The Lying Game

Evening! I know its late, but I just had to do a post! I watch the Lying Games on a regular basis. I LOVE this show. Its sooooo intense! Tonights episode was especially intense! The twins in the show have killer style. Not to mention, there is some fine man candy (hehe). Just wanted to share some outfits with you guys that I am loving! I am thinking soon I will do an OOTD in which I try and recreate an outfit from the show!

Isn't he sooo hot?! New crush for sure!

Do you watch the Lying Game? What are your thoughts on the cast's style? What do you think is going to happen next?

DIY Bow Bracelets!

Hello friends! I was browsing Facebook & I came across a video from Macbarbie07. She did a tutorial on how to make leather bow bracelets! They are so cute! I can't wait to make my own. They cool thing is you can just use old purses. Just thought I would share :) Hope everyone had a great weekend!

XOXO Gossip Girl

Hello!
Lately I have been completely obsessed with Gossip Girl! Seasons 1-4 is on Netflix & literally, that is all I have been doing. Serena & Blair's style is incredible. Serena has a tendency to be more bold with her outfit choices, while Blair has the classy, sophisticated style. Both I ADORE! & they have the best hair! I am in love with Serena's wispy locks. They are beautiful when they are messy & windblown. Blair's hair is gorgeous when it is curled & when it is down up in pretty updos. & of course her signature headbands! Not only am I obsessing over their create sense of style, I have been green with envy of their lives! I find myself wishing I lived their lives, and wondering what I would do in their shoes. Crazy right?! Now I have a super strong urge to go to New York! Here are a few of my favorite outfits from the show :)

Inspiration: Lauren Conrad

Lauren Conrad is my idol. I think she is one of the most aspirational individuals in Hollywood. She started out in high school on a reality show called Laguna Beach on MTV & ended up as a successful business woman. After Laguna Beach, she starred in a spin off reality show called the Hills, which was highly successful. Instead of falling into the usually Hollywood cliche of partying & being unruly, she used her stardom to put herself & her dreams into action. She is not only a reality star, but a best-selling author, designer, & entrepreneur. She has a three part book series LA Candy and fashion book called Style. She has a spin off book series in the making, launching this spring, and a beauty book out soon. She recently launched a line of clothing called Paper Crown & has a line at Kohls. She also has two blog sites that are widely popular, which are linked on my side bar of my website.

The reason I adore her so much is because instead of changing for the Hollywood scene, she remained true to herself. She didn't abuse her new found fame. She used to to achieve her dreams and better herself. She has such incredible style and taste in clothes. I love her line at Kohls, and I hope one day to own a piece from her Paper Crown collection. I think she is one of the most gorgeous women in the world, and she is a role model to girls of all ages. I hope one day to be as successful as she.

Why do you like admire Lauren Conrad? Who is one of your role models?

My First OOTD!

Hey hey! So I am very excited because I am posting my very first Outfit of the Day post :) This post will include my outfit, makeup & hair. I hope you like it  :)

So today I went for a casual, comfy look that was still trendy. I got my plaid shirt from Target, my jeans from Hollister, my boots from Love Culture, & my necklace from Styles For Less. Unfortunetly I forgot where I got my tank top from. This outfit is one of my favorites. It is really cute for the day & can even be worn for a casual date. I think it is perfect for school as well. It's cute and it's easy to throw on in the morning.

For my make-up & hair, I wanted to comliment my casual outfit with a easy, natural-looking look. I used a peachy blush with soft shades of brown on my eyes. I used a darker brown in my outer crease. I used liquid eye liner on my top lid & used black mascara. I also filled in my brows. For my hair, I parted it slightly off-centered & did my bangs in a twist to the side.

If you want any further details about my look, just leave me a comment :)

DIY iPhone Covers!

Hello lovlies! My sister sent me the coolest idea! Its a DIY iPhone cover! Sounds awesome right?! Well all you need is a clear case & some cure paper, like scrapbook paper. You trace the outline of your phone including the camera whole & you just stick it in your clear case & there ya go! A one of a kind, custom iPhone case! My best friend just got her iPhone & when I told her about this she was just beyond thrilled! Than she came up with an additional idea! Why not use other things besides paper? Her idea was to take a Juicy Couture bag & use that as the paper! (We are HUGE Juicy fans!) So it doesn't have to be paper, it can be anything you find cute!

