My Favorites: May Edition

So today I had no need to go to work and since I had that free time, and not much of a reason to get all dolled up,I decided to present to you a few of my favorite go-to items from the month of May and give you all a little description of them. Enjoy!

So this first thing that I want to show you is this CarryLand crossbody bag that I purchased maybe 3 or 4 years ago. I believe it to be vintage but not 100% sure. When I first bought this bag I really wasn't crazy about it. It was until I realized that I had sort of a thing for items old and unique that I actually started to love this bag! It's super easy just throw on, and fashionable also, making it truly a stable in my closet.

  So these next items are my favorite lippies right now. The left one is by Maybelline and it is called "Red Revival". It's a really the most perfect and true red lipstick I've ever had. It would look good on pretty much anyone. The one on the right is by Wet n' Wild and it's called "Java". Now, for every girl who is of a deep complexion sort of like mine, and is looking for the most the best nude lipstick, this is "the" one. It may look a little purplish in the photo but it's not. Ever since searching on YouTube and watching videos of girls with nude lipstick and seeing how beautiful it looked, I just had to find one.

So you guys of course don't know it yet but I used to be a huge reader and is just recently getting back into it, especially since I want to pursue a career in Fashion Buying. To the right, as you can probably already see, is the latest issue of Elle magazine. I have been an avid reader of this magazine for the fact that I love keeping up with trends and knowing what designers, and other fashion people in the world are up to. Reading the personal stories of how editors, designers, and fashion writers, to name a few, have made it in the fashion industry and are successful gives me that drive and motivation to go after my dreams. 

On the left is my "journal" that I've recently been using. Besides expressing myself here on my blog, I release my more deeper emotions here. It's a really good emotional release I would say. 

 

OMGosh I love this perfume so much. My boyfriend bought it for me a long time ago and I have just been savoring every bit of it. I just can't let it go! This perfume is the Marc Jacobs "Daisy" and it smells so freakin' good. It has a fresh floral scent that I find perfect for the Spring and Summer months. The bottle design and simple but the top with the two flowers, how can you not see this bottle and not want to buy it? 

Secondly, the shades are from Justfab. I'm like sorta addicted to Justfab, just saying. These are called "St. Thomas". Great sunny weather find. I love big frames. They fit my round face perfectly and would go with any outfit.

I Workout!

I have been working out kind of a lot lately and these two things have really been my go-to for exercise and just staying fit and healthy. My goal before the end of this year is to lose about 20 pounds. (P.S I'll share more about this in a later blog) I have just really been on this health craze lately and I've come to the realization that if I don't make myself change, who will? The answer is no one! I can't slack off and be unhealthy, heck, I have a life to live!

What are your must haves for these Spring and Summer months?
