New Addition to the family

2012-02-24T12:34:00.002-08:00

I seriously have a shoe addiction haha. These are my two most recent purchases. I LOVE Sam Edelman! These heels just stood out to me. They both are really head turners thats for sure. Every time I have worn these I always get compliments. Pretty heels make me happy. That's probably why i'm so dang happy all the time.

Have any of you purchased some new kicks lately that your loving?

Hope your having a great day!

Bath time isn't just for kids :)

2012-02-24T12:27:00.003-08:00

I went home for the weekend and couldn't wait to just relax. School is so stressful. I poured my Mr. Bubbles soap in my bathtub and was in there for over an hour. I even caught up on the news. Who ever said bath time is just for kids... was clearly mistaken :)

I encourage all of you to light a candle and take a relaxing long peaceful bath.

Hope your all having a great day!

Lusting over the "Vera Wang "Farrah Dress"

2012-02-08T07:34:00.000-08:00

I am addicted to the show Gossip Girl. Blake Lively who plays character Serena Van Der Woodsen, wore this dress designed by Vera Wang herself and it's called the Farrah dress. I am in love with every aspect of this dress. I love it even more than Blair's wedding dress (Character on Gossip Girl). I honestly didn't care for Blair's dress at all. However, Serena's dress was just breathtaking. I've been lusting over it since I laid my eyes on it. I just had to do a quick post on this dress. What are you lusting over?

Hope your having a great day!

Why i'm so HAPPY? Because of this Bracelet. Get yours HERE

2012-02-06T09:40:00.000-08:00

Every time I look down at my arm I get SOOOO HAPPY!! I mean seriously how gorgeous is this bracelet? As soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it in my life. I posted this picture on Instagram (Smart phone App) & Twitter a few days ago and decided to do a blog post since I had a lot of questions about it.

GOOD NEWS GUYS!!!!!

ARE YOU READY?????

It's only $10.50

What a steal! It looks so much more expensive that it really is.

You can get it at Jcrew.com in the crew cuts (Kids) section HERE. I have tiny arms & wrist so if your like me in that aspect this beautiful bracelet will work great for you too. It comes in several colors but i've been obsessed with metallics and this one is PERFECT. However, I may order all the colors since they are so affordable & adorable.

Mini Review on this bracelet!!!

If you have tiny wrist it will work great for you. It's stays on my arm and doesn't move at all. The glitter does not come off at all. I was worried it would, but I have had 0 problems with that. The bracelet is even more beautiful in real life. HIGHLY RECOMMEND for yourself or as a gift to some one special :)

It was worth every bit of $10.50. It's my new obsession.

Hope your all having a special day

smile you never know whose watching

TREAT YOUR FEET TO A TREAT :)

2012-01-30T11:36:00.000-08:00

I don't know about you girls, but I have seriously been neglecting my feet lately. As much as they do for us!!!! We use them all time time. Sometime mine ever get any sleep. SO I decided to treat my feet to well A TREAT :) haha

Okay okay... Maybe it wasn't completely selfless. I just love getting pedicures. I especially love how pretty my feet look and feel afterwards.

I laugh and giggle soooo hard when they scrub the bottom of my foot. I mean it's awful how bad I laugh. I try to control myself, but it's just impossible. I should film a quick video next time of it. All my friends tell me it's very entertaining.

Do any of you have an extremely ticklish feet like me? haha. If so how do you control it when getting pedicures? I'd love to know your secrets.

Have a great Day!

Return to Tiffany Heart Tag Charm & Bracelet Review

2012-01-18T18:02:00.000-08:00

One of my Christmas presents was this Return to Tiffany heart tag charm and bracelet. I absolutely love it. It's a bit pricy but what at Tiffany and Co isn't right? It came packaged beautifully and it's not to heavy on my arm. It's a very heavy duty metal but does not weigh you down at all. i love having the dangling heart charm. It was worth every penny and I'm so happy with it. It's one of those classic pieces of jewelry that will never go out of style. I also love that it matches everything I own. Hope you are having a great week.

I need you in my life ASAP: Tiffany & Co Bangles

2012-01-14T08:53:00.000-08:00

I don't know what is wrong with me lately. I have been buying jewelry like crazy these past couple of months. My best friend Cristina has been no help with stoping me either. Good friend right? haha! No she is, but she is not helping the situation by any means. She sent me an email with these beautiful bangles & I immediately fell in love. They are so elegant, classy and just so beautiful. However, they do come at a high price tag, but what at Tiffany & Co doesn't? I may have to start saving my pennies for these babies because I need these in my life ASAP.

ENORMOUS Christmas Haul: 2011

2012-01-03T22:54:00.000-08:00

Dear Santa.. My 2011 Christmas List

2011-12-19T21:09:00.000-08:00

This year has been the worst year of my life! I lost my Granny in October and my dad was killed in an accident in November right before Thanksgiving. I'm trying to get into the Christmas spirit, but it's hard sometimes. I have always loved the holidays, but this year is going to be very heartbreaking without my dad and granny. I decided to go ahead and put my Christmas list to Santa together. This is what i'm asking for this year. What's on your list this year?

1. I want Zac Efron Wrapped in a huge box and placed under my tree! I know this is probably a long shot, but he is just PERFECT and YUMMY! HeHe

2. Large TV

3. Charming Pink Chair

4. Bare Minerals Palette. New & want to try these babies so bad! Have heard wonderful things about these.

5. New Iphone 4S in White

6. Victoria Secret Yoga pants. I'm obsessed with these. It's the best thing for me to wear to class and even though your wearing sweats you still look adorable!

7. I have always LOVED Ugg Australia boots. I will spend the money on them because they are so comfortable and warm. I have fallen in love with this new style. The "Channing" and I want these in my life ASAP. I like the fact that they are much more fancier than the traditional Uggs. These are around$300 & a great investment in my opinion. Boots will last a life time if you take care of them. These even say Ugg on them :) You can't put a price on comfort!

8. YSL Lipsticks. I have wanted to try these forever. The packaging is gorgeous! Enough said.

9. I want this Coach bag in Tan. It's called the Madison Leather Lindsey Satchel. It's around $400 but isn't she beautiful! That wasn't a question! It's a FACT!!

10. Anything from Victoria Secret Pink. I am in LOVE with this store! It's like all I want to wear to college classes early in the AM. So comfortable and adorable

11. The new Victoria Secret Angel Perfume is AMAZING!! I sprayed it on while shopping, and WOW!!! I could not get enough of it!! Go smell this & you will understand!! Plus the bottle is beautiful!

12. I want a rose gold Michael Kors watch!

13. Last but not least an IPAD2. I don't need one, but I just want one. They are so pretty and it would look great in my hands.. hehe.

Thats pretty much all I would like for Christmas this year from Santa. Hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday!

