Kat Von D Tattoo Liner and Elizabeth Taylor

Sorry if this post is kind of all over the place, my mind is so scattered lately and I don't know why! I'm waiting for my new planner to come in the mail, so maybe I just feel disorganized knowing I don't have one? I'm not sure.

Anyway, I finally got my Kat Von D Tattoo Liner in the mail! Oh my gosh you guys it's heavenly.

I'm such a stranger to liquid liner though! I used one when I was about 13. It wasn't mine, so I think it was my sister's. I found it in my bathroom and I was curious and I think you can guess it was just a hot, hot mess.

The next one was Covergirl's Intensify Me! liquid liner. I loved it! Now I've graduated to Kat Von D.

I'm still trying to perfect the art of the cat eye, but it's a lot easier with the Kat Von D. The Covergirl Intensify Me! didn't give me a line as thin as I would have liked but it was badass at giving thick lines, lemme tell ya!

I'm striving for that Elizabeth Taylor look.

When I wear this liner I feel like I should dress a certain way. I can't decide if I want to dress super classy, or more badass though. 

I feel like that is pretty fair middle ground, don't you think? Classy with a spiked statement necklace and the spiked earrings? Yaaaaas. 

I dressed a little more edgy for class today though, and I was loving it. Complete with my winged liner of course! 

Seriously though, the Kat Von D Tattoo liner has really amazing staying power. I wear it over primer (Urban Decay Primer Potion or the Lorac Behind the Scenes Eye Primer) and it lasts all day, but I don't have an oily eyelid problem so I can't speak for the people that have that issue. It just glides onto your eyelids effortlessly with no tugging whatsoever. 

I'm in love, and that's all. 

Do prefer liquid, gel, or pencil liner?

Currently Loving - Army Green

I've never been keen on this army green color, but it's been growing on me lately. I think I wrongfully put it in a "bleh" category for a reason unknown to me. 

Bra - Pants - Top - Scarf - Eyeshadow - Earrings - Skirt - Bag - Dress

Some may call it "olive green". I really think it is a great color for fall, I'm hoping I can find a nice coat in this color. 

I can't wait to try this trend! An army green top will look so good with some distressed jeans and lace up booties. Smokey eyeliner too, obviously. Maybe I'll wear a whistle around my neck and blow it when people are taking up the entire sidewalk and/or walking too slow. Hmmm...tempting. 

Are you going to get into the army green trend this fall?

Disney Princess Makeovers

I'd like to pretend I know a lot about art, but I don't. It's something I'd like to master, and I use the word "master" loosely, when I have spare time. 

In my internet browsing time, I've seen a lot of revamped pictures of Disney princesses, and I'm a fan of most of the ones I see. It's cool to see modernized versions of my favorite characters from my childhood.

Cinderella inspired outfit

I realized while I was making this that I don't own any capris. I miss wearing them, I need to get on that!

I could post these all day, I have so many saved. But I'll spare you the time and leave with just these beautiful previews. 

Which Disney princess is your favorite? 

Shop! Inspired by Daenerys Targaryen

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you drank water over the weekend. 

I'm so behind catching up on Game of Thrones, and every time Daenerys Targaryen comes on the screen I swoon at her outfits. She goes from looking like a desert badass to a pretty, flowy queen (or Khaleesi). 

She kind of has the Greek Goddess look about her, but she also wears leather and asymmetrical skirts and tops. Maxi dresses appear a lot in the show - mostly blue, grey, white, and other dusty colors. The only time you ever really see her shoes is when she is wearing boots, but you can't go wrong with sandals.

Woohoo Target! They have temporary tattoos that would work so well if you're planning on going out for a night with a Daenerys inspired outfit. And anything with a dragon on it will be appropriate. We are being inspired by the Mother of Dragons, here! 

H&M had an awesome selection of maxi dresses. I love the asymmetrical grey dress that they have. She wears a lot of asymmetrical skirts in the beginning. Those earrings look a little bit like dragon eggs or dragon scales, too! 

And finally, Kohl's! That skirt is perfect for this look. Asymmetrical and dark grey! All we need now is a brown crop top, some black fingerless gloves and boots and we'll be in business. 

Are you as addicted to Game of Thrones as I am? What do you think of the Khaleesi herself? Do her outfits inspire you? Let me know what you think! I hope you all enjoy the rest of your Monday! 

Inspired by: Jelly Bellys!

