Merry Christmas!!

Hi Loves! Sorry that I have been MIA for the last couple of months. I've been taking this time to enjoy more time with my little one. Like I've mentioned before I work full time and for the most part during the holidays I have more time available. So I take advantage of it and spend as much time as possible with my cuddle bear. Time is life's greatest thief! I wish I could slow down time because he is growing up so fast 😢.

What I love and enjoy the most is laying in bed with him longer not having to worry about getting him ready to drop him off at the babysitter and myself ready for work. I also love to hang around my home cook breakfast, lunch and dinner and watching movies. Normally every year for the holidays we would drive around from family to family to visit everyone but this year since we have Luke we decided that we were going to stay home and enjoy quality with him since its his first Christmas. I have been loving it!

I would love to know what you enjoy the most during the holidays or what are your traditions? leave me a comment below....😀

Just wanted to stop by and wish you a Merry Christmas! I hope all of you are spending it with all the ones you love!! 💗

Xoxo,

Fall Liquid Lipsticks Favorites

Happy Sunday Loves!! Hope you all had an amazing weekend. I pretty much spent my weekend catching up on cleaning and laundry you know the fun stuff...lol. It was one of those weekends where you plan all these fun things because you know we will have beautiful weather then you realize that you have all these cleaning to do but not only that the hubs worked a night shift Friday night so he was exhausted. Let me know what you did this weekend besides watching the Astros Game lol 😆

Ok so now lets jump to todays post 😄. Today I will be sharing my favorite fall liquid lipsticks. I own a lot more than I could possibly use but you know a girl can never just have one lipstick. It doesn't help that all these cosmetic companies keep coming out with the cutest make up and it makes you want to buy it all...lol.

So after going through my lipsticks I narrowed it down to these 7. I pretty much carry all these in my purse. I know who carries these many lipsticks in their purse?? I do! 🙋🙋🙋 lol

First one up is this Dose of Colors liquid lipstick in the color Stone. Let me just say that this has been my favorite lipstick since it came out. When I can't decide which one to wear I end up wearing this one. Stone never fails me! lol Needless to say that I have repurchased this one twice. 

This one is from Colour Pop in the shade Mess Around. This is actually light than what it shows. Its a deep mauve and it looks amazing with grays! Plus its very inexpensive. My favorite are the satin finish they are amazing.

 This on is also from Colour Pop in the shade Lyin' King. I think its the perfect pink for the fall. I love it and think this looks great in all skin tones and its a satin finish.

 Here we have a Stila Liquid lipstick from Stila in the shade Aria. To me this one is very similar to the one above only that this one has a purple hint. I'm obsessed with it and its very comfortable to wear. I know many liquid lipstick are very drying but this one is not. 

 This one is one of the most raved about liquid lipstick by you tubers. This one is by Kat Von D in the shade Lolita. When it first came out it was sold out everywhere I was so happy to get a hold of one. Let me just say that now I know why. Its such a beautiful color. Every time I wear it never fails that some one asks me which lipstick I'm wearing.  

Lastly, This is one is another Colour Pop favorite in the shade Frick N' Frack. Let me just tell you all that this is definitely a dupe for Lolita. Side by side you can tell a that one is a little darker but once you have it on they look pretty much the same. If you are in the hunt for Lolita or if you are wanting to test it you can get this one for a fraction of the price for Lolita!! 😁😁

Left is Lolita and right is Frick N' Frack

Here are swatches of all my faves!! 😀

I would recommend to definitely check our Colour Pop their prices are reasonable.

So this is it. I hope you enjoyed this post and let me know if you have any of your own that are your favorites so I can check them out! I think can fit a couple of new ones in my collection 😜...lol

Thanks or reading 😊😊

My Vanity

Hi Loves! So today I'm sharing my vanity with you all. Having a designated are where I can do my make up everyday is very inspiring and motivating. When I decided do it I had no clue where to start and I really didn't know exactly what I wanted yet. All I knew was that wanted something small, different and cheap. We all know that when it comes to buying furniture it quickly adds up and becomes expensive. So I came across this desk from Ikea which I'm mostly used as a desk and not really a vanity. I thought it was perfect because it had a glass counter top and one large drawer plus it was small. I started off just with the desk because the mirror didn't come with it so it was purchased separately. I didn't come across the mirror until about a year later while shopping at Marshalls. Luckily I have a handy husband that managed to attach it to the desk. It was challenging but it was worth it because it was exactly what I wanted.