Bombshell Hair in under 15 Minutes

2011-11-12T13:19:00.000-08:00

Hey girls! I wanted to do a quick post on my new obsession. It's the curling wand. Mine is from Nume.com AND it's fantastic. These are a few pictures from my new video talking about this wonderful tool. It's pink, and it takes me around 15 minutes to do my whole head. It adds volume and makes your curls look so sexy and beautiful. Whether you have this particular brand wand or another brand it's such a fun tool to add to your collection.

Do any of you reading this have a curling wand or have you used one? What are your thoughts on it?

Ugg Classic Cardy: Be Cozy Be Warm

2011-11-10T13:28:00.000-08:00

I have always been a lover of Uggs. I know some people hate them, but I could care less about what anyone thinks. In the fall and winter I like keeping my feet cute and warm. I love how Uggs never disappoint me. I have several pairs of Uggs and have fallen in love with the Classic Cardy Uggs in grey (Which are the perfect color for winter). I just think they look so cozy and warm. I am planning on going this weekend and purchasing these babies. Uggs are SOOO comfortable, SOOOO cute and SOOO warm!! What more could you ask for? I know they are pricy but you can't put a price on comfort in my book.

What is your favorite style of uggs?

It's going down to 26 degrees tonight! FREEZING!

Hope where ever you are your keeping warm!

Kim K is only human & Who are we to judge?

2011-10-31T16:17:00.001-07:00

All I have been hearing today is people talking about how Kim filed for divorce from Kris today. Every comment on Blogs and Videos are rude, cruel, and unnecessary. What people need to understand is we don't know their relationship or what went on. They are also only human like everyone else on the planet. Sure they may have a little more change in their piggy banks than us, but they are still human beings and have feelings. I swear every comment on blogs I saw were saying things like

*I'm happy that B**** is getting a divorce

*Money can't buy you everything Kim

*I didn't think it would last 2 days

*She's to short, thats why she is getting a divorced

*She did it for fame

*She should of spent that money on charities instead

*Kris is to good for her

Seriously it just goes on and on.. It's kinda sad that with all that is going on in the world that people are so worried about their marriage ending. It's sad and i'm sure it's very painful for both of them. But who are we to judge? We don't know anything. They are people and it's so rude how people can be. The comments to me show nothing but jealously and hatred towards her success. Whether or not your a Kardashian fan you can't argue that they are successful. And most of the haters that leave those nasty comments more than likely watch the show. Every time they watch an episode that money goes into their pocket.

My point on posting this blog is to point out that instead of spreading negativity and pulling people down... We should be compassionate and understanding. Not judge!! We are all only human and none of us are perfect.

I wish nothing but the best for Kim and Kris and hope they both find happiness!

My Style for Fall

2011-10-05T22:23:00.000-07:00

Perfectly Pink Rain Boots & HAPPY FALL

2011-09-24T11:15:00.000-07:00

Fall has officially arrived. This past Friday was the kickoff. Depending on where you live it can still feel like summer. I just moved from Florida for college and it's currently in the mid 90's there. Where I live now it's been in the 50's and 60's. It's seriously such a nice change from the heat!! My college campus is huge and it's been raining a lot lately. I need to invest in a pair of rain boots. In Florida we don't typically wear these at all. Were more of flip flop people haha. But now that i'm living in a completely different climate I think I need to get a pair ASAP. I've found a few pair that I absolutely adore. I posted pictures as always. I'm such a visual person and I wanted to ladies to see them too. Their are not to many pink choices of rain boots on the market right now. But these are the ones that I did find. They are all cute and affordable. Have any of you purchased a new pair of rain boots lately? Or seen any cute ones anywhere? I'm so torn between these three.. DEcisions DEcisions :)

Hope everyone is enjoying their Saturday. I'm currently snacking in front of the TV watching college football. LOVE ME SOME FOOTBALL!!! WAR EAGLE :)

Hello Lovers:My Shoe Heaven

2011-09-10T18:56:00.001-07:00

I've been living in my new city for college for about a two weeks. I didn't pack all my shoes because I didn't know if I would have the space to fit them all. But man did I luck out in my new apartment. I have tons of space!

So, I flew all the way home for the labor day holiday weekend & decided I had to take some of these babies back with me.

I took a picture so you guys could see. I am obsessed with shoes. But I'm a girl and I change my outfit all the time, and need lots of shoe selections. Let me know if you guys want to see a shoe collection video or blog post?!?!

Are any of you obsessed with shoes or have you purchased a new pair that your obsessed with?

My MASTERPIECE for My LOVIE CHELSEA

2011-09-10T14:14:00.000-07:00

One of my best friends Chelsea (THE ONE IN THE MIDDLE) just started at Auburn University. I'm the creative one who is constantly keeping up with trends in our group. She asked me if I would decorate her living room and make it sophisticated, yet still have that feminine touch at the same time. I was delighted. I shopped all day on a Friday for decor and supplies, and Saturday and Sunday I was a busy little Bee :)

The total cost to do the entire living room was $150

I shopped at Target, TJ Max, World Market, Marshalls, Pier One Imports and Home Depot for Paint.

DIY: projects are so much fun. I watch HGTV 24-7 and it gives me so many ideas for inspiration. I took a final picture of Chelsea's living room. She lives in an apartment off of campus. She can paint the walls as long as she paints it back to white when she moves out. But if your living far away from home while your in college like Chelsea and I you want your place to feel like home.

Chelsea was really happy with her living room, and I was thrilled.

My biggest tip for when your designing for others: Really sit down with them and try to in- vision what they are looking for as far as style, texture and color. You want the room to reflect their personality and include those elements in your design selections.

Have any of you decorated a space for a relative, friend or even client? I'm currently help decorate a few of my roommates rooms. I will do a video and take some pictures when the masterpiece is done :)

Have a great weekend

College Apartment Tour: Pink & GIRLICIOUS

Checklist: Moving into College Apartment or Dorm?

2011-08-22T16:41:00.000-07:00

I'm almost completely packed for college. I move in this Saturday and classes start on Monday. Talk about hectic! Moving can be stressful and exciting at the same time. I lived in a dorm freshman year. I had my own private room and bathroom. I was very fortunate considering most freshman have a roommate and share a tiny space. My space was still tiny, but I added cute wall decor and had great storage bins. This year i'm actually transfering to another University about 11 hours from my home in Florida. It's going to be culture shock thats for sure. Although I'm so excited to have a Fall and Winter. Florida doesn't get to experience that at all. I'm moving into an amazing apartment off campus. It's a four bedroom and we each have our own private bathrooms. I have not met my sweet-mates yet. But we all met on Facebook. The apartment complex has a roommate matching site where you can talk with other people who are moving in there too. We all chose to live together, and i'm so excited to meet them. But to make sure I pack everything I made a checklist on items I needed to bring with me. I thought I would share what's on my list. It may help you when your starting college or moving in the future. I tried to think of everything!

2011-08-16T13:39:00.001-07:00

I know most of you have started back high school or college by now. I don't start back until the 29th of August. LUCKY ME! I have been shopping like a crazy girl for fall.

