The birthday of a princess.

A bit early, yes I know. But August thirty-first, is a very important day. It's the birthday of one of my oldest friends, Kelly. We met when we were just wee little babies, in Sunday School class, at church. Eventually..we fell in love and it was all down hill from there.




Kelly and I share a love of many things...like red velvet cupcakes, taylor swift, ralphs, boys, country music, boys, country boys, skittles and watermelon sourpatches. We taught confirmation classes at the church where we met for two years together, and talk almost everyday. She could possibly be the only person left on the entire planet that actually uses AIM.








The thing about Kelly Jane and I, is that we are..princesses. Just ask either of us, or our parents. Kelly, actually wears a light up, princess tiara from Disney world..almost on a daily basis. If I had a light up tiara..I would too.


We've been through so much together, that we're basically joined at the hip. Yet, we don't ever have classes together, because she's 800x smarter than me, and is basically taking the smartest classes in my school. We've loved boys, lost best friends, and moved on..yet remained strong as best friends. I wouldn't want to have anyone else to call and cry hysterically to because a boy I liked, kissed another girl..or my nail broke. Every girl needs a best friend who is like them, and that's where she comes in for me.



So here's to you, Princess Kelly. The post I promised you, and a promise from me..I'll be here for you through thick and thin..and will support you in anything you choose to do. I love you with all of my heart, and hope your seventeenth birthday is incredible.

Love Always,
Your peanut butter princess calender muffin notebook toaster telephone of a best friend.
Me.


Ps..I HOPE YOU LIKED THE FLOWERS<3

Product Review: Eyeslipsface Palette

So on my last trip of many to Target, I saw, that they now sell Eyes Lips Face products. I picked up a couple of things, but by far, this palette, which cost only five dollars was my favorite. It comes with 12 shadow colors, an eyeliner, and a sponge brush.




*In row one, going horizontally..:

Color one : Shimmery white/silver color which is very pigmented. The only thing I didn't like about this particular shadow is that it wasn't pressed very well, it started breaking! WAH!

Color two: Basic, shimmery fleshtone color, good for the lid, but not very well pigmented.

Color three: Lilac purple, extremely pretty. This color is also really really pigmented, good for green eyes! Purples help to enhance hazel and green eyes.

Color four: Just a deeper, darker shade of shadow number two, but more pigmented! I loveeeee this one!


In row two...:

Color one: Reminds me so much of that shadow by Urban Decay, Midnight cowboy or something?! So pigmented, good for everyday use!

Color two: Deep, olive green shadow. Very pigmented! Green shadows are good for brown and green eyes, they help to make the eyes pop!

Color three: Beautiful sky blue, with a bit of a gold reflex to it. Once again, extremely pigmented.

Color four: Extremely shimmery cocoa brown color, good for defining the crease.


Last, but not least... row three:

Color one: Matte white color, good for enhancing and highlighting under the brow bone, and the inner corner. Not well pigmented.

Color two: Satin purple, barely any shimmer, but when swatched, looks like purple satin!

Color three: Maroon type of shadow, also looks like satin. This is by far, my favorite color in the whole palette. It's so pigmented and so beautiful.

Color four: Black shadow with silver glitters. So pretty, I would recommend keeping a tissue under the eye when applying, because the amount of glitter causes alot of fallout.


The eyeliner, is just a basic black liner, it's very creamy, which is good! I'm not a fan of the spongetiped applicators in general, so..

Favorite Song of the Moment.

She's got a bumper like a billboard,
covered in stickers of her favorite band.
She's got her hand full of records,
that she turns to when she needs to land.
She's a Saturday night parade, through the streets,
that all eyes come to see..including me.

She carries memories around, like souvenirs down in her pocket,
She should have let some go, but can't seem to drop it.
Says forgiveness ain't nothing,
but a lifeless tire on the shoulder of her soul,that never rolls.


For as much as she stumbled,
she's running.
For as much as she runs,
she's still her.
Always hoping to find something quicker than Heaven,
To make the damage of her days, disappear.
Just like, Guinevere.







If you've never heard this song, it's called Guinevere by Eli Young Band.
Check it out, it's beautiful.


Goodnight everyone.

Hobo of my dreams.

For a few months, since it was released, I've been stalking the Steve Madden BWEAVE leather hobo bag. Finally, today...I purchased it. Let's just say I was almost shaking from how happy I was. I'm obsessed with bags. I love them, and haven't seen one, or purchased one that I liked since my Coach bag that i bought right after Christmas.



The design of the bag is something I fell for right away, the classic hobo. It has gold detailing on the zipper, and clasps. It has a long strap that you can attach, or a short strap (that i like) to carry the bag on the crook of your arm. Also, it has a basket type weave on just about the bottom third of the purse. The inside is a beautiful blue satin material, and speaking of the inside...if you don't like bags that you can't find things in..this isn't for you..because my whole arm can literally fit inside of it without a problem.





Little to my knowledge, sitting under the glass at the counter, was the matching wallet. If you're like me, you want your wallet to match your bag. I had enough money, and there was no way I was saying no. My past wallets have just been cheap, usually forever 21, sparkly plastic type styles. So, this is like my first big girl wallet. :)





The wallet also has the basket weave detailing on most of it, and a gold interior with a royal blue center, just like the bag :)



Have a good night all.
- The happiest girl in the world.

Inspiration five: Demi Lovato

" Who says, I can't wear my converse, with my dress?..but baby, that's just me."


Edge. A style many try to pull off, and either go way to far and look, well..dumb..or don't go far enough, and look simple..and still..kind of dumb.

One person by far pulls off the perfect mixture of class and edge, and that person is Miss Demi Lovato. Her full name is Demetria Devonne Lovato, and she is only 18. Not only is she incredibly beautiful, but she's got a really hot group of friends..including Selena Gomez, the Jonas Brothers, and members of various alternative bands like: We the kings! One year older than me! For an 18 year old, Lovato has stared in movies like Camp Rock, and has put out two albums, which are both absolutely amazing.


Something that I really like about Demi is that she mixes and matches pieces to create the cutest outfits..ever! Her style is like I mentioned, edgy, while remaining feminine, and girly! You'll usually catch her wearing black and white, but who doesn't love black and white? She's not afraid to wear a red lip once in a while, or chop her hair up.



All girls need someone to look up to, style wise, and personality wise. I believe Demi is a wonderful role model, because although she has been exposed to much fame and publicity, she stays strong to her roots, and continues to impress us all.






Demi Lovato :

"I won't change anything in my life I'm staying myself tonight "

"Enjoy your life...let loose, party hard and just have a good time :) <3"



"you guys are not only my fans, but you're my friends. and I love you for that."


"An impact is like a punch it may hurt but it passes."




So thank you, Miss Demi Lovato, for being an inspiration to all of us girls, looking to add a little bit of rocker sheik to our lives. I you you continue on in your journey of good fortune, love, and style.



Love Always,
-K.

Three Step Nude Lips!

For a while now, I've been trying pretty hard to put together the perfect combination of lip products to create the perfect nude lip. Mixing liners, with lipsticks and glosses.

The key, I found out..is simplicity! No need for stress, it's all in three steps!

*HINT: Make sure that the nude lipstick you choose for this look, goes well with your skin tone, and isn't completely nude, that it makes you look dead! Some lipsticks will completely conceal your lips, which isn't quite the look I went for.
I wanted to define my lips, while still being able to pull of the perfect nude.

So...How did I do it?

Step one: Moisturize your lips with a good, clear lip conditioner. I chose the Nivea A kiss of Moisture!

Apply this, or any product really well, all over lips. You want to make sure there are no cracks or bumps so that the finished product is smooth.


Step two: Choose your lipstick. I chose the Revlon ColorStay soft and smooth lipstick in the color 350 Smooth Nude. I have to be honest and say at first, I bought this product only because it fit perfectly in my makeup bag, instead of carrying around a regular sized lipstick. I fell in love!





Step three( optional ): Add a coat of nude gloss over lipstick. You want to use a nude gloss, just to tie together the look. A soft pink colored gloss could also go well over the lipstick, but for this look I chose to use the Urban Decay Pocket Rocket in the shade Kirk. Pocket Rockets are kind of expensive, retailing at about eighteen dollars, but a little of this gloss goes a long way, and it smells so good!


And the final product comes out like this!


Unlike me, make sure you wipe the edges around your lips to make sure the gloss stays defined. Just use a cotton swab and go around the outermost lines of your lips.


I hope you all enjoyed this little tutorial type post, let me know if you try it out!
KISSES~

What comes before part b?

PART-A!




Eighteen. The big 1-8.
August 21, today, is my best friend of like a bazillion years, birthday. It's gonna be a day to celebrate, because eighteen only happens once. When you turn 18..you can legally get : lottery tickets, tattoos, piercings, change your name, get married and divorced, sign yourself out of school, vote, and other so many other wonderful things that you could never ever do!

Our first "real" picture together. AHAHA.





Sharing a love of music, laguna beach, shopping and the cheesecake factory, Kerri and I have become a team, that really shouldn't be aloud to hangout. She constantly is adding to my addiction of shopping, and makeup. It's quite sick actually. But seriously, to have someone who you know will always be there for you, is a really rare thing. Our dads actually grew up together, and I hope the same will happen with Kerri and I.






I really, actually, hate her. We're not friends, I don't know why I'm writing this.
LOL, jk.

But for real, for the last few years Kerri and I got really close, and I can honestly say I hope I never loose her as a friend, because it would be like loosing a sister. This summer, we're basically hungout, or talked, on a daily basis. But this year, I'm working on her birthday!
I'M A BAD FRIEND.
OH WELL.
WHO CARES
NOT ME.
lol jk.






BUT AGAIN, for real.
Kerri, I hope 18 is everything it's made out to be. I love you to death and I hope your birthday is amazing. Happy birthday, from me..and the cheesecake.
Love Always,
-Me.


Then:

NOW.

It's more than beauty..

So, most of my posts are about makeup, or clothing..or trends. I watched a youtube tag and HAD to do it. This is the "more than beauty" tag. It's questions that have NOTHING to do with makeup or clothes or anything in that category. So, here we go!


Questions!

1. Fondest childhood memory
1A. I'd have to say any summer that I spend in the Poconos, at our family lake house, are my fondest memories from my childhood. I seem to be in a complete state of joy and happiness whenever I'm there, and it's been that way since I was young.

2. Quirky habit
2A. This is weird, and only a few people know about it. I had a dream once that I died, or something in my sleep! When someone found me, I smelt terrible apparently. Every single night since that dream, I spray myself with body spray or perfume, just in case. WEIRDO! I can't believe I just admitted that.

3. Play sports?
3A. Not anymore. I use to swim competitively and was actually pretty good. I stopped in highschool, because it was no longer about having fun, it was strictly swimming to win. I didn't enjoy it. I still love to swim though. I also did softball. Not my best choice of sport, but I had fun.

4. Favourite book
4A. I'm a Sarah Dessen JUNKIE. ANYTHING at all by Dessen I'd consider a favorite. Also, I loved GO ASK ALICE, and THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER by Stephen Chobsky(spell?).

5. If you could invent something, what would it be?
5A. Hm, I don't know! That's such a hard question!

6. If you could own your own business what would you do?
6A. It's my dream to open my own plus sized trendy clothing boutique.

7. Someone you admire (that doesn't know who you are)
7A. I've done two post, that are my inspiration posts. I'd have to choose Lauren Conrad and Taylor Swift. For the reasons why, go check out those recent posts!

