Hi, dolls! Sorry I haven't posted in a long time. I haven't felt inspired to post anything, but now I'm coming back to this blog and I'm going to try to post daily or at least multiple times a week!
With my own paychecks, I bought the clothes/necklace, and the body products. The rest was gifted to me!
(Starting with the clothes left to right as shown above)
Nasty Gal "Modern Romance" Top
Here's me wearing the top!
I LOVE this top! For a few weeks, I wasn't sure whether or not I really wanted to buy this, but I'm really glad I did. It's made of a thin, chiffon-y material and the color's actually a light blush not white like the picture. But I love it just the same! I think it's very versatile, which is a main reason why I bought it. I want to be able to wear this gorgeous piece during any season! The material is light enough that you can wear it in the spring and summer, but since it's long sleeve, you can incorporate it into fall/winter too! Unfortunately, NG doesn't sell this anymore.
Nasty Gal "Look Out" Tank
I bought this to be a staple piece during the summer! I don't have many simple tanks that I can wear often in warmer weather (I have alot of "busy" pieces that I can't wear often because of repeat-offending!) So when I saw this, I thought it'd be perfect! It's in a gorgeous color and it's super light! This top also has a really cute open back:
I loved the opening in the back and thought it was the perfect excuse to layer a pretty bandeau underneath! And as you can see from the above picture, the top is super long, so you have the choice of wearing it long or tucking it in like the first picture!
Nasty Gal "Tiered Crochet Shorts"
Here's me wearing the shorts!
I'm absolutely in love with these shorts. I had been on the hunt for the perfect pair of cream lace shorts and none of them really jammed my jams (shout out to Mitchell Davis!) until I saw these. These are high-waisted and have a stretchy waist. They're really comfortable, enough to sleep in! I actually sleep in these all the time because they're so comfy. Out of the 4 NG items I bought, this is my favorite piece!
Brandy Melville "I Love You To The Moon And Back" Muscle Tee
Lately I've been loving muscle tees, so I bought this one from Brandy cause it's plain (staple) and I thought the phrase on it was really cute! It's made out of a thin cotton material and when I say thin, I mean thin. The ends of the shirt curl up because of how thin it is! But I don't mind it, since it's for the summer. It keeps me feeling cooler in hot weather and it looks super cute paired with just simple jean shorts!
Nasty Gal "Muscle Beach Crop Tee"
I bought this plain black one as another summer staple item. I thought this would be on the looser/baggier side and would be made with a cotton material, so I bought a size smaller than I typically would with tops like these. I was wrong on both accounts: since I assumed it to be baggy and bought a smaller size, this top it tighter on me than I would like and the material isn't cotton, it's a slippery Rayon. After checking the site again, it did say what the material was and that could've given me a bigger clue as to what size to get, but I usually don't check that information and ended up getting something completely different than what I wanted/expected. I still like the top, I'll just have to style it differently! I'm going to Cancun this July, so I can wear it as a cover-up top. And I can wear this with "scuba" skirts and tight, high-waisted skirts!
Brandy Melville "Copper Wrapped White Crystal Necklace"
I bought this because I've always wanted a long necklace with a crystal on the end like this one! I've always thought they were gorgeous and simple enough to wear with anything, so I decided to just buy one! The chain is super thin, which I love because thin necklace chains are my favorite, but it's also the downside to this necklace. It's easily breakable! So I really have to be cautious when wearing this; but that isn't a problem because I'm typically careful with my jewelry!
Now on to the body/misc. products!
(Starting left to right)
Gum: My mom got me this gum at an Asian grocery store; I used to chew this gum ALL the time as a child, so whenever I have it again, I feel like a little girl again. The flavors are orange, strawberry, melon, and grape, and there's two of each (as you can see, i've eaten one side of the pack already)!
Victoria's Secret PINK "Sun Kissed" Body Spray: I originally use Viktor and Rolf's "Flowerbomb" perfume and I absitively-posilutely love it, but it's too strong of a scent for summer, so I decided to buy a body mist I could carry around/wear all the time that is appropriate for this season. I love coconut/vanilla/beachy smells, so I wanted that sort of scent. I popped into my VS just to browse after I got off of work last week and I found this! The bottle describes the scent as "coconut water and sunny vanilla" so I thought this was perfect for me! The only downside is that the scent doesn't last too long and if I wanted to really smell it on me, I would have to put my nose to my skin. But I don't have an issue with re-spraying, so I'm happy with this!
Bath and Body Works "Malibu Heat" Body Wash: Going again with what I said about wanting an appropriate scent for summer, I picked this body wash because it has the perfect scents! I originally went in to buy "Aruba Coconut" because I use that line's lotion and I LOVE it, but after smelling this wash, I went with this one instead! The bottle describes the scent as "a fresh blend of juicy pineapple, California orange and creamy coconut milk". It sounds so good it makes me want to eat it! I've used this about twice, and I have no complaints!
Dove "Go Sleeveless" Deodorant: This product is pretty straight-forward and boring. I never need to wear deodorant, but I bought this for when I know I'll be outside for long periods of time (I go to a lot of outdoor music festivals in the summer). I got it in the scent "shea butter"!
Maybelline's "The Rocket" Mascara
I usually only use high-end brands of makeup, but lately, I've been trying tons of drugstore mascaras because I get through them quickly, the high-end brands I use aren't available in my town, and it's too tiring to keep traveling to different cities and ordering for it. I've been hearing many good reviews about this mascara from friends and youtube, so I decided to give this a go! I haven't tried it out yet, but I'm excited to see how it works on me! If you'd like for me to post a full review on this, comment below and let me know!
Forever 21 Cosmetics Bag
I bought this for two reasons: I needed a new bag to keep my skin-care, etc. products in whenever I travel, and because of MissGlamorazzi on youtube! I wouldn't have ever known about this bag if MG didn't include it in one of her haul videos. I thought it was sososo cute, so I had to buy it. And I carry a lot of products when I travel, and this fits everything in, including my massive hairbrush! I love this bag and now I want to travel everywhere so I can bring it along!
Sorry about the huge post! Since I haven't done one in a long while, I wanted to come back with a bang, haha! If you don't like long posts like this, please let me know in the comments. If there's any type of product/topic you'd like me to cover, let me know, again, in the comments!
PLEASE don't be shy to leave comments, I would really appreciate it if you left some!
Thanks for reading!
XO, Blue