However, they have so many different outfits for so many styles that are put together. It gives you a great idea about how things will look together. Trust me.. It's worth checking out. You will all have to let me know if you find any inspiration from there as well. I hope everyone is having a great day!

Jessica Simpson: My Celebrity Beauty Style Icon

2011-08-14T13:16:00.000-07:00

I have always admired Jessica Simpson. She has been called every name in the book from Ditz, Dumb, boring, Fame whore, stuck up, self absorb, and fat. Well we know she isn't dumb. She is smart and extremely talented. Her clothing line is fabulous. I don't know one woman who doesn't own at least one pair of her shoes. I love her line from Jewelry, handbags, shoes, jeans, dresses, swim suites, perfume and hair extensions.. I would say she's the only one laughing.. ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK! After all the magazines and gossip blogs calling her fat and pretty much just degrading her, she still keeps a positive attitude and a smile on her face. So she has gained a bit of weight people!!!! She's happy and got comfortable. I don't understand why everyone made it such a big deal. She is still the same fabulous person she was before. The thing people don't understand is that weight can be lost. It's pretty easy if your determined. Jessica is a very determined woman and has been hitting the gym hard lately. When I see blogs about her that are all negative and just flat out mean... All it comes down to is ladies who are insecure and unhappy writing hateful things to make themselves feel better. In other words jealously. It's sad that people have to be so cruel because she gained a bit of weight. No ones perfect.. Not Meagan Fox, Opera, me or you. All we can do is be happy with what we have and who we are.

My celebrity beauty style icon is Jessica Simpson. I don't only think she's a great role model, but I love her sense of fashion. She's very girly like me, and not afraid to take risk. She has amazing hair and skin. Her makeup always looks fresh and clean. i'm always recreating looks from her on myself. I posted some pictures of her that I love. She's fabulous and will continue to inspire others for generations to come. Whose your celebrity beauty style icon?

Room Inspiration: Decor & More

2011-08-09T11:28:00.000-07:00

Hey girls. I've been buying decor and furnishings for the past five months. I'm moving away for college into an apartment in three weeks. I can't believe how fast summer flew by. These are some pictures that I have been using to get my inspiration from. I know most of them include a lot of pink.. But I can't seem to get away from pink. I just adore pink. Even if you don't want to do your entire room in pink, you can still have some pink accessories to give yourself that pop of color. These are great pictures to look at to get inspired, and it kinda gives you an idea of how other girls decorate their spaces. I love watching room tours on YouTube for that reason. When I move and get all settled in my apartment I will do a room tour of my new college pad. Another reason I really love these pictures is that even though these rooms are girly..they are still sophisticated and grown up at the same time. I just think decorating your personal space is so much fun. Pictures really help me get ideas and inspiration. If your thinking about redoing and redecorating your space or if your moving into a new place like me.. I hope this post gives you a little inspiration or some ideas on how you can achieve your look. A few great places to look for decor and furnishings that aren't super expensive are Michaels, thrift stores, garage sales ( YES seriously) home goods, TJ MAX, Target, Marshalls, Ross, Flea Markets, Kirklands and Burlington Coat Factory.

Hope your having a great day!

My New Obsession: Row Of Roses Ring

2011-08-07T07:23:00.000-07:00

Hey Girls. I have been OBSESSED with my new Row Of Roses ring. As soon as I saw it, I knew I couldn't live another day of my life without it. I'm pretty much drawn to everything coral anyway.. It's my favorite color. I purchased this little baby from FrancescasCollection. It's one of my FAVORITE boutiques EVER. They have everything from jewelry, clothes, shoes, purses, and much more. They can be pricey, but they have great sales all the time. They also have an online store too. I find that so nice for those that don't have one close by them. I just felt like I had to do a post on my Row of Roses Ring. Every time I look at it.. It just puts a BIG smile on my face and makes me happy. The Row of Roses ring from FrancescasCollection can be purchased HERE. It's $18.00 and worth every penny to me. I have never received so many compliments on a ring till now. Have any of you shopped at FrancescasCollection before?

Hope your enjoying your weekend.

Fall: Riding Boots W/O the awkward Pirate look

2011-08-01T15:57:00.000-07:00

Hey Girls! I had to do a quick post on riding boots. It's officially August 1st. I still can't believe that. Fall is right around the corner. I have been shopping like crazy lately & have been keeping my peepers out for some cute riding boots that don't cost $400. I also am not a big fan of the riding boots that have awkward buckles all over them. I personally think it looks like a pirate.. Which although I am in love with a pirate named Captain Jack Sparrow.. You might have heard about him :) but I just like simple yet classy boots. These are a few that I found, and I think they are all reasonably priced. They are also adorable. I like that they are flat. I am in college and walking all over campus I can't be strutting all over in high heel boots. I always see girls wearing them on campus and i'm thinking OUCH!! I need comfort but still cuteness. I'll save my hotness boots for a night out on the town. But I hope this kinda gives you guys some inspiration. You can find great boots without spending a fortune. I actually purchased the Nordstroms BP Runway boots in both black and Cognac. They are so comfortable and adorable. You can tuck your skinnies into them and have room to spare. They also look cute with dresses. Perfect for fall. Yay for FALL!!! I love that F WORD! haha. It's my favorite season and I just can't wait!

HOLY FAIL: CHANEL PRO LUMIERE FOUNDATION REVIEW

2011-07-30T10:55:00.000-07:00

Hey girls. I'm sorry I've been MIA from the Blogging & YouTube world. I just finished summer school & now have been shopping like a mad woman trying to get ready to move to my new city in August. I have been buying things for my new apartment. Everything from Bedding, Bedroom Decor, Shower curtain, bath accessories, living room wall decor.. And of coarse makeup,clothes, shoes & accessories.. It's been crazy. I will have to do like a bunch of separate hauls when I get some time to sit down & film. I seriously can't believe summer is almost over. It seems like it just flew by. But any-who :) I ran out of my current foundation last week. I loved it, but I wanted to try another brand. That was my New Years resolution to myself.

"To Not Get Stuck In A Rut & Try Other Brands" Basically branch out..I never stick to my New Years resolutions but I am this year! I recently purchased the Soleil Tan De Chanel bronzer & it's in my HOLY GRAIL products now! I thought why not try one of their foundations.. I purchased the Pro Lumiere foundation. I can't even begin to tell you how

disappointed I was with this product. First off it was not cheap, and as soon as I walked outside it was seriously melting off my face.. EWWW!!! It also looked splotchy & the formulation was just weird. I have oily skin, and I felt like this didn't do anything for my combination skin type at all. The only good thing about this foundation is the cute packaging, which i'm a sucker for by the way.. And the scent of this foundation. It smells glamourous haha. It really does. I know many rave & rave about this foundation but for my oily skin it was awful. But Needless to say It's going back and i'm on the search once again for a new foundation. But if any of you have a recommendations please send them my way. In the picture i'm wearing Lancome Tint Idole foundation which I LOVE. It's light, airy, & perfect for summer time. It's in my top 10 Fav's for sure. Hope everyones having a great Saturday!

