Outfit of the Day - Oversized Sweater&Tights

Today was a chilly day, so I decided to go with a casual, oversized sweater. The color of the sweater complements the purple tights that I paired with it, and I put on a pair of denim shorts to balance out the colors. The camera pendant was more of an accent piece. To top it all off, I wore my chestnut brown Uggs. This outfit was super comfortable, and I love the dusty rose and purple colors.

Top: Drop Shoulder Sweater, rose - Forever 21

Bottoms: High-Waisted Denim Shorties - American Eagle; purple tights

Accessories: Antique camera necklace - Taiwan

Super sorry for the lack of posting recently! I've had insanely busy weeks lately.. I had 8 tests this week, alone! And I only take 7 classes! Anyways, I apologize and I will have new posts as soon as possible!

DIY Rings :)

Recently, I went to this artsy event and there was a booth there selling homemade jewelry. I saw these adorable button rings that I absolutely LOVED, so I thought I'd give it a try. It was actually super easy to do! I just kinda hot-glued everything together. Anyways, I think these are super cute and I'll probably be making more in the future! :)

Outfit of the Day - Flowy Tunic&Leggings

[Apologies for the bad picture quality..]

Today was a pretty nice day - perfect for a long tank top and leggings! For my outfit, I wore a two-piece tank-top - a solid, flowy grey tank over a striped, fitted tank - that I got in Taiwan and dark grey leggings from Forever 21. To accent my waist, I added a skinny brown braided belt from Forever 21. I wore a cutout flower necklace from Taiwan as my accessory. Since the entire outfit was pretty neutral, I pulled out my pink sweater Uggs(not pictured) and used those as my attention-grabber.
Hope you enjoyed!

My Five Favorite Things about Fall

Happy Autumn!

I don't really have a favorite season, but I do love fall a lot. I love the perfect temperatures, fall fashion, and just the overall setting. So without further ado and in no particular order, here are my five favorite things about fall:

1. The Fair

I love the fair because of the rides, the food, the mini-games, the fireworks, and the overall feel of it. It's so much fun getting a group of friends together and enjoying ourselves there. (:










2. Boots

I love wearing Uggs, because it's just like wearing a thick pair of fluffy socks! Also, they go with everything and are super casual. With jeans and a hoodie, you get the perfect casual, girl-next-door fall look.














3. Hot Chocolate

Mm.. hot chocolate! Fall weather, to me, is the perfect weather for relaxing with a good book and a delicious cup of hot chocolate. Especially once it really starts cooling down! Where I live, the weather tends to fluctuate, so it's rather warm at the moment. However, last week, it was just the right temperature for this yummy drink and I had my first cup of the season. :)












4. Scenery

Personally, I extremely dislike the color orange. Like, to the point where I don't even own an orange item of clothing. However, even I have to admit that in the fall, the reds and yellows and oranges juust blend together beautifully.









5. Halloween
[This picture does not belong to me.]

To me, Halloween never gets old. Even now, I still go trick-or-treating. Why wouldn't I? It's free candy! Haha, but also, Halloween's a time to dress up and have fun - whether it's for a party or just for getting free candy! I love to drive around my neighborhood and look at all of the Halloween decorations that everyone has - especially the creative jack-'o-lanterns!






So these are my favorite things about fall! Hope you enjoyed them! :)

My Everyday Makeup/Fragrance

The only makeup I ever wear is eye-makeup, with the exception of concealer when I need it. I always focus on my eyes because they're really tiny, due to my Asian genes. :P Anyways, the point is, I'm not a heavy make-up kind of person.

For concealer, I use Clinique's Acne Solutions Clearing Concealer in shade 03. I've been using this concealer since the summer of 2009, and I think it works really well. It lasts a fairly long time, so touch-ups aren't necessary throughout the day. Since concealer goes on the face, I tend to stay away from drugstore products since department store products are just better quality in my opinion.

On my eyes, I wear mascara, eyeliner, and the occasional eyeshadow.
The mascara I use is CoverGirl's LashBlast Luxe mascara in Black Emerald, which I have been using since January of this year. I love this mascara because it's got a slight shimmer to it, and it does a good job volumizing my lashes.
The eyeliner I use is Victoria's Secret eyeliner in Dark Chocolate, which I love! I've tried a lot of different eyeliners over the past three years, and this is definitely my favorite. It goes on smoothly and blends very well. I've been using this eyeliner for two years now.
I have three different eyeshadow palettes that I use:

CoverGirl's Eye Enhancers 4-Kit Shadows: Coffee Shop

CoverGirl's Eye Enhancers 4-Kit Shadows: Urban Basics

Estee Lauder's Pure Color Eyeshadows (sample):

Sepia Sand (Satin), Pink Flash (Shimmer), Iridescent Violet (Satin), Amethyst Spark (Shimmer)

I just recently got the CoverGirl eyeshadow in Urban Basics and the Estee Lauder palette, so I haven't used them for long. However, I love the colors in both of them. What I like about CoverGirl eyeshadow is that it's not extremely heavy and goes on slightly shimmery, which brightens your eyes.

When I use the Coffee Shop palette, I really only use the matte dark brown color and the shimmery creme color. The creme I apply on my inner corners and the dark brown I apply on the outer-thirds of my eyelid.

When I use the Urban Basics palette, I apply the shimmery white on my inner corners, the lilac in the center, and the shimmery brown on the outer corners. The brown in this palette is a little too light for me, so I usually apply the darker brown from Coffee Shop and apply the shimmery brown from this over it.

I love the Sepia Sand color in the Estee Lauder palette, and I will use it alone with just a dab of the Pink Flash(which goes on as more of a shimmery white) in my inner corners. Another color combination I use is Pink Flash on the inner corners, Amethyst Spark in the center, and Iridescent Violet on the outer-thirds.

Anyways, that's it for my makeup. For fragrances, I usually use one scent for a good two-three months before changing it up. Currently, I use Bath&Body Works' Paris Amour fragrance mist. I never use perfume unless it's a special occasion, and mists are light enough for school and every day use. My past favorites have been Victoria's Secret Pink's LIVE PINK and Victoria's Secret Pink's All My Heart, but sadly, both have been discontinued. :(

So I hope you enjoyed this post! I'm going to try to post at least once every other day... Personal goal right there.

Bye!
