My Fashion Inspiration {February}

I read a lot of fashion blogs and I am always inspired by other bloggers.  Here are some of my favorite outfits I've seen this month.  These girls have some serious style.  Maybe you'll find a new blog to read.

Royal Blue







::Outfit Details::

Royal Blue Blazer ~ Forever 21

White T-shirt ~ Walmart

Bleached Destructed Skinny Jeans (Machine Jeans) ~ Alloy

Black Over the Knee Boots ~ Forever 21

Short Blonde/Pink Wig ~ eBay (see review here)

Lipstick ~ Cover Girl Outlast Lipcolor in Burgandy

You may notice my style is very random.  I like everything.  I have been like that ever since I can remember.  One day I'll wear some punk outfit then the next day look like I'm going to church.  It is kind of like my itunes library.  I always joked that if I lost my ipod whoever found it would think my taste in music is crazy.  If you do a shuffle you are bound to hear Lady Gaga then Rammstein then a song from the Lion King Soundtrack to a Brad Paisley song.  I like everything.  Is that a bad thing?  Is it weird that I am not into one particular style or genre? 

Thanks for reading and I hope you are having a good week!

Rainbow Leopard







::Outfit Details::

Black Faux Leather Moto Jacket ~ Forever 21

Black T-shirt ~ Walmart

Rainbow Leopard Leggings ~ eBay

Black Chain Booties ~ Deb Shop

Short Blonde/Pink Wig ~ eBay (see review here)

Lipstick ~ Cover Girl Outlast Lipcolor in Burgandy

Obviously, I took these photos a few weeks ago when there was still a bunch of snow on the ground.  The snow has mostly melted but it is still pretty cold outside.  I know a lot of fashion bloggers are complaining about the cold and snow, so I'll spare you with my complaints.

I am loving bright colors this year.  So get your sunglasses out because the brighter the better in my opinion.  When I saw these leggings on eBay I had to have them.  They are so much fun and can't beat the price.  They were like $5.  They are one size fits all so if you are interested in buying them, be aware that one size in china is like a size small in the US.

Thanks for stopping by!  I'd love it if you would follow me on bloglovin' or through GFC so that you don't miss out on any of my posts.  I have tons of new clothes to show off, you won't want to miss anything.

Mixed Pink Yellow eBay Wig Review {Seller - ChenChen51bar}

Yesterday, I was wearing my short blonde and pink wig that I purchased on eBay a couple months ago.

Here is the current listing for the wig I was wearing from the seller chenchen51bar.



I already had a short blonde wig, but I always liked the look of pink on the bottom of blonde hair.  So when I found this one on eBay, I had to buy it.  For around $15, I couldn't resist.  

Here is a larger picture of the stock image.



And here I am wearing the wig.



(Both photos taken outside in natural light without flash)

Review:

This is one of my favorite wigs that I own.  In the stock photo, the wig looks shinier and the pink is subtle.  But, as you can see in my photos that it isn't shiny at all which makes it look real and the pink is really vibrant.  

It is synthetic, but feels really soft.  It does shed a tiny bit, but nothing major.  Other than that the quality is perfect and I have no complaints.    

As always, when you buy wigs from China they are going to take 3 or 4 weeks to arrive in the US.  No big deal to me.  Free shipping is awesome.  So I can't complain about how long it takes for delivery.

I highly recommend this wig and this seller and will buy from them again.

I hope you found this review helpful and thanks for reading!

Makeup Monday ~ Daily Makeup

Today, I decided to post my old standby makeup look.  This is how I usually wear my makeup except when I'm working.  Kind of hard to wear eye liner and mascara when dog hair is flying everywhere and dogs are constantly shaking water all over you.



Products Used:

  • L'Oreal Magic De-crease Eyelid Primer
  • Urban Decay Eye Shadow in Oil Slick
  • Prestige Eye Shadow in White
  • Maybelline Master Duo Eye Liner in Black Lacquer (upper)
  • Maybelline EyeStudio Eye Liner in Blackest Black (lower)
  • Wet 'N' Wild Eye Liner in White  
  • Rimmel London Scandaleyes Mascara in Extreme Black 
  • Cover Girl Outlast Lipcolor in Burgandy 


Stay tuned for info on the blonde and pink wig and an outfit post with this look.

I hope you enjoyed this makeup look and thanks for reading!

My Life Lately {In Pictures} Week 4


Remember that pink fabric I bought the other day?  I made this throw blanket for our bedroom with it.  I love how it turned out and it was really easy to make.


All winter long, our dogs lay in front of this space heater.  Geno, sometimes, gets really relaxed laying there.


The weather finally warmed up enough to melt most of the snow in our yard.  It is nice to see the grass again.


Pokey is sporting the one bootie look.  Poor dog has allergies and chews her foot until it bleeds.


We went shopping.  I told you I would spend my gift card as soon as I could.


Pokey is sacked out.  All the dogs love laying on this furry throw blanket.  So cute!

I haven't been up to much this week because of work and watching the Olympics.  Now that the Olympics are over, we can go back to normal.  Work has been super busy lately and I picked up another day so that kind of sucks.  On the positive side, I'll have more money for clothes and decor stuff.   

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and thanks for reading!

Sequin Skull and Stripes








::Outfit Details::

Sequin Skull Sweatshirt ~ Express (Gifted)

Black and White Striped Pants ~ Forever 21

Black Patent Leather Combat Boots ~ Charlotte Russe

Black and White Checker Board Baseball Cap ~ Claire's

Sunglasses ~ JC Penney

Skeleton Gloves ~ ? (Old)

Lipstick ~ Lime Crime Lipstick in Countessa Fluorescent

I wore this outfit the other day when my hubby and I went shopping.  I bought these pants before Thanksgiving last year and they fit really tight.  I was so happy when I put them on this time that they fit perfectly.  They were actually a little loose.  I've now lost 27 pounds and have 11 more pounds to go.  My goal is to lose the rest by my birthday (which is in 36 days).  Wish me luck.  I'll need it.  

If you didn't realize this is my real hair.  It is the first post (recently) with my real hair.  Yes, I smash all that hair under wigs.  If you have thick long hair, you can still wear wigs.  

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend and thank you for reading!

February Wish List



1. Faux Fur Moto Jacket
I have been wanting a leopard print jacket for awhile.  It is exactly what I was looking for.

2. Red Loose Eye Glitter & Sugarpill Bright Red Eye Shadow
I really want to try out a red glittery eye shadow look.

3. Neon Yellow Patent Pump
I love that neon's are in again.  I'm an 80's girl, what can I say.

4. Tripp NYC Studded Corset
I am a punk rocker at heart.  When I saw this studded corset, I instantly was in love.  A little out of my price range.  Hopefully, I can get it if it goes on sale.

5. Polka Dot Pump
Another item that is out of my price range (especially for shoes). But, I am obsessed with polka dots.  I literally have polka dots everywhere in my house.  So I have to have these in my wardrobe. 

6. Skull Print Cardigan Sweater
Skulls are another one of my favorites (as you will see in my next outfit post).  This cardigan is so fun and I can't wait to add it to my wardrobe.

7. Fuchsia Skinny Jeans
I don't own any colored pants at all.  Just blue jeans or black pants.  I am excited to try outfits with colored jeans.  A new look for me.

8. White Tulle Skirt
I know midi skirts are in right now.  But, I have always been into tulle skirts.  I tried making one for Christmas and it turned out really nice, but it isn't perfect.  I would rather just buy one next time.    

I may have already bought something on this wish list.  You'll have to wait and see what it is.

Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!
