My Birthday Wishlist

There's three more weeks until my birthday (soon I'll be 23, eek!) so I would like to share my birthday wish list. There's not so much that I want this year, I'm mostly doing this list because it's fun. That's why you might see random  items on it as well.

Caravelle by Bulova Watch

 Lola by Marc Jacobs perfume

 Gift Cards to Cold Stone Creamery, Barnes & Noble and Dunkin Donuts

And last but not least, the greatest collaboration of all time...Ice Cream Cake!

I Heart Jeffrey Campbell

Jeffrey Campbell is my latest obsession. So many beautiful shoes! The best part about this designer is that you don't have to break the bank to own some mean shoes. Most of the shoes in this line are under three hundred dollars. A little pricey but compared to other designers, they are a great steal. here are two pairs of wedges that I purchased from the shoe site SoleStruck.

 Mary Roks wedge in Pink Cheetah

The infamous Tick wedge

 

I LOVE that the box for the Tick wedges had a shoe-themed crossword puzzle!

I have worn only the Tick wedges and they are extremely comfortable. they are a little on the heavy side but nothing major. I would love someone to mess with me while I'm wearing them so I can give them a good stomping. They are so bad ass that it's not even funny. I can't wait to wear the Mary Roks.

Quickie Hair Post

I decided to do an extra post on a cute, easy hairdo for one of those blah days. It is practically effortless and it's a quirky way to add some personality to a plain hairstyle.

Celeb Inspiration: Rihanna

 The "Hav" Version

 paisley print scarf (used as hair tie)-Forever21

  For my version, I just teased my hair a bit at the crow and did a ponytail. Then, I just pulled the ponytail into a messy bun. To create the bow, I just used a thin scarf that I have and tied it into a bow on the side. So easy and it's a great use for all these scarves that I have and never use! The more colorful the print, the better. they also have bows that are pre-made also which are easy to find, Forever21 always has.

The makeup look I'm wearing here is my casual, everyday look for Spring. I will be posting a tutorial soon.

Sigma Brushes Haul

I needed new brushes BADLY. And when I mean badly, some were glued back together because they fell apart LOL. So I decided to purchase some from Sigma Makeup after hearing so many people rave about them. I purchased a set from the "Make Me Crazy" collection, I was immediately enamored by the fact that they were purple. The collections comes in other colors and it's a set of twelve of Sigma's best-selling brushes.I also purchased two of their regular brushes that I liked. I got them promptly, service was great and I even got a free travel brush as a gift! I also used a ten percent coupon, I love deals!

 The "Make Me Crazy" set comes with a matching brush holder. I've been using them for about a week and I love them. They are so soft and feel so good on my face. This is going to sound odd but for some reason, I like the way they smell.

OOTD: Props To My Crop

Another corny blog post name but I really do have to give props to the crop top in my OOTD. I wore outfit this out last Friday to a restaurant/bar. My friend was celebrating her birthday there and I didn't want to be too overdressed. I got a whole bunch of compliments on the top I wore. it was a loose fitting crop top made out of a silky material. I got it at H&M. I liked the bold print and thought it would be a nice break from solid colors, which I tend to wear a lot. I hardly wear prints.

 I didn't get to take a full length but I wore my outfit with the shoes pictured above. Crop tops are a must for Spring, they can be worn in so many different ways and are great for casual or dressier occasions. Expect toi see more OOTD posts with them!

Mini Purse Haul + My Eyeko Twitter Prize

I did some shopping for Spring and this is the first of many hauls that I'll be doing. I'll be doing a video on all my purchases once I'm done. This first post is on some purses that I purchased. I am also including some goodies I won from Eyeko on Twitter. they had a contest where you had to name your guilty celebrity crush and my answer was Gregory Peck. He was just so refined and handsome and I love him as Atticus Finch in "To Kill A Mockingbird".

Here are the purses as I purchased as well as a necklace and brush holder..

clutch with crystals- Kollares

small purse-F21

orange brush holder-F21

necklace-F21

I got this clutch at this store that I love called Kollares. It is located in Uptown, Manhattan in 207 st. This is where I get my shoe fix at because they always have a nice selection. They also have really nice purses and I purchased this little clutch because all purses were 20% off. And I can never turn down a sale. I find this clutch to be quite unique and can't wait to accessorise with it during a night out.

The purpke ourse has a long strap so it's good for everyday use. I like colored bags because they add a pop of color since I wear neautral colors most of the time. I needed a brush holder so I got this one at Forever 21 and I think it's so cute!

And here is what I won from Eyeko..

I havne't tried out my goodies yet but I can't wait to do so. I know the lip pen smells yummy because when I swatched it, I got a hint of the scent. And I think the necklace is so cute!
