Purple Maroon Stones

Like the tints of purple in an amazing article of clothing we are drawn to certain things that create this feeling of lust. Whether it be in a material item or a person, there is lust behind everything. Like fashion, we create these emotions. Emotions that tide our attitude which in turn tide our outfits.

I’m a freshman at VCU and have met my fair share of not so amazing guys on campus just looking for one thing and we all know what that is gals. It’s sad that I’m actually shocked when I meet a nice guy on campus that doesn’t have hidden ulterior motives. However, its safe to say that we are only here for four years and we need to get all these feelings out somehow. A friend of mine told me, “you will never be around this many beautiful people with so much potential and limitless opportunities, so just embrace it.” Sadly, some of us get attached. Wrote a poem for you gals. Enjoy!

Purple, maroon, pink soft, but violent. Yearning to tell a story. Creeping up the long side of his neck. Like stones to a path all simultaneously assorted to hint at something more.

Always getting too invested in the wrong people.

Always letting the small stones trip me into a web of feelings all polar opposite in an immense piece of art.

Concentrating on his familiar lips but glued to his unfamiliar marks.

We see the things that we know will hurt us the most because it is our heart helping us disassociate the wrong people from our lives.

Don’t turn my heart to stone, don’t leave me alone

The waves come crashing down on me

Under the moon is where we will be

Boys Boys Boys

Just recently (since I discovered my new style) I have been obsessed with men’s attire and a more rugged look. Then I thought, if I like it so much, why not wear it?? Don’t be afraid to shop in the men’s section! Forever 21 is the perfect place to snatch rogue men’s jackets. This one I found for only $49.70. Get it while it’s hot ladies!
Stay rogue gals

Vaca Must Haves

Palm beach Florida; The Breakers, home of Estée Lauder, Bill Gates, and many more. You can guess that everyone dresses with high class so I decided I needed to step up my game on my pool attire. I chose a cheetah print swim suit with a chic floppy black hat. Then a cute textured beach cover – up with cool detailing. The detailing gives it an expensive look but little do people know, I got it from target! To finish off this cute summer look, I added cute (rip off) Tom Ford sunnies. I usually never buy rip off items except on the occasional accessory.
Stay chic gals

Feeling Pretty

When creating that flawless, natural look for my face; I always make sure to buy a foundation that works with my skin type; not brand. Lately, I have been using the drugstore brand l’Oreal “Lumi Liquid Foundation”. This has great coverage and does help in reducing those facial blemishes we try so hard to hide. This is a nice cheaper alternative to the more prestige one MAC offers. Next, to hide those blemishes that don’t go away I use Benefit’s “Bo-ing” concealer. It’s heavy duty and a little goes a long way. For my eyes, I always use 2-3 different mascaras at the same time to achieve that big eye look. Mine are constantly switching, so I suggest using the ones you like and trust. When I’m feeling more glam or simply have more time I use my Urban Decay’s “Naked 2” palette. For cheeks the cult classic “Orgasm” by Nars never seems to fail. For scent I’ve been using Lady Gaga’s “Fame”. It’s a much more mature feel, and I really like that. For cleaning my face, I usually stay true to Lush products, but lately I have been using Neutrogena, and it hasn’t been disappointing! What are your beauty secrets? Stay glamorous!

XOXO,

Shayla

Call Me Crazy

Screen shot 2013-01-12 at 4.01.46 PMCall me crazy for liking bold colors in the winter! This outfit is a cute little Kate Spade inspired outfit. I started out with this striking cardigan and then starting building! If ya’ll are ever having trouble styling an outfit, pick one piece that you like and build from there, it’s the easiest way to organize your thoughts into one beautiful outfit. Stay stunning gals!

Confidence Is Key

Confidence Is Key

You can put on a stunning outfit but the only way it will look good is if you can strut it and have confidence. I suggest wearing the color black. “Black is modest and arrogant at the same time. Black is lazy and easy – but mysterious. But above all black says this: ‘I don’t bother you – don’t bother me.'” So put on your heels and strut down the hallway. Look fierce girls.
