Clothing & Makeup Haul

Brandy Melville, American Apparel and Vintage Levi's

Shopping is my cardio. Jess and I went shopping at night in Soho and oh my god, Brandy Melville was less crowded. This is was my first experience shopping at night and I loved it. Walking around the streets of Soho with the glistering city lights above you was a spectacular sight. I recommend shopping at night to anyone. I didn't get much, just a few articles of clothing. First, starting from the right was a great find in some vintage store in Soho, was a vintage studded Levi's jacket. This jacket is a bit bigger than my current Levi's jacket but it will do. I've been looking for a light washed studded Levi's jacket everywhere for a decent price, but I lucked out. Surprisingly I came upon this acid washed one for $20. To me that was a steal. I've seen these kind of jackets at Urban and Esty for $80+. The next article of clothing is the American Apparel Corduroy Circle Skirt. I've tried this circle skirt on before and I didn't like the look on me so I couldn't justify buying it for $45. I decided to go into the AA Soho Outlet to see what they had and luckily I found a section with circle skirts and there was only one black corduroy in my size. It was fate that it was for me to get and I did for $25. Thank goodness that I bought this on impulse because I love it. I've been wearing this every week, and since it's black it goes with everything. Lastly, we went to Brandy Melville. Surprisely they didn't have anything I really wanted. I saw that they had a bin that had stuff on sale for 35%, stuff that was last season or damaged and I came upon a basic grey tee. I thought the tee would go nicely with the circle skirt so I bought.

Makeup Forever, Stila and Sigma

All year round I try to make my makeup minimal and have a natural and clean look on my face. I usually stick with concealer, foundation and eyeliner. My typical go-to look for school or just hanging out around the city. I thought it was time to stock up on some of my favorite basics from Sephora. I also bought a Sigma foundation brush to go along with my foundation. Before I used my fingers to apply my foundation and I read tons of reviews of the F80 and everyone recommended it so I decided to jump the wagon and purchased it. Next, is the Stila eyeliner. This eyeliner is my go-to eyeliner. It's a felt-tip liner that allows you to make thin or thick lines. It does what it says; it stays on all day.

Summer Picks: Shoe Heaven

Top Row: Urban Outfitters (not on site anymore), FreePeople, Urban Outfitters Bottom Row: Solestruck, Steve Madden

    Sorry its been a long time since we last posted anything. Our school life has been crazy and especially with SAT/ACT and AP's taking place, but we're BACK! So, here is my long awaited shoe picks for the glorious summer waiting ahead. Starting from the top row is my new favorite ankle boots. The Jeffrey Campbell "Rosie" is the perfect shoe for the tomboy. This boot can go with practically anything, from a floral dresses to a pair of distressed boyfriend jeans. Moving to the next shoe is a pair of studded converse. This is also perfect for anyone who is going for that effortless look. It's sporty, casual and flirty, perfect for the summer! This is also an easy Do It Yourself project with some of your girlfriends. Now what is summer without a good pair of sandals? These black and brown sandals from Urban Outfitters are the perfect sandals for the summer. Both the black and the brown go perfectly with dresses and high waisted shorts.
    The bottom row showcases the heel portion of my list. I am in love with wearing white in the summer. Something about white in the summer screams fresh and clean. This first shoe is from Solestruck (forgot the brand, but pretty sure it's Jeffrey Campbell) is the perfect mixture of a creeper, a wedge and a chunky heel. I love the laser cutout details and the wood wedge with a chunky heel that makes it easy to walk in. This shoe is the perfect shoe to dress up an outfit but still have a clean grunge feel. The next two shoes are from Steve Madden. The white strappy heel adds a flirtatious sense to an outfit. I can see anyone wearing this heel in some high waisted shorts or some flowy dresses. And lastly, what is summer with out some flower power. I wanted to find the perfect floral print heel for the summer and I think I did. Strappy heels are so on-trend this season. They walked all over New York, Paris and Milan runways. This floral pair is an easy to add a pop of color to someone's outfit.
