Stay Tuned!

Hello guys! DAMN. I apparently I just suck at keeping my blog up-to-date. I PROMISE I will start posting more blogs. Like always everything has been a whirl wind these last few months. Things are now finally starting to settle down. SOOO...

I've been contemplating on a couple of DIY posts which are already in the works. ALSO another lens review. PLUS Fall Fashion Trends for 2010! After all Fashion Week just ended so I'm pretty sure that post is a MUST. HA. :)

Anyone have any favorites from Fashion Week? Hmmm?
Did you guys hear that MAXI SKIRTS are "the new rage"? WTF... seriously? HA.

Look Here:

Okay I'm down with new trends and everything... but I honestly cannot picture myself wearing this... I'm 5'2" curvy chick. I'll basically look a frumpy sci-fi character even with high heels. But I'm sure there are plenty of you that can pull this off fabulously! Maybe I'll give it a try...

What are you guys going to be wearing this fall?

Affordable Bachelorette Party: Drinks, Decor, Games!

This summer I was chosen to be maid of honor for my friends wedding. I was super thrilled but the my first thought was "What am I going to do for the bachelorette party?" I don't make that much but I still wanted to throw a fun party with cute decor and yummy drinks.

1. Figure Out A Theme: I did a 1940's pin up theme. The bride loves pin up girls so I figured this would be perfect! I envisioned martini glasses, roses, white lights, candles, and hors d'oeuvres. A theme will make everything more fun.

2. How Am I Going To Afford This?: Figure out your budget. BORROW BORROW BORROW! I borrowed white lights from my boyfriends mom, and vases from my mom. Plus you want the bridal party to help pitch in for alcohol! You know as well as I do that everything does add up!

3. Where To Shop: They seriously have the best decor. I went there and picked up 14 martini glasses, 4 bags of fake rose petals, fake roses a pack of glass beads, and 25 plastic shot glasses for around $25! Also I went to Hobby Lobby and bought leopard print ribbon (for bows around the base of the martini glasses)for $4 on sale.

4. Breaking The Ice: At a bachelorette party there will be some girls that don't know each other. After introducing everyone play drinking games! We had a game called "Never Have I Ever" which came in a deck of cards. Each person reads something outrageous on the card and if any of the girls have done it they take a drink. It was tons of fun! You can find more games like this at Spencer's or any gag shop.

5. DRINKS ANYONE!?: One of my main concerns was "How am I going to afford drinks for everyone?" Then it hit me… JUNGLE JUICE AND JELLO SHOTS! Easy to make and affordable, that's right up my alley!

*Any of these recipes can be altered for your liking! This is just how I personally like it.

You will need a large cooler. Make sure the liquids are chilled.

Ingredients:

1. Mix all liquids in cooler
2. Cut up as much fruit as desired I did a full carton of strawberries, 3 oranges, and 2 cans of pineapple (I also added the juice from the can)
3. Let it sit for 4 hours, then serve! Add ice if you want it super cold.

You will need small plastic shot glasses or small paper cups($1 at Dollar Store). Some people like paper cups because its easier to get the shot out.
or

Ingredients:

1. Follow directions on the jello box EXCEPT only add 3/4 cup (6oz) water.
2. Let it cool for about 10 minutes, once cooled add 1 1/4 cup (10oz) of Strawberry Vodka
3. Then cut up strawberries into small wedges. You can ether insert small slices into the jello shot glasses or keep them as a delicious chilled chaser!
4. Pour even amounts into all the shot glasses and set in the fridge for about 5-6 hours. However I make mine 8 hours ahead or even the night before (just in case!)

About 15+ girls showed up so I'm glad I made enough drinks for everyone! Have fun!
I hope you enjoyed this post! Please ask if you have any questions!

Simple and Chic: Summer into Fall

So I haven't been able to post a blog in a few weeks since I've been so busy with school and such! I have recently been decorating my new house so I will have pictures posted in a few weeks.

ALSO its been wedding fever so I've been busy with that AND I was throwing a bachelorette party! I will post some fun ideas for a successful bachelorette party soon!

Anyways, I wanted to do a quick post about an outfit that is perfect for late summer/early fall. I was actually inspired by MEGAN FOX. I was looking for a comfy and breathable outfit for late night BBQs and early fall festivals.

Megan Fox



Me (obviously haha)


Shirt: $9.50, Pants: $13.99, Shoes: $11.99 all from

The shirt was regular price but everything else was on sale! It best to buy things near the end of each season (ie. end of summer for summer clothes and end of winter for winter clothes) Typically basic staples do not go out of style for about 2 or 3 years. I great example is gladiator sandals and wedges that have been hot for about 4 or 5 years now!

Anyways, that's my secret to shopping on a budget. Always try to get something you can mix with seasons. Like a my white wash jeans can be worn with a flowy top in the summer and a cardigan in the fall.

Hope you liked my look! I will try to update more often now that I have time!

Max Pure Brown Circle Lens Review

With Flash:


Without Flash:



Sunlight:



Indoors:


Scale: Bad Good

Enlargement:
These made my eyes look huge and cute! Very adorable!

Color:
Very natural! They look good under any lighting. They even look good in pictures with a flash.

Design:
Smooth and not pixelated. These do not give you the weird creepy reptile look like some lenses do!

Comfort:
If you've never worn contacts before, these might take a few days to get used to! However, you get used to them and don't even notice their there! I only wear mine 4-8 hours a day, any longer and my eyes get really dry.


Max Pure Brown Circle Lens:


So I finally ordered me a pair of circle lenses! I've wanted them for a really long time and procrastinated because they were like $30! But I then I figured I would wear them a few times a week and they last for a year... so I think they would be worth my $30! Haha!

I definitely did my research when it came to circle lenses.

I wanted:
1. Natural
- So after watching many reviews on YouTube and Blogspot.com I decided to go with the Max Pure Brown Circle Lens. Many reviews said they were the most natural lens you could get while still looking dolly and boy where they RIGHT! These are super natural. Even up close they look really natural. So this is great if you have a job which requires being up to close to people.

2. Big (not too big)
- I was worried that if i got the 14.5mm they would be way to big and I would look like an alien! Fortunately, these are BIG but not HUGE. They look like you just have huge dolly eyes. This is great if you're looking for an innocent "doe-eyed" look.

3. Affordable
- They were only about $25 before shipping and handling (about $30 afterward). This is the amount I was looking to spend. I didn't want to get something that would take a huge chunk out of my pocket.

4. Reliable Seller
- Many reviews suggested PinkyParadise.com as a place to go to get lenses. So when ordering I went with them. They are very reliable and quick to respond with any questions or concerns you have about your order. Also, they have a MASSIVE selection of lenses. You can find anything from 14.00 to 14.8mm+ in many colors. Shipping to the U.S. took about 19 days. They do let you know on the site that it does take about 3 weeks to ship.

Also watch the video for the full review!


I hope this information helped and answered any questions you had about these lenses!
