A Lovely Day By The Lake

Summer is coming to an end and soon the leaves will be falling and there will be a crisp in the air. The time for hoodies and drinking cups of hot cocoa by the fireplace are just around the corner. So, to enjoy the last days of Summer I went to the lake a few days ago. You may know that one of my favorite places to go is the beach. Being around a lake makes be kind of feel like I'm at the beach.

Hayley Williams Inspired Makeup and Outfits

Hayley Williams has always been a huge inspiration to me. Not only do I love Paramore, but I also love her style. Hayley's style has always been unique. She never really did what everyone else was doing. That's what I think drew me to her. She was different. Her style has always been a little tomboyish as well as edgy. Recently, she adds a bit more feminine touches.

It's not just what she wears that makes her a fashion icon to me, but also how she wears her makeup and hair. Oh I wish I could get away with some of the hairstyles she has had.



To start of Hayley has always been a huge fan of makeup. She normally keeps her face simple and natural. Her big thing is her eyes. She always has a lot of eyeshadow either dark or bright colors as well as thick flick winged eyeliner.

 

 

Make Up Inspiration:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Starting with the face I used a full coverage foundation (Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation). I then added bronzer in the hollow of my cheeks, under my jaws and my temples. I also added a hint of blush. The main focus of this look though is the eyes. I used the Material Girl palette for the whole eye look. I used "Snowflake" to create a base on the eyelid. Next, I applied "Sheer Smoke" in the crease and blended it in. Then, I applied "Purple Prism" all on my eyelid and a little past the crease of my eye. I wanted this to be an intense eye look, so I added black to the outer corners of my eye and blended thoroughly. For my lashes I used "Clinique High Impact Mascara in Black". To finish the eye look I applied eyeliner around my eye and a winged liner. Lastly, I applied Estee Lauder lipstick in "Nectarine Shimmer" to finish the whole look.

Teen Choice Awards 2015 Best Dressed

The TCAs has always been one of my favorite award show. Not because of the award show it self but because of the fashion. They always happen in the summer and the fashion is always very colorful, casual and fun. So, here are my top 5 best dressed from the TCA's.


5. Britney Spears

Britney looked absolutely gorgeous in this plunging cut out dress. Work Girl! 

 

 

 

4. Little Mix

 

I loved every single one of their outfits, but my favorite would have to be Perrie's. The white fringe skirt with the colorful crop is the prefect combination.

 

 

 

3. Lucy Hale 

 

Lucy Hale never does wrong. She looked stunning in this blue mini dress.

 

 

 

2. Rita Ora

 

You can never go wrong with a good pant suit.

 

 

 

1. Nina Dobrev

 

This was a no brainer for me. Nina looked absolutely stunning in this gitzy striped mini dress.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

P.S Who else got a bit emotional during Nina's speech. The Vampire Diaries will never be the same without you Neens.

Style Icon: Audrey Hepburn

This is the beginning of a series where I share my style icons. So, first up is Audrey Hepburn. When I think of Audrey Hepburn sophistication and beauty comes to mind. Her style was elegant, simple and classic. Audrey Hepburn really is the definition of beauty.


Audrey Hepburn was a member of the International Best Dressed List and was elevated into its Hall of Fame in 1961. Audrey was included in People's "50 Most Beautiful People in the World" in 1990. She received the Council of Fashion Designers of America's Lifetime of Style Award in 1992.


Something that I love about Audrey Hepburn is that she didn't try to be beautiful. She just was effortlessly.


"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone." - Audrey Hepburn
