Fun and Flirty Spring Outfit Ideas

Hello Everybody! Today I wanted to do some spring outfit ideas for you. It is almost spring time, which makes me very happy because I am over the rain and coldness! Once again, everything that I picked out is from H&M. I really like to give you guys outfit ideas from places where it is easily accessible, and super affordable. So let's get started! 


This first outfit is super casual and fun, and I just love it. This would be perfect for a chill day with friends, going out for lunch or shopping. I absolutely love this shirt with the donuts, I think it is so fun and also quite funny. I also am obsessed with this bag. Pastels are so in this spring and I just love the color. I paired it with some simple dark skinny jeans, and some white converse looking shoes. 


This outfit is a bit more sophisticated, I think it would also be perfect for a chill day out, or going shopping. I love the color of the cardigan, and I also like how it is flowy and loose fitting. I paired it with a simple white tank, you could also wear a black one if you wanted. Some nice boyfriend cropped light jeans, and a cute little white cross body bag. I think that wearing a shoe with a little heel really dresses up this look a little bit and makes it look very classy. 


Can I just say that I am obsessed with this outfit. I have been loving these one piece jumpers lately, sadly I don't really think I could pull it off... But I think they are just so cute and so stylish. I paired this with a gold chain necklace, which I have also been obsessed with lately. A little black bag, and some nice heels, with an ankle strap that also has a gold chain. SO cute!

I have also been loving skater/circle skirts lately. I think they are so cute, and I also think they look good on a lot of different body types. I am also really loving floral print lately so this skirt is just my fave. I paired it with a plain black three quarter length sleeve, scoop neck which would look perfect tucked in to the skirt. A simple necklace with a few spikes which I think would just lay really nicely on the shirt, a plain black bag and some black ballet flats. I think this outfit would be perfect for a romantic dinner, or just a night out with friends. Love this look!


I hope you all enjoyed some of my ideal spring outfits, let me know what you think of them down in the comments! I really enjoy putting these outfit ideas together for you guys, so please let me know if you would like me to do this more often. Because I would totally be down for that! 
Until next time,
XOXO

Spring 2014 Fashion Trends

Hello everybody! Today I wanted to talk about some of the hottest and wearable trends for spring and summer. One of the hottest trends this upcoming season is by far pastels! Pastel pants, pastel shirts, pastel sweaters, pastel everything! And I have to say, I am totally okay with this. I love pastels, I think they look good on pretty much everybody, especially all different types of skin tones. 

These first 3 pictures are from the DKNY Spring/Summer 2014 line. After going through a million different pictures of different runway shows, I have to say this one is by far my favorite. Especially the first 2 looks. I love the yellow reverse razorback tee under the pastel blue tank, so cute. Some other hot trends this spring and summer are boxy jackets, like the purple one in the last picture, and the slouchy pants in the middle with the athletic stripe down the side. I love love love these looks!



These 3 looks are from the Spring/Summer 2014 Burberry show. I love these soft and romantic looks. They are timeless looks, that look good on everyone. I love that they are textured with the lace and not just a plain fabric. Good job Burberry!



I hope you all enjoyed this post. If you have seen any cute trends for the upcoming seasons let me know down in the comments. Also let me know if you would like me to do makeup and hair trends for spring 2014.
Until next time,
XOXO

What I Got For My Birthday!

Hello everybody! Today I wanted to share with you everything that I got for my birthday. I first want to say that I am in no way shape or form trying to brag or show off, i'm just simply showing you all the wonderful things I received. I am so so so grateful for all my friends and family that bought me these wonderful gifts! 

So, as some of you may know already, I turned 21 on the 12th of this month. I unfortunately fractured my ankle so I spent my birthday on the couch! The one thing that sucks the most is that I can't really play with my makeup for awhile since i'm basically sentenced to the couch for six weeks. This year for my birthday I asked my husband for a vanity to store all of my makeup. Unfortunately I haven't gotten the chance to get to Ikea yet, but I will soon. There are a few things that my mom and grandma bought me that are still in the mail. My mom bought me a really really nice lighted mirror to go on my vanity, and my grandma bought me a bunch of acrylic drawers to sit on top of my vanity to put my makeup in. Okay enough talking, let's get on to the goods! Here we go.


The first few things I got are 3 different pallets. I finally got the Naked 3 pallet and I am so so so excited! It's my first Naked pallet and I can't wait to play with it. The next 2 are the Smashbox Fade to Black pallet which is really pretty shimmery neutrals, and then the Smashbox Soft Box which is all matte shades. I love these pallets and I can't wait to play with them! 


