Rainy Day Lookbook

I wish it would rain more in Southern California. If you didn't know already, SoCal is in a drought. It's pretty damn awful considering it's raining/snowing everywhere else. And guess what, it's just going to get warmer. Anyway, lets talk about look details.

Mine (Color Burst): So my look was inspired by the idea that you can still look good while it's raining. Just get those thigh high boots on and you'll be as warm as any other person. The key here is finding a warm coat also to keep you warm as wearing sweaters! You'd be surprised how warm you can be with just a sweater and a coat. Of course I have my pops of color with my hair and my umbrella. You can use anything as an accessory.

Victoria (Layered Grunge): What I love about Victoria's look is she can pick anything up and make it look rocking. She probably found these pieces in her parents closet and they are still relevant today. She didn't exactly grow up in the 90s but she could fool anyone with this look. Oversized coats are great for rainy days and plaid shirts provide that extra layer of comfort. She also wore a scarf, knit headband, and socks under her rainboots to provide extra warmth.

Julia (Bold Silence): I love how sophisticated she looks yet still has her adolescent innocence. I wish I was that stylish when I was her age. Her dress reminds me of a mime and her red sweater is very bold, hence the name bold silence for her. As I said for my look, you can still wear a dress in the rain and be totally warm. Red, white, and black always work for any occasion.

Amber (Comfy Casual): Now Amber's is the epitome of a rainy day: pullover sweater, jeans, and a beanie. And hey, even on days it isn't raining this is my go-to outfit. Don't forget the Ugg boots to keep your feet warm. It's a wonder what those boots can do when you're cold. I've found as long as my feet and neck are warm I'm set to go anywhere in the cold.

Victoria's Secret PINK Yoga Legging Review

LOVE THESE. At first I thought these were so overhyped because they were everywhere, but they're really a staple in my wardrobe. They're really so comfortable and they have the band that gives it that extra flare compared to regular leggings. Yes, I totally agree they're expensive but if you get a deal on them BUY THEM! Like when they're on sale or if you have a coupon $10 off or something, go get a pair! I would highly recommend to not get the "Bling" ones because one they're expensive, two I hate dealing with anything that might possibly fall off on my clothing cause I have OCD and won't wear it if there's something missing off the item and three, because stuff will fall off you SHOULD hand wash them, unless you have a handwash cycle, which is still a pain since you have to collect a bunch of hand wash items so you're not wasting detergent. But that's my opinions and little rant. But you do you.
Enjoy!

Tank and Lace Racerback Dress from Victoria's Secret

 Bought this one in this pink. I was interested in buying it in white, which H&M had a similar one but the material wasn't thick enough so it was very see-through. It runs a bit large because it's meant to be worn with a bandeau but if you're not interested in wearing a bandeau, I'd buy the smaller size and wear a stickie boobs bra so that way it doesn't show, or wear a bra that doesn't show all the straps. I particularly like their dress because even though it's a tight fit it doesn't expose all your curves and is actually flattering. I originally wanted it in the tribal print but it sold out during the semi-annual sale. Plus in stores the dress is now $15.

This one is also selling for $15 and I got this one in black. I'm planning on using it as a cover-up as it advertises because it's way to baggy to be wearing it as a dress.

I had a $10 off so I got the dresses for $20 and tax so it was a great deal.
I plan on styling the tank dress with black leather vest and my damsels. Look to come!

#PINKBookSelfie Contest and Living for the Fame Lookbook

I wasn't planning on doing this contest but I figured I have the resources might as well do it. It was a lot of fun because I was going for Lana Del Rey's look with the hair and makeup and my hair turned out better than I had hoped. I absolutely loved it.

Process of doing my hair.

My lovely set.

Instagram submission

The submission was inspired by Daisy on the Great Gatsby promo photo and yes these clothes are all owned and not bought just for the shoot.

Make up was done by myself and I used the Victoria's Secret pallets that were on sale during the Semi-Annual, L'oreal eyeliner, and MAC's Viva Glam Gaga. 

Hair was done with Aussie hairspray and used a pick comb to get the tease. Headpiece was a gift from Hawaii.

Victoria's Secret PINK Spring Break Collection

As I have mentioned before, I'm obsessed with the PINK brand. I love everything that it stands for as far as being the younger less sexier side of Victoria's Secret. ANYWAY, who else died from the spring break collection? I literally bought as many things as I could afford for the time being and still contemplating on their swimwear. I bought the blue tunic with the cutout sides and the slouchy crew neck shirt in gray and pink. Yes, I will eventually buy more when the stuff goes on sale but this is just a starter. The tunic, you might have to go a size down because I normally wear a size small but thought the x small looked better. But the new collection meant other things went on sale. So I finally bought the light weight sweater I've been looking at for months and I got a free phone case and underwear. Yay free stuff. The light weight sweater is long in the waist but fits perfectly in the arms so if you're not a fan of that don't buy it. Let me know what you think of the collection.

Victoria's Secret Pink Campus Pant vs. Signature Pant

Campus

Signature

I remember when Victoria's Secret first launched the pink line and how much every girl wanted the sweat pants. At the time they only had what they call now the "Signature pant", and the first pair I owned was a pair of maroon pants with Pink etched in the colour pink and white across the bum. I was felt so cool to have them. Even now the hype of it hasn't died down, which is great for Victoria's Secret but sucks for consumers because we keep wanting to buy more. Literally before Christmas I was in there twice a week because I wanted to get all their deals they had, including the free Pink Nation Panty, cell phone cases, and make up bag, as well as using the secret reward cards and the $10 they sent in the mail. Back to the point of the blog, I'm a huge fan of their campus pant. It's the most comfortable sweat pant I've ever owned and plus it has pockets, which gets me every time because I usually have my phone on hand or when I'm doing laundry I'll put the coins in my pocket. They are also slightly banded at the bottom, so the sizes run bigger to give the slouchy look. I like the campus pant because when I'm sitting there and I need of socks, all I have to do is roll down my pants to cover my feet. It works just as well. But then again, it could just be meant for tall people and the short people just deep the benefits of it being too big. Who knows. Whereas the signature pant is more fitted, pocket-less, and runs to about mid-calf. I intended to purchase more of the campus pant during the sale, but all the sizes are already gone. Happy shopping.
