A Bit of Easter Shopping

Hey all, C here.
I'm home for the Easter long weekend, and decided to take advantage of that fact and go shopping with my mom. A little shopping therapy to wipe a way the stress from school is exactly what I needed. I bought the red denim straight cut pants from Jacob on sale for $29.99. The peach floral printed top was $18 and the blue & gold geometric print top was $15. Both of these were from Forever 21. But I think my best bargain of the day was this gold geometric print necklace from Forever 21 for only $1.50. bargain! Me and J would like to see what you guys bought this weekend, tweet us a pic! Happy Easter <3

C's Hong Kong Gifts

Hey all, my friend visited Hong Kong recently and came back with some really cute accessories for me. 

Love her and love these presents! Check 'em out:

1. An envelope clutch w/ a matching keychain    2. A set of wooden / metal bangles   3. An antique style brooch

slow dancing in a dressing room......

           After trying on several dresses, (one of which I bought and will post in a My New Purchases post)... I wanted to document my actual outfit for the day. There was something about the lighting, the lovely full length mirror, and the overall Forever21 decor in my dressing room that screamed "PHOTO-OP!" Come to think of it, I probably held up a line of girls waiting to do the same, but you know when you're feeling good the rest just doesn't seem to matter. So I decided to channel John Mayer and slow dance in a dressing room....

Now let's breakdown my look:

• I'm wearing an abstract print jersey jumpsuit by Apostrophe. I bought this from Sears last summer for 13 bucks, but this was my first time wearing it. haha... I loved it then, and really love it now.

• The jumpsuit has spaghetti straps, so I brought a thin woven jacket for layering. Also from Sears, it has a pleated open waterfall front, and a slight sheen to the fabric which means it can be dressed up or down.

• My sandals are from Forever21; They're a nude patent t-strap and were only $7.50.

• Jewelry included a long-chained LOVE necklace in black, gold, and rhinestone... Three bracelets in dark brown wood, black bead, and a beige gemstone strand set in gold... And my earrings were a pair of olive/brown pearlized studs rimmed in gold (Pictured in the My New Purchases Post)...

• My everyday bag is in the background on the door handle, check out It's your birthday, so I know you wanna STYLE out... for a better picture and description.

How To Make A Headwrap

Have you guys seen the headwraps at stores like Forever21 and Macy's? I know I have and now I'm obsessed. The couple that I have so far are beyond cute, I absolutely love them. But have you ever wondered how to make them? It's actually quite easy. Here are a few quick steps to help you make one, using scarves you probably have at home.

Step 1: Find a square scarf. The one I used is one of my moms old polyester scarves.

Step 2: Fold the scarf diagonally in half into a triangle.

Step 3: Fold the scarf over several times, so you end up with a long thin rectangle.

LOL I look like a maniac, don't mind me.

Step 4: Wrap the scarf around your head and cross the ends into an X shape. (pictured)

Step 5: Now twist your X around so the center is a tight twist. (The ends should overlap so they are the opposite of Step 4.)

Step 6: Simply wrap the ends around to the back of your head & tie a knot.

Step 7: Tuck the excess fabric underneath the headband to create a neat look.


Headwraps work with any hairstyle. Whether you plan to wear your hair down, in a messy bun, or in cute braid... you can't go wrong with a headwrap. Especially if it's homemade!

You can also make a headwrap using a scarf that's long, thin, and rectangular, instead of square-shaped. Skipping the folding step, go straight into wrapping it around your head, and then twist at the center.