2011-07-17T15:37:00.000-07:00

Hey girls. I couldn't use random.org like I usually do for contest this time. I felt bad because I had received messages & comments from so many saying they didn't have a blog or know how to create one. Some even made one & couldn't figure out how to leave their comment on my blog. Needless to say I had to sit down with my friend SerenaStar1022 on YouTube AKA: Cristina and we got out a pen & paper and wrote down all the entries from my Blog and comments that were written on videos and messages I received as other entries. We did it the old fashioned way... We put all the names into a shoe box & we had Cristina's boyfriend randomly draw two names out of it.

Prize #1 goes to Kirsty Konczal PS: We literally were sitting down trying to figure out how to pronounce your last name. It's very unique :)

Prize #2 goes to Beer Budget Fashionista .

Congratulations girls. Message me your shipping information & I can get those out to you ASAP.

FYI: I plan on having more fun contest like this soon. If you guys have any fun giveaway ideas throw them my way. :)

Hope everyone had a great weekend.

My New Nike Lunarfly's & Bedazzled Toes

2011-07-13T11:30:00.000-07:00

I know feet aren't typically the most beautiful things on the planet.. But This past weekend in Palm Beach I had an amazing pedicure. I typically do the french manicure on my toes. I know some think it's gross, but I happen to find it fabulous. However, I felt like I wanted to try something different. I really fell in love with this baby blue color which is perfect for Summer time. But I also wanted some sort of design to make it pop even more. My feet look so GLAMOROUS. I honestly can't stop staring at them.I added this awesome jewel to make them even more GLAMOROUS!

I also went in Sports Authority (Which I LOVE) to get some tennis balls. I walked right by the shoe department & saw these babies. Let me just say "IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT." I have been needing some new kicks for running. I have like 6 pairs of Nike shocks, but they are not good running shoes at all. These are called the Nike Lunarfly and they are so comfortable. They are sold out online at Nike but I found them on Zappos HERE They come in so many different colors, but this color SCREAMS CANDACE!

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Favorite Brushes For Applying Cream Bronzers & Cream Blushes

2011-07-12T12:55:00.000-07:00

Hey pretty girls! These past few months I have converted myself from powder blushes & powder bronzers to cream blushes & cream bronzers. I never thought I would like cream products, but boy was I wrong. They are so easy to apply and look incredible. You end up with a much more flawless finish using cream products. I have a ton of makeup brushes, but my favorite ones for applying cream products is the Sigma Angles Top Kabuki. It's the F84 and it's from the Sigmax Collection. As you can see it has the perfect angle, which is ideal for creating those high cheekbones that most girls love. I use the brush to apply my cream blushes. It's very easy to clean and I have had 0 problems with fallout. It's been the best purchase I have ever made. You can get this little guy at Sigma HERE.

Now I have been obsessed with these two BH Cosmetics brushes. They are a powder & blush brush. BH Cosmetics was so generous & sent me the 10 piece deluxe set. These two brushes are simply amazing. They are so dense, light and airy. I use these brushes when applying my cream bronzers like my Soleil tan de Chanel. Out of all my brushes these two BH Cosmetics ones are my ultimate favorite. Again, I had no problems with fallout and they are super easy to clean. Unfortunately, these two brushes aren't available for individual purchase. But you can get the whole set HERE. They are having a special right now too. Instead of $39.95.. It's $29.96. If you want me to do a tutorial on how I apply cream blushes & bronzers using these brushes let me know. They honestly make doing your makeup more fun. Having great brushes really can change the whole look of your makeup, and it just makes you feel great!

Hope your enjoying your Tuesday! Whose Excited for Pretty Little Liars tonight? I am :)

My new Tory Burch & Palm Beach Getaway

2011-07-09T13:03:00.000-07:00

It's been a stressful week. If you are subscribed to be on YouTube you will know why! But i'm not going to get into all that. I needed to get away & clear my head. My friend Chelsea decided we needed to get away & go stay at her parents vacation condo in Palm Beach, Florida. We walked into Nordstroms & Palm Beach has the BEST Nordstroms EVER! I saw this beautiful Tory Burch bag & instantly fell in LOVE! I felt like after my crazy week that I deserved it. Isn't it fabulous? I went with a light tan because it will match everything & be a perfect addition to my fall collection. I also picked up the cutest little cardigan from Nordstroms. It's bp and I simply love that brand. I'll do an OOTD picture of what it looks like on soon. I included some pictures that I took at Chelsea's parents vacation condo. It's so beautiful here. I can't believe i'm moving from Florida in the fall for college. Leaving all my family & friends will be so hard. But I just wanted to do a quick post showing you guys my new baby and the spectacular views i'm looking at right now! I hope you are having a great weekend too!

Sedona Lace 12 Piece Brush Set Review

2011-07-08T22:13:00.000-07:00

Hey girls! Last week I won a contest that @ Sedona Lace was having. I won the 12 piece professional makeup brush set, and choose it in pink. I have been wanting to try these brushes out forever, but i'm a broke college student and You know how that goes! But I am so happy with the quality of these brushes. First off the pink set is gorgeous and has a really pretty glossy color pink to it. I washed all the brushes with my brush cleaner which you can buy HERE

There was a bit of shedding, but that's always normal at first. I have been using them constantly & am kicking myself for not ordering them sooner. I have many makeup brushes and love when I find brushes that work so well. Especially when the PRICE IS RIGHT! The Sedona Lace brush sets cost $59.95 and they come in classic black or baby pink. I took some pictures, so you guys can see them. It came packaged so well. It also includes a pamphlet that gives you instructions on how to care for your brushes, and information on what each brush is used for. I think that's so helpful for beginners. The brush roll is very durable and it's very similar to Sigmas. I have been a lover of Sigma brushes for the past two years now. However with that said.. In my honest opinion if I needed a new set of brushes and was torn between the two companies.. I would go with Sedona lace. My reason for that is because the brushes are almost identical, and you get that same result. Sigma brush roll is $99.00 and Sedona Lace sells theirs for $59.95. I'm all about getting great quality makeup items and I feel with Sedona lace i'm not only getting a good deal, but i'm also getting great brushes too. It's a win win for me. You guys should check out Sedona lace on twitter. They have contest running all the time. If I can win so can you!!!! :) If you have tried Sedona lace let me know what you think about their brushes! I hope you guys have a great weekend.

