Opinion on Trends

For those of you who may not have noticed; I like fashion. On this blog, I try to make looks that I love in conjunction with today's trends and timeless looks. For the sake of budgeting, I WILL buy a "knockoff" of something trendy at the moment that I know within a year from now the likelihood of me wearing it or it remaining a part of my ever evolving style will be slim to none and I find it ridiculous to splurge on an item that may not last. I have books to pay for, as well as other necessities on top of my academic responsibilities. Its not what you wear it, but how ;-] Look like a million, spend less than a hundred is pretty much a code I live by. It is EXTREMELY rare I wear an outfit that costs more than $150. Main reason being many items in my wardrobe being thrifted or gifted. Style comes from within, not your wallet or a name brand! Check out this article for another perspective.That's my piece for today. Xoxo, Dej

New Lipsticks

I went to Rite Aid yesterday (it was my 21st birthday!) I got hair skin and nails and flaxseed oil pills (rich in omega 3's and omega 9's), an Eco Tools eyeshadow brush, and a pair of eyelashes. Reviews on the rest coming soon. <Br>
First thing's first: the lipsticks are from wet n' wild. The colors are C901B (Think Pink) and 903C (Just Peachy). Both colors are matte, which is great for me because I have been searching for lipsticks without shimmer! They glide on great and give good shine. It won't break the bank, and Rite Aid had a special where you buy one, get another half price.

Shoe Post

Jeffrey Campbell ankle booties (see more wedge high heels)
This is a design from Jeffrey Campbell. I am not sure which season or year they are from but they are flippin GORGE!
The Design is called "The One O One Fur". I love the designs that Jeffrey Campbell has. They inspire my creativity and imagination. They. Are. Fashion.

DIY Denim Necklace

Just strung some strips of denim together with some beading wire. May string some beads into some of the strip, but it'd have to be a neutral color so it won't clash with any outfits I'd like to pair it with!

OOTD

Hey guys!
Today has a high of a whopping 99degrees! Sooo, I decided to "get sexy on 'em" *Kelis voice* hehe
I got the dress about a week ago from HandM for only 12.95 (they have various prints available! I have to go back for more).

Revamped HOOTERS tee

I'm not done yet, I cut and hemmed it into a tank and fringed it. I plan to add beads or some other accent. Stay tuned! =}
