3 Ways to Style An Oversized Shirt

Here's a little story about this oversized men's button down. It was Record Store Day 2014 and after doing a little record shopping, I stumbled upon the Buffalo Exchange Earth Day sale. First of all, I had no idea it was Earth Day and back then I was literally the worst at thrifting (even at a place like Buffalo Exchange). They had around 5 cardboard boxes outside the store full with $1 clothing items. And I won't lie, most of the stuff in the boxes was pretty horrible but then I managed to dig up this blue button down from the bottom of one of the boxes. At first I didn't think much of it but I decided to get it because I really loved the royal blue color. Now 2 years later I couldn't be happier that I decided to pick this $1 shirt up because it's one of the most versatile pieces I own. I wear it casually, a little edgy, and I even dress it up once in awhile.

Artis Brush Dupe

If you follow any big YouTubers or bloggers, then chances are that you know about the brand Artis. The brand is famous for their ergonomically designed brushes that look a lot like a toothbrush or a hairbrush. As much as I would love to try out one of the insta-famous Artis brushes, they're not exactly budget friendly. The smaller detail brushes retail for $35 and the bigger foundation foundation brushes are $55. One day while browsing one of my favorite cheap eBay shops I stumped upon a very affordable dupe which was less than $3. For that price I decided to buy it and test out this odd looking brush for you.

100% Drugstore Holiday Makeup

Here's my second holiday look of the season. For today's look I created a green smokey eye for the holidays using nothing but drugstore makeup. Everything from the brow product to the actual brushes used are incredible affordable, and many can be found at your local drugstore. In my regular tutorials I tend to use a combination of drugstore and high-end makeup, so it felt so nice creating something entirely out of drugstore makeup. This more dramatic makeup is perfect for more glam Christmas dinners, or you can wear it with to your family's dinner if you happen to like smokey eyes. I really loved how this look turned out and I really hope that you do as well.

Asian Beauty Haul

I've been wanting to try out Asian beauty and skincare products for the longest time, but it took me a while to find an online store that had both reasonably prices and shipping. During a quick YouTube search I came across a video by an Asian beauty blogger residing in the UK and she recommended an eBay store which I immediately fell in love with. The eBay store has a great array of Asian skincare and beauty products that are priced very well, and the best thing is that the shipping is quite quick and completely free. Apart from ordering a few skincare and beauty products, I also purchased some more brushes from one of my favorite eBay shops.

Outfit of the Day | The Panoramic Printed Dress

If you saw the Neiman Marcus Spring 2014 Trends post then you would know that prints are going to be big in spring. One of the items we were shown was a beautiful printed dress which reminded me of something I bought last summer. The panoramic print may not be identical but it still fall under that print trend we'll be seeing a lot of. Also you'll notice a little dog in all my pictures and that's my Yorkie Francis. I brought her along to the park because well she's a dog and she likes going to the park. haha.

Valentine's Day Outfit Ideas

Valentine's Day is almost here and with that comes the hard decision of figuring out what you're going to wear. You can either go dress up for your significant other if you're planning a romantic night out, or dress down if you're going to be having a casual night or going out with your friends. If I were doing something I'd probably wear the casual look since it has a subtle touch of red, plus it's definitely a lot more "me."

NYE 2014 Outfit

So we have done nails and makeup, now all that there is left is an outfit! Here's an outfit for those of you who are heading out to a semi formal event or restaurant. It is a very simple outfit featuring pops of gold jewelry of course.

Outfit of the Day | Monochromatic

For the month of October the San Diego Style Bloggers blog issued a challenge to come up with monochromatic looks. I honestly was over thinking this and actually trying to plan out a complicated monochromatic look, but this past Sunday the look just sort of happened. I went up to visit my boyfriend this weekend so I didn't end up taking my whole wardrobe and by the last day all I had was black items of clothing. When I looked in the mirror I realized "Hey, I'm wearing head-to-toe black! This is a monochromatic look!"
