those long legs that go on forever

sweet confectionery by organicmilke featuring a leather tote

Love this outfit. I currently love heeled/wedged lace up boots. I have to get my hands on some before it seems like i'm just copying everyone else. I'm definitely copying SOME people but I don't want to get them when the whole world has them because they're offered at target and fred meyers. No offense to target, you're my go-to-gal for basics! Anywayyy, I adore this outfit. The flowwy dress, the knee high knit socks, the lovely boots, the cute little scarf. I was having problems finding a top for the socks and shoes but I'd also wear an oversized shirt dress and a leather jacket but I was too lazy to make that on the polyvore image :)

Cheers!

Wish List + Update

Just got back from a weekend trip to San Francisco with the sister! It was fabulous and pictures will be up soon

I really need boots for winter. Last year everyone was wearing suede boots so I bought leather and now this year everyone's wearing knee high leather riding boots. So now I'm looking for something else and I've fallen in love with these two puppies. I'll probably buy a pair of leather ones just because they're simple but these are pretty bad ass!!!

Anyway! Senior year's been pretty drab so far but on the bright side...USHERS COMING TO TOWN AND I AM GOING. oh yes. feel the amazingness surround you.

Victoria's Secret Smokey Eye

When you think Victoria's Secret models you think perfectly tanned, flawless skin, smokey eye, sexy.

While i can't be ALL those things I finally mastered the smokey eye on an asian eye!!

I opted out of a harsh black and followed the lines of the VS makeup artists by using natural browns.

I started with a white base all over the lid up to the brow bone, a beige swept all over the lid leaving a slight strip of white under the brow, and a dark MATTE brown shadow lined on the eyelash line, in the crease of the lid, and under my eye. A dark black liquid marker pen on my top lash line and finally mascara! I'd normally load it on but I was lazy and only did 1 coat. :)

The other part of the look that is just as key as the smokey eye is the tanned-goddess complexion. My skin has been rather spotty lately so I can't do much about that (but pray!) so I just did what I'd do on a normal day. Liquid foundation, mineral veil, and bronzer. Usually I don't wear bronzer but I'm happy I took the risk this time. I pursed my face like a fish and swept bronzer in the concave cheekbone sweeping from under their up towards your temples. It really brings the look together :)

happy beautifying!

OH HAIII! Today my life was pretty calm.

Hannah Darling!

Hannah had great outfit last week that I had to get a picture of. Sadly I didn't have my camera so the picture quality is terrible but you'll get the jist. I made a polyvore edition of it (not the same though.)
