Shine on.

The Music Video for Waking Up in Vegas by Katy Perry.

In light of my trip to Las Vegas next week, I figured I'd make a themed blog about all things glittery and glamorous.

SEEING RED

Why not start with a bandage red dress?

You don't even want to know the price of this dress. But it's hot and very Vegas.

HEAD OVER HEELS

Jimmy Choo for H&M.

Another pricey item. But sure bang for the buck. Maybe if you win jackpot on some slots?

THERE'S NO SCENTS IN SPARKLE

The title is correct. This bottle of Tarina Tarantino's Sparkilicity Shimmer Dust spits out sparkle for the body and hair rather than scents. It was made for Vegas.

LIPS ARE SEALED

With hot red lips, of course. Those Jessica Alba advertisements have been working. $7. Most drug stores.

SMOKIN' HOT

Love & beauty, Forever 21's new beauty brand, has made a Starlet Smoky Eye Kit for the ultimate sultry eye. It comes with a volumizing black mascara, black eye liner, smoky eye trio palette, and eye liner sharper. All for the price of, wait for it... $6.

Go to your local Forever 21 or XXI Forever to find other great beauty products for cheap!

Their website: http://www.forever21.com/category.asp?catalog_name=FOREVER21&category_name=beauty_and_love&Page=1

Find make-up, nail polish and other items now available.

It's very cool, guys.

In fact, when I finally got to XXI Forever after buying the black and white flannel from Levi's (as mentioned in my previous blog post), I bought their Midnight Smoke eyeshadow set for $4.

And let me tell you... it works like a charm! Now I'm not saying that department store brands or drug store brands do not level up... I know for a fact I sure won't stop my trips to Sephora or stop dazzling over gloriously classic brands in department stores, but you can't beat the variety or the price tag on these beauty buys.

Take for instance the Glamour Glow Face Kit:

It's complete with two shadows, two lip glosses and a golden bronzer. For what price? $6. It doesn't get any better than this! And it's only the size of a credit card.

Just sayin'.

Well that's all!

Hope you enjoyed this!

Walk, walk, fashion, baby.

The Music Video for Extraball (ft. Amanda Blank) by Yuksek.

First of all, I would like to apologize for not blogging last weekend. I had a very busy schedule. But now that it's Spring Break, expect more blogs from me! In addition to making up for last weekend's blunder, I will also post another blog after this, and then we will be back on track! Now for my latest fashion finds...

EXTRA, EXTRA, READ ALL ABOUT IT

(black and white print, if you didn't catch that cleverly veiled joke)

I recently picked up an item from Levi's. According to Levi's website, it's a Camper Shirt in Exploaded Black/White Plaid. Well alright then.

I'm not an avid Levi's shopper and the only pair I have is from Costco's, so the fact that the mall that I usually shop from has a barely noticeable Levi's store. The reason is because the mall just renovated and extended the mall to an outside area, where most shoppers mind's are towards the movie theaters, Wetzel's or XXI Forever. Not to mention the store is next to the sliding door entrance. Anyway, as I was on my way to XXI Forever with my mom one afternoon, we both noticed this classic flannel shirt on a mannequin inside of Levi's and had to go in and try it on. I tried it on. Never have I tried a more perfect flannel. Downside? $50. Upside? Perfect flannel, happy daughter. It's a win-win situation.

ONCE YOU GO BLACK...

Warning: Expensive jeans looking right back at you. J Brand Twill Jeans in Black Wash. $160. Insanity? Maybe. But look at all the other things these jeans are capable of!

a) If it's tight, it's time to hit the gym.

b) If it's tight, it's as black as can be, so you can wear them on "fat days."

c) If it's too expensive, here's something to strive for.

d) God has a pair. Just kidding.

e) Just buy one already.

f) Is for Friends. And jeans that last you forever.

But if you'd rather not or really can't,

I found your substitute:

Forever 21. $18.

Your call.

BLOODY SWELL

I like oxford shoes like the next person. But combine that with my two favorite things, the color black and heels, you've got yourself a winner. I give you - Seychelles London Oxford. Sold by Urban Outfitters.

I'm not a big fan of Urban Outfitters, gasp, but the one thing that stops me from walking past their store every time is their gifts and accessories. I cannot get enough of their quirky collections. These oxford heels would complete the flannel shirt and black skinny jeans. What average sized girl would not like to tower over people or feel adult-like and sophisticated. Okay, well I would. Check mate.

P.S.

The music video looks even more fantastic with a pair of these old 3-D Glasses, I might add.

Well that's all, folks!

I hope you enjoyed this!
