Last Halloween costume blog for the year and I'm kind of sad about it. You all know my love for makeup, dressing up, and spooky season. For the final costume I decided to be a spider. I am not a fan of spiders at all but I am pleasantly surprised by how cute I felt in this costume. Sometimes you just have to dress up as your fear and maybe it will become smaller. Coming up with ideas for costumes can sometimes be difficult but choosing animals and creatures in the wild is always a good go-to that I end up...

Third costume is here and it is a clown. A clown Halloween costume will always be a popular choice for people. It is fairly easy and can be interpreted so many ways.

This gives us a great opportunity to combine different elements of each season to make the perfect outfits.    Tennis skirts have been all...

The season of new beginnings is here and in full force. Something about 60 degrees and flowers blooming really makes my heart happy, the allergies on the other hand I could live without. Working at a clothing store makes it pretty easy for me to add pieces to my wardrobe to allow me to keep up with the trends. Trends this season include; PASTELS, hair scarfs, small floral prints, babydoll dresses, and trench coats or blazers with shoulder pads. I'm usually a person that loves to wear neutrals but something about the spring makes me want to wear all the...
