How I Style: Leather Skirt

Hello loves, I hope you all had a fabulous week. If not, I hope this video can brighten your day just a bit. I had so much fun styling my leather skirt, which you girls have seen here and here. This time around I wanted to show you guys three different outfits with the same skirt. I love transforimg something I've worn a lot into something new by just adding a colored cardigan or heels. (You can tell the last outfit is my favorite hehe). Since leather anything is in this fall I wanted to get this video out there for anyone who owns a leather skirt. You can also switch out the skirt for leather pants/shorts. I absolutely love this trend as it can be worn so many different ways. Plus, leather is very edgy and chic all at once. My skirt is very full and flared. I would like to find a leather skirt that's just a bit less poofy.
Please let me know which outfit is your favorite and if you like these kinds of videos.

Fall Nail Polishes

Hello lovelies, Today I'm bringing to you a very popular topic. That is the topic of the new fall collection! Fall hasn't "officially" started just yet but I want you lovelies to be prepared. I bring to you in this post one of my all time favorite nail polish brands: Essie. You all know that every Monday I post about what color I'm wearing that week. Today I will be giving you guys a heads up on what I think will be really in this fall and the colors I love. So I will be showing you guys the fall collections of Essie but I will also be showing you guys what colors I love for fall! Let me know what colors you'll be sporting this season! I know that some countries don't have this brand available but I will link down below other nail polish brands that are just as beautiful. Please let me know what country you live in and what nail polish brand is your favorite!! 





These six new fall colors are already available on the essie store site! My favorite would have to be The Lace is on and Twin Sweater Set. Maybe cause I love color and prefer it over silver/grays. But all of these are extremely festive! I love that happy spirit and can't wait to buy The Lace is on!

But there are a few colors I believe should have been in the collection. (What's up with all the silver and gray? Do we seriously need 3 shades of gray?) I think the essie color pickers, or what ever they're called, should have gone for a deep plum like Casino Royale by OPI. I also think they should have come up with a new deep, oxblood red like their previous collection, Wicked by essie. OPI also has this gorgeous dark red with orange/red sparkles in it, Every Month is Oktoberfest, and by the Kardashian collection, Nicole, there is the gorgeous reddish shade with sparkles as well called Shoot for the Maroon. Absolutely love these colors! Check them out and buy them from the links below. 


Maybe they will be saving these colors for the winter collection so I will keep my eyes peeled for that. For now I will enjoy these bright, festive colors!

Stay tuned for my fall trends post coming out next week!

NOTW: The Thrill of Brazil

Hello loves, it's Monday and I'm here to show you girls what I've got on my nails.
I wanted to go for a bright red just because it's the beginning of September and I still have a long way to go till fall officially starts. I want to try and space out my fall nail colors because a lot of the ones I have are more appropriate for late fall and winter. (I'm pretty OCD about it). So this week I went with a beautiful bright red which is called The Thrill of Brazil from OPI. You girls know I'm not the biggest fan of OPI but I will tred on just because the color is gorgeous. 
I think next week I'll go for something equally bright or maybe even a little darker. I don't know, I haven't decided. I'm not one of those people who has their outfits/nails planned out for the rest of the week. I'm the kind of girl that just wears what ever feels good at that moment. That's how I like to live, in the moment. Okay my loves, I'm off to school and dreading it. I believe the weekend is far too short and the week is far too long. But, I hope you guys will have a great Monday and a great week!
I think I'm going to start posting again on Wednesdays, like I use to. I took a little break because I had to recharge my creative juices. But now I think I have enough post ideas to write about. Oh, by the way, a huge surprise will be coming out either this week or next so please stay tuned!

OOTD: August 9, 2013

Hello girls, okay I know the title says August 9 and we're in September but I kinda got mixed up last week and thought my BTS School Bag outfit was before my BTS Clothing Haul outfit. Sorry for the mix up! Well for that video I wore one of my favorite floral dresses with a bright yellow cardigan. I love this bright cardigan cause it brings life into darker outfits. I wore a gold sparrow/swallow bird necklace and a tiny pyramid ring. This is such a simple outfit to put on (which I love cause I'm pretty lazy most days lol). I hope you girls like it and I know summer's over but this was the last summer outfit so I wanted to show you guys!

What I Wore:
Dress: Marshalls
Cardigan: Nordstrom Rack
Shoes: Forever 21
Jewelry: Forever 21



Let me know what kind of videos you guys would like to see!!
I'm thinking of changing up my usual routine so any suggestions will be a tremendous help!

NOTW: Bikini So Teeny

Hello my lovely fashionistas! It's Manicure Monday and I've got new nails for you. 
Now, you're gonna see a big change! My claws are gone and I am so sad about it. But what happened was I broke one of my nails and couldn't deal with one of my nails being super short. Plus the nail polish was chipping so badly I had to take it off and do my nails again. I guess that's why people get acrylics but can't stand that on my nails.
Any who, this muted blue color is so pretty for the last week of summer. (Though technically isn't September fall already? I have no idea). This pale, gray/blue is called Bikini so Teeny by Essie. 
I love Essie because most of there colors don't chip at all. Like this one! I've had it on for a few days and nothing yet! But, since fall is here upon us I will be changing my colors and going for some darker shades. Would you girls like me to do a Fall Nail Polish post?? Let me know in the comments below!
