Jessica Simpson: My Celebrity Beauty Style Icon

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


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
























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
































































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!
