Easter Sunrise

(Forever 21 watercolor dress, Grey pumps, Forever 21 mint bag, H&M necklace, UO spike bracelet, Michael Kors watch)

As ya'll can probably tell, I dip-dyed my hair. Well I used kool-aid but yeah. I automatically fell inlove with this dress

when I saw it at Forever 21. It reminds me of watercolor paintings, cotton candy, and pretty clouds. Those are 3 really

awesome things, plus it looks gorgeous so I had to have it for an Easter dress. Also, I love to paint so the dress was just

undeniable. I hope you're all doing well! I've been busy this spring break hanging out with family and catching up with friends.

Oh and if I haven't mentioned it yet, I'm working now...at Urban Outfitters! ^____^

Sunday Attire

(Details: Thrifted white cardigan, Forever 21 polkadot turtleneck croptop, Gold chain, Navy blue circle skirt, Studded ankle boots)

It just dawned on me that I rarely wear white, or patterns. But behold, I really liked this outfit. I wore it to church today and without a doubt, this is something I would repeat wearing again. Yep.

Recent Purchases

Forever 21 Faux Leather-Sleeved Anorak (here)

Thrifted Fur Vest

Cross-printed shirt

Hey loves! I'm sorry for the lack of updates. Spring semester is back in session but here's a quick post.

I should be busy looking for spring pieces by now but I couldn't resist these. I've been looking for a cheaper version

of the ZARA leather-sleeved olive jacket for so long. I went to Forever 21 earlier, with no intentions of buying anything,
yet I couldn't leave the jacket behind. I also thrifted this fur vest last week. I had no idea it could be such an essential layering piece!

I can wear it under my coats or wear it over a leather jacket for an edgier vibe. Lastly, the cross shirt is just too dope to pass down.

Feline Feel

Well, this would have to be my oddest post ever but bear with me. I took a few outfit shots beforeheading to work at the city this morning. Let's just say my face wasn't adjusting well to the morning light.So in the mean time, enjoy this cat (: I think I'll be able to post more often now that I finished mysummer session for school. I have a couple of DIYs to finish and will soon be posted here!

Sunflower Child

I'm so happy that 4th of July is tomorrow! I get to relax tonight & take it easy tomorrow. I've decided to start on a DIY that I've been putting on hold, with my mom helping me out too! But here's an outfit that I wore over the weekend. I absolutely love flower crowns / headbands. When I saw this at Forever21 for just $1.50 I caved and got it.

Outfit of the Night

Phone quality photos but it'll do for now (:

This is what I wore to a friend's debut last friday.

Nude laced top - Forever 21

Wine maxi skirt - Forever 21

Necklace - New York & Company

Arm candy & chandelier earrings - Forever21

On a whim, I also decided to try out false eyelashes and a few products by E.L.F.

I'm pretty satisfied with all of these. False eyelashes are so difficult to put on if you've never tried it before (like me) but the outcome is beautiful!

Pink Lace

(Urban Outfitters dress, Guess denim jacket, Fiona grey pumps, Forever21 statement necklace)
I bought a lot of lace dresses during the winter and saved them all to wear for spring. So here's another that I got from Urban Outfitters as a birthday gift. Don't mind the awkward smile/face.

Arm Decors for Gloomy Days

It's been raining the past couple of days in NYC so my source of sunshine has been through my arm decors. Doesn't my wrist look like a nightclub? Haha!

In other news, I've been a terrible blogger lately. Work is really keeping me busy and school will be resuming again by next week. I may be able to get a hold of my friend's Nikon on saturday so I'll try and get a few decent shots of my recent buys and outfits.

arrow bar necklace & girlfriends

This arrow bar necklace is one of my recent purchases. I bought it from Forever 21 about a week ago. I used to get a lot of my clothes from there but now I tend to be attracted mostly on their jewelry. If you don't know yet, I am in love with polyester tops. All the ones I have are thrifted, including this one I'm wearing. I don't know, maybe I just like dressing like a grandmother.
