Red and Leopard

I was so excited when my sweet friend that reps for Athena Attire sent me a gc!! When I saw this dress I had to have it! I wore leggings with it to work (obviously.) However for the shoot I decided to wear it just as a dress, probably not a good idea if you're taller than 5'4!! ;) Red and leopard print just go together, I knew immediately what shoes I would pair with this dress!!

Follow my friend here for 10% off all your orders. I also linked a few favs, one, two and three. I also have had my eye on these for awhile, I NEED them!

Baking

So most of us failed at highlighting and contouring and I personally felt like strobing was not for me. So now we bake! No I'm not taking drugs or cakes I'm talking makeup baking! So cooking or "baking" your makeup is actually a really old thing that bloggers are just now talking about. Basically is just making your concealer matte to the extreme!! You put your concealer under your eyes or wherever you want to highlight, then blend it in, THEN get a setting powder, my personal fav is Ben Nye Banana Powder using your beauty blender apply it everywhere you used your concealer. Then you need to wait about 10, 15 minutes if possible for it to "bake." At this point I start on my eyes, it will take me at least 10 mins to do that! Then take a brush and just dust off the powder and then you can apply your face powder! I'm obsessed with this now!!  Here is a video just in case you dont understand my instructions. My favorite concealer of all time is Urban Decay, however I know a lot of people don't want to pay $28 on concealer so here and here are some drug store brand I use also. I'm out of my Urban Decay at the moment and need to make a serious Ulta run so I'm currently using Smashbox.

What doesn't kill you makes you blonder.

I love Miranda Lambert and this song, and my blonde hair...and graphic tee's!!

Shopping tips from MY personal experience. 

Always check how its made, does it have stretch, no stretch, I always need to check things like that. 
If its an older item does it have reviews? Always check the reviews, they'll usually let you know if its true to size, size up or down. Looks at the style gallery too! They have an awesome style gallery where customers have loaded their own way of styling the item, this has helped me on lots of items I've ordered! I also encourage you to upload your own style there, you get points!
SheIn takes most credit cards and best of all PAYPAL! You can also always find active codes on the side bar of my blog :) The more you spend the more you save ;) 
I always get asked the question of shipping. For me its always been really fast! I've never had to wait longer than 14 business days to get something!

99% chance of wine tonight..
