it! Oops! Well here is a picture of it online.  I wore a white bandeau underneath mine.
My pastel yellow skinny jeans are from American Eagle and are becoming one of my favorite pairs of jeans.  At first, when my mom bought them for me I was a little unsure about them.  I did not know what to wear with them and so they sat at the back of my closet.  Now they are definitely worn a lot! I love wearing them in the summer but I am trying to think of ways to incorporate them into my fall and winter wardrobes as well, let me know if you have any ideas! :)

Lastly, the shoes.  Sorry I was barefoot in my picture. I ended up wearing my slip-on Converse which are on the left but, you could also pair this outfit with sandals or Toms (shown on the right).  Any shoes would work with it so get creative! :)

Thank you for checking out my blog and I promise I will start posting more often! Please comment and I will definitely comment back ASAP! ♥Maddie

OOTD #2

Hello again my friends! I decided to post another outfit this week because it was too cute not to share! It is pretty easy to duplicate or make your own and is great for the spring or even those cooler summer days.  I usually do not wear tank tops, but this one is definitely an exception.  It is so flowy and flattering on my body and can be worn casual or dressy.  I ordered this tank top off of Amazon and it is the brand Full Tilt.  The skinny jeans that I am in love with are from American Eagle and were super cheap because of an amazing sale!  If you are not comfortable with patterned skinny jeans, no problem! You can definitely switch out the patterned ones for a solid denim pair or leggings.  Remember I am only posting outfit ideas, make it your own.  My necklace was super cheap at Rue 21 and I needed to snatch it.  It was just so chunky and gold.  I love it!!  Last but definitely not least are my black sandals.  I got them at Target and are by the brand Sam & Libby.  They are comfortable but when wearing for a long time they may give you blisters, ouch!  Overall, I think this is a great outfit to wear for anybody who wants to be a little daring and will look great on so many different body types.  For me personally it makes me feel so confident and girly with a hint of edgy.  So perfect! :)  Thank you for checking out my blog and comment about anything you want, I will always respond as soon as I can.

OOTD #1

Hi everybody! Today a took a walk around the city and wanted a comfy outfit to wear but still look cute.  I have been wearing sports shorts and t-shirts this whole week so I wanted to change it up a bit.  This outfit is so simple yet super cute and comfy.  I love this shirt, it is a denim shirt with white flowers on it.  The brand is Passport and I got it at T.J. Maxx for only ten dollars!! The white shorts I got from Gordmans and are by Almost Famous.  They are so comfy and stretchy, oh and they are high waisted with sailor buttons! How cute!! My shoes are Toms and I got them for a gift from my boyfriend.  I love them! They are so bright and yet so comfortable to walk in!  Perfect outfit if you have to walk a lot, LOVE!