Your Next Laptop Should Be: An Apple Macbook Pro

2011-07-06T22:08:00.000-07:00

Hey Gorgeous girls! I felt like I had to do a post on buying laptops. The fall is right around the corner.. YAY! Can't wait. Fall is my favorite season! But many like me are starting back up college, high school or maybe a new job. All through high school I had Dell and HP Laptops. I constantly had problems with getting viruses and it would take forever to load a page on the internet. It was aggravating using my laptop. Needless to say I'm not a fan of PC"S at ALL! My next store neighbor is an avid believe in Apple. I love Apple too. The Apple products that I personally own are the IPOD Classic, IPOD Shuffle, IPOD NANO, IPHONE3G, IPHONE4 and a IPOD Touch. I have never had an issue with any of my apple products. He urged me to get a MacBook Pro for college. I weighed the pro's and cons and researched it all over the internet. I have to say it has been the BEST BIRTHDAY GIFT I HAVE EVER RECEIVED! I thought it would be hard going from a PC to a MAC. I was so wrong. It took me a day to learn this operating system. I have never had any issues at all with it yet. (Knock on Wood) But many of my friends have Mac's and they LOVE theirs too. I know they are not the cheapest laptops, but they last and they are worth every penny. Save your Pennies ladies! This laptop will not disappoint you at all. I even added this adorable pink case on mine to protect the aluminum. You can check the case out HERE. It comes in so many different colors and protects your laptop. Of coarse I choose Pink.. It's my signature color! I just am so happy to have a laptop that doesn't constantly break down and needs to be fixed. My Macbook pro is reliable and never lets me down. I honestly will never buy another laptop that isn't Apple. I wish someone would have urged me to go with Apple a long time ago. I have gone through so many PC's and wasted a lot of money with purchasing them and having the fixed. Apple all the way! Oh and good news too. If your a college student and buy a Macbook from the Apple store. You get a $100 gift card to the APP Store! That's pretty awesome! Do any of you have or have had Apple Laptops? I always love hearing what you guys think. Hope wherever you are in the world right now that your smiling.. and enjoying your life! It's so precious!

Casey Anthony: Verdict's In: "NOT GUILTY"

2011-07-05T15:11:00.000-07:00

Living in Orlando, Florida I have been watching this case from DAY 1. This case has went GLOBAL and has touched the lives of so many. We all want to know what happened to Little Caylee Anthony? We still don't know and sadly probably never will. We are all going to have our different views about what actually happened or if she did in fact murder her daughter Caylee. The prosecution had nothing but "CIRCUMSTANTIAL" evidence from the get go. Although, Casey's actions such as going 31 days without reporting your child is missing, Out partying and having a good time and telling one lie after another doesn't look good. However with that said that is not a reason to convict someone for murder. The jury made their decision (NOT GUILTY) because of the lack of evidence. Putting our differences aside Casey Marie Anthony is about to be a FREE woman. If she is in fact guilty she will be the one answering to GOD the day she arrives at his gates. The question I have now is where will Casey Anthony go now? Back home to her parents with her father George who she claimed molested her? Living in Orlando you hear rumors.. I heard that she will be going to stay with one of her lawyers while she figures out what to do from here.

She doesn't have the biggest fans around here in Orlando, Florida, and since this case has gone global I don't think she has many fans anywhere. Everyone knows her face. The verdict was just announced five hours ago.. And driving down the road an hour ago I saw about 15 Billboards in Orlando on I4 saying CASEY ANTHONY: NOT GUILTY already! That's crazy in that short amount of time. I know that Caylee is in heaven, and although she died to soon she is in a much better place. R.I.P. Caylee and Have a happy life Casey. I hope you have the time of your life if your truly innocent. We the people will never know the complete truth. Unless, Casey sells her story which would anyone even believe a word of it?

Saturday Makeup Shopping List

2011-06-24T20:08:00.000-07:00

Hey lovies! I feel like I haven't blogged in forever and it's only been a week. It's Friday night and it's rainy & gross in Orlando. Needless to say.. I'm staying in! I'm planning on getting up early to go shopping. I made a shopping list of what I need to get. I decided to share it with you gals!

1. Soleil Tan De Chanel Bronzing Makeup Base- Everyone raves & raves about this product. I have come to the conclusion to splurge & get this for myself. It's unavailable to purchase online for some reason on Chanel, Bloomingdales, Nordstroms.. EVERYWHERE! But luckily they have one in stock at my Macys. I can't wait to try this product out. I will let you all know if it stands up to my standards or not!

2. MUFE HD Powder- I have tried this product many times & ran out. I love it, because it sets my foundation and eliminates oil! A HOLY GRAIL for sure!!!

3. OPI "Cajun Shrimp" Okay, so i kinda feel like i'm cheating on Zoya! Shhh don't tell! But this color is beautiful, and my fingers can't wait to be dipped into this amazing color! This little baby is definitely coming home with me!

4. Makeup Forever HD Cream Blush- This is a new one for me. I have always loved powder blushes, but I decided to give a cream blend blush a try. I'm honestly torn between this MUFE one or a Mac one. Have any of you tried these and if so what are your thoughts? I have extremely oily skin, so i'm a little nervous to try these. But I know other girls who have oily skin like me and they love them.

5. Lancome Teint idole foundation- I have been using this foundation for about two months and have fallen in love! This super lightweight makeup that has the feel of a tinted moisturizer with the better coverage of a foundation. It provides 18-hours of shine-free wear and it comes in a convenient tube. It gives you weightless-yet-moderate coverage that instantly minimizes the look of pores and imperfections. It keeps your complexion flawless and shine-free from morning until night for a full 18 hours even under humidity and perspiration. It's a HOLY GRAIL of mine for sure now! Highly recommend this product. I'm almost out which is why I'm picking up another in the AM. The only con I would say is the packaging. I typically like glass bottles, but i'll get over it lol.

6. St. Tropez self tanning bronzing mouse- I have not tried this product. I have been a huge fan of the Sunlabs and everyone is telling me this is a must have. I thought i would give this a try and see how I like it for myself.

That's whats on my list for tomorow! What's on yours? Any new products your loving?

How I stay slim* My Diet for Summer

2011-06-16T17:09:00.000-07:00

Everyone always asks me how I stay so slim, so I thought I would do a post about what I eat. I maintain a very healthy lifestyle. I work out by myself about 4 times a week, and i'm also a cheer coach as well. These are the things I pretty much live off in the summer time. The key is to eat small meals throughout the day. This helps so you don't overeat at dinner time. I think it's also important not to eat past 6pm. The experts like Dr. Oz say 5pm, but Ii'm usually not home that early.

I let myself have fast food once a week if I want it. Subway is one of the best choices health wise. I won't go to Mc'Donalds or Burger King although I am a sucker for Mc'Donalds french fries lol. But they are so bad for you. I'm not saying you can't have them at all. You can eat whatever you want as long as you WORK OUT. I don't know why celebrities make so many girls think that if you take this (MAGICAL PILL) you will wake up thin... It's a load of crap! Those celebrities are getting paid & making money. They have to sell it to you and feed you that garbage. Don't believe it. If you eat right and get some physical activity you will start noticing results. You will also feel better about yourself too.

MY FAVORITE FOODS FOR SUMMERTIME!! (Not going to name all of them) I included pictures of them all. Thats pretty much what I eat during the summer time and work out. I feel great and love the way I look. It's not conceited.. You are what you eat and I feel YUMMY :) What are your favorite summer foods that keep you slim?

