LA ♥S ME

| URBAN OUTFITTERS SHIRT | H&M SHORTS, SUNGLASSES | FOREVER 21 NECKLACES | TARGET PURSE | REFLECTION SHOES | YVES SAINT LAURENT SHEER CANDY LIP BALM | COOL WATER PERFUME |

This was one of my outfits I had during the later month of July when the heat was starting to get to me. It was very beach inspired, as you can see from the shirt's saying "L.A. loves me." I need to go there soon! Anyways, that necklace is my favorite this season! I have been looking to get a geometric statement necklace in black or silver (like this one from House of Harlow), but the ones I liked were super expensive. I was so happy to find them at my local Forever 21 store! They never fail me :) As for shoes, I can't wait 'till school year starts so I can wear those babies out! It's so rad with all the spikes (I've been getting into cone spikes lately) and studs on the side. I got those from my local Reflection shoe stores, but I know there are a lot of other versions online such as here and here. I broke them in already, so they are super comfy!

Until next post...

Macarons and Ombre Nails

Aren't these macarons so lovely? It's a bit expensive, but I like how they taste and look! So dainty.

Inspired by the pastel colors of macarons, I did ombre nail. 

Here's step by step on how I achieved that look:

1. Apply base coat.

2. Apply white polish. Try not to have it too thick or too thin.

3. Prepare a clean makeup sponge, and cut the sponge according to your nail size. Apply the desired nail polish onto the sponge.

4. Dab the sponge to the nail. If the color is not saturated enough, apply more and more until desired.

5. Apply fast drying topcoat. I recommend the Sally Hansen Insta-Dry.

6 . Get a Q-Tip soaked in polish remover to remove polish that has gotten on the skin. Another method I use is in the hot shower, genty peel or scrape off the excess dried polish from your skin.

7. Ombre nail: complete!

I used Revlon 'Minted' and Essie's "French Affair" as my gradiation colors.

Until next post...
