100 outfits, 100 days

So I was searching through youtube recently and came across a channel completely dedicated to OOTD videos and the one-hundred day challenge!
Here's the deal-----> It's always a challenge for me to "shop my own closet" and refrain from buying new clothing items before wearing things that have been in my closet for ages. This challenge will require me to become creative and turn my closet into 100 fresh, trendy and seemingly new ensembles. Can I do it?? I'm not exactly sure, see I'm the type to sleep in that extra twenty minutes, put on makeup and head out the door with sweats on. I think this challenge will help me realize what I have, and how to style and create looks under circumstances- AND more importantly I can document my progress which will almost guarantee weekly updates of outfits!!


For me I'm going to include accessories in this as well. There are some things I find I never reach for or wear that I adore, but am too affraid to wear out of fear it will be damaged. Well this is the time, I'm, taking the bull by horns and becoming proactive. Afterall, A fashionista is only as good as the clothes in her closet.
Until next time,
Brittany

Someone call the Doctor..

You've seen them everywhere, but how do we wear them?
I adore the whole grunge-feminine look and more importanty love the revival of Doc Martens. I have a patent leather pair in black but have no clue how to wear them.. I mean I've worn them once, but felt like a weirdo. What do you think?

After Hours

Here are some other things I picked up in random places.
Revlon pastel nail varnishes! Ahh, saw them on YouTube, can't remember whose channel , but loved the colors. I picked up a pastel purple and a mint green:) IN LOVE
- here is a vintage bracelet my Aunt recently got me, it's got really cute, nostalgic charms -

Happy Mother's Day

So here is a snipet of what I did this Mother's Day/
My Mom and I went out to the mall and lunch early this afternoon, so nice to show as soon as the doors open to avoid the crowds! I scored big time at Charlotte Russe, and got some essentials at H&M:)

The gold and pearl earrings were $5 originally, but I scored them for $.99. What a deal! Very into oversized things lately. Shirts, jackets, bags and accessories!

E.L.F nailpolish Review

With Summer in full spring (lol) it's time to put away the dark, lifeless nail varnish colors and reach for springy, fresh tones right? Now I'm in love with O.P.I, but sometimes I don't feel that $8-9 is reasonable for a nail polish, but that's just me. As you all know elf offers cheaper, lower cost cosmetics and bath and body items with great quality. I bought a nail colors from their regular elf line and I have to say I'm impressed. I bought Mod Mauve which is comparable, but a less saturated version of MetroChic by OPI!
Recently I just got BubbleGum Pink and Chocolate:




Verdict-
For only $1 each these nail colors are great! I had to use 3-4 coats to get a substantial color payoff. They don't chip any faster than anything else I've tried so anyone out there looking for a cheaper alternative, ther ya go:) Oh, and I'm so excited they now have sorbet, ice cream like colors which remind me of the BarryM or Eyeko nail varnishes, but ofcourse I don't think those are even sold in the US! Check 'em out http://www.eyeslipsface.com/




Look out for a mall haul soon! Im just dying to check out H&M for some reason:)
