Nice & Easy
Here's another look from American Eagle. This would be perfect for running errands, Sunday Brunch, or even a day at the office. Make it really pop with red lipstick or red nails. I love simple, understated classics. This look will look good today, tomorrow or even a few years from now.
All American Look
Ok, so I got my Sam Edelman Faye Clogs from TjMaxx (at the price of only $40!). So I was trying to think of a good way to style them. I've been seeing a lot of cute American Eagle things posted on other blogs and they're really following trends well this year. So here's my All American (Eagle) Look using my Sam Edelman shoes and fall's hottest looks as inspiration.

Norma Kamali for Walmart
So Norma Kamali has been doing the Walmart thing for a while now and I always see her stuff in the stores and think "cute". But her latest items available are really...well no one would guess you got it at Walmart. Here's some of my favorite things from the collection.
Women's Batwing Cardigan
$15
For a grand total of less than $150 you can have all these! Not bad.
I'd love to see all these in person, so i think I'll go look around a couple of Walmarts. Anyone seen these? Made a purchase?
Style A Celebrity!
Ok, so I wanted to try something I've been thinking about for a while. When shopping I sometimes see items and think "Wow, *insert celebrity name here* would so wear that!". Haha! I don't know if I'm the only person that thinks about that stuff, but I wanted to try my hand at styling a celebrity. So my first person I chose is Katy Perry. Mostly because she dresses just so fun. I had the dress in mind already and found everything to match. Katy's style is girly, childlike and sometimes retro. I notice she also likes to have a lot going on, imo, yet wears very little jewelry. But I decided to deck her out with some Tarina Tarantino jewels, a brand she already wears. She also likes that matchy matchy style (me too!). Here I've posted my look for her, plus some of my favorite looks of her's.
Have any suggestions for my next celebrity styling???
Lulu Guiness Black Doll Face Clutch $308(converted from pounds)
All Jewelry by Tarina Tarantino
Electric Heart Ring $125

Handbag Heaven
I seen a post about HandbagHeaven.com on MissChievous's YouTube channel not too long ago and I'm really liking some of their bags. However, I'm always iffy on cheap bags and usually just pick up better bags at discount prices, on clearance or Tj Maxx stores. So I'm wondering if any of you have any experience with this website and if so...what are your thoughts on their products?
Here's some of my favorite styles- all under $50!
Greedy Glitter
I think most women lust after a pair of amazing glitter heels. I know I do. Here's my list of faves from cheapest to most crazy expensive.
$88
As seen on Beyonce in the video for "Why don't you love me?"

Orig. $19.99
Was $14.99
Now $10.99
Was $14.99

In The Army Now! (Fall Trend)
I'm really loving the military trend for fall and I'm seeing it everywhere! Not everyone can afford to splurge on that amazing pair of J Brand skinny cargos though, so I thought I'd include my list of wallet friendly ways to stay in style.

Clogs!
Sam Edelman "Faye"
Hi everyone, I haven't posted in quite a while...almost a year! But I am really excited about fall fashions and thought I'd try to pick my blog back up to talk about it. I'm thinking about making some videos on YouTube also, but I'm not sure if anyone will watch...we'll see!
Ok so I've seen clogs around for a little while now and I'm not a clog fan. When I was in the seventh grade I found a pair of bright pink patent leather clogs and for some reason thought they were just amazing haha! I have no idea what I was thinking, but it was the age of the Spice Girls so I'm sure that's what happened...
Anyways I was in TJ Maxx the other day and found these clogs I really liked by Sam Edelman for only $40! I tried them on and they felt amazing, felt like I wasn't even wearing a shoe! I love them and I hope they're still there when I go back but if they're not, I googled them and found them on several online sites like Zappos and Nordstroms. The problem is they average $150 everywhere else! Ugh, I want these shoes!
What do you guys think of the clog trend? Love it or Hate it?

