Or how about Atlantic Pacific’s take on the elegant black and white striped dress paired with perfect pearls? A bright pink shoe adds the perfect touch to any New Years Eve outfit!

Make Up Ideas

Too Faced is having an End of the year sale and their Glamour to Go Spun Sugar Edition palette *Originally $22* is on sale for only $9.90. If you’re interested, click here. The palette contains 8 highly pigmented shadows, A bronzer, Lipgloss, and a blush. The best part is the variety is endless, one can create a smoky eye or a basic natural eye with a hint of sparkle. Like I mentioned in Part One, New Years Eve is all about the glitter! What are some of your favorite New Years Eve projects, outfits, and make up inspirations? Comment below!

Cheers to a classy and cheerful night filled with champagne, photo props, and hopefully wonderful memories. It is hard to believe the next time we chat, it will be the year 2014! Well, bring on the new year and my new blog will be announced soon, GET EXCITED!

Happy Early New Year Blog Family!

Kate Spade inspired

Are there certain things from the website Etsy that you just cannot live without? Well, here is something that I HAD to buy, no exceptions or excuses.

I love love love this print-

“She serves champagne with pizza and eats takeout on china" –Kate Spade

Is it not the cutest saying you have ever heard? Not to mention the print itself is beautiful and definitely Kate Spade inspired with the black and white stripes, pale pink, and gold border.

I cannot wait to frame and hang this in my home-office/school work space to add the girly yet sophisticated vibe that I have been searching so long for. I will post an updated picture of how everything looks together once it is complete.

To purchase this adorable print, click here or search Craft and Candor on www.etsy.com.

You will not regret it!

Also, her packaging is so cute; I love the fox stamp with her shop name on it.

Have a spectacular Tuesday, friends!

OOTD: Skulls and Full Throttle

I know Outfit of the day posts are a favorite among many so here is another for this fantastic Friday! Okay, I just sounded like an elementary school teacher trying to pump up her students for “fantastic friday!”

Oh, and have I mentioned how obsessed I have been with the energy drink Full Throttle? If not, here is a picture to prove it. One of those cans goes with me everywhere (no joke), but only the Citrus flavor ones! I encourage you to pick one up if you see it in the store or I get mine from Wal-Mart in the 4 pack. Full Throttle tastes way better than Red Bull or any other energy drink I have tried thus far.

At any rate, here is WIW (what I’m wearing) today!

Pants: Target

Shirt: Sin Clothing on Etsy

Oversized shirt: h&m - (One of my favorite shirts, ever)

I hope y’all have a good weekend, see ya on Mention Monday!

Mention Monday

I would like to take the time to mention a couple items I found whilst online shopping. One from Etsy and the other from Amazon.

First, I was casually searching for other items on Amazon and came across this cardigan from Heavenly Couture. I have purchased hundreds of things off Amazon but never clothes. I will say I am not the least bit disappointed. The lace detailing is so pretty and the cardigan is soft to the touch. Unfortunately, I purchased the last cardigan but Heavenly Couture’s storefront is linked above.

How I styled this cardigan:

I know you are wondering where I got the adorable tank top featured under the cardigan…one word: ETSY. I basically live on Etsy. I just hit 25,000 followers on there and consider myself an avid etsy shopper. I was browsing one day and found this gem of a tank top from the seller sin clothing. Despite the fact this item came from overseas, it got here considerably quick. The material is extremely soft and it fits more like a tunic; which is what I wanted. I paired the tank top with jeans and the cardigan mentioned above but I am eager to wear the top with leggings for colder weather. It is the perfect length for them and is the grungy style I like to pair with combat boots. This specific item is also unavailable from the seller but a similar one is linked here

Here is a better look at the tank top/tunic:

Notice the arm holes are larger (because I bought a M) but they are perfect for pairing this top with a colorful or lacy bandeau bra to add more edginess. 

I hope you enjoyed this ‘Mention Monday’ post and are having a lovely day so far

OOTD: Aztec Ash

Today was a casual yet warm Summer day and this is what I wore. At the beginning of the day, I ventured to lunch with one of my old friends; damn I love talks that stir up great & old times. Anyways, after that I decided to head to Target to check out the pillows to see if they had some to match the coverlet I finally picked out. Target was a fail and I only ended up buying ibuprofen and eos lip balm. Lolz. However, I did find a 75 dollar umbrella for the porch I don't have but am still searching for with the perfect house attached to it :) Finally, to wrap up my day I stopped by goodwill and picked up a fabulous pair of Vintage Levi's and cut them into these shorts...what do you think? I also attached the studs, found on Etsy, with the stud attached thing from Wal-Mart. Ha. No but really, I love them. I hope your Sunday was laid back and simple because that's its purpose. We have another wonderful week ahead of us, what are you eyeing in stores this Summer? What DIY projects or tutorials are you cooking up? Don't be shy, say hi!

Thanks so much for reading,