So this is the way it turned out. I think the mirror fits perfectly and its the perfect size of mirror. The ghost chair was also purchased at Ikea and the sequins pillow is from Home Goods. 

I like to keep my vanity clean and organized. For the most part all the decor and organizers we purchased at Home Goods. I love flowers I love to have them all over my home. When I saw these flowers I thought they were perfect for my vanity. They are white and come in a rose gold sphere vase. I also love to have jewelry organizers and where I can display my statement necklaces. Basically any items that inspire me.

I also like to keep my current perfume on hand especially if they have a cute packaging because in a sucker for cute packaging..lol Reason why I display anything in cute packaging.

I'm a hug fan of jewelry. I have tons and for the people that know they know I'm not lying...lol. I just believe that accessories give outfits and totally different meaning. On my vanity I like to display my current favorite statement necklace which is this one from J. Crew. I also like to keep a tray to place my everyday watches. These adorable deer head ring and earring holder is my fave this is where i keep my stud earring that I wear on daily basis.

In the large drawer I store all my make....well most of it because I like to display my eye shadow pallets around my beauty room. I used a couple of acrylic organizers to keep my blushes, bronzers, some individual eye shadows and lipstick in place. 

I've had my vanity for almost three year it has hold up pretty good and I can say that I've gotten my money's worth. From time to time I like to rearrange and change the decor to give it a different look and for inspiration.

Well this is it and I hope you enjoyed my vanity tour!

Thanks for reading 😄

Try On Collective Haul

Happy Sunday my loves!! Well October is here and it should officially be fall by now but that is not my case. I live in Houston and I don't see it near any time soon 😞 I'm ready for sweater weather!!! 😁 I'm not even going to lie the struggle was real shooting for this post I was sweating like there was no tomorrow lol I don't know how my fellow Houstonian bloggers do it. If this is the sacrifice I have to do then I'm there because my love for clothes and shoes is stronger! 😂😂 So without further ado let's jump to the subject of today's post 😀 Sweaters! yes sweaters lol I, as many other bargain shoppers start our fall shopping a lot earlier than other just because most stores have preseason sales.   Normally most people don't think to shop for fall that early especially Houstonians lol. I was able to catch some sweaters on sale that I just couldn't pass on it. 

Forever 21 is one of the sites I like to shop i always find tops, sweaters and accessories and very reasonable prices. Most of the sweaters I purchased ranged from $8-$15 on sale. they had a lot of the cold shoulder sweater which are in trend this fall. 

Express also had a sale 50% off plus I had a coupon that I was able to use on top of that. I saw this pink cardigan and I instantly fell in love with it so I had to have it. It is an over sized cardigan so I had to down size on it. Pink is in this fall which makes me so excited!! 😁😁 

This sage cold shoulder sweater is another favorite! I ordered this one from Forever 21. I love the ruffles around the cold shoulder area and the color is right down my alley. 

Here is another oversized sweater that I picked up from Express. I love the puffed sleeve detail and the length is just perfect. I tend to gravitate to longer length tops and sweaters because I'm pretty short and I feel like they make me look a little tall.

This olive thermal sweater is from Forever 21. I like the low line in the back and the neck line. It is short from the front and longer in the back so it is perfect to wear with leggings.

Now this number is also from Forever 21. Its a high neckline and cold shoulder sweater in a rust color. Love the color and its perfect for fall. 

Forever 21: I love to wear white all year around so when I saw this cardigan I knew I had to added to my wardrobe. I love the braiding detail in the back it different and I love pieces with unique details.

Forever 21: This is another cold shoulder sweater. I love how it ties on top of the shoulders. Sorry didn't realize that I cut off the detailing on the shoulder. This picture doesn't give it justice. 

