best sweater for messy dinners

I fell in love with this Walmart mixed knit sweater a few weeks ago
& couldn't wait to wear it!





 What I Wore: glasses- c/o Firmoo, lips- Ciate Liquid Velvet in "Pin Up" via Ipsy, sweater & pants- Walmart, flats- UrbanOg {I think}




Loving my googly eye Kate Spade watch Valentine's Day gift from my hubby,
hope you aren't tired of seeing her because I am not!

We went out to dinner at Dolsot House in Cherry Hill, NJ
 {yes again!}
I think this is a new addiction starting...

I love all the side dishes that you get to try while waiting for your meals:

We pretty much ordered the same stuff as last time,
the Seafood Japchae is just so good!
This time we also tried the Dduk Bok Ki rice cakes and OMG.
They were even better the next day and I have been craving them every day since!

We checked out a new-to-us Asian grocery store on the way home
& I saw these adorable kitty plates!

I decided on this one since it looks the most like Arnold <3

Good thing this knit is multicolored, because I ended up adding some Korean food to my outfit
and you can't even tell!

Whoa Wait Walmart {& I have been patiently waiting!}

{Source: Walmart}

When I first saw that Whoa Wait Walmart was creating a collection at Walmart,
I was BEYOND excited!
See their launch story HERE

A post shared by Whoa, wait. Walmart? (@whoawaitwalmart) on

I absolutely love how Lovely Amy Style styled
the WHOA WAIT Hi-lo Slip Dress in the floral print
and I knew I had to make one mine!
Seriously so cute!
{Source: Lovely Amy Style Instagram}

These are the pieces that I picked up:
Top: WHOA WAIT Cowl Neck Cardigan with Fringe in Black, Pink, & Olive
Middle: WHOA WAIT Destructed Skinny Jeans in Olive, Pink, & White
Bottom: WHOA WAIT Mock Neck Lace Swing Blouse in Black & Pink /
WHOA WAIT Hi-lo Slip Dress in the floral print

I made a declaration recently with my stance against cold shoulder tops.
& I stand by it, I just don't really like them,
but Whoa Wait Walmart made that more difficult with these cute tops and dresses,
especially that black floral one!
Tops: WHOA WAIT Cold Shoulder Blouse with Crochet Lace
Dress: WHOA WAIT Cold Shoulder Gauze Dress with Embellished Neckline

My gateway purchase from this collection was the
WHOA WAIT Cowl Neck Cardigan with Fringe,
I wanted to see how the sizing would work and the quality of the collection.
& needless to say {judging by the next order of all of the items discussed above}
I love it.





What I Wore: glasses- Zenni Optical, lips- elf "Rich Red", necklace- Kendra Scott {gift from hubby},  sweater- Whoa Wait Walmart, tank {under}- Walmart, pants- Old Navy, flats- ASOS {thrifted in NYC}



Loving my Kate Spade Valentine's Day watch that my hubby gave me!


Whoa, wait was totally worth the wait,
what I can't wait for is mix matching all of these items!

Whoa Wait Walmart on Instagram is a must follow,
they post THE BEST finds at Walmart,
I love these booties they recently posted,
I will have to check them out IRL real soon!
{Source: Whoa Wait Walmart on Instagram}

Not going to lie,
I am still thinking about adding the WHOA WAIT Everyday Layers Cargo Vest in "Eclipse"
to my collection!
Whoops, just did....

#sorrynotsorry

Congrats Whoa Wait Walmart ladies, amazing job!

Humble Beauty Opinion #39

I loved this journal that I found at Target,
seriously considered getting it since I write these Humble Beauty Opinion posts every month:

So here is what I would be writing about in my Humble Beauty Opinion Journal this month:

I finally caved and got the Shaanxo Pallete from BH Cosmetics,
I have been interested in it since it released, but honestly I've been backed up in my YouTube queue, and finally watched her swatch video and decided it was time to give it a try!

It is nice, I need more time to play with it but it is a great travel palette,
especially for me with that duo chrome red shade because you know,
that is my fave!

I have a major collection of these types of shades,
see them in my September 2016 Humble Beauty Opinion post!
 {P.S. This Kate Spade watch that my hubby got me for Valentine's Day is the best!}

Movin' Swatches:


When KL Polish announced that they did a restock I knew it was time!
I wanted wanted these since they released and was sad when I didn't initially pull the trigger 
and they sold out for months!
{Source: KL Polish on Instagram}

I specially had these three shades {Caramello, Brick Sidewalk, and Zoey}  in mind
and apparently I am not the only one:

THEN they announced a limited edition shade aptly named "Das Esspensive"
for Kathleen Light's birthday!
So it was definitely time to do this.

This collection is so beautiful!
{Source: KL Polish on Instagram}


They arrived yesterday and are even prettier in person!


ESPECAILLY Das Esspensive, man is this a beautiful glitter polish!
Can't wait to wear them all!
{On my nails now: Essie "Angora Cardi}

Another very exciting makeup adventure this month was my little shopping spree
from my NYC 3 day trip for FIT Orientation!
{See recaps here: Day 1, Day 2, Day 3}
From my NYC trip:
I finally got Bite Beauty "Kale", found a green liner from Jessie's Girl
& Wet & Wild Pop Coloricon gloss in "Lilac Theater" at Rite Aid,
and L.A. Girl Pro bb cream- this stuff is GREAT! Totally worth the $5 price point!

