I love Urban Outfitters sales

This post is a mix of a bunch of random pictures I've taken recently.
Urban Outfitters
I took this picture in the evening of the rag curl day, so my hair is huge. I got a package from the Urban Outfitters summer sale that I had to take advantage of. Of course I tried it all on once it arrived. I got the cross necklace for I believe $12.00 and the top for $16.00. I got a few other things too but I think I might return them just because I'm not "in love" with them.
Urban Outfitters
This dress I purchase a really long time ago from Urban Outfitters and I think I only paid $12.00 for it. When I was purchasing it I read all the reviews and they suggested to buy a size up if you have a larger chest, so I did just that. The dress is HUGE on me. I feel like I'm wearing a sack. I've been procrastinating taking it to a seamstress so the other day I just put a belt on with it. It was super baggy still so I just pulled all the fabric around to the back and hung around the apartment in it. Since the dress had little whales all over it (I'm obsessed with whales/sea life if you can't tell :) I had to where my navy striped espadrilles to keep up the nautical theme. Hopefully one of these days I'll actually get it taken in so I can wear it in public. Oh! excuse my messy bedroom. This picture was take a while ago and it's much cuter now!

Urban Outfitters
This little shaw I'm obsessed with. It's been at Urban Outfitters for a while now but they were selling it for freakin $70!?! Come on, that's a bit ridiculous! I'm in love with it but not THAT in love. However, once I heard Urban was having I sale I immediately went to the mall hoping it was still in stock because it sold out instantly online. I was so pleased to see not only did they still have them at the store but they were 60% off! Woohoo.

Summer favorites: nails and lips

Purple Nail Polish

Normally I don't buy nail polish. I just wear what my mom passes down to me. However, I do know one thing and that is I like the brand essie. Dare I say it... I even prefer it over OPI. With essie I find that application easier for me and it takes much longer to chip. I came across this sweet color Lilacism at the store and have been wearing it everyday. This is my favorite nail polish of the summer, hands down (pun intended.)

Orange Lips!

I know, I know.... Also, I'm a visual person so I'll remember the label by how it looks rather than what it actually says. So this picture is for all the art people out there. The label says "Rouge Artist Intense 39" by Make Up For Ever.

I came across this color in a Sephora in Miami while shopping. I've been on the search for a specific lipstick but I could never articulate what I was looking for until I saw "Rouge Artist Intense 39" by Make Up For Ever. This has to be the best find of the summer if not the year. I'm obsessed with this color.

Rag Curls

Last night I got a wild hair around 1:00 am to give rag curls a shot. I found an old T-shirt in my donate bag and cut it into many little strips. I dampened my hair and put some styling moose in it to make sure it held up. I put them in larger sections to make larger curls than the typical rag curl style. Well... when i woke up in the morning this is what came out. My hair was so huge I had to but a head band on it to tame the beast. It was definitely fun to give it a shot and i feel like a flower child today. As far as doing it again in the future... well we'll see.

I'm in Miami

One of my best friends in Orlando is Susie. She's such a blast. Months ago we decided we needed to take a long weekend vacation to Miami. Well last weekend it finally came and we took a mini road trip to the tip of Florida. I have to say...Miama is amazing. The people are so friendly (and I miss Texas hospitality) and it's a beautiful town. We got to do it all, well for south beach that is. We got to eat at tons of great places, relax on the beach/crystal blue water and see the night life.
