My picks for Winter 2012 Trends

Winter is upon us. It is practically here in the Midwest apart from the freaky days of sixty degrees, that is. Winter here means feet upon feet of snow and chilling temperatures. It's beautiful until the snow is consistent and turns into the awful slushy brown snow. Personally, my favorite "fashion" seasons are fall and winter. It means chunky sweaters, leggings, beanies, scarves and boots....lot's and lot's of boots. BOOT HEAVEN! My...

I think the easiest way to transition this trend into the winter is by using either your own peter pan collar on a sweater or purchasing one attached. I think...

My favorite season is fall--especially those days where it is not too hot but not too cold. The font came out blurry, however I hope you like my OOTD! I...

Wait, you wanna do WHAT?

Hello bloggers and readers, I want to focus this post on my majors in college currently. Because, as many of you well know...majors can be stressful. They ultimately make you decide what you want to do with your life. Which, as a young adult is, once again, stressful & totally terrifying. My freshman year--last year--I declared graphic design and art history. Why? Graphic design has been something that has always been in the back of...

L'Oréal Studio Secrets Desert Sunrise review & tutorial

Hello bloggerino's! A makeup review is in store for you readers today. The product I'm going to discuss is the L'Oréal Studio Secrets quad in the shade Desert Sunrise.