Kardashian Fashion & Trash Talk

2011-06-15T19:18:00.001-07:00

I don't know about you ladies, but I love the Kardashians! They have such an amazing style and are just a real family. They are by no means perfect and they don't claim to be. There are so many hateful blogs and magazines that bash them. They make mistakes just like everyone else and I think the people who write that garbage are clearly jealous. I mean who doesn't want to be a Kardashian? Kim just signed a contract to sell her wedding pictures for 1 billion dollars!!!!!!! WOW!! Can you imagine? I just fine the Kardashains entertaining and real. I like that they don't try to please everyone. They are who they are and they don't care what people think about them. Many call Kim and Khloe fat and say they have had plastic surgery. One they are not fat.. It's called having curves. Curves are sexy and i LOVE mine. Second if they did have plastic surgery who cares? I mean it's 2011 and almost everyone I know has had something done. Get with times people! They have great confidence and I think that's what makes them so likable and enjoyable to watch. The whole family is entertaining. We have gotten to know all the Kardashians, but I would love to see a reality show of Kendall & Kylie. We don't really know to much about those two. I just find the Kardashians to be fabulous and although they aren't perfect.. I still find them to be great role-models. It's okay not to be perfect. Your going to make mistakes. That's normal! Ultimately making those mistakes are what turn you into the person you will become. I posted some of my favorite Kardashian OOTD's! Which one is your favorite?

Pretty Little Liars Premier Tonight!! Who's Excited?

2011-06-14T10:00:00.000-07:00

I'm so excited for the premier of Pretty Little Liars. This show has had me hooked since day one! I LOVE everything about this show. I just wish I could figure out who A is! It's driving me crazy. I personally think A needs a slap in the face lol. One thing I love about ABC Family VS: the CW is that they have my favorite shows offered during the summer time. I just wonder what is going to happen this season? I also love the fashion in this show. All the girls are dressed so adorable and maybe it will give us a sneak peak of trends that are coming for the fall. I just think their stylist for the show do a great job at dressing and accessorizing them.

But i'm so excited for tonights premier. Are any of you Pretty Little Liars addicts like me? Don't lie? :)

ABC Family's New Show (Switched at Birth)

2011-06-14T09:54:00.000-07:00

I have watched the first two episodes, and I LOVE this show. It's just so real and I have fallen in love with the characters. I can't even imagine what it would be like to find out I was switched at birth. I swear ABC Family has some of the best shows on television from Pretty Little Liars, Secret Life, and now this one. If you missed the first two episodes you can watch them on ABCFamily.com for FREE :) It airs on Monday nights after the Secret Life. Did I mention the guys in this show are HOT! I think so anyway. I can't wait to see where this show goes? Did any of you get a chance to watch this show?

Secret Life Of The American Teenager

2011-06-14T09:39:00.000-07:00

The Secret Life has become one of my favorite television shows. I still can't believe ABC Family can air a show like this. This show has no limits. It's gone anywhere from cheating, teen sex, having babies, gay marriage, teens getting married, and talking about types of foreplay. I jus t thought ABC family was a kids channel kinda like Disney. I would just think this type of show would be aired on FOX or the CW. I think ABC family has come a long way. They have stepped up their game and have some of the top shows. Secret Life is one of them. It's my guilty pleasure and I look forward to it every week. I don't know what i'm going to do when it ends. If you have never seen The Secret Life I strongly encourage you go rent all the seasons and watch them. I cried like a baby in last weeks episode when Adriennes baby passed away. Her acting was incredible, and I was blown away. She nailed her character that day. I was actually sobbing. Even after the show I was still crying lol. I just wanted to do a quick post & rave about this show. Are any of you addicted to the secret life like I am? I wonder how the season will end? Any thoughts?

Meet Up In Orlando, Florida

2011-06-04T08:35:00.001-07:00

Hey Beauties! I have gotten a lot of emails lately asking if I would ever consider a meet-up with other Youtube gurus in the Orlando area. I actually met one of my subscribers Anna in San Francisco, California last year when I was on vacation. It was a lot of fun. I decided to see if there was anyone in the Orlando, Florida area who wanted to possibly do a meet-up this summer. I was thinking dinner and a bit of shopping. We could film a Vlog, and it would be great to get to meet you! Let me know if any of you are interested. I get so busy during the Fall and spring because of college. And i'm actually moving in August out of Florida and transferring to another University, so after August I won't be in Orlando to do a meet-up. But I hope you guys are having a Fabulous Saturday!

My Summer Essentials!

2011-06-01T14:04:00.000-07:00

I know it's not technically officially SUMMER yet till June 21st. But it's in the high 90's where I live and i'm on Summer vacation! It's officially SUMMERTIME in my mind. I decided to do a post on my Summer Essentials! If your reading you will have to tell me yours! I like to show pictures of my essentials. I'm a visual person, and I love actually seeing the idea brought to life! I hope you guys enjoy!

1. Cute Pink Pool float! I love this one especially because when you lay on it half of your body will be in the water. Which helps gives you more sun if that's what you want. Plus it keeps you cool. Laying out on a chair can get boring and make you so dang HOT! This is great for laying out and cooling off on those hot summer days!

2. My new kicks! Perfect for going out at night with your love or even with the girls! Love my polish too! Zoya Zoya Zoya! I HEART you! :)

3. I LOVE smoothies! Especially when your at the beach.

4. Flip Mino HD: I LOVE my on the go camera. It's great for capturing those moments you want to hold on to forever! For me.. that would be my Granny!

5. Sookie Stackhouse Books! I know it's summer, but a good book will help keep your brain in top shape! Plus these books are amazing!

6. Cute heels and Wedges! LOVE LOVE LOVE!

7. Sun In! YES it works and it's fantastic! If you want free highlights & don't want to pay $100 to your stylist then get this! It's affordable and works wonders! Saves you time too from chopping up lemons!

8. Hawaiian tropic sunscreen and tanning formula in one! It's fabulous and protects your skin from harmful rays but still helps you get color at the same time!

9. Nivea body moisturizers! I have been using them for years. Makes your skin feel wonderful and they are a must have after you have been in the sun all day! I love the Beautiful legs one. It's a self tanner too. It gives you that Jennifer anniston GLOW that we all LOVE!

10. Faux Tan: My HOLY GRAIL sunless tanner. It smells AMAZING and the results are fantastic. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this product! If you don't tan easy or like the sun.. This will give you that tan without the long term wrinkles!

11. Vera Bradley Travel duffle in "Call me Coral" My favorite color too! I love this travel bag. It's big and the pattern is gorgeous! I travel a lot and this bag would come in so handy. It's on sale too! I'm planning on purchasing one ASAP!

11. Zoya nails! I love having bright colorful nails during the summer time. This is my Zoya collection. I LOVE Zoya's line. It last and the colors are beautiful! I believe each bottle is $8.00, but they have promotions all the time, so watch for those!

12. Blender! Must have for making those yummy smoothies for you and your friends while at the beach or pool! My mouth's watering just thinking about it. Or if your at a resort just have a yummy cabana worker bring you one pool side! :) That works too!

