I haven't made a set in a while, but I felt inspired today and I really like the idea of doing all black and white with a pop of color. Lately, I've been loving life! I'm graduated from college and am getting ready to move to another state with friends in about a month. It's really exciting! It's a whole new chapter of my life that I'm getting ready to start and I can't wait!
 
Now I'm going to do a spring/summer tag post. I know it's a little late for the spring part, but I liked the questions.
 
1. Favourite spring/summer nail polish?
I never used to be a nail polish lover, it was only recently that I’ve becoming really addicted to trying out colors and designs. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that for 3 years I worked as a brand model at Abercrombie & Fitch and we were not allowed to wear nail polish on our fingers (and on our toes it could only be shades of pink or red). Anyway, Lilacism by Essie has been my favorite so far. It’s such a pretty lavender color. I’m usually not even into the girlier colors, but for some reason I’ve been loving this one for the past few weeks.
 
2. What is your must-have lip color this spring?
I’ve really surprised myself with this answer. I’m usually into wearing matte or muted lips and during the summer I usually stick with coral. However, I’ve really been loving the bright lips trend. There have been a few lip products that I’ve been using regularly. I usually really hate Covergirl products, but lately they have been coming out with a few things I’ve really liked. One has been the Covergirl Blast Flipstick in perky; I get compliments every time I wear it by guys and girls. I also have been wearing the lipstick/lipgloss combo I’m wearing today frequently.
 
3. Show us your favourite summer dress!
I wish I could actually show it too you, but I can’t. I love dresses for the summer and I usually stick with basic dresses that I can make unique with accessories. However, one dress that I love for summer is by Quiksilver. It is a shorter cut and has very think tan and navy stripes with a cut out in the back. I bought it last summer to go to Hawaii and it quickly became my go-to dress for summer.
 
4. Favourite spring scarf/accessory?
I have two answers for this question. The first one is a silk scarf from Abercrombie and Fitch. It is a navy/red/green oversized floral print and is the square scarf so it looks cute both around my neck and as a head wrap. Another thing I have been loving is dainty jewelry. I used to love statement necklaces, but I find the simple stuff now much more chic, but you can also layer them for an edgier look.
5. What spring trend(s) are you most excited about this year? (Make-up, fashion or both!)
I have so many answers for this question! For starters, I really love the bandeau/bralette look under muscle tees. My favorite muscle tee I have says “I love you to the moon and back” and is by Brandy Melville (a lot of people apparently have this top). I also love that camo has become a viable fashion print and I’m excited to experiment with it this summer. The last spring/summer trend I like is that black and white is still in fashion (instead of switching to all bright colors). I’ve said before, but I really like neutral colors, I’m not really into brights, so I’m glad that it’s still in style.
6. Favourite spring/summer scent?
My favorite scent all year round is Burberry Brit, I absolutely love it. However, recently I’ve been wearing DKNY pure a lot. I’m not really into floral scents (with some exception) so my answers may not seem very “summery” haha.
 
7. What is spring like where you live?
I live in the northwest, so our springs are pretty mild. It’s usually pretty cold and even snows periodically right up to May. Not very springy….
 
8. What's your favourite thing about spring?
I love that the weather finally gets warm after a very cold winter!
 
9. Are you a spring cleaner?
I really don’t, but I wish I did!
 
10. Any plans for spring/summer break or an upcoming vacation?
Now that I’m all graduated, it’s not really summer break, it’s just summer! I’m moving in about a month to another state so the next few weeks will be busy with getting those details hammered out. After that, I’m looking forward to BBQs and concerts with friends!

.Summer 2013 Wardrobe.

21 items - One month ago - 16 views
These are things I've been buying or already have that I will be wearing this summer. Everything in the set is as accurate as I could make it.
 
This includes some trends, but mainly it's what I'm actually going to be wearing this summer and sometimes my style is not totally on-trend.

.True To The Blue.
OOTD: pretty much exact to the set. teal sheer sleeveless button up from A&F, teal bandeau from Wetseal, dark denim shorts from Hollister, exact Jeffery Campbell sandals, gold arrow necklace from Target, stackable silver and gold rings from Target
 
Products used today: Botanics rosewater toner, Olay moisteriser, fair-medium Garnier BB creme, Rimmel transluscent powder, Benefit Hoola bronzer, Benefit coralista blush, Benefit Watts Up highlighter, Urban Decay primer, Benefit cream shadow in Bikini-Tini, Benefit powder shadow in Tanks a Latte, Benefit They're Real mascara (I used the Bronze of Champions kit if you were curious why all the Benefit products), Not Your Mother's beach waves spray, DKNY Pure perfume.
 
I haven't made an actual set in a while so I decided now would be a good time. I'm all graduated from college so it's truly the summer for me! It is really weird to be done with school and not be going back in the fall.
 
I have the day off from work, it's mothers day, and it's about 85 degrees outside so I can't complain. I'm just getting ready to watch the Mariner's game so today is going to be an awesome day :)

.I Deserve Everything I Have. I'm Not Entitled To It, I Earned It.
Outfit of the day: dark skinny jeans from A&F, black skinny belt from AE, white button up crop top from A&F, grey muscle tee with a square on the front with a colorful tribal pattern in it (my friend screen printed it for me and I cut the sleeves off so it's one of a kind), black roxy flip flops, red ray bans
 
Products of the day: Aussie hi-shine hair spray, Pacific blood red orange lotion and perfume, Botanics rosewater toner, Olay moisturiser, Pixie illuminating primer, Sonia Kasuk radiant tinted moisturiser, Rimmel powder, Benefit dandelion blush, Urban Decay Naked 2 Pallet (Bootycall, Chopper, Blackout as a liner), Covergirl clump crusher mascara, Covergirl lipgloss that's pink/peach/nude. I can't remember the name.
 
I noticed that I change the style of my outfits (both what I wear and in my sets) all the time but that's me. I'm eclectic wit my interests and what I like and at age (almost) 23 I probably won't change hahaha.....
 
I'm so ready for summer and I feel like I'm being teased because today it's 60* and sunny and Sunday it's supposed to be 40* and rainy and windy. But that's what I get for living in the northwest! Here we go pretty much from winter to summer weather so my sets will all pretty much be summery from here on.

-swimming in the lake
-camping
-exploring the new city I'l living in
-going on road trips
-tanning outside
