ASOS Jeans!

ASOS JEANS

So I received my Asos order yesterday and I'm OBSESSED! These are the Petite Marney Straight Legged Jeans. My only complaint was I received a size smaller than I originally ordered. I love them, but would probably be more comfortable in the size I ordered. I guess I gotta lose 3 pounds now haha. 

Overall I'm super excited!! I am totally digging this Jeans and T-Shirt casual look! 

Shopping!

Happy 2014 Loves!! 

Every January I go on a shopping spree...(well not just January) I buy things that are sometimes out of my comfort zone. Patterns I've never thought of wearing, Jeans that might not be in the now, dresses that seem a bit out there! I enjoy experimenting and finding my own personal style. So far this week I've worn: 

I've had these items in my closet FOREVER! Like 6 months haha... still a really long time. I got this white cotton blouse from Marshals, the mid rise black pants from Belk, and the shoes from a nearby fashion store; I believe they're Wild Diva.

These are the same Celebrity Pink Jeans... I bought 3 pairs when I ordered :|, I got the white lace shirt from a boutique in Big Bear and this AWESOME camo jacket is again, from marshals!

Totally OBSESSED with this insane sweater dress. Its like Trible, leopard, and Aztec all in one cute, colorful, form fitting dress. I snagged this at Marshals too! 

Okay so yes, I love Marshals! Most of my closet is from there! You just can't beat their prices AND they have the cutest stuff! 

I have also become a major fan of Asos. I just bought a pair of jeans and T- Shirt and am expecting it to be here tomorrow. I am so excited!! This is what I bought: 

I love the Idea of High waist denim and a loose "boyfriend" tee tucked in. Maybe roll the cuffs a little bit with some strappy sandals and accessories galore?! Yes!! Cant wait to wear it on Friday!

Winter Fashion that is HOT!

As you probably already know, I love winter fashion but am feeling conflicted lately. I'll dress up all warm and "cute" and then look in the mirror and feel like Im walking out of an igloo and ready to hit a bad storm. Not a good look! LOL 

Here are some ideas I saw on Pinterest that really caught my attention!

IM IN LOVE! This look is so feminine and pretty. You have a mixture of cottons, linens and leather! Loving this dress, leather jacket look. What more could a girl ask for?!

Another Favorite! I'm loving the LONG, wide legged medium washed denim. With the sheer white blouse and pop of color in the scarf... UFF... just classy and and put together!

Last but not least al BLACK and GOLD! My two favorite colors! Wide leg, long black trousers, loose 3/4 black top and a thick gold belt around the waist; one word... SEXY! 

Which look is your favorite?!?!

Morning and Evening skin care routine!

I cannot stress enough how important a good skin care routine is!! Everyday, twice a day!! I will admit, I have always had a hard time sticking to a regimen but once I forced myself to, the results were amazing! 

In the past I would wash my face only once a day, at night, with a bar of soap, in the shower. If that was too much work for me, I would go straight to the makeup remover wipes and call it a day. In the morning? Forget it, I was too tired to wash my face and would wake up and just start pounding on the makeup.  

We obviously know why it is important to wash your face in the evening for men and women, but is it necessary to re-wash your already clean face in the morning? YES, YES IT IS! Our entire body goes through a rejuvenation while we sleep and oils and toxins leave our body, especially in the face. This is why your face may seem oily in the morning, or you can smell the wine you drank the night before. Washing your face in the morning removes all the oils that your body extracted during sleep and really gives you a clean slate! 

So what's my routine? Well here you go: 

In the morning I wash my face with Avon's ANEW REJUVENATE Revitalizing 2-in-1 Gel Cleanser. It creates super a perfect lather and leaves me and my skin feel super refreshed! I then use Sea Breeze Fresh-Clean Astringent. I love this toner because it doesn't make my skin sting but instead tingle and feel fresh. Now for my moisturizers I am obsessed with Lumene Bright Now Vitamin C Dry Skin Cocktail. I then apply my Avon 

ANEW REJUVENATE Day Revitalizing Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 25. That's it! I'm ready to apply my makeup and start the day!!

In the evening, my routine doesn't change too much. I still use my Avon cleanser but after that I was my face a second time with Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub. I then use the same astringent and Lumene cocktail. I finsh off my skin moisturizer with Garnier Ultra-Lift Intensive Deep wrinkle night cream. 

So that is my morning and evening skin care routine and I am so happy with it and the results. My face looks fresh, clean, smooth, plump, and younger!

What is your skin care routine? Have you tried any of the products I currently use?