John is in class so I got a hold of my computer to do a post while I can! The Blogger iPad app is way too frustrating. 

I don't like normal jelly beans, but I do love some Jelly Bellys. 50 whole flavors to choose from! Even though some of them are really gross, the good ones are good. My favorites are Tutti Fruitti,  Strawberry Daiquiri, and Mixed Berry Smoothie. The super fruity ones of course. So here is a post in honor of these (mostly) good candies! Enjoy your sugar high!

A Jelly Belly cocktail seems like a pretty good idea! Actually cocktails in general are always a good idea. I found this one on Tablespoon.com and changed it up a little bit. It sounds almost too sweet, so I probably wouldn't be able to drink more than one. It's a cute Easter/girls night/cocktail party/other occasion drink though. 

Ingredients

3 oz cotton candy flavored vodka

1/4 cup Bubblegum and Very Cherry Jelly Bellys

2 oz orange flavored liquor

ice

optional: 6 red and pink Jelly Bellys (you choose the flavors) and lemon slices

Directions

1. Place 2 martini glasses in refrigerator 1 hour before serving. In small bowl, pour vodka over 1/4 cup Jelly Bellys. Cover and refrigerate. 

2. Fill martini shaker with ice. Shake the bowl with the vodka and Jelly Bellys. Strain into shaker and discard Jelly Bellys. Add liquor and shake well.

Optional: add 3 Jelly Bellys to the bottom of each glass and garnish each with a lemon slice.

3. Serve immediately and enjoy!

I'm almost disgusted with myself for making an outfit this girly. But how can you not with a name like Tutti Fruitti?? I was thinking about heels with the dress but I think the blue Vans are adorable. This would've been a super cute Easter outfit but it's still wearable for spring/summer.

A little less girly, a little more polished. I LOVE lace shorts for this summer. Reminder: get as much use out of your blazer as you can before it gets too hot! But for real I'm really loving lace this season. Actually I love lace every season but I am in dire need of some lace shorts/lace skirt. 

Well I hope you got a sugar high just from reading this post. I have a jar of Jelly Bellys over on my desk that I'm going to go devour now. 

If you did end up trying the only water this week challenge, how are you doing? I was actually doing alright with my water consumption up until I wrote that post. I guess thinking about it made me really crave a sweet tea and a coke. Ah well, back to water I go I guess. I hope.

Don't forget, giveaway coming soon! I have most of the items collected, just waiting for a few more! 

What's your favorite Jelly Belly flavor? 

Inspired by: Chinese Blue & White Porcelain

My mom LOVES blue and white plates and decorative figurines, and I used to be obsessed with anything oriental (still kind of am actually). I saw some blue and white kitchenware in a shop on King Street yesterday and got a little nostalgic, so I decided to base a blog post on it!

I don't know why so few people have heard of DENY Designs. They have some of the cutest prints and color schemes for any room decor you could possibly want. This shower curtain is in the print "Blueberry", and they have pillows, blankets, duvet covers, wall prints, and a whole lot of other things in this print.

The Chinese designs are so ornate and beautiful, but the blue and white colors are pretty simple. I think they balance each other out very well. Blue and white porcelain became popular in China in the 14th century, though it was probably around before that. From what I understand, the blue and white porcelain was fairly expensive because it was made with cobalt, which was more expensive than gold at the time.

Oriental Outfit

This is just a simple little outfit for spring. The blue and white shawl is light and breezy, and has an oriental look to it. I think gold accessories would look nice with this because the porcelain plates and such often had a gold trim on them. Stacked bracelets have been growing on me lately as well. Unfortunately for me, it's hard to find bracelets that fit my tiny wrists.

Gingham

Gingham for spring! This would be adorable for going to a garden party or any outside event for spring really. I went with rose gold instead of gold for this one, no real reason really other than I like rose gold. And stacked bracelets/watch yet again. Just pop on some wedges, grab a cute tote bag and your sunglasses, and you're ready to go!

If anyone can do their nails like this, PLEASE send me a picture. That is ridiculously beautiful. If they are nail stickers, I really need to find them.

This is a little more doable. I've never tried the OPI Matte Top Coat, or any matte top coat for that matter, but I do like the look.

Just saying

Just saying, again. 

So, what do you think? Would you decorate your house in some blue and white porcelain? Do you like the oriental influences? Also, let me know what your favorite matte top coat is for nail polish. Seriously, if anyone tries those nails, send me a pic.