I will post picture when I finish my creation. Are you going to try this DIY project? Send me pictures in the comments of your new covers :)

Shopping Online

Good afternoon!
If you are a big online shopper, or you just love finding great deals than I have found something for you! My sister emailed me a link to a site that has really cute clothes for a really good price! They are super cute dresses & way adorable skirts. The prices are unbelievable as well. I was shocked! It's called Wholesale Clothing 4U. Check it out & let me know what you think :)

New additions to my make-up bag :)

Hey beauty lovers!
I have been living at Target the past few days. I spend at least a half hour roaming the three aisles of the make-up sections. & I have madea few selections that I am very excited about.

So the first thing I got was a new lipstick. It is Moisture Renew by Rimmel in the sahde Rose Blush (300). I really like it because it is a sublt pink color & its not to far from my natural lip color. I can a light amount on to ad a little bit of color or I can put on more to make my lips pop a little more. I really love it. Next is my new eye shadow palette. It is by Loreal in the shade Subtle Berries (504). The colors are really pretty & the compliment my eye color really nicely. I also got a new blush. It is NYC Color Wheen Mosiac Face Poweder in Pink Cheek Glow. It is really pretty and it seems to last throughout the day, which is a plus. I really like all the colors in the wheel. I was in need of a new face powder so I chose Revlon Color Stay in Light. I am not too sure how I like it. My face is really dry because of my eczema and it doesnt cover the way I would like it to. Hopefully once my dry skin is under better control, it will cover better. Lastly I got what I have been wanting! I broke down and got Baby Lips by Maybelline in Peach Kiss. I LOVE it! My lips are so soft now & it smells really good!

I also had a gift card to a jewelry & accessory store called Charming Charlies. It has tons of jewelry, all color coordinated. Its so pretty to walk in the store! Anyways, I purchased a really pretty cream colored heandband with a pretty flower on the side. I love it. :)

This the flower :)

What have you guys reccently gotten from your local drugstore?

Time for a change!

So for the past few months I have played with the idea of cutting my hair. Than my friend (hehe Janah) got hers cut & I totally love it! It looks so good on her & I am completely jealous. Than a dew days ago I made a rash decision. & I followed through with it. I have to say I am very happy with the results. (:

My hair is soooo much shorter than it has ever been! I have been growing my hair out for like 5 years. But I absolutely love my new length. It is so easy & I think it looks really cute. So thanks Janah for the idea!

Wardrobe update!

I was flipping through Pinterest & came across this super cute, super trendy outfit! I want each piece added to my wardrobe! Just thought I should share :) Each piece is from Polyvore. I never heard of it, so I will be checking it out! Let me know what you think :)

My wish list :)

Hey guys! :)
I am a magazine junkie. I love looking through them & getting inspiration & ideas. I keep most of mine as well. I have magazines from like 4 years ago! My faves are Cosmo & Seventeen. Flipping through the pages I have started to compile a list of wishes of things I need (okay, I just think I need them). I will share with you guys a few items off that wishlist. If you have tried one of the products, let me know how you liked it :)

Suave Waterless Foam Shampoo. I have tried a dry shampoo by Suave before & its awesome. It smells great & it keeps my hair fresh between showers. I am interested to try it in a foam version.

Baby Lips by Maybelline. I am a huge chapstick addict & I want to try this one so badly! I have picked it up a few times on trips to Target, just to wind up putting it back & waiting til next time. But my next trip to Target I will make sure it ends up in my bag!



MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation. I have heard great reviews on this powder & I want to try it out for myself. I usually don't splurge on my make-up just because I didn't see the need to, but recently I am finding that I cannot find a lasting foundation and powder combo that will not only cover up my imperfections, but last throughout the day.

Max Coverage Foundation Brush. I usually use my finger to blend in m foundation, but my sister used a foundation brush on me & I really loved it.








Two Faced Natural At Night Sexy & Sultry Eyeshadow Collection. I think this eyeshadow collection is really pretty and can be really great for day or night.

I hope you liked this post! Let me know if you have ever used any of these products. I am really excited to add them to my collection. What is on your wish list?! Alicia :)

Happy New Year!!! :D

It's 2012 already! It felt as if 2011 flew right by. But I have to say it wasn't a bad year at all. I made new friendships, fell in love & got a new job! Lets hope 2012 brings even more joy to my life :)

Now, I don't generally make New Years resolutions because I have problems with sticking to them (LOL), but this year I figured what the hell. I might as well. I have come up with a few that I think I can work with & keep on track.

Resolutions for 2012:
1. Lose a few pounds, ten would be nice.
2. Update my wardrobe. Try new styles that I generally would be nervous about.
3. Learn how to apply make-up properly.
4. Get rid of my acne! Gross. (already in progess!)
5. SAVE MONEY! I have really hard time with this. LOL.

I think my resolutions are simple enough to stick to & fun at the same time! Hopefully by this time next year I can check each one off my list :)

Hope everyone had a great holiday!

:)