Last but not least I picked up this pink knitted sweater from H&M. Omg! its is the softest sweater I own. I love the color and the style. It had my name all over it so I had to get it 🙊😂 Here I paired it with my nude mules which have been my go to lately. 

So with all this being said I hope mother nature hears my cry for cold weather and I hope it gets sent our way ASAP! 😂😂😂  

Thanks for reading!

My Favorite Spring/Summer Earrings

I'm excited to share my favorite earrings from this Spring and Summer. I've always been a huge fan about accessories specially for statement earrings and necklaces. I must say that this year it has been more about the tassel and fringe statement earrings not so much of the necklaces like the year prior.
Statement earrings can be pretty pricy but I have managed to find some at pretty good prices. My favorite earrings are from bauble bar I know I know they are pretty pricy but since its end of season i was able to pick some up on sale. So check them out they have a sale going on right now!! 😃

Most of the earrings featured are from bauble bar. If you guys didn't know bauble bar has a collection at Target for more reasonable prices and they also go on sale so if you are wanting some I advice you to stop by the jewelry section at Target and check what they have on sale.

Ball drop earring have also been in this Summer. I was able to pick up the pink ones and pair of maroon ones for the fall at Ross for on $7....I know thats pretty cheap!! So check out your nearest Ross.

The white flower sequin earrings are J.Crew I was able to find those on Ebay for less than half price. That was definitely a steal! I love them because they are white and I can wear them with anything.

Just because these are summer colors it doesn't mean that you cannot wear them in the fall. I will be wearing a few of these this fall because it looks like this fall the whites and pinks will be trending. 

With that being said....happy earring shopping 😄 Leave your comments and questions below and subscribe to my blog to stay up to date on my posts!

One Necklace,Three Styles

Let's talk about that one piece of accessory that you just can't stop wearing! Well, for me this is it. This beautiful turquoise slab necklace has been my fave this summer. I think its one of those versatile pieces that you can just throw with any outfit. I have gotten a great use of it this summer and I will definitely continue to use in future summers because turquoise never goes out of style.

Here I paired it with an vibrant orange satin blouse and these bow mules. I love turquoise paired with orange I think they compliment each other very well. Now these mules!!! Aren't they cute!! I knew they were a must when I set my eyes on them. They have a chunky heel and they are very very comfortable I have been wearing them non stop. 

You cannot go wrong with a white lace dress. I love this combo also and I paired it with the same mules. White and turquoise make the perfect color combination for a Sunday fun day out to brunch! 

....And I can't forget the pink! lol Love love this pink one shoulder ruffle dress. I get so many compliments every time I wear it. If I had to choose I would probably go for this combo. Which one would you choose? Let me know in my comments. 😁😁😁😁

Thanks for reading leave me your questions and comments below 😊

My Inspiration

What's your inspiration? I believe that there is always something or someone that inspires you to do things. Growing up I always had an eye for decor, trendy clothes and accessories. I've always been a girlie girl and I think that I will never grow out of it. I mean pink is my favorite color and no matter what I always gravitate towards pink. Which kind of explains the name on my blog lol. I always say pink is my neutral it doesn't matter what I wear pink never fails me. For that reason I surround myself with the things I love and that keep me inspired. So I put together an inspiration wall in my personal space at home that keeps me inspired and makes me happy! 😊

A wall of pretty things! Things that make me smile. A wall full of items that I have collected through out the years and place in a wall that has become an inspiration. Every morning I wake up and I walk into this room and it motivates me to get ready to tackle my day especially on Mondays because its one of the hardest days of the week for me and I feel like I'm not alone on this one. They say when you look good you feel good and that is one quote I live by because its true. Nothing makes me feel better than throwing on a pink lipstick, some cute earrings and a pair of cute shoes!

In these shelves I included items like storage boxes and gift bags from purchased items that were just too cute to trash, my Essie nail polish collection, make up palettes, some statement necklaces, coffee table books, perfumes, artificial flowers and some framed quotes. I've purchased most of these items in Home Goods and Ross. 

What girl doesn't love shoes? Because this girl does 🙋😄 Here I just added some on favorite shoes.

Thanks for reading!!
