Long Time, No See!

Hi everybody!

Sorry I took a little hiatus there for a minute.  I've been into a lot!

 Here's what I wore on Valentine's Day!

I've had this tie dye dress for years, and I've only pulled it out one other time for Halloween.  I decided it was time to bust it out this past February 14th!  I also made that flower crown that I'm wearing.  I'm pretty proud of it. 

I'm absolutely obsessed with my new Betty Bright lipstick from Mac.  My sister bought it for me, just because!

My dad bought me a sketch book a while back, and I've finally gotten around to using it.  I decorated it, and drew a few quick drawings. 

 As you all know,  I've been collecting these small Modella clutches that I've found at Walmart.  Well, I finally got around to decorating them!  I Gorilla Glue-d small daisies on the clear/black clutch, and for the pink one, I used a bow that came with a perfume set I got for Valentine's Day!  I also made another floral headband with a ribbon instead of wire, like I usually do.

 For the purple one, I used heart-shaped 5-prong studs that I purchased from EatSleepCraft on Etsy!

Now I only have two left to DIY!

Lastly, I've started a portrait of my grandfather.  I use the Chuck Close approach with squares, but I put my own little twist on it by scribbling with a 6B pencil instead of painting!

I'm hoping to finish this picture (which is his high school senior picture) and begin on a picture of him now, in his eighties!

Well, that's about it! You're all caught up!

Treat Yourself Tuesday: Pink Edition

Since I didn't get to have a TYST last week, I went all out yesterday and treated myself to a few different things!

This is the first thing I treated myself to:

As some of you may know, I've become completely obsessed with these Modella see-through bags.  I think they might be for makeup or lipstick or something, but I use them as clutch purses.  I don't think I posted a picture of my collection, so here it is:

The second thing I treated myself to was velvet lipstick from a new brand called Flower.  I'm not sure if it's through Covergirl or not, but it was in their section.  I'm completely in love with this lipstick.

The color is actually more of a hot pink like this:

The final things I treated myself to are two new nail polishes that I thought were perfect for Valentine's Day!

The color on the left is by Pure Ice and is called "Keep Walking," and the one on the right is by Revlon and is called "Girly."  I mixed it up a little bit and used both on my fingers.  Here's how:

I got bangs!

Hi everybody!  Yesterday I went to get my hair done, and I finally did what I've been wanting to do: BANGS!  Here's a (not very great) picture:

I've needed change, so I'm really happy that I did it.  

I'm getting bangs!

Hello fellow bloggers!

I'm so excited, because tomorrow I'm getting bangs!  I'm so sick of having boring, straight hair, and my forehead is more of a fivehead, so I'm ready for change!  Here's some photos of bangs I'm pondering on getting:

My idol, Betsey Johnson, has my favorite bangs.

Sandra Bullock has really nice bangs.  I actually tried on her hairstyle online, and it looked pretty good!

I'm not really a Carly Rae Jepsen fan, but she has a precious hairstyle.  I'm definitely considering this one.

So, yeah!  I can't wait for noon, tomorrow!  I'll post pictures as soon as I get it done!

Treat Yourself Tuesday: Neon Edition!

Hello Kittens!

It's finally time for my (belated) Treat Yourself Tuesday post!

This week, I treated myself to a neon green, see-through clutch and neon coral pants! 

Here's some pictures:

Here's some of my favorite items inside my clutch:

Peace, Love & Juicy Couture perfume

(my current obsession)

My Valentine's Day iPhone case

My vintage coin purse

I got my precious clutch at WalMart for $2 and my jeans at JCPenney for $20!

I'm going to go back to both stores and get each in every color available.

The jeans are seriously the most comfortable pair I've found in a long time.

Have a nice day!