I found the Wet n Wild "Catsuit" liquid lipsticks that I have been looking for everywhere!
I picked up: "Nudie Patootie", "Rebel Rose", "Berry Recognize"
& the liner "Bare to Comment"
I need more time will all of them but I have been wearing the liner a lot and loving it.

Ulta sent a $5 off $10 for Valentine's Day
and I knew I had to take advantage of this sales promotion
{look at that marketing speak coming out from my fashion classes}
I picked up: NYX Lip Lingerie in "Scandalous", Essence "Cool Nude" lipstick and nail art tool,
I have been loving this for fixing around the cuticles.

My Hello Kitty x ColourPop order arrived {I got "Bento Box & "School Bus"}
and I am in love + I got another "Milli" single shadow for free!
They are now 20% off, get them before they are gone!

Hello Pretty is right!

This month's Ipsy bag was awesome too!
I love Trust Fund Beauty, although the shade is not my favorite, these formulas are amazing.
My favorite product this month, surprisingly,
was the Promise Organic Nourishing Coconut Milk exfoliator.
It leave my skin feeling so soft and clean. I really like it.
The NYX lipstick in "Life Guard" is such a good red too!
Killin' it Ipsy!

This month's Sephora Play has been lots of fun too!
I love the Bite Beauty One Stick in "Cashew", I have been using it many ways
and I am especially loving it as an eyeshadow, its beautiful!
The Tarte lip gloss in "Milkshake" is nice but man does it tingle!
Overall I am loving Sephora Play so far!

Time for this month's wishlish:

Colourpop put out more single shadows and they look so pretty!
I have been loving the ones I got last month!

I am so in love with this Loreal Beauty and the Beast collection that I saw on Clevver's Facebook.
I am not even a huge Beauty and the Beast or Disney fan but the packaging is totally amazing.
See for yourself:

But apparently this collection is only available for Italian Amazon customers,
but whyyyyyy I need these shades in my life, how pretty would they be all lined up?!

Finally an inside look at the Too Faced Peanut Butter x Honey palette,
I am interested in this, mainly for the Honey Bun shade:
{Source: Budget Beauty Guru on Instagram}

But it seems to be pretty similar to ColourPop "Paper Tiger",
so apparently I just love yellow eyeshadow?

This month's empties:
Bath Empties, from left to right in a circular pattern inwards: Tom's Deodorant- I'm sorry but I don't think this stuff works at all, this one is also expired now so good excuse to get rid of it / Dove Dry Shampoo- I heard such good stuff about this but it leaves such a white cast, weird smell and I don't like it / Rustic Lakehouse & Coastal Woods candles from Walmart- LOVE these, great price, great scents / Wood Craft candles from the dollar store- love these crackling candles, for $1 can't be beat {well maybe with the 90 cent candles from Primark...} / Garnier Nurtiesse Ultra Color in "Deepest Intense Burgundy"- great hair color and seems to be lasting really long this time, loving it! / Pears transparent soap- LOVE this, I also get this from the dollar store and it is a favorite! / US Favorite Bird's Nest Mask- I got this from an Asian grocery store and it is not a fave, it kinda burns and not in a good way / Celavi Cucumber mask- I got this from H-Mart and these are my favorites, for a little over $1 they are such a nice little treat! Picked up even more yesterday! / St. Ives Apricot Scrub- an all time favorite. Gets my skin clean and especially helps when my skin gets dry / Luseta Argan Oil Air Mask- this stuff was really nice and lasted a long time / Thann Aromatherapy Shampoo- love this scent, these are the last two that I had stockpiled / Dove Shampoo- I like this, I really like the oxygen one / Dove "dryioil moisture" body wash- I liked this too, the scent is nice / BWC facial cleanser- I thought this was okay, not anything amazing / honest face + body lotion- this was also just okay, I have not been blown away by any of the honest products I've tried / Avene micellar- this was okay, I used it like a toner and it seemed to do an okay job, wouldn't purchase the full size

Beauty & Candles: Summer's Eve Cleansing Cloths- LOVE these, a must! / elf kabuki small brush- I loved this but it started falling apart, I repurchased but it doesn't seem to be as good =( / Vaseline Intensive Care lotion- I really like this, moisturizing and lightweight / Tory Burch "love relentlessly" perfume from last month's Sephora Play, I enjoyed this but not in the market for a new perfume / Apple Orchard candle from the dollar store- love this for $1, going to reuse that cute jar too! / Rustic Lakehouse- another empty one from Walmart and it is a good one! / Sandlewood candle from Primark- LOVE this scent and these candles are so cheap! / Pine Forest candle from Marshalls- a great scent for the holidays! / Loreal Voluminous Original mascara- I did not like this, it was clumpy and flaky, it hit a good point a few weeks into using it but then it dried out shortly after / elf Precicion liquid eyeliner- I hated this at first, it was flaky and didn't last but started to enjoy it later, the other elf liquid liners are better though (the more triangle shaped bottles) /

A great month for makeup!

What have you been loving this month?
Do you live in Italy and feel like sending me the Loreal x Beauty and the Beast collection?*
