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!

Peace, Love, and Baby Ducks,

One Last Time!

Hello my Beauties!
Before the Fall takes over and then slowly transforms into winter, I really want to post one last summer outfit. So, wherever you are, here’s hoping its going to be warm for a little bit longer!

Bull Head High Waisted Shorts
High Wasted Shorts HERE!

High waisted shorts are a must have. I can’t even imagine my life without them. You can seriously pair these babies with any kind of shirt; cropped, normal, buttoned, anything! I have paired them with this super soft tank that I got from a cute boutique at my near by mall.

Since I have discovered the Kate Moss lipstick line by Rimmel London I have been wearing a lot more lipstick in a lot of different colors. Whenever I am wearing an outfit that could use a little more pizzaz, I reach for a intense lip-lacquer to tie everything together and bring a little more attention to my face. I mean, who doesn’t want to catch someone’s eye once and a while?!

 

Until Next Time,

Marin XO

Red, Red, Red

This week we explore this wonderful and stunning color! When wearing red be sure to tone down everything else. You don’t want to look too crazy colorful! Yet I am always a fan for a couple of colored pieces with some red lipstick. If you can pull it off, then do it! That’s what fashion’s about, after all. You express yourself through your clothing. If it’s not “you” and you don’t feel comfortable in it, then it’s not true “fashion”. Always wear what you love and don’t worry about what others might think, if it’s you then you shouldn’t feel self conscious!

 
 
Add some color to your day with a sassy pout. Who knows, you might even get some looks from your crush! 726 “Fury” by Estée Lauder

Anyways, I love my red heels! They are super comfortable and sassy, perfect for a “feeling pretty” day! Wear them with a dress, like in the photo, and you’ll get compliments from your peers! But don’t limit yourself to dresses, mini skirts and skinny jeans are also fun options!

Lipstick Love

Hey you stylish people!
Today I am recommending one of the best lipstick I have ever worn: Kate by Rimmel London. This brand is beyond my favorite and one of the most highly recommended makeup items by not just myself, but also many Youtube reviewers like Zoella (You should also check her out she is pretty incredible!).

It comes in a bunch of different colors as well as textures! You can get one in a red casing, which has a matte finish and lasts for hours, or you can get the black casing, which has a glossy finish that stays up to normally 5-6 hours with tons of colors to choose from. The black one also smells really good for some reason, so that’s an added bonus!

I personally have not loved any lipstick more than these. There is no lie when I say that they last for hours and still look fresh, so seriously try them out because you won’t find another drugstore lipstick that is THAT GOOD!

Expect more makeup recommendations and techniques in the future!
Lots of Love,

Marin S.
