In-home getaway by Target

This is a quick example I threw together that shows what a dream bedroom would be for me; however, I have many ways I want my bedroom to look! ha.

Summer Style 1

This outfit would be amazing for an outdoor concert or even walking around the city during the summer! The leather shorts and booties make this outfit suitable for day or night!

OOTD: Interview

Today, I had my first interview of the summer, and it went great! Hopefully, this time next week I will have a job! I even went to do a little shopping while I was at the mall and ended up finding two other stores that were hiring and seemed pretty interested. I don't know if it was the professional vibe I was giving off, or if it was my enthusiasm from the happy high I was feeling, but whatever it was, it worked! 

I decided to post pictures of my makeup and what I wore, as well as my freshly manicured nails! (: 

So here's the makeup I wore. I wanted to go for a flawless finish but still make it look pretty natural and simple. I will list the products I used below each picture! (Sorry for the extreme close up of my face by the way haha.) Also, please excuse the fact that I need to trim my eyebrows a bit :P



FOUNDATION: CoverGirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 in Buff Beige (825)
COVER UP: CoverGirl in Fair (705)
POWDER: Maybelline FIT Me (230)
BLUSH: Maybelline FIT Me in Medium Coral
HIGHLIGHT: just a random light shimmery eyeshadow (champagne color) 
EYE SHADOW: Physician's Formula Matte Collection Quad in Canyon Classics (the lightest shade under my eyes as a highlight, light brown on lids and as a blending color, and dark brown in crease)
MASCARA: L'oreal Paris Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara in Carbon Black
EYEBROWS: NYC Kohl Brow/Eyeliner Pencil in Taupe (927)



SHIRT: Black ruffle top by Miley Cyrus Max Azria 
TANK TOP: Light grey from Charlotte Russe (not pictured)
PANTS: Medium grey flared leg pant from Danielle B.
SANDALS: Metallic silver (looks gold in the picture) with bead embellishments and ankle wrap from Target
EARRINGS: silver hoops from Body Central


Nails were done by me! (:
2 coats of Gelous Advanced Nail Gel Coat
1 coat of white polish on the tip
1 coat of Seche Vite Top Coat
1 coat of Gelous Advanced Nail Gel Coat (if desired for extra shine but not needed)
*I personally let each coat dry for about 15 minutes before proceeding, but less time may be okay too! I am just extremely picky about my nails! :)

I hope you guys liked this post!

M.I.A.

Hey guys!

Soooo I have been really M.I.A. for the last couple months and I am really sorry about that. Between finishing up school, work and APO stuff in May, then through May and June struggling to find a job and going on vacation, I have had a lot going on. I need to get into writing on here regularly though, and trust me I WILL! :)

Now that the disclaimer is over....I had my first interview of the summer! (: Well if you don't include the phone interview I had for an internship that didn't exactly work out, obviously. It went really well and hopefully it will work out! I mean c'mon, two months of rent and a pet deposit for my apartment aren't going to pay themselves. I also found a couple other stores that are hiring so if this doesn't pan out, one probably will. STAY POSITIVE!

I also pushed myself and got the GPA I needed to continue on with the Peer Instructor position I was given on a conditional basis (based on my GPA)! I can't even explain how excited I am about being able to co-teach some of the freshman class next year. I needed a 2.5 and I actually got up to a 2.7! so hard work does pay off, no matter how busy you are apparently (:

I mentioned a vacation earlier, and I will probably post about that here soon too!

Thanks for reading, whoever you might be!
Also, feel free to leave topics in the comments that you would like me to write about. I'm here to please you guys too! (:
