Happy New Year!

It's 2014! I feel like just yesterday it was the beginning of 2013 and I was anxious for my birthday. This year not quite. I have a ton going on this year and I'm very glad that year is behind me because it definitely had its ups and downs. I was able to spend my New Year's Eve with my family in Mass, though I missed my New York family very much! Normally I posted my options or what I was deciding on wearing but I wanted to do a New Years post so I thought I would save it for now. 

             

My dress was from Forever 21 and I snagged it when they were having that deal of free shipping with any $30 purchase so all I ordered was this dress and a nail polish. My stockings are Navy also from Forever 21. My Brooklyn boots were gifted to me for Christmas by my sister, there from Burlington Coat Factory. For makeup I kept it simple, on my lips I wore Lolita by Kat Von D, my eyeliner is from MUFE, and my mascara is benefits bad gal lash. I enjoyed myself and I hope everyone else did as well. I know things can get hectic so I hope everyone was safe! This year I have a lot going on for myself. I'll be 23 in 2 months and my cousin is getting married in 2 months (the weekend after my birthday). My niece will turn 5 this year and my baby sis will be 18. Time sure does fly and I want to cherish the moments I have on this earth. I feel sometimes I take my life for granted because I don't go out and live and experience things I haven't yet. This year I plan to change that. 

So to all, may your year be filled with love, good health, wealth, and nothing but positivity.

March Madness!

Hello readers, as February is strolling by us I cant help but obsess over my BIRTHDAY! My favorite month! There's so much to do for my birthday like plan my gathering and then were heading to New York for another night out to Webster Hall! I have already found my outfits for both nights and I cant wait to party the night away. I'll be 22 and I can't believe it. My whole year of being 21 went by so fast I felt like didn't really enjoy it all that much because of my job last year. Actually planning this whole thing has been way stressful and next year I just want to keep it low key.

Usually I don't post my outfits until after my birthday but I have decided to share it with you because I just love what I got. Although I'm still waiting on my matte leggings from Asos. On my actual birthday March 15th I'll be doing a birthday gathering (NOT a party). So I'll be dressed in this red dress I got on clearance from Forever 21 for $11.99.

On Saturday, March 16th we'll be heading to Webster Hall in NYC to party it up and I immediately died when I saw this shirt. Its also from Forever 21 and the color is bright and different from anything in my wardrobe so I thought it was a good thing to buy because I want to start wearing brighter colors. I'll be wearing this Hi-low dolman top with my matte leggings from Asos that I should be receiving anyday now.

PS I will be ironing this shirt!
