Black Mesh Bodysuit

I know this outfit looks very similar to a dress that's sold in American Apparel, which is very true, but I chose to go the DIY route rather than spending $70 on a piece I wouldn't get much use out of.  Why, you ask? Well, I was going out to the city (obviously to a bar I had never even heard of let alone been to) and had absolutely no idea what to wear. Several hours before said event I made an emergency trip to the mall for something.. anything really.. to wear. I did try on the dress and seconds later fell madly in love with it but my conscience was telling me the purchase just wasn't worth it (also because it was made for someone 5'8".. not 5'). So after a brief internal meltdown, this bodysuit answered all of my prayers. Even though it was $50, which is still kind of pricy, I realized I would get a lot more use out of it than I would the dress- which ended up being true because I already wore it twice: once with this skirt and another with high waisted pants.

Everyday Makeup Tutorial

After getting tons and tons of requests for a tutorial of my everyday makeup look, I decided to really try to learn how to use the video aspect of an SLR along with Final Cut so that I could share it with you all. If you know me personally or you don't, I am in no way shape or form a make-up artist or aspiring make-up artist (I've only seriously done makeup on myself, friends or family) so anything I share with you is what I've learned from personal experience, the lovely ladies at the MAC counter or a few YouTube videos.

Gray Slit Maxi

 I realized that I always talk about how I would style my outfits for a night out but I rarely ever get a chance to actually show you, so, here's how I wore this dress to a family party and out to dinner. I'm always a little nervous ordering a piece online form a store that I've never purchased from because of my size, but I was extremely happy with how well this dress fit when I finally got to try it on.

Daisy Co-ords

I'm such a sucker for a anything floral so there was no way I could leave this matching set behind. I was really happy the top was a little bit longer than I expected it to be because it could easily pass as a romper. The only way you could see any of my stomach is if I lift my arms or move around a lot, so if I wanted to wear it to a fancy place, I definitely could.  Since I was only hanging out, I chose to keep it more casual with my tan gladiators from Call It Spring and a matching clutch that I borrowed from my Mom. While I was getting dressed I also tried it on with a pair of black lace up pumps and a lightweight black blazer to see if it was possible to dress the set up for a night out.. it was definitely a success.
