My lips looks huge here!!!! Normally they are pretty flat and not so plump. I didn't do anything special to them (collagen injections galore!! hehe just fooling). I decided to use a really shimmery gold gloss at the highest points on my lips (the shine) and it looks pretty darn make-out-a-ble. I think people stop "making out" at 18 right?

Outfit details...

This isn't a fashion blog, but I had to somehow share my excitement and joy.

I wish it was something big like winning a million dollars, or finding out that the Nordstrom near me is handing out free shoes.

Nothing as wonderful.

I am excited over an idea.

Simply just an idea.

Have you ever figured something out or got an idea that was so great you can't contain yourself?

How about getting a little bit of insight that made you realize that this might possibly change your life.

I've had only a few of those during my life time. The first one was starting a YT focused on DIY. That has changed over the years, but it was an idea and I went with my gut.

Another great idea that came to me was this blog. Maybe it wasn't great, but it hit me so hard that I needed to do this.

Alright..here is the idea.

For the longest time I have always wanted to start my own fashion line. I was/am too scared to even think about starting something so new. Not to mention competing with the market that I am in.

I don't have a ANY resources. NONE! No financial backing, little to no network, and the man power has totaled up to one.

All I have are the designs and Ideas in my head. Even so, they are just mediocre designs. I can't possibly think that I can market mediocre designs at a planned price range to make any profit. Breaking even alone will be a blessing.

My idea comes at the most random moments. Brushing my teeth, showering, driving, or trying to pay the cashier at the store.

This ah-ha! moment, is probably one of the most prolific ideas I have ever had in my life.

Not only did I come up with the name for my line -which I really struggled with.  I came up with a design that will work. Something that is functional, sustainable, and always reliable.

I can go on and on about it, but I gotta get to sketching and making samples.

2013 is going to be a really good beginning!

*H&M (Vegas) Sweater Dress-Bought it last year on my birthday.One of the most shapeless and almost non-flattering dresses ever. It's a little long on me, but I had a thing for burnt orange last fall.
*Cowboy Hat- Bought 3 years ago in a souvenir shop in Galveston.
*Tory Burch Elina Wedges-More pictures of them Here. Seen Here and Here
*Jewel Mint Necklace-One of my favorite Jewel Mint pieces
*Combination of skinny belts. American Eagle Brown Leather, Forever21 Chain&Leather, Charlotte Russe Gold Horse Belt also seen Here

Today I went to Macy's to pick up a few things for a New Years Eve OOTD video. Christmas is not even over and here I am thinking about NYE. I really dislike going to the mall. A few things happens; 1) I get extremely irritated by the horrible parking, 2) I cringe when I have to spend money and  3) I am easily enabled.

I was extremely good today. I went in. Grabbed what I needed. I conquered and got the hell out!  After Black Friday, I don't want to hand over my notes for clothes ever again!

I also decided to bust out the new Tory Burch Elina Wedges just to break them in. Boy were they EXTREMELY comfortable. I was in them for 3 hours, including taking twenty something jumping shots and coming out without blisters.

*Tory Burch Elina Wedge Bootie here. Read about how I picked out these shoes here.
*Forever 21 Basic T-shirt
*Forever 21 Anorak Vest
*Forever 21 Cigarette Denim
*Express Belt that came for free with a pair of shorts I bought.
*I have no idea where I got this hat. I want to say Kohl's but it has been in my closet for over 6 years! I couldn't give it up because I knew one day it will be suitable for me to wear it without looking too stupid.

-I didn't mean for this outfit to be completely Forever21. It makes my heart happy to know that the whole outfit was less than $50.

*H&M (Manhattan)  Shift Dress. Found it on the sales rack for $4.00! The thread on the pocket was a little loose, but it wasn't anything I couldn't fix.
*Matiko Oliver Stud from SoleStruck here.
*H&M (Tokyo) Hat.
*Forever21 Lace Cuff
*Tory Burch Cuff. I would never buy a cuff this expensive. I bought it because I need to hit the $200 mark to get 25% off. It kind of sorta paid for itself.
