AE, Forever 21, H&M, and Bakers



Just a quick run through of the products:


As I've already mentioned in the video, I am a big fan of American Eagle denims. The quality is really good and the ones I own seem to last forever. I like the fact that this short is a bermuda short so I won't have to worry about whether the length is appropriate or not.


This loose plaid shirt is perfect for everyday casual wear. I love the weight of this and the texture is so soft. Great to pair with jeans or shorts and very low maintenance so I like that a lot.



A beautiful cropped shirt this one is. I just love the colors so much. This shirt reminds me a lot of my mom and I believe she has a shirt similar this one with the same color pattern as well. Lol. In the second picture I wanted to show you guys that the shirt is perfect length, but once I stretch my arms or anything then it does show my tummy so I would most likely wear a tank top underneath, but tucked in like I have in the picture.



I adore this dress so much and this is definitely a great addition to my closet. As you can see in the second picture, the bottom portion is so full and that is what I love about it. Pair it with some heels to dress it up, or just wear flats for a more casual look. Either way, it is still cute!


Even though I am pretty petite, I love long dresses. They elongate my legs and make me look a lot taller than 5'2. Like I mentioned in the video, this dress will look great with a brown belt wrapped around the mid-section to add a little pop of color or it can be worn as simple as in my picture.


My two basic buys from H&M; nude color tube top and navy cotton skirt. The top will be great to wear under shirts that need additional layering or under a cardigan, as for the skirt, it can be worn casual or if you have plans for a night out, just put on some heels to dress it up.


Last is this pink cardigan. Because without the cardigan, I am pretty bare so I really like this addition to the outfit. It makes the outfit more wearable and appropriate. This outfit will look great with both heels or flats.

Since I used self-timer to take my photos, it couldn't capture my whole body and I forgot to take separate photos of the shoes so forgive me! I hope you guys enjoyed my haul and until next time, take care! =D

Easy 3 Minute Side Bun

Sorry, I've been away for almost two weeks now. Like I mentioned in one of my latest video/blog, I've been so busy lately, working and running errands, trying to get things submitted before their due dates, and the list goes on and on. It will surely, yet slowly die down a little I hope.

I've been trying to stay away from heat tools whenever possible to improve the health of my hair. I have thick and slightly wavy hair so I used to always straighten my hair everyday when I was still in school. It will usually take me a good 15 minutes to straighten my hair and now with the really high southern temperatures, I'm always sweating like crazy while at it, but this new hair style takes literally 3 minutes to do only. I came up with a messy side bun and I have been loving it so much, it is definitely my everyday hairdo now.





Usually whenever I have a messy do, I would pin my strands of hair to create the messy effect and I'll end up using well over 15 bobby pins. This hairstyle, because I braided it first, pulling on the braid causes the messy effect and I only need about 5 bobby pins to pin the hair away.



It's messy, but it still looks nice and with the correct hair accessory to dress it, you can transform it into a formal hair style.




Hope you all enjoyed! ;)
