#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.

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.

Quilted Nylon Tech Wristlet Review

Thought I'd blog about the other wallet I gave as a gift while I was at it. Here's it below.

My favorite part about this wallet is the lipstick compartment which I should have considered for myself but it worked out for the person I bought it for. It has MANY pockets more than I knew than when I purchased it. I believe there's one on each side of the wallet and one on the outside which is great for people who keep a lot of papers when shopping or receipts, or whatever you may put in your wallet. This quite bigger than the embellished canvas phone wallet wristlet since it has the lipstick holder and more card cases BUT there isn't a coin section which may be why there are so many pockets and there are more card holders as well. They're both beautiful wallets, I just happen to like the one I own better. :) 

Hurry before this one is sold out!

Embellished Canvas Phone Wallet Wristlet Review


This is my new favorite accessor that I received as a gift. I absolutely adore it. I first came across this shopping for a present for someone and then I got it as a present so it worked out just perfectly. I love the canvas on this piece and the leather interior. It isn't too big and it's not too small. The pocket is for a phone but mine is a bit too big so I just use it for other paper materials or cards. What's great about it is holds both money and change with the zipper. The only downside is that it's a bit lopsided when stuffing it to capacity but it's really not noticeable. Mine is in the color shown above and it's by far the most appealing. I liked it in grey but was surprised when I received it in the tan color and loved it even more. It's a beautiful wallet and a great accessory. Unfortunately it's sold out online! Lucky for my I got it in time. But in case you happen to come across it in store, it's a definite must buy. It's affordable and super adorable.

Fourth of July Look

This is the first time I've ever posted to date for one of these things! Yippie! But I adore these photos and this look. I'm usually not a fan of blatant flag apparel to celebrate but I thought, "Hey why not." It actually turned out pretty legit with my hair and red lipstick, wearing Make up Forever.






Yeah, some of these would have looked better zoomed in or from different angle but my favorite one is the close up. It has perfect lighting. Both top and bottom are from Forever 21. Jacket from StylesForLess Sunglasses from Target and Troopa boots Steve Madden. My dog wanted to be in the pictures.

Enjoy your holiday for those who live in the states! Be safe and drink responsibly.
