It's been a minute since I posted an outfit post and I think it was due time. The weather in Socal has been a bit weird, really hot one minute, overcast and moody the next. But I can assure you, the heat is certainly coming! Summer is around the corner and you can tell by the big bites on my legs, URGH! I swear bugs are attracted to me so much more than anyone I know. Lately, I've tried to take advantage of being on summer vacay, which basically means I've been eating NONSTOP. Tis' the life. Be prepared to see a lot of updates on food hah.

Adore Me Review

Adore Me Allie Lingerie Set

The lovely people at Adore Me contacted me awhile back asking if I was interested in reviewing one of their pieces. Adore Me is a lingerie company and website that works similar to companies who give their customers a consultation through a quick style quiz to match their customers with the perfect lingerie pieces. Each month you get a new collection to choose from and each lingerie set is $39.95. 

In the beginning I was a bit iffy about trying this out, specifically because I'm not a lingerie type of girl. I'm all comfort when it comes to under garments, but I do love pretty things! Being a college student, I don't necessarily have the means to buy lingerie on a regular basis. $40 can be considerably cheaper than other products in lingerie stores. Here are some of my thoughts on the product.

Pro:

• Quick delivery
• Lots of choices
• I love the design of the piece I chose
• Team is very responsive to inquiries
• You are not contractually tied to buying something every month, just whenever you feel like it. 

Con:

• Quality is not as good as I would like it to be
• Sizing is a bit off. The bottoms were very loose on me, so I would not necessarily recommend this to petites. 
• The box it came with was not as sturdy and I would have liked and it got squished in the mail, and so did my pieces.

Hi All! If you follow me on Twitter then, you have already heard the big news!

Starting today I am officially a contributor to NSMBL, an online magazine that seeks to inspire women all over the world through articles about fashion, art, food, and everything in between. I was contacted by Anna Nooshin, the cofounder, a couple weeks ago about possibly contributing to this amazing magazine and I thought it was a perfect opportunity to show photos of my life as well as share my art inspirations from female artists. I hope you will join me as I go on this amazing adventure!

Anjolee Review: Eternity Ring

A couple weeks ago, Anjolee Jewelry contacted me about reviewing one of their pieces. Of course, I said yes and chose an eternity ring with garnet and cubic zirconia gemstones. I was quite impressed by the packaging as it came with a wooden mahogany box. The ring itself is quite elegant and simplistic. The perfect ring to wear for the every day outfit or a classic LBD.

One of the special things about Anjolee is that they allow, and even encourage, customization! The amount of variations for one piece are endless. I would definitely recommend this for petites, like myself, who have a hard time finding bracelets or rings for their tiny fingers and wrists. The price is a bit steep for student, but if I had the money I would invest in some amazing pieces. It'll be on my bucket list in the future. If you have the means and are interested, the response and production time for each piece is ridiculously fast. They respond to inquiries in a timely manner and are so helpful! This piece is definitely my new favorite. 

As you can see by my photos, the outcome is beautiful. 

They also customize anniversary rings for women, bridal set ring, and tennis necklace if you want more options.
