Scarf It Up! #1

Sooo...I went shopping again...and this time for fall accessories. I decided that I needed to purchase some new scarves for the upcoming fall and winter seasons. I traveled near and far to find the perfect scarves for this very fashionable season and I finally found some!

Charming Charlie was the answer to my prayers. After going through the store, I noticed that there were a few small sales going on. Sales that would greatly impact my closet and my new fall wardrobe.

Even though there were two amazing sales, I could only take advantage of one at a time (or at least until I got my next paycheck). So..I took advantage of the 2 for $20 deal on their nicer and more luxurious scarves, seeing that the deal had been going on for a week or so prior to me visiting Charming Charlie.

I purchased a long fire-engine red scarf that is soooo soft and luxiourious! I couldn't believe it was one of the scarves included in the 2 for $20 deal. The second scarf I purchased was the first scarf that caught my eye that day. It was a black, red, and white British-like scarf with English cars and such on it. Even though it is a shorter scarf, I am soo happy that I found something so adorable that could be included in the deal.

Below are the two amazing scarves that were purchased for the 2 for $20 deal. The other scarves that were purchased the following day will be shown in a later post titled, "Scarf It Up! #2."

I hope you all enjoy reading about my shopping excursions and my fun fashion finds! If you have any ideas of what you all want me to write about next, just post it below! Until next time my lovelies!

Mini Jewelry Haul! - Fall Jewelry!

Soo I know my last post was about purchasing jewelry, butttt I couldn't help myself and I purchased a few more pieces. 

I went to my local mall yesterday and I browsed around Forever21 and Charming Charlie and I found a few adorable pieces of jewelry that I new would be perfect for this fall's fashion. 

The three items above, are from Forever21. The chartreuse heart studs may not be in season this year, but I was in desperate need of some chartreuse earrings that matched one of my statement necklaces. The gold leaf necklace I felt would be perfect for fall 2013 fashion because it is simple and it is the perfect gold accent to any outfit. The gold cross studded studs I purchased to go with one of my t-shirt tanks that has gold studded shoulders (I know it is hard to visualize, so I will be posting the outfits and such in a later post). Each of these pieces were only $1.50 a piece. 

The bottom two pairs of earrings I purchased from Charming Charlie (yes, from their clearance section...shhh). The burnt red dangle earrings I felt were a perfect crisp autumn color to accent any fall outfit. The black and white flower earrings with a gold accent I felt would go with absolutely every black or white piece of clothing in my closet. Each of these pieces were $3.99 each.

I hope you enjoyed seeing, yet again, another mini jewelry haul. Until next time! -FashionistaForever<3

Jewelry Haul!

Hello my lovelies! I'm sorry I haven't been keeping up with my blog. I've been super duper busy with homework, exams, work, and school in general. But, I can somehow always find ways to shop throughout the week. After all, my school is only 10 minutes away from the mall.

So as most of you know, I have a major addiction to jewelry and accessories in general. So when I came across a new store called Glitter, I couldn't resist. Especially after I found out all of their makeup, hair accessories, and jewelry were $1 each! Yes, only $1!!! So in a nutshell, I went crazy at that store. I also couldn't resist visiting another favorite jewelry and accessories store, Tinkerbell.

In my entire shopping spree I purchased 9 pairs of earrings, 4 rings, and 1 bracelet. In the picture below, it will show you all where each item was purchased and how much it cost.

Take a peek at the adorable jewelry I scored and let me know which piece is your favorite :)

I hope you enjoyed checking out my new additions to my jewelry collection. Until next time!

New e.o.s. Flavors!

Hey y'all! It feels like I haven't posted in eons! I've been super busy with school, work, and life. So today I went to the store and purchased a much of makeup and beauty products and I figured it would be the perfect thing to blog about!

So, these e.o.s. flavors may not be brand new to you all, but today I went to my local Target and found these three amazing e.o.s. flavors! I have looked everywhere for new flavors and just my luck that I find these yummy e.o.s. balms.

