Outfit of the Day | Spotty Dotty

I know that my wardrobe has been a bit on the non-colorful side lately. I just prefer to dress in dark colors so I can wear a bright lip or eyeshadow effortlessly. When I saw this top on the COS website I had to give in and just get something that's a bit of out my comfort zone. Prints are not something that I'm a huge fan of, then add a bunch of unsymmetrical colorful dots and you get something that sounds straight out of a horror movie to me. Oddly enough this top has become one of my favorite pieces in my wardrobe. It goes to show that sometimes it's worth stepping out of your style comfort zone.

Neutral Valentine's Day Look

Valentine's Day makeup usually feature red lips and rosy cheeks but this is no ordinary Valentine's Day look. As you may know I've been a fan of neutrals for a while, but recently my love for neutrals has reached an all-time high. You may recognize this makeup look if you follow me on Instagram because it was the same look that I wore on Christmas Eve. For me this is a perfect look for any occasion because you can wear anything without having to ask yourself "will this go with my outfit?" This makeup tutorial is in collaboration with Betzy of the channel Betzy Carmona so if you want to see a more sultry look for Valentine's Day just go ahead and watch her incredible tutorial. Now let's take out all the neutral makeup from your collection and let's get started.

Outfit of the Day | Back in Green

Guess who's baaaaack? Let's just say January wasn't my month but let's start off fresh this month! I have a brand new camera, a new lens, and a few new clothing pieces that I picked up last month during the winter sales. When I saw this chunky sweater at Zara I instantly fell in love with the loose silhouette and the olive green color. I unfortunately haven't had too many opportunities to wear the sweater due to how hot it got in San Diego but this past weekend I finally saw the opportunity to wear this gem without the fear of overheating. Let's just say that olive green is now one of my favorite colors to wear.

December 2014 Favorites

I know I'm late to the monthly favorites party but better late than never. In December there were many face products rediscoveries, including a powder that I had completely forgotten about for a few months but is still a YouTube cult favorite. I also discovered a few amazing drugstore products that recently hit the shelf across the country. *Pssst those products are also going to be part of a brand new video series* And last but not least, I finally discovered the perfect long-wearing, opaque, and matte lip product. If you're interested in finding out a bit more about my most-used products of December just watch the video below.

Channel Orange

Hello everyone, my name is Laura and I am addicted to orange colored lip colors. Once upon a time I found orange to be too obnoxious, but flash forward a couple of years and now I'm constantly fighting the urge to purchase more orange lip colors. My collection of orange lip products is rapidly growing with no signs of stopping any time soon. Inspired by the Frank Ocean album Channel Orange, I'm going to be showing you a variety of orange shades and lip products in this post.

Spring/Summer Lipsticks

Whenever I think about spring and summer one things comes to mind- bright lipsticks! Bright shades of pink, coral, and orange look amazing during sunny days. I'm a little bit of a lipstick fanatic so it took a while to pick my favorite shades for the upcoming months.
