Falling in love with Fall.

I decided to change the layout of my blog for a cleaner, simpler look. I enjoy change when it comes to aesthetics, so who knows how long I'll keep it for...

I love the sultry color palette done sexily by Chanel. Very vampire-esq...perfect for the upcoming Twilight sequel, New Moon. I can't believe its almost been a year since I got into the series!

Was bored one day and bought a box of tiny gold pins to make one of those popular safety pin DIY projects. Maybe I'll do a crazier project when I'm in the mood...

Just finished stitching a gold/black string embellishment onto a jacket I hardly wear anymore, in order to create a subtle "band jacket" look. Please disregard the lack of style in my stay-at-home outfit and say "hello" to my pup, Moch. I was going to add more to it, but got tired of pricking my fingers with the needle. I really need to invest in a sewing machine...

Summer Stuff



After several months of not wearing my Alexander Wang vested shirtdress, I've decided to put it up on ebay to make some extra cash this summer. It's a size 2, but unfortunately, it's a bit too large on my shoulders since I'm petite, so hopefully I'll be able to find it a new home! If you're interested in purchasing, feel free to contact me for the listing info!

Warm weather make-up necessities:

Urban Decay Potion
Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion in champagne shimmer. I ran out of the the original sheer primer from 2.5 years ago (yes, it lasted that long...though I didn't use it daily) and finally went out to buy a new one because this stuff actually works. I wore it on my wedding day and my eyeshadow and liner stayed put ALL day. I had tried to replace it by buying a cheaper primer by Sally Hansen and it did me no good. Sometimes you get what you pay for, right? So now, they've come up with a new version of their primer potion. This one comes with shimmer! So really, it's like paying for eyeshadow AND primer in one. Genius.


MAKE UP FOR EVER aqua creamliner. This is a waterproof/creaseproof gel eyeliner that stays put until you take it off (I recommend using a primer for longer-lasting results). I used to use the MAC version of this, but it would smear and so when I ran out, I decided to try this one instead. MAKE UP FOR EVER is a brand developed in Paris, which is known for its high-performance formulations.
