Month In Review: September

Hey guys! September was yet again another busy month at work. I had to find a way to keep it all together and organized and I did! I found an new iPad app that has truly changed the way I plan my days out. It's called Amazing Note. This app is 3.99 but its basically a high tech planner and think about how much we all spend on planners at the beginning of the year. 

Here is an example of what Amazing Note can do! 

On the fashion side something I loved this September was finding great jewel tone pants. I found these pants at The Gap and I absolutely love them. I bought them full price but they are currently on sale. 

What I Wore

Pants- The Gap

Shirt- J. Crew

Belt- Calvin Klein 

Shoes- Nine West (old)

Wow guys I can not believe August is already over. This month I did not do much shopping so I sadly don't have any cool new products to show you. However I do have some outfits I forgot to share. I think the theme for this month was using what I forgot I had. I have been digging through my hall closet and finding things I bought back in college and mixing them with new items. Here are a few  things.

Month in Review: July

July has always been my favorite month of the year; mainly because it is my birthday month. This July was jammed packed with activities like going to Canada, being a bridesmaid in my friends wedding and of course turing 25. 

I am always looking for new apps to waste time with and I think I found a new favorite. It's called Song Pop! Basically it's Name That Tune for the 21st century. This app is available on iphone, ipad and android phones. 

 Dress-H&M 

I can't be the only one who keeps seeing photos on Instagram with these cool light spots. Well I wanted to know where people where getting this cool effect and this month I figured it out. I achieve this effect using PicFx. 

I am a total Esty stalker. I look at products but I never buy anything. Well a week ago I decided to finally purchase something. I got this beautiful gold and plastic chain bracelet and I am in love with the quality and how light weight it is.

Month in Review: June

I am a bit sad that the first month of summer is over. I have been spending my days doing a whole lot of nothing and frankly I love it! I enjoyed June but I am so excited that it is finally July; because of my birthday of course. 

Urban Decay Perversion Eyeliner

You guys know I am a fan of pretty much anything Urban Decay makes; so when I was out of eyeliner I rushed to Sephora to get a new stick of Urban Decay Zero. Well I saw Perversion and played around with it and decided to give it a try. Guys I love it! I know it's cliche but it truly glides on like butter! But that isn't my favorite part... I love that it actually comes off when you wash your face. I feel like extra black eyeliner never comes off but Perversion comes off easily with make up remover. I recommend this eyeliner to anyone who likes black liner; it's a must buy! 

H&M Grand Opening 

 About a year ago H&M started airing commercials on Houston television stations and it drove me crazy. For years I have made a point to visit H&M whenever I visit cities that feature the store in their local malls or shopping areas. Well Dallas was the first Texas city to get H&M and saying I was a bit bitter is an understatement. In early January rumors started that Houston was finally going to get a few H&M stores and I prayed it was true. At the end of May H&M opened in a mall about an hour away and I was more than happy to visit it despite the long drive. H&M must have heard my prayers because just last week they opened a store fifteen minutes away from my house and I was more than happy to drag Christi to their grand opening. Christi and I waited in line for 7 hours so we could say we were amongst the first 250 people to visit the store. 

We didn't leave the grand opening empty handed we received a free drawstring backpack filled with goodies like H&M notebooks, a T-shirt, a jewelry pouch and a purse hanger. 

I bought tons of things at the grand opening but I just had to show you guys these amazing pants I found. I have no clue how I'm going to wash them... Any ideas? 

 

Fifty Shades of Grey 

I mentioned to you guys at the end of May that I had started reading Fifty Shades of Grey and I am now pretty much obsessed with the series. I have already read two books who have been dubbed copy cats but I still can't get over these books. I like many of you spend time trying to figure out who could play Christian Grey in the movie version of the books but I'm still not sure. 

Month In Review: May

If you guys feel like I have been slaking on post then you are totally right! I have been extremely busy this month with end of the year stuff at work and reading. I have always enjoyed reading however I have succumb to the hype and started reading the Fifty Shades series. I tried so hard to not like the books however I just can't stop reading them! 

Let's talk about some things I loved this month:  

I found a new station on Pandora called 2000s Indie and I am hooked! It reminds me of late high school and all of college. Every single song is amazing!!! If you like Indie music then you have to listen! 

Several of my friends have talked about a website called Shoedazzle. I know that Shoedazzle has been around for years however I was always skeptical. My shoes arrived on Thursday and I was delighted to see that they were nicely made and comfortable.

 Jean shirt- Forever 21

Shorts- Zara

Month In Review: April

April was a pretty low key month however I did gain a bit of weight and realize I shop way to often. So I decided to (drum roll please)...

Go 30 Days Without Shopping! 

I started my no shopping experiment on April 23rd. I can not buy shoes, clothing or accessories until May 23rd. I made this decision after spending the day cleaning out my closet and seeing that I have tons of things that I actually like and I do not really wear. I also gained weight and I would like to challenge myself to weight less when I do finally go shopping. 

Month In Review: March

So here we are, another month flew by. Which means one thing to me... summer is coming! A few weeks back I finally broke down and bought an Iphone. And I must say I am completely obsessed with Instagram! Here are a few pictures that can sum up my month. 

 Spring came!! 

 I took a painting class! 

I'm not going to lie, I spent a lot of time freaking out about my tree but I am happy with it. 

 I became a bit addicted to Draw Something. 

I pretended to be Irish :D

And I feel in love with colored jeans!! 

Let's talk about the outfit:

Jeans-Zara

Shoes- Gianni Bini

Shirt-Forever 21(old)

Month In Review: February

February was a pretty uneventful month. I challenged myself not to go shopping this month and I did it!  That explains the lack of outfit of the day post. Here are three things from this month that I have found useful or obsessed over. 

I bought new running shoes! I got new Nike running shoes. I just love them. 

I bought these new markers for work and I just love them. 

Of course February is the month for Girl Scout cookies!