Zoya: Hot Lips!
For those of you on Twitter, you must have heard about the promotions Zoya does. Well there latest one they gave away three free Hot Lips of your choice. These are their glossy lip balms. It's a gloss that is also a balm. My picks were Fame (a pretty nude), GirlyGirl (a deep pink with a hint of shimmer) and Babydoll (a barbie pink). I love all three. They have such a good smell to them and the colors don't disappoint. I also picked up Luna which is one of their new glitters. It looks like a disco ball. Very party appropriate. I haven't had time to try it on yet but have seen many swatches and it looks like New Years Eve in a bottle. They also included some catalogs which are a big help since they have over 300 polish colors! Be sure to follow Zoya_NailPolish on Twitter!
Recent Buys
I picked up the NYX palette for green eyes along with the blue eyes palette which was a gift for someone. I found a seller on ebay who sells these palettes 2 for $12.99 with shipping at only $2.94. She ships so fast! I got my eyeshadows in 2 days from California to Alabama. She wrapped everything so well and had the cutest invoice/thank you included with her logo on it. Her ebay name is Joy017 and the store is JOY'S cosmetics. I definitely will buy my NYX stuff from her in the future. O and the palette is so pretty. All the colors are perfect for my eyes and they go on so smooth. Some of them do have a lot of fall out but no big deal to just sweep away.
I hate going to Walmart and last time I went to try and find the Hard Candy cosmetics- they weren't in stock yet. I thought they still hadn't stocked them until I finally found them squeezed between two other displays in an aisle. Everything looked pretty nice but this is what I really wanted so it's the only thing I picked up. Their lipstick is called Painted Lady if I'm not mistaken and this is a nude color in Fire Alarm. I don't really get the name but the color is so pretty. A perfect nude. The lipstick goes on really smooth and doesn't feel dry. As far as staying on, it's not horrible but I don't mind reapplying. Also, I love the tube itself. Really cute.
If anyone has a PS3 they must sign up for Netflix. As soon as I heard about Netflix coming to PS3 I signed up. I not only get 2 movies out at anytime, movies to watch on the computer, but also with this disk I can watch the instant movies on my tv. A lot of people were upset at the idea that it is disk based. This means every time I want to watch the movies I must insert this disk. To me, no big deal- I would have to put in a disk to watch a movie anyways. The only thing that bugs me is that I do believe they have the technology to just send us an update and make it where we don't need the disk. I know Xbox does it like this. Maybe they have an exclusive deal though. Like Apple and AT&T...
I picked up these Juicy Couture earrings for only $25 at TjMaxx! I really like them because they snap on securely and are just so cute!
Anyone into body washes (i.e. the whole female population) should check out Suave's limited edition seasonal body washes. I picked this up at Walmart for $1.50! And it smells amazing! I got the Peppermint Bliss one and am going to go back and get more of this and the others. Great buy. The other scents include-Toasted Vanilla Sugar, Candied Apple(this is the only one that didn't stand out to me, and I love apple scents), and Holiday Pear but I didn't see or smell this one.
Sometimes I like to go over to SlickDeals.net and see what the deals are. Well I stumbled over there not too long ago and found these business cards on sale at OfficeDepot.com for only $3.71! I have no need for business cards but between the price and the cute design I had to order some! You like?
My Elfster Package!
I participated in a polish exchange over at Elfster.com for Christmas. We sent off our packages around the First of November and I received mine Friday. I was so excited when I seen my package in the mailbox. Turns out my "Elf" was Berry from HappyBerryNaiad blog. She sent sooooo much stuff! The picture doesn't even have everything in it! I also got O.P.I. Elephantastic Pink, there was another Clarins sample and even some jewelry! She even made the card herself which is why I showed the outside. I really enjoyed this exchange, I got to send a package to New Zealand and I received mine from Singapore. I hope we can do this again...soon! Thanks again to Berry :)

Happy Halloween!
Sometimes last week I was over at Makeupalley.com and seen a code for another Zoya promo posted on the nail boards so I hurried over to Artofbeauty.com and loaded my buggy with the three polishes that came to my mind as a want and clicked order. I wasn't sure if it would work, I mean three free amazing polishes? (just pay shipping?) Well I guess so! I received my polishes in the mail Thursday. These are my first Zoya polishes and I love them! I got one from the winter glitters, one from the winter mattes, and one I've had my eye on for a while. I love all three. I can see why they're giving these away now. They know once you try them you'll be hooked. I got Harlow(which is missing from the picture), Barbie and Nova. I want to paint all my shoes with Nova haha!
I've been messing with makeup all morning, trying to see what I'm going to do tonight. The makeup doesn't show up at all in these crappy pictures, it's so much more dramatic in person. Plus my hair is frizzy but the tutorial I used off of youtube.com said not to use any hair product...if you want to see the most amazing curls ever go here. I wish I would get mine to look like hers!
I still haven't decided for sure if I'm even going to dress up but if I do I'll try and get better pics.
Happy Halloween everybody! Have a safe night!
And thanks to everyone entering the contest so far! I love reading the polish ideas!