8. A talent you wish you had
8A. I wish I was really good at singing. I sing all the time, really loud, but I'm no good.

9. Something you wish you'd known 2 years ago
9A. That the boy I was crazy about at the time wasn't worth the fight. But we all make our mistakes, and that we learn from them.

10. What you do to feel centered/relaxed
10A. I listen to music, or shop. I don't know why, maybe because I'm sick in the head. But shopping calms me down. Or, watching old movies..like Meet Me in St. Louis.

11. Who is someone in your life that makes you feel loved
11A. Aside from family, Kerri, Patrick, Joseph, and a few other of my really close friends are people who truly make me feel loved. Even if the three I named are a bunch of idiots..I love them to death.

12. The most interesting place you've been and why
I went to Washington Dc a while ago, and got to do all the sight seeing, and going through the different museums was really interesting to me. I love history, and learning about the past, so that was like the perfect place for me to go.

13. 3 books you can't wait to read
13A. I'm not sure! Are there any good books coming out soon? let me know!

14. A cherished keepsake that you will keep forever
14a. I have a big giant coach box under my bed, that has all of my old things in it that I want to keep. It has yearbooks, old shirts, and other random stuff that means a lot to me.

15. Something you really want to do or see before you die
15A. I want to skydive, graduate college, go to California, Paris, Italy, meet Patrick, get married, have babies, and other things..not in any order!




Answer these questions and let me know what you think!

Faith.

I've done a whole post about accessories from Forever 21. I never mentioned the fact that recently, Forever 21 released their first plus sized line of clothing. If you're anything like me, physically or mentally..this is an amazing thing. Style wise, the clothes are just as cute as the normal lines from the store. Price wise, it's the same too! SO EXCITING.

We'll start with dresses. You can spend a nice chunk of change on a good dress that's bigger than a size 12. These dresses are ones pulled off the site, that I think are so adorable.



The prices of all these dresses range from $19.80 to $24.90.

Next stop, TOPS! Faith21 offers a wide variety of plus sized tops, that are super cute.These range from $10 to $30. I think that they're well worth it! Check these out.


Lately, they started to offer a lot more bottoms than they did when it first came out. They now carry a bunch of cute jeans, as well as skirts, shorts and leggings.
A good pair of jeans that are bigger than a size 2 are hard to find. They offer ALOT on the site, not just like the typical stretchy pants that are what plus sized jeans stereotypically made of, but denim! When I buy bottoms at Torrid or Avenue, they run around fifty dollars. These range from around $15 to $35.



When something like this comes along, you can't just sit and wait for it to fade. I'm so excited that Forever 21 finally put out a line of plus sized clothes, and I hope that other stores that have really good clothes follow in their footsteps. I can't wait to go school shopping and pick up a couple of these items :)

Hanno una buona notte tutti!
( have a good night everyone :))

Happy trails, to you.

This post is for my best friend, Patrick. He leaves tomorrow for a seven day vacation to Hawaii. For the longest time he has been begging me to write a post for him, so Patrick, here you go!

Patrick and I have a weird relationship that most people will probably never understand. We were introduced by mutual friends. Yet, we've never actually met. He lives in North Carolina, and I live..of course...8,000,000 miles away on Long Island. The thing is, we talk almost everyday. I don't care what anyone says, he knows me better than I know myself sometimes. He makes me laugh, more than most people do. He puts up with my stubborn ass, and I put up with his addiction to Call of Duty. We bicker, just like any other two people would.

He's one of the most amazing people I've ever been blessed to meet. Patrick has been here for me for a while now, and I hope he's gonna be around for a very long time, because I honestly don't know what I'd do without him.





So here's to you louis, have a safe and wonderful trip. I hope this blog makes you happy, and you stop whining to me about how I'm not writing a post about you.

Bon Voyage, best friend.
Love Always,
Me.
