Long Time No See...

Hey, all!

I haven't written in forever but thanks to studying for the step, it's been really difficult... but since I have been waaaaay too lazy to take pictures of my outfits, I don't have a record of my outfits. But since I have been on my butt a lot doing nothing but studying, I do have pictures of my nails so here are some of my nails!

NOTD 1: Silver Tip + Accent Nail with gold and silver overlay

NOTD 2: Longing for the Beach from my small apartment room 

NOTD 3: Night sky and Sunset 

NOTD 4: Pastel Plaid + Silver and Gold Overlay

Hope you enjoy! Thanks for visiting!!!

Hi, all. Hopefully people who are running into my little blog is having a better time in their lives than I am. With taking time off to just study for the step, I haven't really felt the need to go out or really get dressed out of my PJs for that matter all that often. So I've been in bum mode and really just have some fun with nails and making food. Yes, I do realize that I should be studying but one can only study for so long at least in my room that is... Probably the worse choice in my life to agree to have a TV in my room. There is so much on TV that you can watch when you absolutely have to study, don't you think?

There is a wedding coming up in the next few weeks or so so I'll actually have to be dressed up and since I'm visiting the boy's family, I'll actually have to look decent... which leads to... more shopping!!!! YAY! I have been able to score a few cool things on great deals lately which I am super excited about that I'll post in the near future. But currently, some of the things I have been able to procrastinate with are my nails. I have to say with the amount of times that I have been changing my colors, I still SUCK at applying even coat, especially the pretty light pastel colors. But I have been getting better at doing gradient nails. After being submerged in the sciences for so long, doing my nails provide a much desired creative outlet my little brain wants.

Please ignore my funky looking fingers... I was all sorts excited when I found the bluish-purple nail polish in my collection and since only having one color on my finger nails bore me, I rummaged through my pile of nail polish for the next perfect colors to do gradient nails with. I don't know the nails of the bluish-purple and the red-glitter polish that I used because both came from the mini nail polish collection SEPHORA always puts out during the holidays and the middle pink/silver glitter color came from AVON. Then I finished the top off with a red glitter top coat just at the tip to intensify the red color. I have to say that this is one of my most successful gradient look yet! Now onto the first of a few hauls that I did...

My first pair of Miu Miu shoes. I actually got these for a great price from Neiman Marcus. This particular pair is a little too big for me, but since they were soooo pretty and they didn't have it in my size, I just got the larger size but I re-spotted on their website for smaller size, so I'm just waiting on those babies to arrive! Hopefully those will fit better! According to the website, it's about 4.7" high so it is a fairly high heel but it is still comfortable although having the shoes not slip off my feet may help increase the comfort. But I do love the soft pink sole and the velvet bow. I don't always go for super girly shoes, but I had to when I spotted these.

Hope y'all have a nice day!

New Nail look

This is a nail look that I did until the nails chip or get ruined on me since I'm terrible with my nails... Gradient nails are not as difficult to do at home as a lot of people may think. It just requires more or less the right consistency of the nail polish and a little patience.

Base: Sephora by OPI base coat
Gradient: Sephora by OPI "Already Famous"
Glitter: Sephora by OPI "Don't be Eggnog-ious'
Top coat: Sally Hansen Hard as Nails UV Top Coat

Don't You Hate it When the Weekend Doesn't Feel Like the Weekend?

Since I had school yesterday all day and was supposed to go to school today but I didn't. With another day of school tomorrow, it doesn't feel like a weekend. It feels like a Wednesday where I just decided to play hookie. But nonetheless here is the outfit that I wore yesterday... It is a repeat from about 2 weeks ago... or was it a week ago, I don't know for sure but I did change up the jacket. What do you think? Do you think it's too busy with the scarf instead of the faux fur collar? I kind of like the thick scarf...

 Scarf: Banana Republic

Jacket: Denim & Supply by Ralph Lauren 

Plaid Shirt: A & F

Belt: Hollister 

Jegging: Les Halles 

Boots: Palladium 

Also decided to change up my nails once again... it felt too much like the Dallas Cowboy's colors... thought I'd change it to my favorite team New Orleans Saints :)

Black: OPI for Sephora "What's a Tire Jack?"

Gold: OPI for Sephora "Looks Like Rain Dear"

Friends.... Forever and Ever?

Hi, all!
 As plain a day it was today, I feel like today was eventful... it's weird... and while a lot of the events that went on were great, there still is something that has been bugging me that crept back up from the back of my mind... 
As corny as it is, two of my favorite people and I traded "BFF bracelets." It was a coincident that we found a triple BFF bracelet at Claire's and it was even more of coincidence that the bracelets had 2 black figurines and 1 white figurine. The group is very UN-like, a black girl, a white girl, and the Asian girl... so as a joke, we decided to give the one white figurine bracelet to the black girl of the group and the other two to take the black figurine bracelets. It was perfect, because we always made fun of her for being "white." So it was funny and sentimental how perfect the bracelets ended up being.... 
While that part of my life is going perfectly... one of my favorite person from the past became... I guess, not so favorite? I guess I can say that he became my ex-best friend of some sort, which was and still is heart-breaking, because he was the one person that I went to vent, to bitch and moan, to talk, to do everything besides to the boy... I feel sad because I feel like I lost a great relationship... and I feel sad because I feel like I have been lied to... I guess one can't have all great relationships in all forms but I also don't like the feeling that I feel like I have been lied to. I still wonder if I did anything or something happened that I didn't realize that would have hurt him in some way? I don't know... we don't talk anymore... we don't even say hi. When i did talk to him about it, he gave me a half-assed answer of "It's hard since we don't live near each other" but you don't have to live near each other to say hi and talk during school... I don't know. So my heart's been aching a little at the loss I guess but I also gained great gals as my pals... so I guess I have to take in the good with the bad? 

Since I didn't get to post the outfit from yesterday, here is a double dose of what I wore yesterday and today with my nails... enjoy!

Say Hello to My Little Friend....

Just received my latest addition to my mice collection... who can stop themselves from saying "awwwww" to these lovely shoes? 

I couldn't update yesterday with school nearing the end... it's just hectic trying to cram as much information as possible... the weather decided to get sunnier for a bit although it seems a little colder... 

Anyone ever had to deal with a crazy b*tch roommate that you wish you never made the mistake of living with? Well, I did so I've had to deal with that drama for a while now... I thought all people had low points but a person to go down to this level, to hit a new low, is new to me. I guess I was lucky up until now that I didn't have to deal with a super crazy person but wow. What kind of person damages something in the apartment and then lies to the landlord that someone else did it? If you want to get attention, just get it from another person. Don't cry victim and don't lie. If you are jealous, just deal with it in your private time. Don't get innocent people involved in your stupid life. Get your head out of your sorry @ss and look at the world with honesty instead of twisting reality to fit your lies. It is amazing a person who is the same age as me is THAT immature and that CLASSLESS... just plain PSYCHOTIC. I mean, what happened to you when you were a child that you are this damaged now? But whatever, thankfully that classless b*tch is leaving before the month is up and I'll get new roommates next year. THANK GOD. I'm sick and tired of trying to always be the good guy and take her hi*t but of course in her twisted head she doesn't think that, but whatever. What would you do if you were in my position? Well, that's the end of my little rant of the day.... 

But here are the outfits that I wore yesterday and today. Enjoy!
