Mini Beauty Haul

Hello dearies! Soo, I'm heading of to vacation soon- to China! Unfortunately, that means I won't be able to blog frequently for the next month, but I will try to get an occasional blog post up!
I stopped by Walgreens and Target today and picked up three beauty products, and here they are.

First, Loreal's True Match Foundation in Warm Nude Beige
I'm excited to try this out, as I have heard great things about this!

Next, Maybelline's Fit Me Concealer in Sand
I am always on a lookout for a good concealer, so I decided to try this out!

Finally, I needed a makeup setting spray, so I picked up this dewy finish one by NYX, one of my favorite drugstore beauty brands.

That's it guys! I'm currently working on a Carry On Essentials post, so keep an eye out for that! Also, if you have tried any of the above products, I would love to hear your thoughts on them.
Until next time~~ XOXO

OOTD: Comfy Florals

Hello-o lovelies!

So on Friday my friend and fellow blogger (click here to check her out) decided to head to our local mall to do some shopping!

When I go shopping, my outfit has to be 

1. comfortable 

2. easy to change out of

 3. hands free

So this rules out uncomfortable jackets that I probably will have to carry around, clutches, high heels,  and sweaters.

Why sweaters? Because when you are constantly in and out of the dressing rooms, changing out of sweaters can be a static party for your hair. You can combat this by bringing a dryer sheet, but it still brings unwanted hassle to your shopping experience.

For this outfit, I chose some really soft and comfortable high waisted shorts, a cropped floral tank, and a cream cardigan. For shoes I chose my oxfords, and I decided to keep the accessorizing minimal because it can be a hassle to be shopping with too much clinking and clanging going on: a simple necklace will do the trick. 

Finally I chose one of my favorite purses for the springtime. It's neutral, and has a hint of coral which adds a fun pop of color!

Side note: I also suggest bringing a hair tie, because sometimes a simple ponytail is just what a girl needs on a tiring shopping day! 

Where things are from:

Top: Hand-me-down 

Shorts: F21

Cardigan: H&M

Shoes: Ross; Madden Girl

Bag: Coach

Necklace: F21

My next spring trends post should be up in a few days! Until next time! XOXO

Spring Hauling: F21, Target, and Macy's

Hello my lovely daisies!~
I decided to do some shopping today to relax after taking the ACT ^_^
Today wasn't one of  those plentiful shopping days, but I did find some cute items
Let's get started, shall we?

Macy's

At Macy's I picked up this Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Perfume set.
I had smelled the Green Tea and Honeysuckle Scent before, and I had fallen in love. I was looking to pick up the full size of that scent, but the counter did not have it in stock. My eyes fell on this set and I immediately wanted to try this out. All the scents are really lovely, but my favorite is still the Green Tea and Honeysuckle. For only $25, you get four .5 fl. ounce bottles.

Target

I wanted to get some new nail polishes for spring, so I stopped by one of my favorite stores: Target. 

First I picked up Watermelon by Essie

It is a beautiful bright pink-not hot pink, but a more of a light berry-ish color

       

                                                                                         

 Next up, Go Ginza by Essie 

It is a lovely lilac color. It has hints of a light pink.

I used to have Lilacism by Essie as well, but that is more of a purple color, and has more of a grey base, while this color has more of a white base, if you know what I mean!

Here I have L'Oreal's Smell the Roses 330. I saw this on clearance for 47 cents!? So I had to pick this up. It is a pretty nude-ish pink that is more on the darker side, so I think this might be a pretty color for painting my toes.

Finally I picked up a top coat. this is Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in 110 Clearly Quick.

I was looking to pick up Seche Vite, but that was out of stock. So I returned to one of my old time favorites for a quick drying, inexpensive top coat. 

F21

I picked up this beautiful cream crop top. It is really versatile, either paired with high waisted shorts or skater skirts. 

Next, I picked up this muscle tank that totally brought out the nerd in me. 

It is the famous quote from Shakespeare's Hamlet beginning "To be or not to be"

I thought this would be an easy, casual top to wear on those hot summer/spring days with maybe a bandeau underneath.

Finally I picked up this cute dainty necklace. I am in love with wearing simple necklaces, as they are really casual and look adorable with every outfit without overpowering the look. 

That's all for now! What have you picked up recently? Comment below!

Until next time!~ XOXO

Wearing Spring Trends: Pastels

Hello lovelies!~
So this is a start of my spring trends series where I find some wearable trends that are currently in this spring 2014.
To start it off, I'm  going to start with a trend that I wear regardless if it is "in" or not.
Pastels! 
I already love this trend as for some reason, I am strangely attracted to pastel shades.
Here are my tips on wearing this trend.

1. Do not overdue it! Keep it to around 2-3 pieces of pastels, as seen above, I only used two pastels.
2. White is lovely with pastels, it really contrasts well with the pastels and brightens up your outfit!
3. If you aren't a huge light and girly color wearer, I suggest maybe going for some pastel nail polish or jewelry.
4. Color block! If you aren't afraid of jumping on this trend train, color blocking is a bold and fun way to wear this trend.
5. With pastels you can either go girly with lace, frills, peter pan collars, etc.
or even edgy with cleaner cuts; you don't need those frills!
6. If this isn't really your trend, try a neutralish base; white jeans, faded denim, black blazer, etc!
7. Gold jewelry really stands out against the pastel shades, while silver blends in more and is a softer look!

That's all for now! Comment below what you think of this trend, and any suggestions that you have for wearing pastels!
Until next time~ XOXO

Styling a New Trend: Florals and Stripes

Styling a New Trend: Florals and Stripes by lacedaisies 

I have always loved mixing prints because it is a easy way to accentuate the other prints (ironically). So this trend is a great way to wear two prints together in a less "loud" way. 

Stripes being very geometric and monochromatic, being put together with florals, colorful and random(ish) highlight each others opposing traits very well. There are also so many ways I wear this trend making it versatile for many different styles. 

So here are my styling tips on how to wear this trend. 

1. Choose a floral that is large, not small and patterned. While small patterned florals do look nice, put together with stripes will make you look a little too geometric and lined out.

2. Choose thinner stripes for most florals. Wide stripes sometimes draw too much attention away from the florals. But play around with it!

3. Standard rule. Vertical stripes on bottoms and horizontal stripes on top usually look best. 

4. Keep your accessories and shoes solid colors. 

If you want to go with a color other than a neutral, a good rule of thumb is to choose a not well represented color in the floral and use that. If you want just use black or brown, even nude! But I would be careful about white since 95% of striped items use white as one of the striped colors. 

5. When matching florals and stripes, black and white stripes seem to go with everything! (Except floral skirts with navy as a base) Navy and white stripes are a great choice as well. But colors striped with white can always be paired with colors that complement well. 

That's all! Have fun with this trend!

The great part about this trend is you probably already have these items in your closet! 

I hope my styling tips helped! 

Until next time! 

XOXO
