It's a Curls World

by kaystyles 2:27 PM

HAPPY SUNDAY SUNSHINES!!

How are we all?! As always hoping the answer to that is fantastic! Although tomorrow means going back to work or school in some places, today, just like every other day is a great day to have a great day (see what I did there). I went to the city today just out to a little brunch with my family and since I had not done an OOTD in a while I decided to take some pictures before we had left.

I was so excited to take pictures since I hadn't in while (like I just stated) I pulled out some red lipstick! Ugh, even getting dressed up a bit put me in such a good mood. Volleyball has officially started and that takes up most of my mornings so usually once I get home I shower and take a nap or work out some more. If I'm not doing either of those things, then I'm probably in someone's pool.

Slowly, but surely, the cold nights are starting to catch up and if you know me, fall is my favorite season! Layering up and not having to be in shorts all the time is something I love most! Plus that means more outfits to put up on the blog for you all to see!

Today, however, I decided to take out the shorts (these are actually not normal shorts, they are supposed to be high waisted) but as in previous posts ago I told you guys about "the new length" and having those boyfriend shorts. I pulled these down a bit and BOOM my own pair of 'the new length'... You guys should give it a try and tell me how it goes!

Black tank top: American Apparel

Yellow Blazer: Christian Dior

Shorts: Levi's

Shoes: Madden Girl

Bag: Forever 21

Don't forget to check out the post below this one and tell me what you guys think! Make sure to comment on it, it would mean a lot! Thank you guys!

I'm just kidding; I'm currently watching the show and I'm addicted... Love you all!

Lessons Learned

by kaystyles 6:31 PM

Hello wonderful people! How have we all been?! I hope the answer to that is fabulous because I have some good news for my ladies! Well... and gents you can listen up too if you'd like:

I have decided that my blog shouldn't just be about clothing and who is big in the fashion world. I want to share some advice either from lessons that I have learned about life to even beauty tips/beauty hacks! I like to have interactions with you guys and learn from you as well!

So just as a starter, I'd like to share with you ladies some beauty tips on how long you should be having your makeup! I ended up doing some research on this topic because I had a mascara for a while and it was starting to dry up. (I'm no makeup artist, but a girl got worried!) It felt like I had just bought it so I searched up how long you should have a mascara for and the result of it was 3 months. When I searched that, this picture had come up and it really made me look at my makeup bag and see what was still good and what was not. I didn't have to do that much shopping for new supplies, but I did learn from it!

I hope this helps you guys out and helps you be more organized with your makeup bag. You should treat it the way it treats you because on those bad mornings, these are the supplies that help you out!

If you want to share some good brands to buy makeup from or any beauty tips/ questions I would love to make a post or maybe even a video answering all of your questions! You may all comment below and to do so just click on add comment and where it says "comment as" click the box to the right and go all the way down to where it says anonymous! Lastly click on publish! I hope to get some comments and or feedback on this!

Love you all! Xoxoxo

American Rag Forever 21 Zara

Black&White

by kaystyles 7:10 AM

Happy Thursday everyone! Hope everyone's week has been going by great! Last night I went to dinner for my best friends birthday at Grand Lux Cafe in Garden State Plaza! The place was beautiful as well as the food!

Quick little shout out to them: Gabby and Daniela, I hope you guys had a fantastic birthday and thank you for being there for me fully! I love you guys so much and so glad I got to spend time with you both last night! Lots of kisses!

Now before this blog post begins to sound like a diary entry, let's get back to my outfit:

I had on this black and white squared designed top from Forever 21 and this skort inspired from Zara! My shoes are from Macy's, but the designer is American Rag.

These shoes are probably the most comfortable heels I have ever worn! Cute little secret is that the strap is actually velcrow instead of a belt strap! I could probably play a whole soccer game in them because they are just so perfectly fitting!

I hope you all enjoyed this blog post as much as I had fun taking the pictures! Love you all!

(We are almost at 10k page views! AHHH)

Lots of love and kisses to you all! Thank you so much for all of the support!

Chloe Mortez fashion Valentino macramé

Chole Grace Moretz

by kaystyles 4:49 AM

I've been waiting to make a blog post about Chole Mortez for such a long time now and I am SO excited to share with you guys the love I truly have for her!

First, I would like to start off by giving her a HUGE congratulations on winning Fan Favorite Female Actress Award two nights ago (July 27th) at the Young Hollywood Actress Awards which was held in Los Angeles, California at The Wiltern!

Secondly, can we all just take a moment to admire how beautiful she looked!? The young star wore a Valentino macramé lace dress in several shades of red which was beautifully accented with a pointy collar from the Shanghai collection.

Her whole look evokes playful elegance, styled effortlessly with a bold red lip and black T-bar Christian Louboutin ‘Belly Nodo’ sandals. The red lips with the red dress can be so tricky to pull off, but of course Chloe did it and she totally rocked it!

As a actress, person, and entertainer, Chloe Grace Mortez is one to watch out for, I give her a big round of applause! She is truly blossoming into a young lady and I could not tell you how much I would love to follow her footsteps!

Brandy Melville Cotton On fashion Forever 21 H&M money savings style

Matchy Matchy

What type of shopper are you?

I know I have a really bad habit of seeing something I like and wanting to buy it right there and then, but I am working on it! I have noticed that some of the stores are getting very repetitive with having the same styles of clothing. I mean of course, it's competition between stores, but that's something smart buyers have to start realizing. A top that you may see in one store may be $20 in another rather than $35 from the original top. That is $15 you can save to buy yourself a whole different top! Instead of just buying one, you can get two tops for the price of one just because you decided to look around another store!

This post isnt about trash talking stores or picking favorites because trust me, I have had my slips too with buying the more expensive top rather than saving that money. This is about helping you guys look for better and affordable ways to look the way you want to without having to make your wallet cry! (Although, you should always spoil yourself once in a while).

This dress, for example is $35 at Brandy Melville

While this dress is $19.80 at Forever 21

That's $15 and some change in your pocket!

These Indian drapey pants from Cotton On are $10.00

Compared to these pants that are $17.95 from H&M

So my point once again, is to show you guys how you can save so much money by just looking around other stores instead of just grabbing and go! Walk around the mall or outlets or wherever you shop and just compare prices because you can always go back if you can not seem to get the item that is most expensive out of your mind! This is not so much of a trick, it's just having options and since I'm trying my best to help myself, I just wanted to help you guys out as well and share my story since that is what my blog is all about!

I hope you guys are having a very laid back or at least enjoying your Sunday to get started for another week to your beautiful lives and learned something new!

Life is a work in progress...
