Pretty Little Liar Tuesday and How to Dress Like A Boss!

So. Another good episode tonight. While I was watching, I was indulging in some yummy mint chocolate chip ice cream from my freezer. Which has been my newest obsession.

Today's blog post I decided will focus on fashion! Woo!

This beautiful, maroon/oxblood (whatever you would like to call it) peplum dress sported by Hanna in this week's episode is quite similar to the maroon peplum dress I bought from H&M earlier this month for $20 on sale! So if you'd like to snag it yourself, check your local H&M store. The blog post the dress was featured in can be found here

Now, if you'd direct your attention to Emily's beautiful half Filipino and half Irish/Scottish hands. She is wearing nail polish similar to the shade I bought a couple weeks ago called Don't Talk Bach To Me by OPI from the Germany collection. If you would like to take a look at that blog post, you can click here

Although, Aria is my favorite of the four... the style I can identify with the most has to be Spencer. In the photo above this one she's not really in focus but I love her blazer and bun. If you're feeling like a boss and you want to sort of up your look for the day do these two things:

  1. Throw on a well tailored and nicely fitted blazer. It can go on top of anything you'd like. Tank top, plain white t-shirt, a man tailored shirt or even your favorite grungy band tee. You can either cuff the the sleeves or add a statement necklace like Spencer did in the photo. But either way, you already look ten times more put together.
  2. Bun. I've said it before, but I'll say it again. A bun can immediately show off your jaw line, collarbones, and your entire face in general. Along with the blazer, you will look fit and ready to tackle the world. All you're missing it a boss attitude.
With blazers, you can easily change it up and go for a classical tweed style like how Spencer did in the photo with Emily. You can layer a blazer like that on top of a chiffon top or something soft to play up the rough texture of the blazer. Although in the show, Spencer can seem a little edgy and a little strong willed. But her style is on point. Blazer and a bun will make a boss's outfit daily.

Happy Birthday Dad!

Spent my day with Mark today after staying up until 2am last night! So much for sleeping early.. Went out to get some more mint chocolate chip ice cream even though it's winter and picked up some new polishes from the OPI Germany collection that I've been wanting at Ulta! The green one is called Don't Talk Bach To Me and the redish/purplish one is called Every Month Is Oktoberfest. I can't wait to try oktoberfest because it was recommended by a beauty guru on YouTube.

I've been wanting to maintain connections with my cousins that I only see a couple times a year. Today a trending tag on Twitter was cut for bieber. One of my cousins is what you'd categorize a Belieber and a Directioner. Even though I know she's not the type to fall for that super, super fan crazy antics but I had to make sure. I remember when I was absolutely obsessed with High School Musical and Zac Efron. I was indeed, an avid fan. But I was never the type to go crazy over their actions outside of Hollywood. Yet, I was upset when Zanessa split up because they were THE PERFECT COUPLE. Call me ignorant, but I love them, miss them, and I don't care what anyone else says. And, I was upset when he smoked because I'm 100% against smoking. BUT what can you do. And someone like Justin Bieber who has a crazy, pre-teen fan base that are seriously self-sacrificing and obsessed to the truest meaning can never find resolve in what he does. Although he has all the fame he wants and all the money he could want, I feel sorry for him. I wonder if there will ever be a teen celebrity that isn't microscopically examined to the point where every action they did is magnified and is deemed selfish or "celebrity gone wrong". But apparently, the trending tag was just a hoax. Which.. is just plain dumb.

Anyways today is my dad's birthday! We're not doing anything special since we already went out for his early birthday yesterday at Cheesecake Factory. I hope I can see more people this week that I haven't seen yet during my break. It feels like spring semester is coming really fast and I just want things to slow down. I love being at home and doing nothing!

Christmas haul!

'Ello! I spent the day today with ma best fren Daisy! WOOO HI DAISY :) We went to target and I didn't self-indulge which I am very proud of. Then we went to Barnes  Victoria secret, and Claire's  The semi annual sale this year isn't really good for me this year. Although it is a great deal on underwear and bra's... which I don't need much more of at the moment. But for the longest time I've wanted ear cuffs. Even before they were that popular and they were just floating around hipster tumblr blogs. So I thought Daisy wanted to get some ear cuffs but turns out she didn't even know Claire's had them. Which was just a funny misunderstanding. Anyways I got three because it was buy 2 get 1 free. I want to have pictures of them on me so I'll feature them later in a different post.


But for now I'll show you my Christmas haul! Daisy got me the Butter London and Benetint - two things that I have wanted for a really long time but never wanted to spend the money myself. The Benetint is really easy and convenient for people like me. I have very pale lips and sometimes I don't like reapplying my lipstick throughout the day. So Benetint, since it is a tint, stains my lips for the entire day so I don't have to worry about losing color. The nail polish is in the shade trout pout. My favorite summer color this year was coral and trout pout was the perfect coral. So I finally got to wear it!

This wallet I got is from fossil. It acts as a wallet and a clutch, it has slots for cards, money, and coins. Then it  also has a slot for your phone! I was so happy when I got this wallet because first I saw a wallet like this on MacBarbie07's youtube channel because she got one from Juicy Couture. I can't wait to use this because it'll definitely prove convenient.

Note: I also got Lauren Conrad's Beauty book for Christmas but I'll do that in a separate post for a book review :)
