California's Dry Weather = Me Pampering Myself With a Facial Mask

It's currently nearing midnight.. and I'm spending the rest of my night before sleeping doing the obvious...  blogging LOL. =)  You guys can't see, but I'm actually pampering myself with a wondering facial mask right now that will hopefully replenish my skin with all the moisture it needs! =)

As we all know, California is known for it's sunshine and "wonderful" weather!  It's true that we get all the vitamin D we need...but seriously... the humidity is super low... which causes my skin to be super dry throughout the year!  And with it being Summer, my skin is probably crying for help without me know.  =(  Hence ... me treating myself to a facial mask! =)

Anyway, enough with that.  I've been away from my blog for a couple of weeks now... and sigh... I've been pretty busy lately!  I think my life can be a roller coaster sometimes, there's always something new that comes in and out of my life, and it just takes me some time to adjust to everything!  Hopefully everything will tone down soon... and I'll be able to add my blogging time into my daily schedule! =)

Oh! Below is my outfit of the day & my nails of the weeks! =)


Please excuse my OOTD's picture quality!  haha I actually had it taken with my the camera on my new phone, which I'm pretty disappointed with.  Anyway, I think this outfit totally reflects my style.. laid back and comfy!  =)  



And these are my nails of the week, aren't they adorable?  =)  haha I'm absolutely in love with my nails.. too bad they've starting chipping!  

Yep, this is it to my little update! =)  I hope everyone has been doing well, and have a wonderful week!  Good Night, and it's time for my to remove my mask!! =) 

xoxo,

JEWEL TONES HERE JEWEL TONES THERE

I wanted to blog about my Outfit of the Day tomorrow, but for some reason...I just can't fall asleep.  haha Perhaps my day wouldn't feel complete unless I blogged about my outfit? lol  Anyway, for those who have read my previous blog post (HERE), the topic was about Summer 2013's fashion trend - Maxi Dresses, and how I'm totally in love with them! =)  And I guess with that being said, it's no surprise that my next OOTD would include none other than me wearing my current favorite Maxi Dress! =)



This dress...is absolutely gorgeous!  The Jewel Tones are absolutely beautiful, and when I saw it on the rack, I just couldn't say no to buying it!  I'm a huge fan of the nature, and the natural vibrant jewel tones LOL childishly made me feel like a Naturistic Fairy Garden Princess...or something along that line! =)  haha nothing looks better with this dress than Nature's Greens and Sunny Light!  



My dress is a statement piece alone and is quite versatile, and because I didn't want to look overly dressed up, I went easy with the accessorizing... What I basically did was throw on my Aztec-like sandles that helped dress down my outfit (but matched at the same time), and finished my look off with a beautiful stone necklace from Monet!  



I used to never wear Maxi Dresses, because I thought they were only for formal wear, and were too difficult to pull off.  I realized that as I've grown older, I've become more daring with my attire.  I've started to try clothing pieces that I would use to say "never" to, and I'm so glad that I'm exploring the different paths of fashion! =) haha 

I feel more myself than ever! =)

Alright...I think my day is complete now... GOOD NIGHT EVERYBODY!

Summer 2013 Fashion Trend Inspiration Board: MAXI DRESSES

Summer Summer Summer!  

As I have mentioned in my previous post, Summer is one of my favorite seasons! =)  And it just so happens that one of Summer 2013's most popular clothing trends is also one that I adore!!!  Can you guess which one I'm referring to?

MAXI DRESSES!  

Lol... I've never been a huge fan of Maxi Dresses until this year.  For some reason, I've always had the impression that Maxi Dresses were too formal to be worn on a regular day, but I totally take that back!  It all depends on how you style the rest of your appearance with your dress that determines how formal or casual your outfit will appear!  And when I say the rest of your appearance, it includes makeup, accessories, jewelry, and hair!!

The reason why I love Maxi Dresses...is because they're so easy!  What do I mean by easy?  Instead of taking the time to think about what pieces to include into your outfit, all you'd have to do is slip on a Maxi Dress, and wallah!! you are ready to go (unless you want to take some time to match your dress with jewelry =)) ! lol  I think I've mentioned a billion times already...but I'm the type of gal who loves comfort!  I can't stand wearing things that are too tight and will have me feeling uncomfortable the entire day; therefore, Maxi Dresses are one of the greatest fashion inventions to me! =)  Besides them being easy to wear and match, they also look quite stunning on! =)

I've been a huge Lookbook.nu addict lately!  I love how much creativity and style each lookbook individual has ... and so with that being said, below is a collage with pictures that will hopefully give inspiration to those who want to style their Maxi Dresses for various occasions! =)
