The Closet!

So a really close family friend of ours started her own business here in Jordan. She goes to University in the states and basically what she does is she goes shopping at buys a bunch of clothes and ships them to Jordan where her aunt sells them at unbelievable prices! The sizes are amazing since I have a tough time finding clothes that fit me just right. So earlier today I went and bought 3 shirts from her November Collection and fell in love with the pieces and decided to share!

So if you do live in Jordan and are interested check out her Facebook Fan Page :)

Haul of Hauls: Shopping with mommy 10/20/2011

So I'm a really big girly girl so I absolutely love shopping and today my mom and I went out and picked up a few things that I was really excited to share :)

I went on this shopping trip to buy 1 bottle of perfume ONLY which was the Vanilla Body Spray by Natural Looks, instead I ended up with: 2 bottles of perfume, 3 eye shadows, and a lip liner... That's not that much but it's pretty bad that I can't control myself. I was also gonna get a pair of ankle booties but didn't cause I was wearing ballerinas without socks and I HATE trying on shoes without socks.

1. Natural Looks VANILLA Body Spray

2. Natural Looks PLUMERIA Body Spray

3. NYX Lip liner pencil in CABARET

4. NYX eye shadow in NUDE

5. NYX eye shadow in SPRING FLOWER

6. NYX eye shadow in FROSTED LILIAC

How to: Create Your Own INEXPENSIVE Nicki Minaj Costume

I decided I want to be Nicki Minaj this year for Halloween. My school is going to be hosting a Halloween party on Thursday November 3rd, 2011 (a little late but it's better late than never, like last year, it got cancelled). Anyway I thought it would be fun and helpful to share what I will be doing in order to re-create her look.

OUTFIT:  By the looks of it on Google Nicki Minaj matches her pants and shirt, so I have a pair of purple pants that i got from Next  forever ago that I'm going to wear with a purple shirt.

SHOES: Nicki Minaj is really big on heals but since I want to enjoy the party without getting sore feet, I decided to just go with my black boots, sine Nicki Minaj really likes boots, plus, it'll be really cold and boots will keep me warm.

HAIR: I'm going to try and find a pink wig, because if I get a blonde one people will mistaken me for Lady Gaga and Nicki Minaj LOVES pink.

MAKE UP: The make up will probably be my favorite part of the whole look because I'm going to be using foundation and a setting powder that is way darker than my skin tone so I can re-create Nicki Minaj's dark flawless look. I'm going to apply a hot pink lip stick and put a crazy eye shadow color on my lid like lime green.

Stories with Chrissy: Rules of Attraction by Simone Elkeles

WARNING: IF YOU DID NOT READ PERFECT CHEMISTRY THERE WILL BE SPOILERS FOR PERFECT CHEMISTRY BUT NOT FOR RULES OF ATTRACTION :)

Wow, I've had this book for 3 days and I'm already done with it! In all honesty it was a great book. Rules of Attraction is the sequel to Perfect Chemistry.  Brittany and Alex are in University and Carlos (Alex's younger brother, whom you don't read much about in the first book) is sent to live with Alex because he got himself in some trouble.

Alex is now the perfect brother, working part time and going to University, he has his whole life figured out. Carlos wants anything but to be in Colorado. He can't stand his brother, Brittany or anyone who tries to give him rules. But Alex, who wants the best for his brother makes sure that he gets the right kind of help once he starts his senior year with him.So he asks his professor's daughter to show Carlos around and she's, not exactly attractive.

Kiara is the professor's daughter, she wears her hair up in a pony tail that looks like a "dog's tail", wears super baggy clothes and is best friends with a gay guy. She gets straight As and NEVER gets in trouble. However, Kiara has a stuttering problem that she gets when she's nervous.

Carlos on the other hand is a bad cookie, he has tattoos all over himself, and wears shirts with ripped jeans. His comebacks are like reflexes and has no rules & no line that he doesn't cross.

Surely enough the two fall in love and Carlos is faced with the same situation Alex had to go through in Perfect Chemistry.

Stories with Chrissy: Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles

I don't even know where I should even begin to rave about this book. I read Perfect Chemistry back in March and it is by far my favorite book of the year. I'm going to try my hardest not to spoil the book but give you a sum up of the whole story.

Perfect Chemistry is about a girl named Brittany who is a blond with blue eyes and has a "perfect" life. She wears the "perfect" clothes, has the "perfect" boyfriend, the "perfect" friends. In conclusion her whole life is perfect.

Alex is a Mexican who has it pretty bad. His dad died when he was 6 years old and he is responsible for his mom and two younger brothers. He belongs to gang called the Latino Bloods and fixes cars after school.

Alex and Brittany aren't allowed to mix with each other because of their social statuses but when forced to do be Chemistry partners for the rest of the years everything changes.

Alex makes a bet with his friends that he can get into Brittany's pants. But he realizes that through out the process of doing out he discovers that he loves Brittany and she means more to him than just a stupid bet. Secrets are uncovered about the two and their love is put to the test.

This book is absolutely PERFECT for anyone who is looking for a light read book filled with romance. Alex is pretty hot if you google him, too. However, there are parts of the book that get pretty boring (gang scenes and whatnot) but over all the book is amazing and I would LOVE to read it again.

Ankle Booties & Lace Tights

This year I really want ankle booties. I've been eyeing them since last year. I think I'm going to get them when I go winter shopping.

Ankle boots would look super pretty (in my opinion) with lace tights or leggings with a dress or a skirt and a coat. I feel like that would be a really pretty outfit.

Plus lace tights just scream Vampire Diaries fashion. I feel like it's shopping Catherine would wear. Either her or Aria from Pretty Little Liars. So I'm really excited to go out and get my ankle booties and lace tights this year. I feel like that's going to be my signature look for Winter 2011 :)

'cause winter is my favorite time of the year

There are many obvious reasons as to why I absolutely LOVE the November and December months. As many of you probably know my Birthday is on December 3rd and my Birthday is always such an exciting time for me. Sometimes I feel like I get more excited over my Birthday than a young child would. This year I'm going to be turning 17 which means that I could legally be allowed to take driving classes where I live. Which isn't as exciting as actual being able to drive but that's good enough for me! Since my Birthday is on a Saturday, Thursday I'll probably invite a bunch of my really good friends to Chilies and spend the day with them. Then on Saturday on my actual Birthday I'll spend it with my mom and brothers, we'll go out to eat at a restaurant of my choice, have cake then do the Christmas tree. Which is perfect. :)

On my Birthday we put up the Christmas tree at night while we play Christmas carols and just have a good time. Christmas is another reason I LOVE the winter. To me, Christmas is just so magical and really brings out the best in people. Everything about Christmas excites me: the colors, the desserts, the decorations, the movies and the feeling of family and togetherness. My favorite Christmas past time is watching "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" which I actually got as a birthday present from my best friend Suzy on my 6th Birthday. Sorry, but that movie is only the best during Christmas, I feel like it doesn't feel the same if I watch it on a regular day. Also, I like Christmas Eve more than Christmas for some reason. I feel like the excitement is still thick in the air on Christmas Eve but on Christmas it's just...boring. On Christmas and Christmas Eve my family and I have a family dinner and then spend it visiting relatives.

So Winter is by far my favorite time of year and I love everything about it. From the weather, to the fashion, to the spirit to even the food! Right now where I live it's starting to get really chilly to the point where I have to wear a sweat shirt with thick pants and socks around the house so I was inspired to do this blog. :)
