TBT to V Day.

Summer is approaching and this definitely no longer "cuffing season", but i thought I'd share these photos I took not too long ago on valentines day. Very lack luster to say the least, considering I'm as single as a pringle! Nonetheless, living in California has me spoiled when it comes to beach weather but, I'm still super excited for Summer 16'. I see Vegas, pineapple margaritas, and vacation tans in my future. Im on the hunt for the perfect bathing suit so stay tuned for that!

Eternal Sunshine.

Hey Lovelies,

 so today is a makeup post. I love to keep a bronze look on my face because not only does it accentuate my skin tone but it can be as natural or dramatic as you'd like. You can either use lashes or show off your natural lashes, either way bronze is the way to go especially as summer is soon approaching. 

List of products:

Foundation - Loreal Pro Matte foundation

Concealer- L.A. Girl pro conceal in Fawn (face)

Loreal true match in W4-5 (highlight)

Eyeshadow - MAC Temped on lid

MAC Saddle on crease

MAC Brown Down on outer corner 

MAC Vanilla under brow bone 

Highlighter - MAC Soft and Gentle mineralized skin finish 

Bronzer- NYC smooth skin bronzer in Sunny

Blush - MAC blush in Peaches

Lips- NYX Natural lipliner

MAC Freckletone lipstick

Back Like I Never Left.

Hello Loves,
Its been almost 4 years since I've posted anything on this blog. A lot has changed in my life and I decided to take a break for myself. I was 19 when i ran my blog and now ill be 23 this year. I'm sure you can imagine how different I am these days! Back then my blog was primarily outfit posts and was centered around fashion. Don't get me wrong I still love dressing up, but I want to slightly shift gears on the content that I write about. This blog will be more of a "lifestyle" blog.  Nothing is off limits. Clothes, shoes, makeup, hair, relationships, you name it, ill talk about it. It's a scary idea to try an blog again after so long but its a part of my life that I truly miss and hopefully you guys will enjoy. Ill try and post as much as I can, as I am a student, but I regularly post on instagram if i don't have time to write. Thank you guys for visiting my blog!

Motel Rocks!

Motel Rocks Jessica Open Back Play suit C/O Motel Rocks | H by Halston Ankle Strap Heels | Neon Bag from F21 |  Cat Eye Glasses |  Accessories from Target & F21

 Hello again Lovelies! Today's post is somewhat of a rant and rave. My rave would be the fact that i am now in love with Motel Rocks and my rant would be the fact that i didn't find out about this brand sooner. Motel Rocks carries so many pieces that are so on trend and provide a little bit of a twist to them. As you can see from the back of the play suit i wore, it featured a nice open back detail that gave a really unique addition. Right now for the summer they have a great selection of dresses, skirts, and play suits like the one i wore today. You guys should definitely check them out and you can click on this link here to do so. As far as the rest of the outfit i thought i would incorporate the neon trend with an all black outfit. I've seen a few people do this trend and i felt that a semi-monochromatic color-scheme would help the neon pop just that much more! Also peep the new hair. I'm so excited about the fact that i ombred my hair and i think its such a nice little change for summer. Ha i guess I'm somewhat of a blond now! But speaking of summer i am more than anticipating practically living on the beach, shorts and sandals being an outfit religiously, and enjoying all that California has to offer.... All of it !

Swift Trip To San Diego.

Here's a quick compilation of San Diego through my eyes. I took a weekend trip and these are just some of the images of what my trip consisted of. I was surprisingly greeted by so many colorful birds from the hotel lobby and on the way to my room there was a mother duck with all her baby ducklings walking in a line. Truly a sight to see! If you guys ever want to have an unforgettable stay in San Diego i would suggest staying at the Catamaran hotel in Mission Bay. As far as fashion wise i wasn't able to take alot of pictures of my outfits due to it only being a weekend trip but i would say that i was definitely casual chic. In the pictures above i was in a more daring mood so i decided to clash patterns and mix my black floral shorts with my leopard loafers. I definatly loved the way it turned out. Even though the trip was a very brief one, its definatly got me in the mood to hit the road again!

I was in a colorful mood so hopefully this outfit appeals to the spirit of spring.

After so many plates of food i have to admit that I'm a little more than fatigued. Just wanted to share my outfit with you and wish all my followers a Happy Easter!

Reptilian.

Snake Print Dress & Boots from H&M | Jewelry & Bag from Forever 21

Ive never been too keen on football but when it comes to the Super Bowl i get so excited to enjoy all the great food. Its basically an excuse to invite over all the family and have a good time even if your not that into it. Amongst all the "football frenzy" i managed to take a trip to target to acquire some pieces from the Jason Wu for Target collection. Unfortunately i was too late and all the determined fashionistas had already cleaned out the racks. The feeling of utter disappointment would be a great understatement! Didn't have any luck online either. Oh well i guess somethings aren't meant to be. But ill be definitely looking out for the next collection.  Were any of you guys able to get lucky?

Anyways make sure you guys keep checking my instagram @livinglifewasted

to get updates on me and to see my daily outfits and inspirations!
