Shoes.

 

Waikiki beach & Waikiki & Diamond head

 The view from where I'm sitting.

I moved to Hawaii last August for school and have been adjusting ever since. Now, why I decided to go to school in Hawaii when I dislike hot weather, is a mystery to me. Luckily It has been raining off and on since December, which makes me happy, but makes wearing suede a bad idea. These Isabel Marant wedge sneakers were the last expensive gift I bought myself before coming a poor college student. Luckily, my boyfriend was in Paris, during the summer, where he was able to find them so they were a little less expensive than buying them here in the states. They are super comfortable, like wearing running shoes, just a little heavier. They pair nicely with skinny jeans and a tee, which I live in. I know these are a love/hate item, so what do you think?

color: Gris (grey)

look more brown/tan with grey undertones than a true grey

January Favorites.

One month down.

peanut butter and chairs galore, the story.

January, not as eventful as I thought it would be. The first half of this month was dedicated to an online winter class that took up every minute of my time. Right after I started spring semester that includes a 7:30am class. Brilliant...

 

don't let monsters give you cake.

  I have used this everyday since it has been in my hands. My boyfriends mom gave it to me for xmas, but I did pick out the colors. Since there isn't an Inglot store anywhere near me I went off of swatches from blogs to choose the colors I wanted instead of the Inglot website. I personally don't trust cosmetic websites for accurate color swatches, but I do have trust issues. Your choice. The eyeshadow themselves are amazing, color pay off is awesome and they blend beautifully. My bottom row is all matte and the top are pearls.

Or they will throw peanut butter at you.

Two products that are in my daily routine and for good reason. The Garnier sleek and shine helps manage and straigthen my long medium thick wavy hair. I normally don't use this with a flat iron or as my heat protector, although it's "meant" to. I will blow dry my hair about 85% and then spray this all over and continue drying my hair, that works for me. Origins VitaZing is great for a no makeup makeup look. While the coverage is almost nothing, it just gives a great finish that I feel comfortable enough to leave the house even if I don't look perfect (as always).

and make you sit in highchairs, the end.

 How damn cute is that? I am confused on if this Miss Dior, or Miss Dior Cherie. I believe Cherie was discontinued, but this replaced it. I have also heard that while it is similar, it is not the same. Either way, I really do love this. I am almost positive it will be my next full sized perfume purchase. It was a Sephora 100 point perk a while back, and I can never say no to a perfume mini. Excuse the nails. The last product, no close up, it the Sephora Retractable brow pencil in 04 midnight brown. I wanted something cheap and without red undertones. At $12, it was cheap enough and based on reviews there wasn't any red or warm undertones, great. Works perfectly and really gives a great color that doesn't warm up once it is on the skin.

Waikiki sunrise.

Here it goes.

I am a California woman-child, (technically a grown up, but leave me unsupervised and disaster is sure to follow) living in Hawaii, and trying to figure out how life is supposed to work (as well as accent marks on a Mác). lol

Stick around for posts on tacos, lipstick and questionable fashion taste.
