I adore denim on denim it looks so great together and I believe that every girl should have a denim shirt, skirt, shorts and of course a good pair of denim jeans.This is a look that anyone can pull off whether your fat, skinny, short, tall, round, square it doesn't matter there is no discrimination in a good pair of denim. Just have fun with it, mix and match different denim and enjoy adding key statement pieces like shunpike gold jewelry, tons of pearls, big hoop earrings what ever floats your boat.

I like to keep it clean and basic but with a splash of gold. Gold earrings, watch, necklace, rings and on the tip of my shoes there is a trim of gold.

It all comes down to the way you want to jazz up the denim and with this look there is no right or wrong way to do it, its all about experimenting and having fun. So let your imagination run wild my denimites and have fun.

My Little Empties Haul.

Top Left - Shea Moisture Replenish Hair mask is my FAVORITE my hair loves this stuff, I' so hooked on this my hair feels moisturized and soft and delish.

I HATE the Keratin Replenish hair mask, I did not use it on my hair but I used it on my extensions and it was whack it did nothing at all to the hair but the Coconut Oil and Lime Peel hydration mask was AH-MAZING and I used it on my extensions and it feels so soft and it helps with the frizzes, both packs are $1.99 each.

The tiny green bottle is the Macadamia Oil Treatment and I love this product I've been eyeing it for awhile so instead of investing in the big bottle which retails for $28 I bout the trail size for $4but eventually I splurged and bout the big bottle.

Dry Bar Sake Bomb is a nice product but the Shea Moisture works a lot better on my natural hair a lot of people hate the smell but I love it, this line is a nice one but do I love it, not really.

CINEMA SECRETS is my everything I adore and love this instant brush cleaner, the brushes clean quickly and dries super fast, it has a vanilla scent but its not over powering. I bought the starter kit for $25 and it comes with a tin to pour the solution in and the cool thing is the tin has a twist on cap so no spillage and you can save the liquid for another use. I LOVEEEEEEE this product so much that I bough the big bottle 36oz for $36, great buy.

Origins face scrub its okay I could wait to finish it so that i could try something different great price $20 but it aint all that. NEXT...

Bottom right - Boscia Girl On The Fly great product $15 come with a 4 step facial system, Cleanser, hydration, sleeping mask and charcoal mask I tried this when I went on a little vacay and it came in handy, so yes I will repurchase.

Skipping over the Dry Bar....

Sephora travel size brush cleaner $8 also a great product cleaned my brushes really well and its great to travel with.

Urban Decay Bang blush bright red awesome for using as an eyeshadow have yet to try it but I loved the color and I've been wanting it so I bought it $20-$25

M.A.C refill eyeshadows in concrete and a forest green I love mac eyeshadows goes on smooth, minimal fall out and the colors are amazing $10 each.

By the title of this post your probably wondering WHAT THE Hell is she talking about, well ladies and gents it is the ABH Anastasia Beverly Hills Cream Contour Palette its $40 and worth every single dollar.

If I was a vlogger the excitement would be unreal cause I would be screaming and acting like the guy from the Patti Labelle pie videos. ---> link below (its funny as hell check it out) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQRwFn7WPk8

I have heard amazing things about this contour palette by Anastasia Beverly Hills and of course I had to get my hands on one. I bought the deep palette and I love it, its a cream contour, the top three shades are for highlighting and the bottom three are for contouring. I noticed that when I applied the highlighter shade to my face it shimmered a bit and when I blended it out it was so smooth and effortlessly. Love it!!! Since I took the contouring class at SephoraI have been hooked on contouring my face, i love the way it looks, it enhances the face ands depth and dimension it everythang.

The great thing about this kit is you can order refills for $12 which is not bad at all, their are a lot of contour palettes out there Kat Von D, Coverfx, Kevyn Aucoin, Makeup Forever, Laura Mercier and Smashbox.

I love the Kat Von D especially when I want to go with that matte zombie effect, the Anastasia give me that bright well defined look. The next one that I want to purchase is the Coverfx in N-Deep, I've heard really good things about it and I've watched it on my hand several times and truthfully the golden highlight in the coverfx palette is ah-mazing, it runs for $48 pricier than the Anastasia but the same price as the KVD palette.

I was on the fence about this dress for two reason 1) Another black piece to add to my wardrobe and 2). I was attracted to the white dress but my size was nowhere to be found. Everyone thinks that big girls only like to wear black clothes because its slimming, we love wearing leggings because its black, spandex and comfortable.

Oh, lets not forget the oversized tees with the aloha bear plastered on the front, now thats a complete big girls outfit as a matter of fact its our go to outfit, now that maybe true for some big girls who are hiding themselves or ashamed of their bodies and have no kind of confidence at all, but the big girls of this era don't have time for that fuckery we love color, brights, nudes, burgundy, red, pink, purple all shades of colors actually, except for those damn pastels I'll pass on that one thank you very much.

I picked this dress up four times and put it back three times, the fourth and final time I said to myself that if I can't make up my mind by the time I reach the cashier Im not going to get it, I walked around in circles until I reached the long checkout line. When I heard I'll take the next person in line I knew I was screwed cause I was still confused and lonely so I reached out for help and the sweet lady was of no use cause she had no answer or justification why I should or should not buy this dress with the whack ass saying "You Are What You Wear".

Am I what I wear is what I asked the cashier as she smirked and gazed at me like a deer in headlights. Again i asked lady  Am I what I wear, do you give two fucks what i wear and her response was... "Ummmmmm " with shoulders shrugged, the cashier next to her with these amazing bushy eyebrows chuckled, then I said okay Ill put it on hold and just when I was about to fill out the hold take it came to me just buy the damn dress and leave, so I did and now I am here with a receipt that says EXCHANGES OR STORE CREDIT ONLY, NO REFUNDS. What the hell, I guess I am What I Wear and some what screwed if I wanted to get my money back.

Who doesn't love playing in makeup? If I was ever asked that question my response would be how could you not love playing and experimenting with makeup. To me makeup is another way of creating, an artistic form, self expression, showing the world your creativity and giving zero fucks  about what the naysayers are thinking about your style.

I love makeup, I love creating and trying new looks on myself, and nope I'm not a makeup artist I just love playing in it. I mean seriously its a lot of fun and the best part is seeing everything come together. So because I do not vlog at the moment ( trying to get myself to actually start and quit being a pussy about it) I decided to show you guys all the products I used to create this look. Some of the items listed below are not pictured, sorry but I did list everything that I used.

*Side Note* I've been playing in my mother's makeup since I was a little girl. You see this gorgeous woman standing in front of the mirror smelling of a sweet scented fragrance hair pinned and tucked in the right position and on the counter is a bag full of lipstick, mascara, pencils (lip & eye) a compact filled with colorful powder, tons of makeup brushes, q-tips and wipes the list goes on but all you are trying to do is recreate the look that your mother is creating in that well lit mirror but you end up looking like a disaster, but in your mothers eyes you look like a masterpiece. Just wanted to take you on a little trip down memory lane.
