Summer Favorites 2013

Farewell Summer, hello Fall! 

Here's a quick recap of all my summer favorites from muscle tees to midi rings.

1 - e.l.f. liquid eyeliner 
I picked this up for $1 at Target and it's amazing for the price. It lasts all day for me and compliments the rest of my makeup.

2 - Maybelline Cover Stick Correcter Concealer
I purchased this on a whim because I just wasn't satisfied with my usual concealer. Turns out it's a much better product than the one I was using. It blends beautifully, gives great coverage, and looks natural.

3 - Midi Rings
I stumbled on the mini ring trend while surfing through pictures on Pinterest. The next time I went to Forever21 I bought a set of two and have been wearing them nonstop. I think they're so unique and feminine.

4 - Boston Alex and Ani Bracelet
I saw this bracelet on my friend and wanted so bad. I finally stopped in the Newbury Street Alex and Ani store and bought one. I wear it everyday.

5 - Forever21 Jeans
The cheapest pair of jeans I own have become my favorite. The color doesn't fade and they fit me like a glove. Need help finding the right pair of jeans for your body? Click here.

6 - Denim Vests
I talk about my love for denim jackets a lot here on Freshmen Fashion. I was having a hard time giving them up for the hot weather so I marched into H&M and bought a denim vest on sale for $15! What a steal!

7 - French Manicures
I like the way nail designs look but I'm horrible at doing them on my nails. Turns out French manicures are something I can handle. I use these awesome nail guides I found at Walmart.

8 - Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick - Kate Moss Collection
I like adding a pop of color to black and white outfits. My favorite red lipstick is by the Kate Moss Collection from Rimmel. It's smooth, matte, and long wearing.

9 - Muscle Tanks
Muscle tanks are my favorite because they're easy to throw on, casual, and comfortable.

Happy Fall!

Find Your Signature Piece of Jewelry

Everyone should have that one piece of jewelry that says who they are. Having trouble finding your signature piece? No worries, I scoured through my jewelry collection and created a guide to help find great personal jewelry for everyone. 

Enjoy!

Preppy: 

Jewelry pieces with a nautical theme, such as anchors, will add a preppy touch to any look. 

Pearls are always a must-have for this style, a longer strand is more modern.

Feminine:

Adding some jewelry with bows, roses, and heart details is a great way to make your look a bit more girlie and cutesy.

A Vintage Vibe:

Pearl details, antique looking chains, and ornate details all make for a vintage look.

Fabulous (Iridescent) Find of the Week

Iridescent Oblong Ring from Forever21

This week's fabulous find is from Forever21. A few months ago I talked about this sparkling statement ring in a post about glittery jewelry. I originally saw this gorgeous ring on Forever21's website but did not buy it. Then while I was shopping at the mall the other day I found it in the store and bought it for only $3.80! This ring pairs nicely with a lot more than you might think. I've already worn it twice since I bought it two days ago. You can purchase this ring in size 6, 7, or 8 and in two colors, pink or ivory right here. 

XO,

My Love for Cocktail Rings

I have talked about my love for a good cocktail ring many times on this blog. In fact, one of my very first posts was about rings (http://freshmenfashion.blogspot.com/2012/06/statement-rings.html)! One thing that I am really proud of is my incredibly large ring collection. I have one for almost every occaision. A great ring can add a perfect touch of glam to any outfit. Here are a few favorites of mine that I wear all the time.

 

Small Crystal Ring: Walmart (Can you believe it?)

 Claddagh Ring: Local Jewelry Store

 

Two-finger Key Ring: forever21

Claddagh Ring: Local Jewelry Store

 



Bow Ring: forever21

 



Rhinestone Band: forever21

Small Bow Ring: forever21

Mother of Pearl Ring: Artisan Made

 

As you can see a good majority of my favorite rings come from forever21. That is because their jewelry is very trendy and also very inexpensive. It's a good store to go to when you want  to try out a trend with out spending lots of cash. The accessories are usually of good quality for the price and always cute and chic. What's not to love about that?