I have been eyeballing the Butter London nail polishes for awhile now, but I haven't brought myself to pay the $15 or however much they are. I got them in the shades Henley Regatta and come to bed red. Then I got the Mario Badescu Cucumber Cleansing Lotion. You use this with a cotton swab after you wash your face, like a toner. I'm not really huge on skincare products, but when I saw this bad boy floating around all over YouTube I decided I needed it. I also got 3 lip products; The NYX Buttergloss in Cherry Cheesecake. I loveeee this color. I think it will look so good for summer. Then I was on the Sephora website and found the Sephora Rouge lipsticks in Miss Madam and Unfaithful. I'm so excited to try all of these, I can't wait!

I have seen the Anastasia Beverly Hills brow products everywhere lately. They are one of the most popular brow products on the market, so I decided to give it a try. I got the Brow Wiz in Soft brown. It is a retractable pencil which I really like, and I also really like that it has a spooley on the other end of it. Then I got the Covergirl bombshell intensity liner, I have been wanting a new eye liner, and I saw this one in a few YouTube videos so I decided to get it. Then last but not least I wanted to include my birthday gift from Sephora. This year it is by Makeup For Ever instead of Benefit. It comes with a Lip stick and a Mascara. I'm excited to try it. 
                                     


So that is everything that I got for my birthday this year. I hope that you enjoyed reading this and maybe got some gift ideas for your friends and family or for yourself! If you want me to eventually do a review on any of these products mentioned above let me know and I will! Thanks for reading!
Until next time
XOXO

21 Things I've Learned in My 21 Years of Life

Today is the day my friends. It's my 21st birthday!! I've been waiting for this day to come for a very long time. Now being that I now live in Europe and can drink anywhere, it's not really that big of deal anymore. But, nevertheless it is still an important day!
I am going to share with you 21 things I have learned in my 21 years of life!
P.S Yes that is a picture of me when I was a baby. :)

1. Don't judge a book by its cover.
So many things in life whether it's people, places, or things we think we won't like judging by appearances. But that is far from the truth.

2. Be grateful for every opportunity thrown your way.
I have been given so many awesome opportunities, like living in Europe. I could't be more grateful for this experience. It has richened my life in so many ways.

3. Smile at strangers.
You never know when someone is having the crapiest of crap days, and giving them a quick little smile could really brighten up there day.

4. Be nice.
I don't have to explain on this one much. It's simple. Be nice to everyone.

5. Don't take things for granted.
You never know when everything you have will be gone, it could happen in an instant.

6. Have fun!
Laugh everyday, smile everyday, joke everyday, just have fun!

7. Be spontaneous.
Take little spontaneous trips to cool places. Even if it's just down the street, or a few hours away. Just do it!

8. You get what you give.
This applies to literally everything. Jobs, school, friends, relationships. Everything in your life.

9. Be patient.
This is one thing I am still working on. It is hard. It can be with even the simplest of things like waiting in line at a store or waiting for a package to arrive in the mail. Just be patient.

10. Be yourself.
There is no better version of yourself than you. Just be you! Even if you're weird, or nerdy. Embrace it!

11. Don't talk bad about yourself.
This is also one that is hard for me. Telling yourself that your fat, or overweight, or you wished you look like someone else. It's bad! Don't do it!

12. There is always two sides to every story.
This one is simple and self explanatory. Always remember it!

13. Don't regret anything.
You can't live in the past and wish you would've done this instead of that. It's done and over. Move on. No regrets.

14. Everything happens for a reason.
I am a firm believer of this.

15. Time is precious.
As you get older the years just seem to fly by. Live every second like it's your last.

16. Eyebrows are sisters, not twins.
You're eyebrows will never look identical. But that's okay because they're sisters!

17. Bargain shopping is the best.
The felling you get when you know you've saved money is awesome.

18. Don't be afraid to try new things.
Sometimes new things seem scary, but more than not they always turn out to be a good thing.

19. It's okay to not know what you want to do for the rest of your life.
I still don't... lol

20. It's better to have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
It doesn't matter how many friends you have, as long as you have a few best friends.

21. Love the life you live!
You only get one life, you better make it the best.

I hope you all enjoyed this and maybe you learned something. Let me know down in the comments some things you have learned throughout your life!
Until next time,
XOXO

Life Update

Hello everybody! I just wanted to give you all a little life update. I fractured my ankle on sunday morning. How you may ask... Well it is so ridiculous but I fell. Yup. Literally just fell. I fractured my right ankle, and there is a piece of my bone floating around down in there. So, to fix it I have to get surgery. I will be getting surgery on the 18th. After that  I will be in a cast like the one in the picture that I am in now for two weeks I think, and then after that I get a fiberglass cast, and then for the last two weeks I get a little walking boot. 

I'm not sure how I will be feeling in the next couple of weeks, but I am sure I will probably be posting a lot more frequently. Down below are a few pictures. The first one is my ankle while I was waiting in the ER at the hospital. You can tell it's super swollen. And the 2nd one is of me in my super cute fashionable cast.....

Now this is not ideal, I am actually quite mad that I have to go through this. It freaking sucks. Especially because my birthday is in 2 days. Oh well, I will be fine.





