Little Haul

Hiya lovely reader! Long time no post, I know. I was on vacation for a few days but now I am back to reality! (And cold weather, how about no) Anyway before I left I did a little shopping so I thought I would share what I got with you all. 

First, I love H&M and it's basically become my go to for anything clothing related. Fashionable and affordable. I got this cute sweater on sale. It's obviously Disney themed, 101 Dalmations. I liked it because it's fun and a bit sporty looking with the stripes. It's also oversized which is always nice.


Next, I got this little dress from Forever 21. I think it's perfect for spring and summer. It's has a cute floral print with black trim. The trim is my favorite part. Perfect with a pair of sandals or wedges!


Now onto some makeup. I had been using the Covergirl Liquiline eyeliner and I really liked it. I saw this though and decided to give it a go. I looked like basically the same product and was a bit cheaper. I have been using it for about a week now and I love it! It goes on so smoothly! 


The final purchase I made was this Urban Decay Travel-Size Trio. It includes the 24/7 Glide on Eye Pencil in the shade Rockstar, the Eyeshadow Primer Potion and the All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray. I had used the primer and the spray before and loved it, so I thought this pack would be nice to have.


Have you done any shopping lately? Xx

Essie: Cashmere Bathrobe

Hello lovely reader! I hope that your Saturday is going swell. Just wanted to do a quick post to share a nail polish that I am currently loving. With spring nearly fully here, this is probably the last dark shade of polish I will wear for a while. I was given an Essie mini polish set for my birthday and I love the colors. The shade I have tried and adore is "Cashmere Bathrobe". 


It's a dark gray but it has little specs of light gray mixed into it. 


I only needed two coats to get full coverage. 

What's polishes are you currently loving? Xx

Spring Scents

Hi lovely reader! Spring is on its way and that means the flowers will be blooming, Cadbury cream eggs will go on sale, and it's time to break out some new perfume scents! For the spring time I love to wear fresh and floral scents. I thought I'd share three perfumes that I will be wearing this spring.


I realize that this isn't a perfume but it smells nice and is a perfect thing to have when transitioning from winter to spring. It is the L'Occitane Fleurs de Censier Cherry Blossom Hand Cream. This lotion smells amazing and also keeps your hands nice and soft! It's not greasy at all and absorbs into the skin very quickly.


The first of the two perfumes is Daisy by Marc Jacobs. I really love this scent for spring, seeing as it obviously has floral influences. "Fresh and feminine, with a playful innocence. The heart of Daisy is floral with vintage edge of violet." I was given this, so I am not exaclty sure if you can buy the ring. Along with Daisy I also like the fragarance called Eau So Fresh. "A whimsical interpretation of the original Daisy fragarance, this scent is more fruity, more bubbly, more fun!" The bottles for this and Daisy are so pretty!


This perfume I was also given, just recently and I really like it! See by Chloe, smells fresh and clean. It's described as embodying femininity "while blending masculine codes in an urban-chic way." Love it! 

What scents are you loving for spring? Xx

Little ASOS Haul

Hello lovely reader! I hope your March is going well so far! One thing that I love about blogs, YouTube, and social media in general is the fact that you can learn and be introduced to so many different things, places, and people. A perfect example of this for me is ASOS! I would have never known of ASOS had it not been for people talking about it on YouTube and various blogs. I heard about it a little over a year ago, made my first purchase a few weeks later and have been an advocate of it ever since. (Sounds like I'm campaigning) The thing that makes ASOS so great is that there's always free shipping. This eliminates the "Well it's cute but I'm going to end up paying an additional *insert shipping cost here*, and then what if it doesn't fit or isn't what I thought, then I have to ship it back, so nah I guess I won't get it." There is a bit of a risk involved seeing is they don't have acutal store locations, so you never know exactly what you are going to get but I think for the most part it's worth it. I have ordered various items from them such as a bag, an earring holder, dresses, and the stuff I will show you today. The majority of the purchases have been a success so I would definitely recommend it. Another thing is that if you sign up for their emails, there are always sales and even discounts off of sales! So now onto what I recently bought, one being a bracelet and the other a pair of jeggings.


The first thing that I got was this ASOS Yawn Bracelet. I saw it and thought it was adorable! It's cute, quirky, and simple. The quality is really nice and it fits my wrist. (I have quite small wrists, so this can be an issue)

The second thing that I purchased were these ASOS Jameson Low Rise Denim Jeggings, in the Jupiter Acid Wash. I was a bit nervous about these because I had never ordered any type of pants from them and they were low rise, which usually I prefer regular or high waisted pants. I tried them on when they came and was pleased with the fit. They are super soft and obviously stretchy. The waist isn't really that low and I plan on wearing them with longer shirts anyways. 


Do you love ASOS? Also I am in no way affiliated with them, just sharing my opinion! Xx

Favorite Looks: Oscars Red Carpet

Hi lovely reader! As you probably know, last night was the Oscars. The stars were out and rocking the red carpet. Personally that's what I pay attention to when they come around each year, what the people are wearing! This year, there was a lot of pastels and dark colors, beautiful embellishments and effortless draping. My personal favorite dress was the one Emma Watson wore. Her makeup was also gorgeous! These lovely ladies below are my picks for best dressed.


Agree? Disagree? Whose outfit did you like best? Xx

Dried Flowers DIY

Hi there lovely reader! Today I thought I'd share a little DIY that I recently tried.


I love flowers! I think that they can really add something to a room. Not only do they look nice, but they smell nice too. We all know that they don't last forever, they wilt and die, and that's that. So, I wanted to try to dry out some flowers that I was given for my birthday. They were also the backdrop for my March quote. I will leave the link that I used to learn how to dry the flowers. It has a step by step guide and even little video loops.  You can take a look at that and I'll also tell you what I did. I didn't end up drying all the flowers because some of them were beginning to look bad. What I did do though was use the petals.


I picked the petals off of three or four of the flowers and placed them on a paper towel on a baking sheet. I then took the flowers that I was going to dry, and followed these steps. I let both the petals and the flowers dry for about a week. 


I sprinkled the petals in the bottom of a glass jar. Then I took the flowers and cut them down to size, I arranged them somewhat by color, the lighter and smaller ones on the bottom and the bright bigger flowers on top. 


Personally I really like how it turned out. It's simple and sweet looking. I definitely want to try drying flowers again this spring! Have you dried flowers before? Xx
