Plaid and Neon from Persunmall

Hey everyone! As I mentioned at the beginning of the month, Persunmall offered to send me some of their products to try out... Well, here they are! I ended up choosing the plaid shirt and the neon rope necklace, and I have to say, I'm really pleased with both items.

This plaid shirt is the perfect pattern, in my opinion. For some reason, whenever I look for a plaid shirt at Forever 21 or something, they always have the oddest color combinations. I'm loving the classic lumberjack red, and I think the two huge pockets give it a nice, laidback feel. My only complaint is that the sleeves are a bit tight for a size large, which sucks because I wanted to wear t-shirts underneath it but I don't want to be uncomfortable. Also, the company label behind the neck is the itchiest thing in the world. (PS... Can you tell I'm not really a fashion blogger? "The label is itchy" hahaha)

The neon rope necklace is awesome. It's exactly what I expected from the picture on the website. I'm always so attracted to neon - whether it be jewelry or nail polish. I paired the necklace with the plaid shirt the first time I wore it and I think they look so cool together. I totally foresee myself wearing it a variety of different outfits. And for $3.99, you can't really go wrong!

Overall I'm super happy with my Persunmall goodies. If you'd like to check the site out for yourself, feel free to use my referral link: http://www.persunmall.com/&refer_id=42529 :)

I Love Pinterest

I didn't always "get" Pinterest. I thought the whole concept was kinda lame, but to be honest I never truly gave it a chance. Recently, however, I discovered the amazingness that is this website. Here is a collection of my favorite pins. You can follow my boards if you want.

Fashion Wishlist from Persunmall

Hey everyone! The other day I was approached by the wonderful Alice from Persunmall.com who offered to have me try out some of their items and review them for you. Step 1 is to post a wishlist featuring my favorite things!

Persun is an online retailer that sells clothing and accessories for very affordable prices. I was particularly impressed by their tops and jewelry selection, so that's what I've focused on in this list.

The first item is this pink flower knit sweater. It's basically a Wildfox knock-off, and since I'm not about to spend $100 on a distressed sweater, this is perfect! I'm sure the quality isn't as good, but I plan on wearing it very casually and I like the loose fit.

A classic plaid shirt has been soo hard to come by for me. All I want is a plain red one, and I can't seem to find one in-store! Luckily, Persunmall has this in stock. It's not flannel, but it has a great pattern and I love the huge pockets.

Next is a gray knit sweater. Right along the spine theres a pulled panel, making it seem like the knitting fell apart. I think it's so cool and perfect to wear over leggings on a cold day. Chuck on some tall black boots and you're good to go.

The last clothing item on my wishlist is a plain white t-shirt. I don't have a loose, oversize t-shirt so this would be a really good staple to have.

Finally, this gold and neon green necklace. I'd see myself wearing this constantly if I were to own it. I totally see myself rocking this under the collar of a chambray shirt. It's really fun for summer, but I'd also wear it throughout the winter because god knows I need some neon to spice up my drab monochrome outfits!

Quick "Across-The-Border" Haul

Hey everyone! On Sunday my mom, brother, and I decided to head across the border into New York (state, not city) for a quick shopping trip. I didn't get too much stuff but I figured it's enough for a quick little haul. Enjoy!

TJ Maxx is the main store where we usually go so I stocked up on some summer clothes. Each of these were $12.99 which I think is fairly reasonable. The one on the left is just a one-size-actually-fits-all (*ahem Brandy Melville*) Roxy t-shirt. I thought it would be good to wear on days where I can't bother and just want to throw something on quickly. I thought the Paris tank would be nice to wear casually or even to dress up for nights out with a blazer or something. The last tank is definitely my favorite one - it's so fun and colorful and I can't wait to wear it!

Bath & Body Works was having a $10 sale on certain candles so you now I couldn't walk out of there without picking one up. Tiki Beach is one that I've been tempted to get for a while so I'm glad it was on sale! It smells so tropical and coconuty - love it!

I kinda restrained myself in Wal Mart during this trip and only picked up a few items. I got two Rimmel lip liners - one nude pink and one red. I honestly never really used lip liner before and the only one in our makeup drawer was a crusty brown one from like 30 years ago (thanks mom), so I thought it was time to rectify that. I would wear the pink one under neutral, pink, or mauve lips. I tried it under MAC Syrup and works really nice, and I tried the red one under one of the Kate Moss Rimmel lipsticks and it works perfectly!

Of course, I had to pick up this Revlon Nail Art Moon Candy in "Orbit" because I've been eyeing it like crazy. It was in my nailpolishcanada wishlist that I posted a little while ago. I'm actually ashamed to say that I've since purchased 6/8 things from that list.... Self control is clearly something I do not have.

Anyway, thanks for reading! Hope you enjoyed this little haul :)

Yesterday's FOTD

Hey everyone! I wanted to do a quick post about yesterday's FOTD as a follow-up to my post about flat iron curls (HERE).

As you can see, the curls pretty much melted away with the heat, humidity and rain, and yet, I was left with some pretty decent waves. I think that's alright considering this is my day-after hair and it's still wearable (I'd say). However, the curls loosened almost instantantly after I styled them. If anyone has tips on how to get curly hair to stay in place longer, please do share!

I'm not wearing any makeup in this FOTD because it was just a day of running errands and then a movie night with a few friends. We watched "Friends With Kids"... I don't plan on fully reviewing this one because it's not really worth my time, to be honest. I thought it was going to be really good because the entire "Bridesmaids" cast in it, but nah. I didn't enjoy it.

In other news: Miley Cyrus is now a less attractive Megan Rapinoe.

I'd be willing to bet she'll have extensions in about a week's time.
