NDOTD 16/25

bummin round the house
bought a restaurant.com coupon (mmmm can't wait to eat! lolz)
shitty pedicure (which i won't even torture you guys with a picture of, it was a great concept just reaaaally crappy execution! :( i'm gonna find a place that will create it the way i see it in my head, bastards)
yumm yumm yummmm sushi spot for dinner


16/25
i dunno why this juxtaposition of photos makes me lawlz, maybe cuz it looks like two sides of me and one thinks the other is a fuckin nut job? hahaha

[dress - ross, old
leggings - beauty supply, old (actually they're dark brown, not black as they appear to be)
random bangle and charm bracelet
Love ring
green swallow ring
pink glitter bow earrings]

i was gonna wear a cami underneath this dress but i changed my mind ;) i've always liked taking advantage of my membership in the itty bitty titty committee by wearing low cut tops/dresses.

nails done did diddity doo dah (& NDOTD)

on a side note, i kind of hate how bad grammar is so popular (e.g. "gettin my hair/nails did")... on a side side note here's a nifty site to help people learn how to use "i.e." and "e.g." (i myself just learned ;) lolz) HERE

first off...

15/25
[just threw this together because i had to get some groceries... and nail polish lolz... my pictures are never as pretty when they're not taken outside so i battled the wind on this one lolz
magenta v-neck - wal mart, old
floral dress - this is actually the same dress from here (13/25) & here (dress underneath the plaid tunic) that i turned into a skirt by tucking the top part in and belting it in sort of a bag skirt way
jean jacket - faith21
belt -thrifted
bangles - h&m
men's Puma slip on sneakers - footlocker ($20 on sale a few months back)]


anywho... i have been dyyying for a perfect grey nail polish (just plain grey, no sparkle or metallic) ever since i saw Curvy Girl Chic's pedicure here... but i have had absolutely no luck (in stores that is, i'm not a very big online buyer)! but in the process i have come across a couple really good buys :)


first on the left is the new nail polish line from Rimmel in Black Satin... i was drawn to the Rimmel display by this supposed "steel grey" 
photo from the real deal reviews blog
which looks like nothing more than taupe to me! poop! really pretty color though but NOT grey, at least not to me! anyways so i was really drawn to the packaging... when you hold the bottle it feels like you're holding an ice cube :D... and the brush is like super wide and curved at the end
image from Google
even though it could do with a little bit more tapering/thinning at the end... because of the fact that its so wide and thick when you put on nail polish the way (i assume) most of us do... you get a large amount of polish at the cuticle line... but maybe it just takes getting used to... i kind of like how i can just do my pink nails in one swoop though lolz ;)... yeah so i was very attracted to the packaging so i decided i should at least buy one bottle (plus its really good quality/value for about $4)... so i chose the good old never failing black (which you can see i've been wearing the past few days)... i don't know about you guys but i usually always swatch a fingernail before i buy polish and i was kind of hesitant because the first coat of this black went on really sheer... and the 2nd coat seemed really streaky and uneven and NOT opaque... but i went with my gut and bought it anyways... and when i did my manicure at home i guess it was just my application technique in the store because it turned out great at home! to be honest i only wore it for like 3 days (i removed it today because i really wanna wear the Orly one)... but it did stay super shiny for those few days and it really is the best black polish i've ever worn. i plan on buying more polishes (once they come out with some more shades!) from this Rimmel line.

okay so today in the search for a grey polish i was scouring my local Sally's Beauty Supply and saw that they had these Orly matte polishes ON SALE! soooo you know i had to snatch at least one (sadly there are only 3 shades available in the matte! :'( but i think i may have to go back and get one of the other 2, either matte black or this matte burgundy (at least thats what i think it was lolz) ok i just googled it and they actually ONLY have 3 matte shades in the entire brand, POOP! and its more of a purple-ish/eggplant not burgundy) aaanyways... so the Orly matte polish was $3.99 from $5.99 (it says they retail for $7.50 tho so i don't kno wuts up with Sally's)... aaand i'm about to apply it and perhaps try this nail fun-do with it! (from this blog)

here's what these 2 look like on me

so the hunt for grey goes on!

- khaki shorts (wal mart)
- aviators (thrifted)]

4/25
[These were taken at like 6am because we were heading to my Bae's parent's house to spend some QT with them :) That first one is me being excited for my first ever chambray dress :D You can wear it with or without these little straps but you know damn well I'll never wear those things lolz And I've grown sooo fond of my love beads! Glad I could wear them with this dress.

- brown cardigan (old)
- brown braided belt (ross $7)
- bead necklaces (beauty supply $1)
- colorful bangle (beauty supply $1) I really need to take a close up of this bangle because it's my favorite right now! It's like wooden but wrapped in this thread that changes color so it gives it this super colorful and really ethnic feel!]

5/25
[First off, excuse my boyfriend lolz I didn't feel like cropping him out. I've had this dress for a long time so it's nothing special but I thought I'd spice it up with this belt (that you will soon see I pretty much wore all weekend lolz) and my rough metallic bangles.

- bangles (charlotte russe)
- thats the same belt you've seen and that you're gonna keep seeing lolz]

[Going home outfit, once again nothing too crazy mostly comfy because I was gonna be on quite a few trains.