13. NorthFace Rain jacket. You never know when rain will strike. This is the one I have and love it! It fits perfectly in all my bags!

14. Insulated tumbler and Coozies! Keeps your drinks cold and I love these designs. They really brighten my mood!

15. Hair ties! Every girls needs these! Enough said! I like the Goody ones, because they don't break your hair or leave those gross marks at the top of your hair! Yuck!

16. Pink & green beach tote! Every girl needs a beach bag. I love the colors of this one. My two favorite colors!

17. Adorable beach towel! I love accessorizing with different beach towels! They just put a big smile on my face!

18. Pink lip glass or glosses! I love the ones by Mac. They feel great and the color selection is fantastic. They are small and don't take up too much room. But pink lips are gorgeous and a summer must have!!

That's my little blog post on that! What are your summer essentials? I hope you all are having a great day!

Searching For The Perfect Shower Curtain...

2011-05-26T20:49:00.001-07:00

I'm moving to my new city for college in the fall. I already have a shower curtain, but I've gotten board with my current one. I'm sure y'all know what i'm referring to. A girl just needs a change every now and again. I've decided that I don't want my bathroom decor to match my room. I think i'll like that fact that each is decorated differently. I want my bathroom to look girly, but at the same time still look grown up and classy if that makes sense. These are a few pictures of shower curtains that are at the top of my list right now. I would say that my top two favorite are the Brown and pink shower curtains. I just find them to be girly, upscale looking and gorgeous all at the same time. You wouldn't think picking out a shower curtain could be such a big decision.. but it turns out it really is. Girls typically spend a lot of time in their bathrooms, and I find that having the right shower curtain can really brighten your mood. If your reading you will have to let me know which one you like, or leave a comment with a link to a shower curtain that you love. I would love hearing what your thoughts are and what shower curtains you love.

Dancing With The Stars Finale

2011-05-26T11:05:00.000-07:00

I have been a HUGE fan of DWTS since season one! This season was full of surprises. In the finals we had Chelsea Kane, which in my opinion was hands down the best dancer. Then we have kirstie Alley, and I absolutely adore her. I have always been a HUGE fan of hers. She's just so real. It's like what you see is what you get. I think America just loves her too. She's just that type of person who could cheer you up and make you laugh in seconds. I have to say congratulations to her. She did so well, and tried so hard. I still can't get over that she's 60 years old. She looks incredible! What an inspiration she is to so many. Then we come to Hines Ward. He just smiles and it lights up the whole room. Who knew he could shake his booty like that!! Hines is so down to earth, and you can tell he just loves life. All three of these amazing candidates deserved to be in the finals. They all were amazing dancers. They all got "PERFECT 10's" during the finale too. But combining the judges scores in with America's votes.......

Hines Ward ultimately won!!!! I think they are all winners, and this season had a very unforgettable and enjoyable cast. I can't wait for DWTS to start in the fall. I wonder who the stars will be? If any of you have watched DWTS this season I'd love to hear your thoughts! And for those of you who don't... Your missing out!

The Lotion That Stole My Heart

2011-05-22T12:07:00.000-07:00

I recently just got back from vacation. One of the Resorts I stayed at was the Westin. Most hotels & resorts leave shampoo, conditioner, and body lotions in your bathroom for you to use. I immediately fell in LOVE with their White Tea aloe body lotion. It is honestly hands down the BEST lotion I have ever used in my life. No JOKE! I'm so happy that you can purchase it online

@ http://www.westin-hotelsathome.com/category.aspx?&category1=Bath&category1Name=bath&category2=BathBody&category2Name=&category3=WhiteTea&category3Name=White+Tea+Aloe&categoryLevel=2

It's 14.00 for 7oz. I still have some bottles, but I love it so much I have to by more. I think I may give some of these away for birthday presents for friends and family. They say that the best gift you can give is something that you would want. I wish you guys could jump in the picture and smell it for yourself. It's unlike anything I have ever smelled. I typically am not a big fan of lotions. Most of the time they make me feel greasy, sticky, smelly, or uncomfortable. The white tea aloe lotion that Westin makes leaves you feeling soft, relaxed, Sexy if you can believe that, and it just puts you in the best mood. It's crazy that a lotion can have that affect on you. But it really does, and I'm sold! I would highly recommend trying this amazing lotion. It will not disappoint you one bit. If any of you have tried it let me know your thoughts. I may order a few bottles and go a Blog giveaway for one. I just want one of you to try this wonderful lotion and then you can see why it's completely stolen my heart!

Hope you are all having a great day!

College Dorm/Apartment Bedding & Bath Ideas!

2011-05-15T13:16:00.000-07:00

Going away to college can be so exciting and yet scary at the same time. Most students end up leaving home and going away to school. Whether your going to be living in a dorm or or an apartment on or off campus, you want your room to feel like home. Most dorm rooms are very bland and you can't paint the walls. Luckily, with the right accessories and furnishings you can transform that space into something Spectacular!

I'm starting college in the fall, and

have been searching for the perfect

bedding. I'm really leaning towards

the Pink & Green theme. I just absolutely love those colors together. They are fun and girly. It will surely brighten anyones mood! I have searched high & dry for decorating ideas. I have a bunch of pictures and hopefully this will get you inspired, and possibly give you some ideas as well.

These are just furnishings I happen to really adore, and I think these colors look great together. These are real pictures of actual college students. I love how these ladies incorporated different colors and patterns together. Decorating is all about expressing yourself, and I think they all did a great job. From my personal experience some of the best places to find affordable room decor and furnishings is Ross, TJ Max, Marshalls, JC Penny, Bed Bath & Beyond, Linens & Things, PB Teen, Garnet Hill, Target, Kirklands, and Wake Up Frankie. Department stores like Nordstroms, Macys, and Dillards also have a good selection and frequently have sales. So watch for those too!!

I hope you guys are having a great Sunday!

Current Loves*New Foundation, Nails, and Room Decor!

2011-04-26T14:33:00.000-07:00

This month I have been obsessed with my new foundation. It's by Lancome and it's called Teint Idole Fresh Wear. I got it in shade "Bisque 0W" It goes on so smoothly and a little bit goes a long way. It is a full coverage foundation, and it's great for ladies with super oily skin like me! Estee Lauder double wear is my HOLY GRAIL foundation, but it saddens me to say that it's been breaking me out like a mad woman! I thought it was time for a change, so we broke up! It's really hard because we have been together for years and years! I honestly don't know what went wrong! Haha. But after using the Teint Idole by Lancome I have noticed a HUGE difference in my skin. It's back to it's clear self, and thats how I like it. I also have to give credit to my Clarisonic. That little guy is my night and shining armor! With that being said I would definitely recommend going into a department store and trying a sample of this foundation! I'm so picky about my foundations, and if I'm saying I like it then you know it's good.

I have always loved Zoya nail polish period! They are seriously the best out there. My Zoya collections is quite large! I change my nail color quite often! I recently uploaded a Zoya video introducing Zoya's Summertime. I didn't have time to do individual swatches all in that video. So as promised I will do swatches gradually as I get time. I have been OBSESSED with the color "Mira" It's a rich purple with no shimmer. It's Matte, and has definitely caught the eye of many of my classmates! It's a must have for 2011! Even though it says it's a summer color I will definitely be wearing this lil guy in the Fall as well. I took a lil snap shot of what it looks like on my nails! I LOVE it!

I LOVE my Coach New Poppy Graffiti Appliqué Glam Tote. It's seriously the best purchase I EVER made. It cheers me up every time I carry it. I love all the gorgeous details and it just screams Candace! I have never had more compliments on a handbag than this one. Another plus is this bag was limited edition. They only made about 1,0000 of these babies. You can't get this bag anywhere which I kinda like. I honestly hate seeing 500 other girls carrying the same bag I have. I wish all handbag companies did this. True Story. My BFF was in a bidding wore on ebay for this bag a couple of weeks ago. It was used and slightly dirty. She ended up loosing the bag to another bidder. The bid went for $390 for a used purse. She was disappointed, but I told her she could carry it anytime she wanted too. Haha! I'm such a good friend. As long as I can raid her closet it's all good! That's true friendship right there!

I've also been LOVING my hair curled. It's so fun and really creates a glamourous look. I need to do a tutorial on how I do mine. I took a picture with my IPHONE.. Hints the quality, but you get the point. Big Hair is definitely SEXY!

Last But not least! I am so excited!!

I was sent this beautiful customized letter. It's obviously a C for Candace! It was painted pink and green, because that is going to be my new room theme when I move away in the fall. It was made for by Lindsey. She has her own little shop on etsy.com

Here is the link to her shop http://www.etsy.com/people/lnvanors?ref=ls_profile

It's so adorable and affordable. I think these letters would be so cute on your Wall, Bathroom, or dorm. She can customize them for you. Also for all my Subscribers on YouTube and followers on my BLOG she is offering 5% OFF your entire order is you use code "YOUTUBE" My letter cost $14.00 and guess what??? She ships to INTERNATIONAL TOO! So no one gets left out! I hung my letter in my bathroom, and It cheers me up every morning when i'm getting ready for class. You should check out all her other designs! She is so talented and honestly such a sweet girl!

That's my little Blog Post for Today! I hope you all are having a great day!

Candace!

UPDATE* Vacation, Exciting Changes & New Beginnings!

2011-04-25T13:53:00.000-07:00

Hey Lovies!

I'm sorry I haven't had time to make any videos lately, so I thought I would sit down and do a BLOG post. I thought this lil cartoon looked just like me.. Just take out those brown eyes and replace them with big BLUE ones! :) This is the last week of school, and then I have finals. Then it's officially Summer time. Although I'm taking two summer classes, but they will only last a month. I so need a break. I'm going on vacation in two weeks as soon as finals are over. I'm going to Texas for a mother daughter trip. Mom and I always go on mother daughter trips together. I'm so excited, because I love traveling, and I honestly just need a breather from school. I plan on filming a HONEY POT every day i'm on vacation. Whats a HONEY POT? It's "A Day In The Life Of Candace!" I love watching these types of videos. I need to do a haul soon. I have purchased quite a few new things, but just have no time to sit down and film. I have some exciting news though! I'm transferring to another University in the fall. I just got my apartment and it's gorgeous. I will have three other suite-mates. I call them suites-mates, because I think it sounds so much cuter than roommate. I just watched the roommate the other day.. OMG! It will make you never want one lol! But anyway as soon as I move and get settled in I will do an apartment tour video. I'm planning on getting all new decor and bed furnishings for my space. I really want to do the pink and green theme. I have been loving pink & green this year! I'm currently searching for new bedding and accessories for my room. If you guys see anything please let me know. The university i'm transferring to is far away from Florida. I'm sad to leave all my friends and family. It will be hard to leave when the time comes, but I'm excited for a new adventure! It's like i'm starting a new chapter in my life. I have a new major and i'll be in a new city. I'm upset because my apartment wont allow pets, which means Kroll my lil birdy can't come! :( But I know he'll be well taken care of by my mom! When I move to my new city, I will have to see if anyone in the area wants to do a meet up? That would be so much fun! I can already tell you guys that my April Favorites is going to be late!!! But I will get it up sometime! :) Hope everyone is having a great day despite the fact that's it Monday.. I only like Mondays for one reason! My shows 90210, Gossip Girl, and Secret Life!! Yay! They are my guilty pleasures!!!

Lilly Pulitzer♥Sorority Fashion & Advice For Rushing!

2011-04-18T16:56:00.000-07:00

Hey Lovies! I am so excited about moving to a new city to start at a new University. I am planning on rushing in the fall. I have had a lot of questions as to what to wear. Joining a sorority can cost a lot of money. You have dues due every semester, and you definitely want to look the part. Your appearance is huge is getting a bid. Don't get me wrong that's not all it's about, but you want to look your best. A few tips I have would be to dress classy. Brands like Lilly Pulitzer, J.Crew, Banana Republic, and Ralph Lauren are perfect. You don't want to show to much skin or cleavage. You want to look classy and clean. Have a great attitude and be yourself. Don't gossip about other sororities, this makes you look bad to your potential sisters. You want to make an impression, and show them you would be a great fit in their sorority. As far as makeup goes "LIGHT and Natural" is the best way to go. Your potential sorority sisters want to see your natural beauty. I may do a video on sorority makeup soon. I have been OBSESSED with Lilly Pulitzer's 2011 collection. I could just hug that lil lady so tight! :) These are a few of the dresses I love & will be purchasing for Rush week. This should give you some idea on possibilities to wear. I have definitely become a Lilly Lover! I also attached a few cute pair of lilly sandals and an adorable bag. These are my must haves!!! I plan on doing a HUGE Lilly Haul Soon! :)

My College Apartment Tour

2011-04-10T15:05:00.000-07:00

After living in the dorms for a semester I had enough! Dorm life was awful! I begged my parents to get me my own college apartment! Us girls can be very persuasive! I took these pictures over Christmas & decided to do a Blog post showing you guys how I decorated. I am really into the whole wine theme, so I tried to tie that into my decor. Decorating your own place is so much fun. It gave me a chance to make the place my own. I found that the best places to find adorable and affordable home decor is TJ Max, Target, Ross, Marshalls, Kirklands, Linens & Things, & Michaels. Those places are great for girls who want to express themselves on a budget, but still have it look adorable. I personally love seeing how other girls decorate their college apartments. I'm thinking of starting a website where girls can go and post their pictures of their rooms or whole apartments. I think it would give so many girls decorating ideas. I know when I was looking for ideas I couldn't hardly find any on the internet. I also am thinking about staring to take pictures of my friends rooms & posting them too. That way you can see how other college girls decorate their rooms too. We all have different styles & that's what makes it so much fun.
