The forever 21 online want it spring shoes list

Hello kitties, 

This month I haven't had enough money to get as much as I would like  to buy. Here are some of the things I want to buy from forever21.com. This list I created are my hopefuls to purchase and I hope that you find something to add to your collection too.

The want list :

 👆 Every girl needs a cute pair of sandals!

These I think work well with jeans and they add some lift too. I currently own them in gold without the heel.

👉the white sandles are a simple look to dress down any busy patterns. Plus these are a great price for a basic look.

👇the blush flats are cute but not my top choice. 

👉I am in 💖 with the black pumps. They are simple and can be styled with any look. I also have been going crazy for socks lately. This would help showcase my cute sock collection.

👆the "hothouse" floral shoe is my favorite and may be my next purchase from this vendor online. I have recently started a new retail job that is quite labor some. This shoe will help zest up my denim look and help me keep a little floral within my work look.

(Florals are big this year. But try not to mix too may florals together even if they are all similar colors.) 

👉not a huge fan of metallic confetti shoes. They don't fit my style. But I like the silver. This shoe is very bohemian.

👇the faux suede Tass shoe is office cute.

👉but the faux leather ankle cuff is to die for! Too bad it's sold out cause I really want these bad girls👄!

👆the strappy platform sandles are similar to the black. But same styling choices for me. 

👉I love how they paired the white on white. I will definitely steal this look. 👀👄👍

👆more white selections. Not sure ones I like more.

These gold slip ons will definitely match my pale gold Michael Korrs bag and help dress up my boring work denim look. This will be a must have for me as I have many opportunities to add gold to help texturizing my looks. Plus a girl needs a little bling!💎

I always am on the look out for a good pair or cute run around shoes. These are cheap enough to get one or each of my woredrobe colors: pink, and teal blue. 

This is what my shopping cart looks like.

I have been going sock crazy! Especially for roses and fruity cute themes. I look at the sandles as an opportunity to show off these socks as it is currently too cold to wear sandles with cute nail polish. I am actually going to take the rise sweater and dress out my cart. My current collection I have a great many rose themed items. It's a good shopper who knows their limit; and I have nearly hit mine. 

I hope you all have enjoyed the journey through my top Picts of of online shopping through forever 21 online store. If you like these kind of online shopping tours at my wish list picks please comment below. Good or bad it's all a learning experience!  Until next time have fun mixing up your fashions.

Brazilian hair review: building a wig from scratch

Hello kitties!

I recently purchased four bundles of Brazilian body wave hair +one closure with the intentions of building a wig from scratch.i managed to get the bundles at an awesome sale price of buy one get one free, with the Expectation to use at least three bundles. So my wig making adventure began. 

 I watched several tutorials on YouTube describing technique on creating a wig from scratch. I will link the videos in the notes section at the end. The you tube gurus all used elastic or stretch caps in their construction. I chose to go with a net cap for easy weaving.  

A little education about weaves and wigs

Weaves commonly known as extensions, are sewn to extend length. Weaving is also a sewing technique for putting wefts to a cap. 

Wigs come in various types. From the full lace wig which which is hair seen through a lace cap. Full lace and lace fronts make it easy to part the hair. They can come in synthetic (not real) and human hair. Human hair blends also exist but the rumor is its naked fro animal hair like yak hair. Beware of blends, unless a pack says what type of hair it is, as a rule of thumb I don't trust them. 

The wig I made used three and a half bundles and a closer. The wig is a tad heavy and it is very full. I think I want to change the closure. I don't like the closer I purchased it was not a free part closure there was bairly a half inch part that you can not change! For $40I feel that I was ripped off... The closure mesures 5 x3".  I would not recommend this product. It looked pretty in the package but not on the 

wig. Here is the packaging to the closure. ( I wish I had taken a picture of the unit before I sewed it.)

Here is what the closure look like before it was extracted from the packaging

16 inch closure in body wave above and below installed on the wig.

 The wig was rather easy to construct. Following a simple pattern I curved the wefts around the wig. As I went around the cap I added hair as needed. My biggest regret is not adding combs to this unit, but I am going to add them sometime later on. I am going to add two on the side and one in the back for added security. I will definitely try to create another wig in the future but I am not sure how well I did on this one; I will leave it for you all to judge.

(my wig outdoors) 

22 inches long!

The hair is so very soft and although this is beauty store hair it is virgin Brazilian hair and can be colored, curled and styled as I want. I currently am wearing the natural wave of the hair, and I am going to test the curling, and styling options for this hair. The hair is all 22 inches long in a color #2 natural brown. There were some grey hairs, which is to be expected in this length of natural hair. I simply colored the hair all one color in the natural brown. 

I will post updates in two weeks on this hair. take a look at the notes section I have made references to the YouTube videos I used for this project. I would love to hear any stories you have! Please comment below.

Mew,mew, kitties, and stay styling!

Mod cloth spring review

Hello my fellow style kitties, 

This week I wanted to touch on a few of my style finds for spring and how I intend to mix the new fashion with the old. But also wanted to give a quick review on my Mod Cloth purchases and wish list.

Mod cloth spring review

"Weekday wonder" pant  by smashed lemon

Size small

Price: $68

Vendor: ModCloth 

I have many things hidden within my current Mod Cloth wish list in their app, but this is by far one I couldn't let get away. I have been watching these pants for nearly a month waiting to get my tax money to but them. Now that I have them I am in love! They are so sweet and romantic. I also purchased these shoes via mod cloth in a size 7.5. The shoes are not real leather but the real reason I got them was to show off the many cute socks I have been collecting this spring. With this outfit I chose my kitty socks. Although I would like to call them my Ako kitty socks! 

The fit of the pants are a tad loose at the waiste but not by much. I kind of wish that there were a belt line but the lack of one would not have forced me to not purchase these. I love the very busy print in the turquoise blue and pink rose theme. If your have read my other entry's, my style this year is all about rose, lace, and maybe pearls.

I also paired these pants with a ruffled top from last season from forever 21 and a recent purchase from TJ Maxx's jewelry department, the fabulous Betsy Johnson necklace! I chose to wear my natural hair pulled back with a wavy ponytail in 1B / 30

Betsy Johnson necklace $25, purchased at TJMAXX in poughkeepsie,NY

I also will be posting this Saturday a video blog post with my other spring hauls from various stores. Hope you all stay tuned for more updates. 

One might ask why do you need so many clothes? My father often taught me to dress for success. I guess I feel that I must dress the part of the person I want to become. My style is cute but I also want to be poised and professional. Besides the fact that I feel I must present the best me at all times even in jeans. I guess I really don't know how to dress down either. I don't see myself slowing down my style hunting any time soon. 

Stay styling my sexy kittens!