The Strawberry Sorbet e.o.s. balm was my first e.o.s. balm ever, and I loved it! After having it for a little over 1 month, I have noticed that the balm's flavor and scent has changed and weakened. I figured, why not try a few more flavors. So today I purchased Honeysuckle Honeydew, Sweet Mint, and Blueberry Açai at $2.99 a piece. My favorite out of the three is Honeysuckle Honeydew because it smells AND tastes like honeydew melon! It's a super sweet lip balm, I would definitely recommend it and all of the others.

Go out and try an e.o.s. for yourself! There are many other flavors to choose from :) Until next time!

This is it!

The day I have been waiting for, for over 12 years, the official first day of college, is today! I am so excited to be attending classes at ASU this fall! The whole concept of having different classes each day is a little new to me, but I'm sure that I will get used to it in time. Today's classes consist of only Introductory Sociology and the club fair that is towards the end of the day (yes, I know it isn't a class, but it is an extra thing that I am planning on staying on the campus for.)

Every year it is a tradition for me to take a picture of my school supplies and books that are needed for the year (or in my case, the semester).  So I wanted to share my school supply pictures with you!
I won't be labeling every single thing I have, just the important things.

So without further adeue, here is my collection of school supplies for this year!

My bag is from Steve Madden (my absolute favorite designer), originally priced at $189.00, and I purchased it at Marshall's for $39.99.

The books I will be using for this year are Intro to Sociology, Basic Calculus, BIO 182 book package, and The Lexus and the Olive Tree (for my Agribusiness class).

Well, I am off to school! Wish me luck! -FashionistaForever<3

Tech Talk Tuesday-Tuesday August 20, 2013

Hello and happy Tuesday! Today is the craziest day of the week for me. I am headed to ASU's main campus today for my college's assembly and the Sun Devil Welcome assembly. I will also be attending the Gavin DeGraw concert tonight after the Sun Devil Welcome session. Ahhhh! I can't wait for this crazy day to start! :D

Today's tech accessory is the one I will be using on my phone today.

This iPhone 4/4S case is a black and white zebra bling case that I purchased at a store called Rainbow (which is the new version of the store 5,7,9 ) for $1. These kind of bling cases are usually not cheap so I was super excited when I found out this case was only a dollar! Unfortunately, you get what you pay for. The first few days of using it a few gems came off when I put my phone in my shorts pocket and now the empty spaces are starting to grow the more I use it. The only reason I'm wearing it today is because I wanted to use a super blingy phone case since I won't be wearing that many accessories today.

I hope you all enjoyed today's Tech Talk Tuesday segment! I will (hopefully) be uploading a picture of my outfit of the day today and pictures from today's festivities, so keep an eye out for the posts that are to come! Until then! -FashionistaForever<3

Inspiring Messages from a Fellow Blogger

Many of you have probably heard about the YouTube made famous blogger and entrepreneur, Michelle Phan. But what some of you may not know is that her reason for publishing videos on YouTube is not just for pure enjoyment, but for making girls feel confident with themselves and making them know that it is okay to be yourself. I have recently discovered Michelle's video called "Underneath Your Love" and the message she was relaying through her video really hit home with me. I too am one of those girls that feels like I am not good enough for certain people and it often reflects from how I dress and act in public. I feel as if I had to reform to society to fit in with the crowd and to be noticed by the people that are "out of my league." Michelle has taught me and many other girls that you do not have to change to enhance who you really are and that there is never a need to change yourself for the benefit of someone else. No girl, or any person for that matter, should have to hide who they truly are.

Thank you to Michelle for reaching out and telling us, your viewers, that each of us are special and that we should stay true to ourselves, no matter what.

Don't be afraid to watch this and be inspired! Also, check out Michelle's blog to be further inspired.

(I do not own this video or any of Michelle Phan's material)

I hope you all enjoyed this post and were somewhat inspired to find a way to loose your "mask." I think it is only appropriate to end this post in the words of Michelle Phan..."good luck." -FashionistaForver<3
