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.

Good shopping day!


Got a good haul today! All of these were purchased from H&M! I like shopping on week days when there's hardly anyone around. I was able find everything fairly easily on the sales rack! I'm excited to wear the black blazer because the black blazer I currently own is way too big on me and doesn't tailor to my fit. I'm also glad I was able to find a peplum top and dress still in my size! The good thing about H&M that Forever 21 doesn't have is a bigger range in sizes and it's in numbers.. not your typical S,M,L. So the dresses and skirts actually fit me at H&M. Although I do think Forever 21 does size Love 21 in numbers, everything is sized half a size larger... The other thing I bought was just a brown long cardigan that I can wear with leggings :)

I also saw Les Misérables with Mark :)  It was really good. I went into the theater without knowing anything about the movie or story line and that's how I usually like watching movies in theaters. Unless it's based on a popular recent novel. SPOILER ALERT. My favorite characters were Thénardier and Madame Thénardier who are played by Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter. They were absolutely perfect for the part and I think they did a really good job as did the rest of the cast!

I am so tired after waking up early today to catch the matinee and the family party today... I'm going to take the rest of the evening listening to Les Misérables pandora and reading Insurgent :)
