Arcade Fire The Suburbs: Deluxe Edition

Now The Suburbs has been probably my favorite album for the last year or so. I am utterly and completely in love with it. Now when I found out that there was a deluxe version of this album coming out I pretty much just freaked out. With the deluxe version comes two bonus tracks that I have been playing on repeat fro the last couple of days.

Culture War is probably the one I like a tiny bit better but really I love em both! Speaking in Tongue is just as wonderful as Culture War. Well and I hope you all enjoy these as much as I have and usual I shall be leaving the Youtube links below:

Summer Picks at Forever 21


Hey Guys,

Now I rarely write about anything fashion related so I thought this would be the perfect time to after all summer/spring is here. Where I live we have been having a lot of rain which is not necessarily a bad thing but it does make your day gloomy. Considering it is still spring some of my choices are more for a stormy day.

Now to make this simple all the item I picked are from www.forever21.com . I personally love the website and they usually have deals in which if you spend over $50 then you will get free shipping.

So lets get this started!

Now the first shirt is black, white and darker gray. I love this shirt and its something you could buy for summer and continue wearing it all year round so you know your money isn't going to waste. Now this shirt introduces one of this summers biggest trends which is color blocking. Now I am definitely too afraid to go for a full on color block effect (wearing all bright things isn't for me!) so this shirt helps as it is a more tone downed version of color blocking but is still fresh and trendy.

Now underneath we have the Gladiator or Cage sandal. These sandals are perfect for summer and can really spice up and outfit. Just pop on your favorite hot pink nail polish and your feet will look perfect with a pair of these shoes. They can go with any attire, casual or dressy and they can be worn with shorts,skirts,dresses and jeans!

Now next to these we have the floral dress, now floral prints are really in this season and they don't generally have to be worn on a dress , if dresses are not for you then try finding them in a tank form or even a cardigan. There is no way to be more summery then to have a floral print stamped on to your summer attire. I love the one above as it isn't to over done and is black .. l love black. It would definitely look great with some gladiators as well.

The next shirt is one of my favorites now if floral isn't for you then I would definitely try something with an Aztec print. Aztec prints are something that you will definitely be seeing more of. In fact these prints are one of my favorites. The shirt is perfect for a summer warm day as the material is sheer and light!

The jeans above are perfect for a rainy or stormy day and they are only 12.50! Can't beat that! Can you? I love em.. especially if you ruin your jeans as quickly as I do. Perfect for those coffee dates with friends on gloomy days.

Jewellery is one of my favorite things about my outfit, the leaf ring above is great for adding jazz to an outfit, I love the pattern and how it covers half your finger. Statement Jewellery is my love and a simple enough but unique piece like this will amp up your outfit.

Well that is all for my summer picks for now, I hope you all enjoyed this post! Its my first time for one of these but I liked writing this out so lets hope I do more of these!

The Pains of Being Pure At Heart -Heart In Your Heartbreak

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart – Heart in your Heartbreak

All I can say is that I love this song! It’s one of those songs that totally just hits the spot. The lyrics are enticing as hell! No description can truly justify how awesome this song is, the lyrics speak volumes and can truly be relatable to anyone. One of the best things about a song is feeling the emotion of the song and the artist and I believe this song captures that entity really well.

I present you with the youtube link and I’m sure it will end up not working so feel free to give it a search on youtube or Google as there is plenty of mp3s for this song laying around and it will not disappoint.

Brandon Flowers - Only The Young

Time for a late night blog post!

This song has been stuck in my head for the last two months and it grants me the same captivation from when I had first heard it. I feel like the lesson from this song is something that everyone can relate with. To me this song says make due with what has happened in the past and don't let the past make your future and to break away from it and guide your self into the sun ( definitely easier said then done) and redeem yourself to who you want to be.

Overall just a wonderful meaning to a wonderful song, now enough rambling!

Here is the the song and the music video:





I love it and I hope you enjoy it too!

mark. Eye Shadows

Mark is a make up brand that is part of Avon, I have been using Avon for many years and have enjoyed many of their products especially there moisture therapy line and you get a good bang for your buck. Lately I have been attracted to many mark products and I picked up a bunch of eye shadows which I will be reviewing for you in this blog post.

So lets start of with the quality of the shadows, considering the shadows retail for about $6 each however you can always catch them on sale. The quality is pretty good and I was actually quiet surprised at how pigmented they were and how well they blended out and the siz of each shadow is pretty big. I would definetley recommend these eye shadows and will be purchasing or of them in the future.

So I have 8 eye shadows and I also purchases the mark eyeshadow palette so it would be easier to store them.

Picture of these lovely eye shadows:



Starting from left to right in the first row:

Whisper, Corset, Heavenly, Tiki

Left to Right in the Second Row:

Minx, Gioia, Java, Night Owl

Top two: Whisper and Corset
Bottom two: Minx and Gioia
Top two : Heavenly and Tiki
Bottom two: Java and Night Owl

Left to right: Night Owl, Tiki, Java, Heavenly, Gioia, Corset, Minx and Whisper

Sorry about the horrible swatches, they are blended out! The pigmentation is great for the price however I was a bit disappointed in Heavenly because it barely gives off any color at all, I have yet to try it on top of a base as I rarely wear colored shadows.

Hope this was helpful!
Thanks for reading!

Follow!

I have decided to re-add the follow side bar! I took it down a few months ago cause no one was following and I just assumed that no one was reading. I decided I would like to be more involved with my blog so I added it back in hopes of at least gaining one follower.On that note, I would greatly appreciate if you followed my blog, it truly would make my day but not pressure.

=)
Thanks for visiting and have a Lovely Day!

Revlon Nail Polish Haul

Recently I came across an amazing sale on Revlon nail polishes! I couldn't resist and had to pick up a few or so, for myself. I love all 4 colors that I got! I found some that had a thinner formula which I have realized in my other Revlon nail polishes and some have a semi -thick formula. The colors which I picked up are :

Minted - Minted is a pastel mint green, the formula is on the thinner side and requires about 2-3 coats to get opaque coverage on your nails. I really like this color its a good alternative to some of the higher priced mint nail polishes.

Silver Screen - When I initially purchased Silver Screen I though it would be more of a metallic light lilac purple, that was until I read the name and realized its just meant to be silver. With that said I still see hints of lilac in the bottle but when I applied it on my nails its just silver no lilac what so ever. But its a really nice silver and I have been looking for a good silver polish for quiet some time so needless to say I am quiet happy with this purchase!

Midnight Affair - Midnight Affair is a really pretty navy blue. I have also been looking for a nice navy nail polish and this one fits the bill. I wouldn't say its anything spectacular but it is still nice and I will be wearing it especially in this cold gloomy weather.

Blackest Black - This nail polish is actually quiet unique, you may be thinking oh another black nail polish what could possibly be different? But before you skip this polish, I would like to say that I find this black quiet unique! It is a creamy black but has a bunch of blue sparkles, the blue sparkles are not very noticeable but noticeable enough. They add a nice little touch to the generic black nail polish!

Time for some pics, please excuse my rushed and hastily applied nail polish application:
