Lately but not unusually i have been MIA. Not for any particular reason, just been busy with life i guess. So today's post is just to update you guys on whats going on with the blog and my life.
1. This blog will soon be regularly posted on. I really promise this time. I have been wanting to do more fashion post but where i live the weather is extremely bipolar. And i mean extremely like 76 degrees one day and snow the next. So for sure i will be posting at least once a week.
2. After much thought and weighing the pros versus cons i will be starting a youtube channel. Several friends and family members keep asking me to do it so i will be throwing my shyness out the window i guess. It will be a bit of everything. Fashion, beauty, cooking, and just a more personal look into my life.
3. Im currently and for what seems like forever single lol. So I have been trying to go out more and socialize so thats where some of my time has gone. Awkward?. Yes, very much so. IDK might start vlogging about that lol.
4. Everyone i know is having a baby! But closest to me is my sister who will be having a girl. Im very excited for that. So being her only sister I'm naturally the one that ended up with the responsibility of planning the baby shower. It went from 20 people to around 60 on the guest list so that has definitely taken up a lot of time.
5. Ive been trying to have more community involvement so that takes time away from blogging as well.
6. And final point! I really wanna hear from you guys regarding the blog and youtube channel. What do you think I should do?
So with that massive list of excuses i close this post. I HOPE you guys stick through this and my chaos <3

Fashion Friday: Spring Trend- Black & White
Usually we associate spring with flowers, sunshine, and bright colors. That is why this spring's timeless trend isn't as common around this time of year. It's chic, classic, edgy, and simple. It's black and white. This color combo was all over the spring/summer 2013 runways. It is also on all of the hottest fashion magazine covers. So today I'm showing you a few affordable pieces that will keep you on trend but can also be worn year after year.
Clock-wise:
-Forever21 "diamond print sweater" $19.80
-Macy's "Bar III front row legging" $49.00... currently on sale for $39.80
-Wet Seal "vertical stripe pullover" $24.50
Clock-wise:
-Forever21+ "contrast bow chiffon cami" $19.80
-Old Navy "printed twill shorts'' $25.00
-Forever21+ "distressed contrast moto jacket" $39.80
-Macy's "ING plus size tuxedo jacket" $38.99
Clock-wise:
-Forever21 "triangle stretch bracelet" $8.80
-Target "Mossimo snake crossbody handbag" $24.99
-Target "Mossimo pearlyn chunky peep toe heel'' $29.99
(love and own these shoes ♥)
TIPS:
-This trend can be rocked with pieces you may already have in your wardrobe. Do you have a black dress? Try pairing it with a white belt and shoes. You can even color block with a black shirt, white pants, and black shoes. You cant go wrong.
-If you want to update an accessory try adding a white scarf to black purse.
-If you're a bit more shy but still want to sport this trend try it on your nails. There are many black and white manicure options.
-Don't be afraid to experiment. The beauty of black and white is that you can make it as simple or complicated and still look good.
-Try adding a pop of color. My favorite thing to do is to add a bright lip color.

Glampified!: DIY Lip Palette
Hello there Glam Geeks! Today's post is a DIY I did a few months back. That I know of no one has yet to do this but I could be wrong but I don't know lol. Well the way I came about this is because I love my lipsticks but hate taking them all with me when I travel. I looked into other depotting methods but palettes were around $20 and I didn't want to spend the money. So this idea came about and worked out great! I do ask that you please read all the instructions and tips first before starting so you can avoid some of the mistakes I made. Happy Glampifying!
 |
| Supplies: Watercolor paint set, your choice of lipstick, a blade or spatula (I used a butter knife), a spoon, and fire. I already had everything so this project ended up costing me around $3. |
 |
| Step 1: Remove the tray from the case and pop out the colors. They're pretty chalky and stiff so you should be able to do it with no trouble.Clean up any residue left behind with a wet napkin. |
 |
| Step 2: Take your lipstick and cut off about 1/4 of an inch. |
 |
| Step 3: Put the lipstick onto a spoon a put a few inches above the candle. Give it a few seconds to melt... If you want you can skip this step and just press it into the watercolor slot. I prefer doing it this way because it leaves it looking neater. |
 |
| Step 4: Once it is melted slowly pour the liquefied lipstick into the slot/pan. Do NOT fill it to the rim. Leave some room for expansion. |
 |
| Step 5: Repeat step 2-4 until all the slots/pans are filled and let cool for about 5 minutes. |
 |
| That's it you're done! Now you have a customized lip palette where all the colors look great on you. Just replace the paint brush with a lip brush. In case you had an accident like I did and spill a little just clean it with a q-tip. |
TIPS:
1. Don't use your prized lipsticks for the first go around. Practice first with more affordable and readily available colors.
2. Don't let the lipstick boil. This will cause the liquid to dry harder and less creamy making it difficult to apply.
3. Do lay down a protective surface. I used a towel.
4. Do remember to be careful because you can easily be burned and scarred by the hot spoon.
5. Do clean the tools in between each shade to keep the colors true.
6. Don't be afraid to mix colors into your own custom color. Every girl wants her own customized shade so take advantage. And make sure to remember the quantities so if it becomes your signature shade you can always recreate it :-)
