ASOS Shirt Dress, XXI booties 

I found this ASOS shirt dress at Beacon's Closet in New York (an amazing designer-esque, discount thrift store). I bought it for a couple different reasons, uno being that I loved the color and deux being I've never owned anything from ASOS. But I must say, without high heeled shoes this outfit looks very incomplete. The size is in a small but it kinda fits strange. I was impulsive when I bought it that's for sure. As I was saying, with some booties this dress/thing looks great. It was somewhere between 18 and 21 dollars and I just didn't want to pass it up.

I'm actually tossing these shoes out at the end of summer because they are SO scuffed. Really, I could write a tragedy on how much these shoes were my night and day. I basically out wore them in 2 years, and i'm not much of a shoe lady, but I think 2 years for a pair of XXI shoes is pretty damn good. XXI booties are always comfy and the perfect height. I've owned a couple pairs before this one and they have all lasted a great amount of time. These boots were all that I wore, I need to expand my horizons this year. Maybe even invest!

Any brands you recommend for good boots like these that are going to last a while?

"Oh my legit god"

I say a lot of random things. This was my outfit yesterday. All black everything.

Spontaneous hang sesh with ANG a.k.a. www.behance.net/angelaest, was much needed yesterday. She literally lightened up my mood and she always knows the right things to do and say to make me laugh.

Here's a little outfit I put together, just a little fancy something something. An outfit for a night out, dinner, or even for work :)

Forever 21 Blazer, Top and Heels

H&M Clutch

Talula Leggings

My makeup was inspired by Carrie Bradshaw from the Carrie Diaries, I swapped out using liquid eyeliner for a dark brown pencil eyeliner by Sephora, and placed the color under my lower lash line then smudged it (on both the top and bottom). I love the way it looks!

I usually never wear high-buns out of my house because I feel as if they look rather silly on me (mostly because I have very thin hair). But I couldn't be bothered to wash or style it this morning...lazy me! My sister seemed to agree with me that it was decent enough to wear outside of my home, and I think it looks rather cool that my ombre shows though the top of the knot.

Any questions? Have a lovely day! xx
