Summer Haul - Nail Polish and Rompers




So I've been out of blogging and keeping up with fashion cause graduation is narrowing down. Two more weeks and I'll be a college grad! Yippie! These are the items I've been able to get a hold of in the last few weeks. I haven't tried any of the nail polishes yet but their the new liquid sand by OPI and Minnie Mouse Couture. There are the next nail polish color I'm going to wear. I guess back in the day OPI had a wide brush collection and that works really well. I just applied this coat Monday night (now Friday) and I haven't gotten a single chip, which is amazing for OPI because at least by the 3rd day it starts to chip. I will get back to you on the name of the polish. Hope all is well!

NEFF Daily Beanie Review

Who said men's attire is strictly for men? Need a beanie? I advocate the NEFF Daily Beanies. They're SO soft, and quite frankly, that's my favorite part about them. Who wears beanies during spring weather? All the hip kids do, duh. Only joking, but really I've been wearing the gray one a lot lately because it matches with everything. These are great for summer nights because they're small and can easily be put in a bag or purse that doesn't take up too much room during the day, and can be worn by night. The stitching is pretty tight so it should fit on your head unless you wear it towards the back of your head, it won't stay on very well. Check itttt.

Met Gala - Punk: Chaos to Couture

I LOVE RED CARPET EVENTS. The fashion is so fascinating. Here are my favorite pieces from this event.

 I'm in love with the colour contrast of the gold and black. It's so elegant.
 I must say I've a very big fan of black and lace.

These last two are so dynamic and daring. I haven't seen celebrities make such bold fashion choices. I'm particularly fond of Miranda Kerr's dress. She looks fabulous! The lipstick perfectly compliments the outfit.

Photos are not mine and were taken from Yahoo blogs. I guess you can just say I'm a major consumer and I love looking at these. That's the only reason I want to be famous/celebrity. Wear fancy clothes and attend events like these. Ain't that the life.

Brittniss x Coachella Day 3

http://lookbook.nu/look/4840337-Forever-21-Denim-Vest-Steve-Madden-Combat-Boots
 There was a major mix up in transferring hotels but we got back here none the less. I absolutely love this last look cause it literally looks like a campaign ad thanks to my photographically talented friend. As you can tell, I literally didn't care how I looked and just threw my hair up and I didn't wear make up since the first day (honestly I forgot to put it on the second day, but we can pretend I didn't want to wear it).
Look:
Dress - Styles for Less
Denim Vest - Forever 21
Combat Boots - Steve Madden

This was also my simplest outfit because it had the least amount of pieces, but I still love it just the same.
This mother effing snail literally ran people over. I didn't think it moved the first day but I heard from others that they got stuck underneath it or it was right in the middle of sets being a major distraction. It's definitely a beautiful piece of work, but just a pain in the ass when it's sitting in the middle of the set. It was funny because I tried my best to avoid it as much a possible.

Overall, Coachella was a fun, new experience. I didn't feel the need to see every band and it was worth it to just see the select bands I wanted to see. I didn't suffer from fatigue or heat exhaustion because by the last day, people were just chilling in the shade taking naps because they were so exhausted. Like this one girl was passed out while her friends were sitting next to her and her poor piercing looked infected from the sweat. My combat boots was a smart decision to wear. They were comfortable and protected me from the dirt when walking. Downside, they're super dusty now and debating on whether I should clean the laces. WEAR SUNSCREEN AND BRING HATS! I brought jackets for the first two nights and didn't wear one for second night because we left before the sun went down. I know what you're thinking HOW COULD WE HAVE LEFT? I had class the next day people at 9am, cut me some slack. Jk. It didn't matter anyway because we came late the whole weekend anyway. Wide brim hats are your best option because they cover your face and provide your body with a little bit of shade. They weren't kidding when they said to stay hydrated. Because I probably stayed max 4-5 hours per day, I consumed 2 bottles while there and that's not even accounting for the water I consumed prior and after. BUDDY SYSTEM! Just cause. I can't comment on the bathrooms because I was fortunate enough to only have to go when I was in the hotel room and when I did have to go we were already heading back anyway. If you plan to drink, camp or buy shuttle pass. If you're an all day goer, camp or get shuttle pass. It was totally worth the extra 50 bucks just so we didn't have to drive back and forth and when we were tired we didn't have to deal with the stress of driving back.

That was my weekend. Hope you other coachella-ers were safe and had a good time as well.

I'm graduating this quarter so I'm trying to finish off strong and majorly studying.
Happy studies.

Brittniss x Coachella Day 2

Woot woot! Day 2! So we figured we weren't going til later so we chilled at the hotel most of the day and went swimming. It was totally worth it to sit back and chill because I totally enjoyed the rest of the night more.
Brittniss x Shuttle Stop
Here's my second look since Lookbook banned it off the website. Which to me is total crap because it didn't put the words on there. Like it's an object that I'm talking a picture with and it's entirely artistic. But blah fine.
Look:
Tank - Victoria's Secret PINK
Shorts - Forever 21
Letterman's Jacket - Styles for Less
Combat Boots - Steve Madden

Must say this was my favorite night because I was super prepared and the bands I wanted to see were playing later and they all sounded AMAZING! I was in love with Postal Service and Two Door Cinema Club! I grew up listening to Postal Service and they were like my high school band. I probably listened to them every night to sleep in high school. I was planning to see Two Door sooner but school always interfered so it was great to finally see them live.

This photo was shot right before Two Door played. This was also an art piece where they just attached a bunch of balloon to strings and festival goers took turns passing it off to one another to take pictures with and move them around the festival. It was really cool because it was always moving and it looked great with all the lighting they had around the festival. Not much to talk about here because it was such a good day.
