1. Headphones A must for listening to music. I like the ear 

buds but I also want to get some regular headphones. 

2. Wallet/passport/ID

3. Phone 

4. Scrunchies/hair ties/bobby pins I like putting my hair up so its 

out of my face and I don't have to really fix 

it especially if it's a late or early flight/ trip. 

5. Keys 

6. Watch Adds to your outfit and easier than checking 

your phone all the time for the time. 

7. Water bottle  

8. Book pass the time

9. Makeup bag BB cream, concealer, eye shadow, mascara, 

Chap stick, and because I might get bored nail polish.

School Essentials for summer

5 Topshop Favorites

Hello Everyone!

So one of my all time favorite shops is Topshop. Sadly, they don't have a store where I live. So the only place I can look at their things is online. They also have a new summer line so I feel like this post is just supposed to happen. Without further adieu, here are some of my favorite pieces from their new summer collection.

Sporty Ribbed Tee

This is super easy to dress up or down. 

Casual: high waisted denim shorts (or dungarees), some high-top converse, 

maybe silver or rose- gold midi-rings and a bowler bag.

Dressy: black skinnies (or a Zara wrap skirt), black or red heels, red lips, 

and a  structured tote bag. 

TIKA2 Sparkle Slip Ons

Normally I'm not really into sparkles, but I really like these 
shoes. I would mostly wear this really casual (i.e. ripped skinnies or 
high-waisted shorts and a cut-off tee) but I'm sure with 
the right accessories you could make this more dressy. 

Short Sleeve Rib Crop Tee

I'm really loving crop tops recently and this color is so pretty. 
Casual: Ripped skinnies, white converse, Effie Satchel and 
a silver watch 
Dressy: high waisted wrap skirt (or high-waisted pleated shorts), 
Nude (or black) Strappy heels, with a black over-the-shoulder tote bag. 

Tangle Teezer

This Isn't really a 'fashion' pic but honestly I cant say anything bad about this.
This has become a go to for my bag. I recently bought one,
it wasn't this specif one but it works just as well. After hearing
loads of positive reviews I decided to pick one up and
oh my goodness it works so well. I have really long hair that
tangles super easy so this is like a little miracle.

Black Hair Scrunchie

This last pic is more of a stable item. I think everyone should 
have at least one scrunchie. Maybe its hidden deep at the bottom of your
drawer or maybe stuffed in you bag next to old pieces of still-packaged gum. 
Either way you can never go wrong with a scrunchie.

Sorry this is more of a filler post. I promise I will do a big post ASAP.
love you lots and as always, Hope everyone has a good day.

Summer outfits

Hello Everyone!

summer is officially here! With that comes: fun sandals or wedges, rompers and gorgeous glasses. But I have yet to sort through my closet and put all my winter things away to make room for more cooler clothes. So during my procrastination I have put together some outfits for the summer.

What are somethings that you guys are putting in your summer wardrobe?

Am I missing anything in mine?

My Winter Must Haves

Hello everyone, 

For this next posts I had some ideas bouncing around but i didn't get the idea for this one until I stopped thinking about it so much.Looking out my window the snow has covered just about everything there is about 17 inches of snow that has dropped since last night, and i thought a good idea to incorporate the weather (even if where you are the weather is different) is to share with you some things to keep you warm during the Winter/Fall.

1. Hats, Scarves and things.

- Beanies (neutral colors like white or black, a Maroon or a Forest Green would suffice as well)

- Mittens/Gloves

- Big Furry Hat (For really cold days i like to wear this kind of hat plus it's adorable)

- Wool/Long Socks (These go great with black or brown boots or just to wear around the house so your feet are cold on the wood floors)

- Knitted or a Big Scarf (Scarves could be used as a great pop of color with a plain black or white coat or you could just get neutral colors with a 'busy' outfit)

         2. Sweaters and Tops

- Fitted Sweater (this is good with black skinny jeans and a coat)

- Over sized/Chunky Sweater (one of my favorite things about winter is that you get to wear sweaters and they can be big and loose)

- Collared Sweaters/ Tops (I like mixing patterns and getting regular sweaters but then put a collared flannel underneath sometimes you can get sweaters that already have it with the flannel underneath)

- Tops (get a short {or if you prefer a long} sleeve top and put it underneath a sweater to create layers and make it more comfy and warm)

 3. Denim

- Long sleeve collared Top (this goes great as a layer under or over sweaters and tops. I normally look in the men's  section just because It's bigger and the material In my opinion is better)

- Long Dungarees (or overalls, are a great and comfy option for wanting to dress casual)

- Light/Dark Skinny Jeans (also good for the summer or you could wear black skinny jeans; which i currently wear practically everyday) 

4. Black

-Tights (Black tights *top left* are good with a dress or a skirt and wedges or boots for a somewhat dressed up look. You could also make it more casual by adding a wool coat with a navy/maroon or a green Pinny dress/Pinafore and white converse.)

