If you can't tell. . I have no sense of fashion : /

What is Shane Playing Tonight?!

Madden aggggaaaainnnnnn. 

And here you guys thought I was kidding about being a "Madden Widow".

Pfffft. ;)

Since moving down to Coos Bay and finally getting a grown  up job, I have been trying to spend more time working on myself, specifically getting ready in the morning and doing my makeup. But because I don't know anyone down here, I have pretty much had to rely on Youtube for advice and ideas, which isn't as bad as it sounds actually.I have found a few girls that I love and who do some pretty amazing tutorials for make up. (Especially the Vintage Or Tacky channel. . AMAZING.) 

Can I rock this?! And don't even get me
started on contouring. 

I have tried few out and found some looks that I love but then there are few that I am on the fence about. Unfortunately, I don't have anyone down here to serve to help pass judgement on how the look turns out. Shane, and I say this with as much as I can muster, kind of fails in this department. When I ask him about a certain look or outfit, he typically replies with a sweet but utterly unhelpful. " I think you are beautiful in whatever makes you feel good/no matter what." Trust me, it is definitely a self confidence boost but not what I am going for when I am trying to decide how I want to shape my eyebrows or trying out new eye shadow.

Right now,there are a few different looks that I have noticed are starting to pop up and I really would love to try them out but I have no idea if I can rock them! Or even how to rock them! If any of you guys out there have experience with some of the new fashion trends,(Specifically the dark lip colors!) advice would be greatly appreciated!!

What happens when Two Chainz wears three chains?!

MADDEN.

Get used to it folks, it is going to be a long ride. 

I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT TONIGHT'S POST.

Please forgive the lack of touch ups to the photos and my bright orange pajamas : )

  My lovely youngest sister was kind enough to get me a  $20 gift card to Joann's for my birthday and I finally made up my mind on what I wanted to do with it this weekend. ( And let me just say how hard it is to only spend twenty bucks in that place. Damn near impossible, especially when you have a Pinterest addication :) )

 

This one is one of my favorites. I found
her on that That Dank Wench. The fashion
on her page is AMAZING. Check her out!

   Lately, I have been really into the adorable head chains that are popping up all over Pinterest but I haven't seen them much in stores. . Mind you, I live in a town that the mall houses a major department store in an area slightly bigger than my apartment. I did my best to search online but so much of the summer fashion is floral and floral crowns, which are equally adorable but just not what I was looking for, and the ones that I did find were a bit on the spendy side. 

So after an hour of two of shopping and another hour on Pinterest, I decided that I was going to make my own. Weirdly enough, I didn't find too many tutorials for these on the internet but I figured that it couldn't be too hard and gave it shot!

This is how mine turned out!! I just got some simple chain from Joann's. (Thank you, Syd :D ) I friggen love them. I actually made two other ones but I couldn't find them when I was posting this. They were really easy to make and I like that they are so easy to customize. I already have ideas for a few more that I am going to make for myself and a few friends. A friend suggested that I post them on Etsy, what you guys think? Would any of you be interested in one if I listed a few?! Let me know!! I am thinking about posting a tutorial on how to make these bad boys sometime in the future too!

Love all of your stinkin faces : )
