surprise, surprise… another month has come and gone. i feel like just yesterday i was writing a post about december and here we are ushering in february. luckily for me, i love february, which means new ~tasteful~ heart decor will be decorating my place. there are a few things on my list for the month: exploring brooklyn by way of walking the brooklyn bridge, taking a trip out to the beach, planning a trip with my friends from home, reading as much as possible, and talking about more beauty-related things on here. i mean if february isn’t the month of romantic eyes and alluring lips then i don’t know what is… stay tuned for those kinds of posts, because i promise they are coming!

the 4th

a simple, but pretty white romper | a nude heel that can definitely be worn more than once | one of my favorite red lipstick colors | love these stickers and these 

i’ve said this before and here i am saying it again, but some of my favorite outfits are the ones that are seemingly simple with a bit of a wow factor. when it comes to the fourth of july we all know the color scheme: red, white, and blue. it is the day of all days to be as american as possible, but understandably you may want a more understated approach to this holiday… especially if you’ll be spending the night out and about, taking in some fireworks, and enjoying a drink or two (or more…). i love the combination of a white outfit and nude shoes… the first reason is that the white has the possible (emphasis on possible, at least for me) effect of making you appear tanner, and nude shoes do a mighty fine job of elongating your legs. throw on a red lip, grab a jean jacket, and if you’re feeling particularly festive maybe throw a star sticker or two on the tops of your cheeks.

over the years i have accumulated a lot of lipsticks, and they’re something that i really like. scratch that, they’re something that i love. i will admit it took me a while to wear color outside of my house a.k.a. outside of doing makeup tutorials in my bathroom. it’s not something i always do (especially because i stick to my favorite nude colors, like mac faux or urban decay naked lipgloss), but there’s something special about a red lip. i know, i know, that sounds so cliched, but it’s true. red lipstick instantly transforms an outfit, and can help make you look put together… especially if you’re feeling otherwise.  that little collage below are some of my favorites that are tried and true, and a post on red lips just seems like the perfect way to kick off february.

Lust List

samudra bags are the best // the go-to pair of sunglasses // keep calm and wear lipstick // a camera that would be great for taking some artsy cherry blossom pictures (if they ever bloom) // a small bag for someone who doesn’t like to carry any bag // a dress that looks as comfy as pajamas // a BAM pair of summer sandals // a hat i wish i could wear

the weather here in d.c. has been absolutely insane… one day it seems like it’s about to get nice and warm, and the next it’s snowing and we have a delay in classes. i’m holding out hope that spring weather is right around the corner, and it should be, but the wait has me imagining summer. so until the spring temperatures arrive, i’ll be looking up warm weather clothes and pretending i’m in some tropical place.

article-0-1A8AC10D000005DC-340_634x824the other day i posted a photo on instagram announcing the return of MEGamakeupaddict, the name i used to post tutorials on polyvore. looking back on this name i cringe a little bit, but i’m not going to lie and say it isn’t accurate. there were days i’d come home after school and head straight to my beauty stash, grabbing a few pieces to apply for a new look. that was the norm, and i miss doing makeup like that. i can’t tell you that getting the black swan makeup off my face was easy, but it was one of the coolest things i’ve ever done. so i’ve made the decision to go back to playing around with makeup more often. you won’t see me posting photos of my eyeballs or anything like that, but there will definitely be some more beauty-oriented posts.  5ddb6b3ae3ab9f631d19dca04e7d23a0-1 9ed6ddbc84a967045111d188dccdab1c bdc3262198827483fa77adcbf7d7941ff527eb6e0fac51ea920f0cd81a56b99a

i am a huge fan of the graphic shirt. for me they’re up there with stripes, and although i don’t have nearly as many as i do stripes, i still treasure them. graphic shirts may not be your thing, and you could be looking at this and thinking, “why?”. but if there’s a part of you that wants to try them, please go for it! they are so easy to wear casually, or dress up. i love to do both… for example, one of my favorite shirts looks great with a pair of leggings and cream colored lo-top converse, but it looks just as good tucked into a tan leather skirt with a pair of flats.

every time the summer olympics rolls around, you will find me stationed in front of the tv when it comes to certain events. tonight will be one of those nights… there’s the men’s 200m im, where i’ll be rooting for team usa (and a little more for michael phelps!). i’ve been avoiding twitter, tumblr and any news outlets so i don’t see the results, but i really hope we medal in the women’s all around gymnastics final and swimming. fingers crossed!! i put together some simple olympics-inspired pieces i’d love to wear, and a pair of boots that can go from being casual to easily dressed up!

The other day I was browsing through my tumblr dashboard looking for outfit inspiration for work (J.Crew), when I came across this picture.

As soon as I saw it I loved it, and am on my hunt to make this outfit (or one very similar to it) my own. I love the elegance of the skirt paired with the raglan along with the other touches of accessories, such as the leopard scarf and the red lip. I wear Ray Ban reading glasses, and love to rock some wild lip colors, so this outfit is right up my alley.

Here’s my take on it:

American Apparel Unisex Raglan

J.Crew Leopard Scarf

Revlon Ravish Me Red Lipstick

Ray Ban Reading Glasses