- Collared Long-sleeve Tops (These are great paired with a cream wool coat or a colorful coat)

- Back Trousers ( one of my favorite words- Trousers. These are good with oxfords and a long-sleeve top. I like them because their super comfy)

- Leather/Bomber Jacket (Leather is good for all the seasons and bomber jacks are great for the winter because they look just like a leather jacket but their lining is more plush so their warm and comfortable)

 5. Coats and Jackets.

 - Safari Jacket (I think these are good for every season If you wear it right)
- Black/Cream Colored Wool Coat (can be dressed up or down)
- Hoodies/Faux lamb lining jackets (Warm and you can put them under a wool coat for layering)

6. Sweats

-Flannel (Don't forget to get comfy clothes for lazy days)

- Sweats

- Long Sleeve Tops (great for layering)

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 

okay so I know I'm a bit behind but I think I'm going to have to change to only blogging Saturdays but I'm not sure yet I am still ironing out some things.

Hope everyone has a good day/night wherever you are! And thank you for reading my blog.

5 Fashion Related Things I Have Been Loving

Hello Everyone,

 I'm back for a another post. By the time you read this It'll be February 1st! I can't believe time has flown by that quickly. Before typing this I was having so much difficulty with blogger. I think It Is safe to say my laptop was getting close to being thrown out the window. However, I collected myself and thought no Lauren I'm sure the neighbors won't like seeing a laptop thrown out the window. Anyways getting back on track- I had said in My First Blog Posts that I was going to talk about whatever popped into my head and since I have been hooked on fashion recently I thought today's post should be something along those lines so here are 5 things that I've been loving that I have managed to fit under the Fashion category in someway.  

1. So the first thing on my list is the e.l.f. eyes lips face pallet. This is a cute compact pallet to carry anywhere and its neutral tones so it could go with really any outfit. I love the colors and once tried to do a smokey eye look with some of the swatches. I  had paired it with an over sized knitted light brown jumper and some black skinny jeans, but like I said their neutral tones so they could go with anything.

2. The second thing that I've worn recently are colored lipsticks. I just got into lipsticks about a year or two ago and before the idea of colored lipsticks or lipsticks in general was daunting to me. I wasn't very brave to wear them. You might be wondering why in world lipstick would scare me but its a scary product if you've never considered it before. But now I've broken out of my shell and have ventured out in the world of beauty. I love these lipsticks because their a) bold and b) perfect for the colder weather. 

   

     (This is the BABY LIPS 'strike A Rose' by Maybelline New York. 

    This moisturizes while adding some color to your lips. I like to wear

   this if  i'm going to school or out 'n about and don't feel like 

   re-applying lipstick every time it smudges.)

 

   (This is by NARS and it's called 'Shanghai Express'. 

     I love wearing this if I am going out with friends or to 

        dinner. It's a deep red color that goes well with any skin tone.)

 

      (This is by REVLON in the shade 'Rum Raisin'. This is a 

         red-ish brown and is absolutely perfect for the Winter/Fall.)

3. Two words Nail. Polish. I am going through this weird faze where I paint my nails all the time. Is that weird? I'm not sure. I have at least a full tub of nail polishes- some that i haven't even opened yet and somehow I always go out and buy more. Here are just  a few I have worn recently.

Ciate 'Ivory Queen'

(Currently wear at the moment. 

this is a very pretty mate nude.) 

NARS 'Dovima' 

(A Christmassy mate red. 

Ignore the awkward smudges)

e.l.f. 'Mode Mauve' 

  (This is a mate color as well and It's kind of 

   a brown-ish purple though it may not look like it)

Color Club 

  (It doesn't have a name because I had gotten in a

    pack of twelve at a Drug store but you can look 

  for a color close to it. It's a cranberry-red)

4. Another thing that I have been loving are Oxfords. I got these at a Nordstrums Rack so their not the original Oxfords but their close and their pretty comfortable. And as you can see I have used these several times. 

5. When I was thinking about the fifth thing that I have been loving I was starting to run out of ideas. Sure There were other things but none were fashion related. Then I realized I was neglecting the one thing that I have been wearing since my friend had picked it out one day. My heart-shaped Necklace. I had gotten this necklace at Old Navy so It is not expensive and Its simple - not too over the top. I wear this with really everything.

I Hoped you've liked this 'surprise post' I guess you could call it since I posted yesterday. What are some things that you've been loving? Is my Obsession with Nail Polish weird? tell me in the comments and have a good rest of your week.

**Oh and sorry for some of the pictures that look like I had copied and pasted from craigslist (no offence), I guess that's what i get for late night blogging. I'm working on it. **
