All Black Everything: Kim and Kanye

Look who has become a part of the All Black Dynasty! I don't know if it's Kanye or if she is just in love but Kim Kardashian's fashion game has been ON POINT lately. I loveee black anyways so her wardrobe lately has been calling my name. Check out some of the best Kimye looks. 















Isn't she gorgeous? While on this weight loss journey I Google pics of her ALL THE TIME to keep me on track. Ahh I love my style guru. You even notice she has tamed down her extensions and makeup, I love it. Go Kimmy, Go Kimmy, Go Kimmy :D

July Obsession: Vintage Scarves

How could I let the month pass me by without doing a July Obsession? Lately I have been SO into silk scarves, especially the vintage ones. 



I enjoy using them as headbands but they are lovely as scarves too! I like to go to the thrift or Etsy.com for mine. I especially love the scarves by Vera Neumann (she was Marilyn Monroe's fave!).









So are you guys a fan of scarves? I love the versatility and many of them are pretty cheap. Hope you enjoyed this post :)

This or That Fashion, Nails and Hair Tag

I couldn't resist! I love these things :D

FASHION
*Jeans or sweatpants? JEANS! I only wear sweatpants if I'm working out, late for class or I'm on my period and feel too ugly to be fashionable.
*Long sleeve or short? I prefer long sleeves because I have chunky arms (just keeping it real!) but seeing as how I live in Texas that is not always feasible lol.
*Dresses or skirts? Skirts because they are more versatile.
*Stripes or plaid? I don't own much of either...
*Flip flops or sandals? I don't own a single pair of flip flops! They just aren't... GLAM enough for me. Give me a nice gladiator sandal any day.
*Scarves or hats? For sure scarves but I love beanies in the winter :)
*Studs or dangly earrings? It depends on the outfit but probably dangly.
*Cowboy boots or Riding boots? BOTH! I'm from Texas darlin'! I want a pair of pink and turquoise cowboy boots and riding boots in black and tan. 
*Jacket or hoodie? Jackets, especially blazers. I don't even own a hoodie, but I do think the PINK ones from Victoria's Secret are adorable. 
*Necklaces or bracelets? Both, the gaudier for me the better. Ha!
*Forever21 or Charlotte Russe? Forever21

HAIR
*Curly or straight? Straight. I used to like curly hair a lot but I feel if you have a full face it can emphasize that.
*Bun or ponytail? BOTH!
*Bobby pins or butterfly clips? Bobby pins, I wore butterfly clips in 5th grade -__-
*Hairspray or gel? Gel (I prefer JAM), I have to have my edges smooth.
*Long or short? Long
*Side or Full bang? Side
*Up or down? Down, what's the point in buying weave if you can't show it off ??

RANDOM
*Paris Hilton or Perez Hilton? Def Perez. Once Paris dissed Kim K on the radio she was immediately on my list! 
*Rollerskating or Ice skating? Rollerskating, I was a beast in my younger days.
*Pink or Purple? PINK <3
*Nose or Monroe piercings? I don't like face piercings.
*Lil Kim or Nicki Minaj? It's Barbie b****!
*Vampire or werewolf? Neither, I'd rather be a witch! #TeamGryffindor 
*Twilight or Harry Potter? *see above*
*Single or in a relationship? Uhm, is there a "totally confused" option? Lmao!

That was FUN! I love doing these because it let's you all know more and more about me. Do it on your blogs, you'll enjoy it I promise <3

Plato's Closet Mini Haul

Hola babes! I'm backkk with a mini haul for you guys. So you know I love Plato's Closet, while selling some items of course I found something I wanted.

Something Different...

Hello all! TGIF! So this week has been one of many new beginnings for me. I have recently started a weight loss program and it has gotten me excited about the wonderful things to come in my life.

Instead of snacking being my hobby I thought why not pick up something that I've always loved: drawing! I found a bunch of sketch pads and Prismacolors in my closet so I said why not? I haven't drawn in a LONG time so don't judge too harshly. 

ORIGINAL PICTURE
I found this BEAUTIFUL picture off of Google images and I wanted to challenge myself. I love fashion drawings and I hope to get good enough to begin working on canvases soon. I am not sure of who the artist is but this artwork is fabulous. 

MY SKETCH
Sorry it's kind of dark! I was really trying to make the skirt look pretty, I redrew it about 10 times!

THE FINISHED PRODUCT
I know it doesn't look EXACTLY like the picture but I was pretty happy with the way it turned out. I forgot just how relaxing it was to sit at my desk and just draw! I am in love with it all over again. 

I really hope you guys like my art work. I'm going to keep practicing and sharing my progress with you guys. 

xoxo,
Ash

Covergirl Lipstick Review in "Tempt"

Red lipstick should be a staple in every woman's makeup collection. But I understand finding a flattering shade can be difficult because you want to make a statement but you don't want to look like a clown either. No worries, I got you!




I am a big fan of Covergirl lipsticks and "Tempt" does not disappoint. 

PROS
*Creamy texture
*More of a muted red
*Lasts for hours

CONS
*The color does bleed at times, so a lip liner is necessary


On women of color, it will look a little on the maroon side but it is very flattering.


On women with paler complexions it will have a berry tinge to it. For more of a pop you can add gloss, as shown above.

Overall I give this product an A-, for $7 you cannot beat this! I bought mine at Target but I'm sure it's available at all drugstores. Until next time :D
