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!

HOLY FAIL: CHANEL PRO LUMIERE FOUNDATION REVIEW

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!

(Contest Closed) & Winners

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

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!
