Happy November!

It has been the rainiest autumn I have ever seen here in Ocean Springs! It's 70 degrees and it just pours. It's just so strange to me. People are having blizzards right now, making snow angels. Their breath looks like smoke in the air. I'm getting sunburn and sweating. IN NOVEMBER.

Since, I have been trapped inside by the sound of raindrops, which I am definitely not complaining about, I have been trying out different makeup looks. I tried a Mila Kunis smokey eye. It's not perfect but voila!

I and Danielle!

Here's a recent photo of me and my best friend Danielle. I've come to the conclusion that she is my soul sister. Have you ever been around someone and it just felt right? And you can't imagine your life any other way. I have never laughed harder, felt more happy, with any other friend. I just love her.




So, I made my Halloween Costume.

I know it is way past Halloween but I just had to share. I was going to be an angel, so imagine this as angelic minus wings. But of course, I changed my mind last minute, bought a dress, and was a Greek goddess. We can't all be decisive!

I am back from my hiatus if anyone missed me! :)

If you have to know I made this by tearing apart an old nightgown and resewing the pieces to my liking. Pretty cool.

New clothes!

I know it seems like all I do is buy clothes but that just isn't so! Here is a simple dress that I bought from GAP, only $7. It was far too cute to pass up.
Worn with a white button up.


Also bought this unicorn shirt from Forever 21! I love unicorns and anything mythical really.


I call this my jailbird sweater. I feel pretty but I also feel incarcerated, which I imagine is rather rare.
 This is Danielle's baby sister, Katie, she was fairly excited. I feel I look very young in this photo!

Lady Frankenstein Makeup!




Lady Frankenstein!
Hey everybody! I recently read the book, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. I have to say that it is such a wonderful novel! My heart goes out to Frankenstein's monster, all he wanted in the whole wide world was to be loved, to have somebody to spend his life with. His whole life he was rejected, turned away from humanity, and spurned with hatred. In the book, the monster begs his creator, Frankenstein to make a woman for him, whom he can love and live with, someone as wretched as he. The Doctor begins and is almost finished but he gets scared that there will be a race of 'demons of hell' and throws the whole project away. I always admired the monster, and think perhaps one could look past his looks to love his beautiful mind. Oh, fiction you wrap me up within you far too much.  Anyway! If any of you are interested as in what you need to get this Lady Frankenstein look, look no farther! I did this whole look for under $5! Also a regular black eyeliner for a wing. Do not fret just see below, here are the treasures of my trove!




I first used this white  eyeshadow that I bought today for nearly $1! I spread this all over my lid as a base. I didn't want the turquoise to be too bright, more green and matte.
Sally Hansen

This is the only real color I used and it was only $1. It is a bright bright turquoise in person. Very glittery. My only sadness was that it wasn't very thick. I had to apply multiple times to get the effect I desired.





Rimmel White Eyeliner



 I lined my lower lid with this and an inner tearducts to give my eyes a more open and awake look.
