Classic Pin Up Makeup ♥

Leave a comment

When I think of Marilyn Monroe there are two things that come to mind, Red lips and a Mole. The Classic Pin Up makeup look has been around for years and I still think it can be one of the most sophisticated and classy makeup looks someone can wear. This look literally goes with every skin tone, and every outfit. You can dress it up or dress it down. You can wear it for any occasion. It’s just one of those classic looks that you can always go to.

I spoke about my M.A.C Viva Glam Rihanna Lipstick in my last L.O.T.M post , I’ve been so obsessed with this red, that it basically inspired me to create this look for you guys. It’s such a simple look that anyone can do this!

I hope you guys enjoy this tutorial and if you do please thumbs up, like, comment, and share the video!

California OOTD – Day 1 Pt.2 ♥

Leave a comment

Our first day in California was a busy day! in my last post I told you guys what we did earlier in the day. After our stroll through the beaches of Long Beach, we met up with my boyfriend’s close friend. All three of us headed to Los Angeles to see the walk of fame and all of the great touristy attractions. Unfortunately for us, the Chinese theatre was closed so we weren’t able to see that or anything inside of it, but it was cool seeing the walk of fame and the Hollywood sign!

At night it tends to get a little chilly in California, so I made sure to change into pants and a long sleeved blouse. It was such a comfortable outfit and it kept me warm through the night. It was also dressy enough for what we had planned later in the night.

After having a Touristy afternoon, we went to Lisa Vanderpump’s ( From the real housewives of Beverly Hills) restaurant, SUR. Unfortunately, I was unable to take pictures while inside but let me reassure you, it is worth the hype. The food was delicious and priced well. The atmosphere gave you the feeling of a lounge but still kept it classy. It was truly a great experience and I will be returning when I am back in California!

California OOTD – Day 1 Pt. 1 ♥

2 Comments

One of my many dreams growing up has always been to visit California & eventually live there. I was finally able to make that happen last week! It was the most amazing trip I have taken in a while but one week was just not enough time. We (my boyfriend & I) stayed from Monday -Sat, so not really a full week (more like 4 days since we got in late and left early) But we got so much done! I decided to take advantage of the amazing weather and backgrounds to take OOTD pictures for you guys! The weather there was in the 60’s/70s but at night it got really chilly (and if you know me, I’m always cold!)  which is why this post will contain two parts. I actually changed my outfit at night so that will be in my next OOTD post.

This first Outfit I wore on Tuesday, which was the first day we actually got to explore beautiful California. We were staying in Long Beach, so we decided to explore this area first. We ended up driving to a nearby beach which was a little deserted but beautiful nonetheless.

I decided to wear my Maxi dress because it was comfortable enough to walk around and stroll through the beach with, but also it covered my legs so that I wouldn’t freeze to death. okay, yes I’m exaggerating just a little bit, it wasn’t that cold, but being near the water deff. makes things a little more windy and chilly so this outfit was perfect.

Although you can’t see it in these pictures, for makeup, I wanted to go with a bold look because my outfit was so simple. Also, I haven’t been wearing much makeup lately because of work so it was fun playing with colors! We all know my favorite lipstick of all time is this purple one from Revlon so it was a must for the first day in my dream state.
