Fall-ing For You

Tomorrow is Sept 1st and fall is almost here! A couple pieces I'd like to add to my wardrobe for fall/winter:

jean vest


opaque tights


leather jacket


combat boots


statement necklaces!


I can't wait for fall to start! It's my favorite season to dress for!

Va Va Voom!

Remember when I said I was looking for a dark purple lipstick? (Of course you do! It was just the other day!) Well that night I went to Walmart and found it! I just want to go around kissing unsuspecting strangers and brand them with my lip print!

Took a mini photo shoot because I'm SO in love with this dark purple! It's gorgeous!

The First Time

Okay so today I decided to do my outfit of the day in video form. It's my first time posting a video of myself on the internet *Erykah Badu voice* so y'all be nice about it.

Also, the lighting sucks, I know. 

Don't know why it posted twice. Just mind ya bidness.

Oh I Wish

These are a few items I've been wanting to add to my makeup bag/closet for some time now but I either can't find the perfect one or my bank account won't let me be great.

Never Give Up On The Good Times

I felt effortlessly beautiful today. Every girl could use days like this!

• blank tank - Rave
• leopard cardigan - Walmart
• gray skirt w/ pockets - Rave
• black flats - Walmart
• pearl earrings - Forever 21

On a another note, I experienced my first earthquake today! It lasted only a few seconds but it was scary! I was confused at first because I thought someone was behind me shaking my chair lightly then when realized no one was there I felt it get stronger and heard my coworkers ask if anyone else could feel the ground moving. Needless to say, I packed up my stuff and prepared to dive underneath a table but it stopped as quickly as it started! I was shaking for a good 1/2 hour afterwards and some cellphones weren't working for a few hours after the quake. I hope we don't get anymore! The east coast can't handle it!!

Anyway, have a happy Tuesday!

How awesome is this mix? I love it 10x better than the original!

Diary Of A Foolish Girl

I went a long time without looking at his page to see what he had to say. A long time not worrying about if he was sorry or if he thought about me like I think about him. A long time not stressing about if today was the day I'd finally hear from him. A long time just taking it one day at a time.

Then I had a setback.

After hearing about one of his friends passing I caught myself feeling sympathetic. After losing someone close to me for the first time this year, I now know what it feels like so I fought with myself on whether or not I should reach out to him because, ultimately, I'm still very hurt by how he has treated me. I decided to go against my better judgement and message him on Facebook, knowing full well he wouldn't say anything back. Why would he after all this time?

He surprised me. He messaged me back on the same day. Now I kind of wish I hadn't said anything because I feel like I deserved more than what he said back to me. I just want to know that he's sorry. But what if he's not? That would make things worse. I feel like I'm back at square one.

I just don't want to feel like this anymore.

Like a stupid, foolish, lonely girl.

Mamma Mia!

What's For Dinner: Shrimp Pasta!

So the other day I thought up something delicious: shrimp pasta with vodka sauce and cut up veggies. I've never had anything like that before and I thought it would be great to try. It turned out so yummy! I used boxed shrimp scampi (enh) because we didn't have any plain shrimp leftover in the house but it turned out great anyway!

What you'll need:

• shrimp
• spaghetti
• cucumbers
• mushrooms
• tomatoes
• vodka sauce

Cut up the veggies and rinse (as usual!)


Boil the pasta and cook the shrimp


Throw the veggies on the stove


Add in the shrimp and vodka sauce and season with garlic powder and pepper.


Enjoy!!

In The Mood

Me and Jillian went out for drinks and wings Friday night. I was in a particularly bad mood all day that day so I took it upon myself to dress a little nicer than usual and put a little makeup on. I hate being in a crummy mood!







A little blurry, enh.

Nothing In My Way

A couple of pictures from my trip to the beach a few weeks back.

I've been struggling more and more with my weight but that day I just let go of any inhibitions I had and enjoyed a beautiful, relaxing day on the sand, soaking up the sun with friends.

I also just wanted to let you guys bask in my chocolaty thickness, haha.



Yup, that's my hermana back there.

Have a wonderful evening!
