Wanderlust

 

  

This spring break has been full of surprises and last minute adventures! As you may know from my earlier post, I was due to head south for a sun filled week at Myrtle Beach, SC. However, as it usually does, life had a different plan! I then exchanged my ticket for a quiet week at home on snowy Cape Cod.
But then-  My best friend Margaret gave me a call asking if I wanted to take a last minute trip to Arizona. I was very unsure, for I have never been the adventurous type and always scheduled things weeks in advance. But something inside me said, I should go! Who could deny some pool side time with your best friend? We booked our tickets the night before leaving, and were Phoenix bound in the morning!
This past week was a great escape from the dull school routine and bitter cold weather. This vacation taught me that spontaneity is what makes life wonderful and adventure is what makes memories that last a life time.
Always, Miss. C

 When the weather is so hot, it is hard to have a fabulous outfit without suffering from heat stroke. But Margaret worked it perfectly with her flowy floral skirt, sheer plum blouse, Ralph Lauren loafers, and Coach Joelle sunglasses

goodbye dc hello nyc : the world of realization

spring break is amoung us, well the lucky ones i suppose. the team of blonde and brunette is scattered all around, but this week you all are in for a treat. two posts in one day! yes, this week is giving miss lindsey nothing but time, and the fabulous nyc, which she is currently residing in, for the week! new york city is a place for a new begining, a place that never sleeps, a place to use as a get away and most importantly a place where i call home. this week will bring not only bring you two posts per week, but it will bring me so much more. this weekend it has brought me to maturity; it seems so weird to say that, but i feel as if this week it has hit me that i have grown up. im no longer the girl who goes back to my house to play barbies, im the girl who goes back to my dorm to post about fashion, or upload a video to youtube. sure, that is far from your typical everyday 18 year old, but hey its me and it is just who i am. the realization of growing up has hit many of us this past week; it has hit me like a bag of prada shoes. i love being an adult, being able to do things on my own and the feeling of being 'free', but i am not going to lie, i do miss my barbie moments and my parents always around for me. truthfullym, although i may look differnt on the outside, my heart still holds the moments of a childs. this was not meant to be a sad and sappy post, but a post of ralization. i wish you all the best of luck on your journey to growing up.

That Old Hollywood Glamour

I often find myself thinking that I might of been born in the wrong era. My obsession with high waist lines, saddle shoes, and Frank Sinatra hasn't always seemed to match up with today's society. But I have learned to embrace it! There is so much we can learn from the timeless actresses of Hollywood. Such as Audrey Hepburn's reinvention of the Little Black Dress in Breakfast at Tiffany's to Marilyn Monroe's infamous red lips and blonde curls. 

Inspired by the style icons of Old Hollywood, I put my own twist on the classic cat-eye and red lip!

Always, Miss C.

Let's begin with fresh face and all our necessary makeup!

 Here we have:

- Sephora brown eyeshadow pallets

- CoverGirl Clump Crusher

- Stila and NYC red lipsticks

- (2)Eyeshadow brush

- NYC liquid eyeliner

Next, cover your eyelids (lightly) in a white and cream colored eyeshadow. Cover from the eyelash line to the brow line.

 Then, take your brush and the darkest brown shadow and place it in the crease of your eyelid. It should give some depth to your eye and a slight smokey effect. 

 With your second brush, place some of the white shadow in the corners of your eyes and on the bottom lash line. This will make your eyes look wider and bright!

Now comes my favorite part....EYELINER AND MASCARA! 

With the liquid eyeliner, paint along your top lash line and slowly build the thickness and wing.

Then, brush on a few coats of mascara and we are done with the eyes!

Red lips can be tricky and messy, so I recommend outlining your lips with the sides of the lipstick or lip liner. This will help you stay within your lip line and avoid smudging. 

Finally we are done! Rock this retro look on nights out in the city, going to class, or whenever you want to feel some Old Hollywood glamour.
