OOTD: A Fedora Kinda Day

I'm pretty sure the temperature today was over 100 degrees C. 

It was so incredibly hot and I didn't feel like doing my hair if it was just going

 to be ruined by my sweat and the heat. So, I decided to make use of a hat :)

[warning= nearly everything is from Forever 21]

What I wore:

-fedora: Forever 21

-leopard tank: Forever 21 (but I fringed it myself)

-tan braided belt: thrifted

-black high-waist shorts: Forever 21

-tan boots: Forever 21

-camel buckle bag: Aldo

-bracelets and dagger earrings: Forever 21

-ring: (I don't remember)

ps. It was so hot shooting these pictures! but always fun :)

I love this area of my mom's house and the lighting in the daytime is great.

Found my new favorite photo spot <3

What I wore:

-headband: Forever 21

-white vest: Wet Seal

XS Collective Haul: Forever 21 & CVS

Recently, I made a small online purchase on the Forever 21 website and I have to say, every time I order from them, the process is so easy and quick. I love the random free shipping promotions that they do here and there!

Also, CVS is one of my go-to places to purchase drugstore makeup items. 

Here's the VERY small haul :)

The items together.

Forever 21: black hi-low lace top $13.50

the top doesn't have a pic of its own :(

Forever 21: silver spikes/pearls necklace $8.80

Forever 21: brown/peach teardrop necklace $7.80

CVS: Wet n Wild nail color set $9.99

Now, THIS purchase, I am so proud of! Despite the fact that the quality isn't as great as pricier nail brands, for its price and color selection, Wet n Wild polishes are pretty great!

The $9.99 for a $25.00 value was a good deal, however, the colors in this set got to me.

Can't wait to try these, esp the magenta and pale violet color!

same set with flash.

CVS: NYC City Mono Eye shadows in "I love NY" $2.49

(shimmery pearly white)

CVS: EcoTools 6 pc Bamboo Eye Brush Set $7.98

*overall, I think this e/s is okay for its price of only $2.49.

I only use it for the inner corners of my eyes anyway and it does its job.

here is a close-up of the mini brushes.

*I am actually a huge fan of EcoTools, so I love this travel brush set. 

Each brush is labeled with a designated purpose but I didn't use them as labeled.

The fluffy crease brush (top; 1st) and flat lid brush (3rd) are my favorite!

That's the end of this post. Thanks for reading! <3

OOTD: slouchy & neutral

What I wore:

-taupe 3/4 sleeve top: (don't remember)

-leopard print shorts: Forever 21

-cream waist belt: vintage

-cream clutch: Kohl's

-ivory wedges: Charlotte Russe

Japanese Garden & OOTD

A few days ago, the weather was beaaaaaautiful. So my boyfriend and I  decided to go on a day date to a man-made botanical/Japanese garden near his house :)

The garden was so pretty and made me appreciate nature at its finest. It wasn't even that hot because there was an abundant amount of shade in the area. 

Now, time for the fit!

What I wore:

-black bandeau: Forever21

-white t-shirt tank: diy

-leopard shorts: H&M

-studded clutch: Sam Moon
