Finally a Fashion Post: A Look for Less

Hey Everyone I hope your weekend has been good to you so far! So I realized that I haven't really been posting about fashion lately which is crazy considering that's the biggest reason I started my blog! Anyways I thought I'd do a small "look for less" post just so I can bring a little sense of fashion back to my blog :) One of my favorite pieces to wear right now is leather leggings! They look great with over sized sweaters, a white button down and even blazers I think everyone should have a pair for fall/winter because they're such a versatile piece.

The look I was inspired by was this one of Kim Kardashian while in NYC. I love how effortlessly chic the look is, its casual yet put together and I thought it was a perfect outfit for dinner and a movie with the girls last night. 

So this is my affordable version of her outfit. My sweater was $22 from Forever 21, my leggings are from Forever 21 as well for $10, my Mary Jane pumps are Penny loves Kenny from Ross for $20, my ring is from Charlotte Russe for $6 and my necklace is Tory Burch given to me as a present so I'm not sure how much it was.

Here's a better picture of what they look like I'm pretty happy with them heck for $10 I should have bought two pairs lol

 one of my bestie's and I at the Premiere of Breaking Dawn part 2, good movie :)

So there's my little fashion post! I apologize for the crappy quality of the pictures I really didnt want to use my phone to take the pictures  but my camera is broken yet again :( So my phone is all I have right now for outfit post anyways but I hope you can still find this post enjoyable I know there's not much too it I'm kind of pressed for time today but I will be back to posting normally tomorrow evening! Thank you so much for reading and I hope you have a wonderful rest of the weekend talk to you guys soon! :) xoxoEm   

A Mini Christmas Haul: B&BW and Forever 21 :)

Hey guys! I hope everyone is having a wonderful week before Thanksgiving. I am loving this cold weather I hope it stays nothing ruins a cold holiday more than warm weather :p Anyways I went to mobile to do a little Christmas shopping because they're were so many good deals going on I didn't want to pass it up! Bath and Body works has an amazing sale going on right now, buy three get three free with the signature collections, 3 for $10 mini signatures (great stocking stuffers) $5 small candles, 5 for $5 pocket bac hand sanitizers and  they also are handing out good coupons, $10 off any $30 or more purchase and free item of choice with any $15 purchase or more up to a $13 value (helloo free triple body moisture cream) so they have a lot of great deals going on and coming up! I also went to Forever 21 and they still had their veterans day sale so I got a few things from there as well so lets just get started! :)

I decided to make goodie baskets for my besties, here's what I got them (im hiding this post from them so I dont spoil their surprise)

Mini signatures in the scent of Paris, to me its not an overwhelming smell and it smells really good, perfect scent for a gift. They were 3 for $10 so I got 6 for $20 not bad!

I also got them a small candle in the frosted cranberry because I wanted them to be able to use it after the holidays if they wanted to you can never go wrong with a fruity scent for a candle as a gift it gives them the option to use it after the holidays because the scent doesn't scream holiday. Small candles 2 for $10.

 As many of you know I love these little things I can never have too many I just switch out the scents so I dont get bored lol They were 5 for $5 so I got two for my besties, two for my brother in law's daughters and one for me, pretty good :)

 I lovee these socks! They are so soft and have shea in them to keep your feet soft. These werent on promotion they were $7.50 each but I know how much my girls love socks so I splurged :)

 Not from B&BW but I know how much my girls love Victoria's Secret lip gloss so I got them each one of the minty kiss ones in peppermint, 2 for $15 (splurged a little)

With all the savings I got I was able to get the Forever Red body spray which is a regular $22 for free basically because the lady helping was so nice she took the time to split up my transactions so I could use my coupons with my purchases I love her for doing that and I love this scent!

 I was also able to get this free because she split up my transactions its the pink sugarplum triple body moisture cream and I love it but I might use it as a gift or a mini giveaway I haven't decided yet I might do something else as a giveaway but you will know in my next blog post so stay tuned! :)

these are obviously not from B&BW but I thought it would be a cute idea to put mini bottles of their favorite wine in there goodie baskets, they lovee wine lol

What's a goodie basket without candy?!! Target had a 3 for $10 deal on the good kind of candy so of course I took advantage of that :)

here's a preview of what they will look like I still have a few other things to put in it but i'm pretty excited about them :)

I also stopped by Forever and picked up a few things like this over sized cream colored sweater it was a little bit of a splurge ($22) but I have been looking for one like this for months so I thought it was appropriate.

I lovee this dress I was going to get it last time i was there but I decided to put it back twice because it was just too much but this time I found it in the wrong section three times while I was looking around so I tried it on for the third time loved it and figured it was fate. its not even on the website any more so happy I got it! ($24)

And last but not least I got this emerald rhinestone dress i thought it would be so cute for a holiday get together or layered with tights I cant wait to wear it! $24 I know I know another splurge :/

Well that concludes this haul! I hope you enjoyed it I wasnt going to post it because of the forever haul it wasnt exactly a budget haul but oh well lol Thank you so much for reading and I hope you are having a great night wherever you are! xoxo Em

Long Time No Post: Just a few Random Things

Hey everyone! I'm sorry I havent posted on here lately I've been busy coming up with things to post about lol But I'm back and I have a few new things to show you guys :) one thing I love doing is putting together one outfit and either taking away or adding accessories to give it a new look here's one from Sunday :)

  I found this simple but versatile oxblood dress at Forever 21 for only $11, it was too good of a deal to not get it! Anyways I would consider this a daytime look for fall because even though the sun is usually out I am always colder during the day than I am at night I'm weird I know lol I paired it with a camel colored cardigan from again, Forever 21, black opaque tights, grey mary jane pumps from Ross for $20, a grey studded bag also from Ross for $25 and mint and gold jewelry the belt is off of a dress from tjmaxx

 

For my night time look I subtracted the cardigan, changed my earrings from large gold tear drops to simple green beaded ones because I wanted my necklace to stand out the most, changed the layered necklace to more of a statement one, added a gold bead bracelet and my MK watch, switched my mary janes to camel colored peep toe pumps to give my legs a more leaner look and to give my outfit more of a outgoing glam feel, and I switched my larger grey bag to a small classic cream colored flap.

For my hair, I would have left it down for the night time outfit but I didnt have time to wash my hair before company came over which is what I love so much about a bun, if you are in a hurry and dont have time to wash your hair throw it up in a bun and it instantly adds a sense of chic to any outfit! For my make up I used a mixture of clinique super balanced make up in linen and Estee Lauder nutritious in intensity 4 in order to create my perfect shade. Otherwise it will look too light or too dark since i'm not tanning anymore but still have some what of a base tan. After applying foundation I set it with loose power then contoured my cheek bones with VS bronzer and highlighted down my nose, above the apples of my cheeks and my cupids bow with a white cream eye shadow. For my eyes I went with a gold base and contoured the outer corners with a dark brown and eggplant. I applied lashes, my favorite are the wispy demies by kiss, they're only $5 at walmart then winged my black eyeliner from revlon and applied one coat of voluminous mascara to blend my real lashes with the fake ones. For my lips I went with a burgundy brown from revlon called ginger spice   and tada! :)

close up of my cute flap, doesnt look so Chanel like? :)

I also made a Halloween cake lol I killed 2 boxes of food coloring to get it this purple haha but it came out exactly how I wanted it to and it was delicious!
