Drenched in Otherworldly Charm-FOTD and OOTD (June 20, 2013)





 
Maxi Dress-Torrid (Pretty sure it's on sale right now!) Shirt-Target Sandals-K-mart 

Oh my God, a dark lip? I know right? Not something I usually go for but I figured the look needed an extra lil something something. I really like the whole shirt tied under the boobs look lately. I wear this shirt like that with a lot of my sleeveless dresses. It makes a dress look sassy while covering my arms up. 

What I used:

Eyes-
Wet n Wild Primer
Maybelline Color Tattoo in Barely Beige 
Wet n Wild I heart mattes palette dark reddish brown (Used to cover half of the lid leaving space on the lid for another shade.)
Darling Girl cosmetics eyeshadow in Otherworldly(Used in the crease and the empty half of the lid.)
Random matte white (To highlight the inner corner of the lid yo.)
Random matte ivory (They're both probably from the I heart mattes palette I think... used to highlight the brow.) 
liner of course 
mascara 

lips-
Random deep wine lipliner from dollar store
Illamasqua lipstick in Drench (Though a lighter red the wine color deepened the shade nicely.)
Clinque Lip thingie in Black Honey (Added gloss and used to darken the shade further.) 

I made Shaun take pictures of me this time, that's why my hand is all fuzzy in the last picture. I think I need a tripod! (Oh and a cleaner space to use as a back drop.)

Baby Bat Goes Off the Deep End-FOTD and OOTD (June 4, 2013)






In the past my curvy frame has kept me from exploring fashion but now that the world of plus size fashion has expanded so has my closet. This shirt is one of my favorites, flowy and goth-esque, I feel tough yet cute when I wear it. It looks perfect with a pair of skinny jeans but even better with a bandage skirt. The weather was really hot last week but this week it's turned to a cool sixty degrees, thus the tights. I usually wear a subtler eye when I wear such a heavy print though polymorph by femme fatale was just calling to me.

What I wore:

Top and cami: Dots
Skirt,tights, second earrings and ring: Forever 21
Boots and angel earrings: Target

Eyes-
Wet n Wild Primer
Maybelline Color Tattoo Barely Biege and Blue Paradise
Femme Fatale cosmetics eyeshadow in Polymorph (Patted on zee lid.)
Urban Decay eyeshadow in Deep End(Placed into the crease with a small brush then blended with a fluffy one.)
Urban Decay eyeshadow in Sellout (Used to highlight all over.)
Physicians Formula Eyeliner pen
Nyx glide on pencil in White
Mascara

Lips-
Etude Lipstick in Idk but this lippie is awesome God I wish I knew the shade

Please excuse my terrible posing! I'm sure I look like a sullen teen whose camera turned on by it's self, I am totally not a model.

Hurts like Heaven-OotD (12/04/2012)





Top:Forever 21(Similar)  Cardigan: Torrid Jeans: Dots(Similar) Hat: Target   Boots:GabrielBrothers(Similar)  Earrings: Forever21(Similar) 

Uh hey guys. Yes this semester is nearly at it's end! I've worked a show, I've failed a class and I declared my Major. It may not have been the best semester for me but it's certainly been one of the more exciting ones.
Oh today is my birthday! I'm officially 25! I had a mini "oh god that's my age?" freak out for like two seconds. Then I realized that age is just a number. I'm happy where my life is right now. I've grown leaps and bounds since last year. So here's to 25! 
Now that my closet has expanded I hope to do more outfit of the day posts and more face of the days. What do you guys think of this look? I really love my polka dot top. Probably the best ten bucks I've ever spent ever. See ya soon!

The Good Witch (October 11,2012)-Ootd




Dress:Torrid (Similar Cut)  Cami:Dots  Sweater: Lane Bryant  Boots: Kohls (Similar)  Cuff: Hot Topic Bracelet: Craft Store  Necklace: Gift 

This outfit was fun to wear, I felt really cute. I wish I could say I loved the dress but it's a bit to big on me now. The sweater adds definition without weighing the dress down. (Plus it kept me warm.) I'm not usually a hat person but damn is that hat awesome. I found it at a craft store of all places. I need at least four more of these hats in different colors so I can wear them with everything.
My friend loved this outfit. She said I looked like a kindergarden teacher that was actually a witch. She then went on to develop a whole story where I taught the children of my class how to call faeries and perform magic through dance. That's what you get for hanging out with writers all day long.
So whatcha think of this outfit? Boho or no go?

Working Girl-Outfit of the Day (September 27,2012)




Shirt:Target  Cami:Dots  Jeans:Dots  Boots:Candies
Also know as: Where Helen cosplays Sam Winchester
I missed you guys! I haven't blogged much because I recently got a job working at Lane Bryant. I've also been going to school full time. It's a bit stressful and sometimes I'm unsure of myself but so far so good.
The simple make-up you see before you has become my uniform for school and work. It's easy to slap on some ivory shadow and brown in the crease with a little liner. I miss apply colors though.
Okay I know these pictures are blurry as hell around my face. Bare with me here, I've never taken ootd pics before. I had a friend help but she's not used to taking full body shots either. I'd love some more tips to taking full body shots!
