Hello Beauties!

Sorry that things have been a little quiet on Qwerty Girl, my WIFI has been switched out and there have been a couple of glitches. Also, college essays are “happening”. Excuses, excuses.

Today I ROCKED this interview for a senior internship and I was so inspired to write this post showing you my makeup, outfit, and anything else I needed to feel completely prepared and ready to kick booty. Let’s get started.

Whenever you are doing anything job related, ya gotta look professional. So I opted for my Forever21 army green dress and matching heels. I also paired my chunky chain necklace with it because I’ll be interning at an artsy place with artsy people. This necklace is artsy.

I wanted to keep my makeup simple– I’m not pretending to be twenty-four; what you see is what you get. I used my NYX Shimmer Stick as an eyeshadow, then added my NYX Eyeliner in brown and my favorite Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes mascara. The only base I used is the Revlon Photo Ready BB Cream. It applies like a dream and doesn’t look heavy. To finish it off I used my favorite Rimmel London Kate Moss lipstick in 05.

Now that you look like a true member of the workforce, you gotta be prepared. It’s so, so, so smart to carry a notebook with you. It makes you seem organized, competent, and eager to start your work ASAP. Plus, you never know when you might need to catch a name, number, email, company name, etc. Also have your planner for basically everything. Let’s face it, a busy person like you can’t afford to forget anything.

And that’s all you need! Now go show your true colors, and if the job is the right one they will love you! Keep checking in for a slightly more organized and regular schedule here. Until then…

Peace, Love, and Baby Ducks,

Marin

A Little Inspiration…

Posted on July 17, 2015July 16, 2015 Posted in FashionTagged accessories, Beauty, comedy, Dress, Fashion, hat, Inspiration, necklaces, Outfit, QWERTY blog, Style, Summer8 Comments

I found chipmunks during the shoot and they were really, really friendly!

Hello Beauties!

Long time no blog am I right? Things have been crazy over here, what with traveling, packing, and not having WIFI for about a week.
I’ve settled in Long Island for my internship, and there will still be posts every Monday and Friday since those are my off days. Plus there will be a lot of photos of New York City. Like a TON of them. But let’s get on with the fashion, shall we?

I’ve recently rediscovered my love for T-shirt dresses and turquoise jewelry, which has been mostly brought on by all of the music festival mayhem.

I purchased this simple dress at Target, my one true love. The fabric is perfect for summer, and the stripes balance out the shapeless silhouette. It’s also extremely versatile and can be worn for practically any occasion with the right accessories.

For this look I wanted to be simple but well accessorized. This hat from Forever21 really made the outfit unique, while the pendant necklace added an unexpected pop of color and the shoes simply made it more feminine.

Stay tuned for more Fashion Fridays and tell me below what your go-to summer piece is!

Peace, Love, and Baby Ducks,

Missing D.C.

Posted on June 25, 2015June 25, 2015 Posted in Lifestyle PostsTagged comedy, Funny, Lifestyle, Photos, QWERTY, Random, travel, Washington D.C.Leave a comment

This is blurry but it is the only one of me riding the carousel that I rode as a baby like every single day! Memories, am I right?

So artsy

This used to be the hospital I was born in so YAY I’m such an American!

Hello Beauties!

I’ve been missing Washington D.C. so much lately, mostly because I’m going to be back there in a couple of weeks *YAY*. I’m pumped. Maybe you could tell, but you’re reading this so maybe you couldn’t. WHO KNOWS!?

*Side Note: Writing in all caps really grabs the reader’s attention.*

Anyways, I was feeling nostalgic (as per normal) so naturally I went through my old photos to find these beauties! They are beautiful because they aren’t blurry! *YAY* Thanks iPhone.

So I’m going to end this now, but keep reading every week for beauty, fashion, and random posts! Until next time…

Summertime Means Rompertime

Hello Beauties!

It’s here! Stores are advertising their best, and shortest, dresses, skirts, and ROMPERS! That’s right ladies and gentlemen, we have made it through the deadly winter and we have been given the ultimate reward: sun, pool days, and no pants. What could be better??

I actually grabbed this beauty off a cluttered rack in Plato’s Closet for about $12. When I realized that it was made by H&M, the deal was sweetened.

The back dips with a couple of criss-crossy things, making it a little bit more interesting. Plus, it has freaking pockets. People… it has POCKETS. Anyone stuck with carrying money, tampons, keys, and a cell phone will understand my excitement about pockets.

Back to the back (haha joke), I’d advise wearing a bralette, much like the one I bought at Aerie! I don’t think I can go on enough about how much I adore this brand, so I will leave you to test them yourselves. Buy one of their bras. Maybe even a bralette. Get their underwear for goodness sakes! You will not be disappointed.

For accessories I could not resist to grab my favorite (and only; they’re expensive) TOPSHOP necklace. Wearing anything black is the perfect excuse to bust out a bright-coral, chain neck-piece. To go with the necklace, I chose my new Ulta matte lipstick in the shade 250, which is a bright pinky-coral, and then to add a little shimmer I dabbed my favorite Tarte lipgloss in the color flush on my bottom lip.

And for the grand finale, these knit Converse high-tops. Yes, they are knit. Yes, I adore them. I call them my “sweaters for feet”. I’m thinking about doing a week of just my favorite/slightly crazy shoes, because I have a few. These just added a very classic summer vibe to the whole outfit, but they are unique enough to safely bet that no one else would have them. Plus, white shoes make your legs look tan, so I enjoy those benefits!

Maintaining Your Eyebrows Has Never Been Easier! | Beauty Tuesday

Hello Beauties!

I recently purchased the Nad’s Facial Wax Gel Kit because I’ve been so sick of plucking my eyebrows every week and still not getting all the hairs in one go. It’s frustrating and we’ve all been there. Eyebrow maintenance is tricky since there is high risk to experimenting with them. Thankfully I’ve been blessed with fast-growing bushy beasts, but that also means that I will most definitely be slaving away in front of the mirror for about 10 minutes trying to get them the way I want.

The alternatives are waxing or spending money to get them done, which I’d rather not do at the moment even though I’ve heard it’s a life changing experience. So if you are more of a “do it yourself” person like me, this waxing kit will be helpful to you!

Warm the wax tube in hot water in your bathroom sink while you use one of the cleansing towelettes to get all of that nasty dirt off of the hairs.

Take the wand and twist the bottom slightly (like a 90’s lipgloss tube) so that only a small bit of wax bubbles at the tip. Then carefully drag the wax across the area you want, whether it be your lip, chin, or eyebrows. I find this the most painful step if the wax is not completely warm.

Take one of the cloth strips in the packet and stroke it onto the wax. Then all you gotta do is muster the courage to rip that thing off and be free!

Finally, I always go back over with the same towelette from step 1 as to get all of the access wax off yo’ face! Then BAM! You’re beautifully hairless in the eyebrow region!

Stay tuned for another post Thursday and Friday! Also you can find my past post here as well! Until then…

Peace, Love, and Baby Ducks,