I love you all, and i'm so thankful that Everything Life has gotten to 24 followers! It's so exciting for me, and I can't wait to see what happens in the future.
Until next time,
XOXO

Valentines Day Outfit Ideas

Today I decided to give you guys 3 different outfit ideas for Valentines day. Valentines day is a day that can be celebrated by all! Even if you're single you can go out with girlfriends for a drink or go grab some dinner. I've chosen 3 outfits that I love, a fun and girly outfit, one that is a little bit more casual, and one that is dressy. Everything that is pictured is from H&M, and I choose H&M because it in an international store, and I have readers from all over! So let's get started. 


This first outfit is super fun and girly, and just adorable. The sweater is a little bit cropped, so I choose a cute high-waisted skater skirt which you can either choose to show a little tummy or pull it up so you're not exposed. The heels are just so cute, and go with the flirty, fun look. The bag is just a plain black faux leather bag. 
                                            

The next outfit is a more casual look, which would be perfect if you decide to go out with your girlfriends. The pants are faux leather skinny jeans, which are so in right now, and I love them. The for some color I choose this pink chiffon loose fitted top. I think it would look super cute if you tucked the front in just a little bit. Then I choose some suede ankle booties. I think these look really cute with skinny jeans. The bracelet is silver with a bunch of hearts with different designs in them, super cute and festive! The purse again is the same, faux leather black purse. 


This last look is more dressy, and perfect if you're going to a fancy restaurant. This dress is a gorgeous burgundy plum color. It is knee length, so not too short, very classy and elegant. The shoes I choose are black suede peep toe heels, very cute and classy. And then the purse it just a faux leather and faux snakeskin structured bag. As for jewelry, I couldn't really find anything I liked, so I would personally go with a very pretty statement necklace or wear my hair in some type of up-do or sock bun, with some gorgeous dangly earrings. 



I hope this gave you some ideas on what to wear for Valentines Day. This is one of the first posts I have done like this, so let me know what you think and if I should do some more! I hope you all enjoyed this, Until next time.
XOXO

Valentine's Day Gift Guide



Hello everybody! Today I wanted to help you out and give you a few gift ideas for that special man in your life on Valentine's Day! I wanted to share with you some things that I have gotten my husband in the past, and some things that I just think are a really good idea!

To me, some of the best gifts to give and receive are personalized and thoughtful. For example, handmade things weather if it's made by you or someone else. The best place for the best personalized gifts is hands down Etsy. You can seriously find anything and everything on their site. My favorite thing about this site is that you can choose to search things that are handmade by people, which is also a plus because I love supporting small businesses. All of these gifts are also budget friendly, and are less than $30. Okay enough talking, lets see the goods!

I got this for Trevor (my husband if you didn't know) last year, and I love it! I bought mine from the Etsy shop called Always a memory. I was extremely happy and totally satisfied with my order. The key chain turned out exactly how I wanted. In her shop you can see that she also makes things other than keychains like bracelets and necklaces. Trevor doesn't wear any type of jewelry except for his wedding ring so I of course opted for the keychain. I got in touch with the shop owner and she gave me a coupon code for you guys to get 10% off (does not include shipping). The code is : THANKYOU2014

As far as what writing to get on it, that's totally up to you. I think that if there is a saying or nickname or something personal that only your partner would know is the best. You could always find a cute quote about love, relationships, friendships, anything will work.

If your partner enjoys fishing and such this would be the perfect gift. This is a personalized fish hook from the Etsy shop CandTCustonLures. I think if you gave this as a gift to your husband or boyfriend they would just absolutely love it. It is so unique and so personalized, it would definitely be something that they would keep forever.

There are also a few DIY things that you could make that are just as special. I have made these both for Trevor, and he has loved them. The first thing I made for him was a calendar. The good thing about this is that you can take the pictures yourself. Well not really yourself but you don't have to hire a photographer to take them, since sometimes that can get a bit pricey. I had my best friend take the pictures for me. I had pictures of myself at the beach in my bathing suit and some were in sexy lingerie. If you don't feel comfortable with pictures like that you can always do pictures of you two on vacations or whatever you want. You can get these printed online and shipped to you for around $25 or less.

Another DIY gift you could make is a coupon book. All you would need it some writing utensils, card stock or just normal paper (I would recommend a thicker paper though), and some ribbon. You could write some favors that you could do like cleaning the house, giving kisses all day, or taking your partner out on a date. Get creative with it! When you're done writing them get a hole puncher and punch a hole in the top corner and put some ribbon through it, tie it, and there you go! A homemade coupon book.

I hope you all enjoyed these ideas, let me know if you decide to gift any of these things! I would love to hear what you are giving your partner for Valentine's day! I hope you all have a wonderful and special Valentine's day!
Until next time,
XOXO
