Style: Maritza's Baby Shower

This is my first outfit post so bear with me:

So, today I went to a close friend of mine’s baby shower. I can’t even tell you the last time I’ve even been to a baby shower since my niece was born; and that was back in 2009. Anyway, it was a lot of fun. We played games, interacted with other guests, and ate great food. Plus, the cake was homemade and DELICIOUS! All in all, I really enjoyed myself. I’ve been friends with Weetie (that’s her nickname) since high school so it felt good to catch up with her.

My outfit was really simple, nothing fancy at all. I wore some jeans and a cream button down shirt. I really like this shirt because it has really small ruffles on the front and it has a capped sleeve. I paired my look with tan wedge bootie heels. These are one of my favorite pair of shoes, and only 1 of 2 pair of wedges that I own. I purchased them a little while ago from a website called GoJane and they are still available for purchase for only $28.60; without tax, of course. I think they are a good buy and I definitely want to purchase some more but the closed toe ones for the Fall and Winter.

I wanted to go with a simpler look so I added my most favorite pair of earrings, pearl studs. I wore my tan purse that I wear every single day. Ok, the head-tie thingy actually came from a pair of shorts that my sister bought. I really love it because it hides the fact that I’m wearing this “protective” hair style. I did not feel like doing my hair today because I forgot to de-tangle it last night and we were rushing to get to the baby shower. I just did a two-strand twist with my bang and put the rest in a little bun.

Crush List: September

Sooo, I think I will try out this "Wishlist" post. I don't really like the name "wish" so I renamed it "Crush List." It just sounds better to me. But check it out below and tell me what you think:

september wishlist by forevermytil featuring bow tops

1.      Black glitter TOMS: I am so in love with these glittered TOMS. They are the perfect foot accessory and just in time for Fall. They could really go with any outfit to make it more casual. I think I will actually put them on my birthday list.

2.      Pearl statement necklace: If you know me, you know I just adore pearls! This pearl statement necklace has gold accents. It would be the perfect neck candy for any night out. The necklace pictured above is actually a Chanel necklace. Although I just ADORE Chanel, I doubt I will be able to actually purchase this specific necklace. I would be better off trying to find a replica of it at Forever21 or Macy’s.

3.      Chicago beanie cap: Even though I’m from Atlanta, the Chicago Bulls is my all-time favorite NBA team. Of course my favorite player is Derrick Rose .. love him! I love the way he plays the game and I love everything he stands for. He has overcome so much adversity in his hometown but he remains humble. Anyway, I just HAVE to have this beanie cap to support my favorite team. You could be sure to remain warm this this cap. I especially love the little pouf thingy at the top. This hat is just so cute to me! Here this cap is only $20+plus tax.

4.      Combat boots: These combat boots are a cute tan color with leopard print detailing on the inside. I REALLY need these in my life for the Fall season. I’ve been looking for the perfect pair of tan combat boots and I believe I found them here. They are at Charlotte Russe but I don’t know if they carry size 7 ½ shoes there. I will definitely check it out though. You can find them here.

5.      Britney Spears “Fantasy” perfume: This is my most favorite perfume of ALL time! I bought it a couple of months ago and it’s all gone now; my mom and my sisters had something to do with it lol. But, I will probably be buying this for my birthday next month. The first time I smelt it, one of my friend’s from school had it on. I instantly fell in love with this scent. I think I will make it my signature smell. I just love it and I need it in my life right now. You can really find this perfume at any Walmart, Target, or drug store.

6.      Over-sized sweater: Oversized sweaters are in for the Fall. They are so cute and comfy. The sweater in the picture above could actually go good with the glittered TOMS. You could pair it with a cute pair of black skinny jeans and you’re set to go. I’m not Goth or anything, I just love black clothes. They just scream sophistication and chic to me. You can more than likely find any type of over-sized sweater at any fashion retail store for a lower price than the one pictured. 

Well, I hope you enjoyed this post. There will be a "Crush List" post every month so stay tuned! Happy Sunday everyone!!

Nails of the Week: OPI and Sally Hansen

Hi guys!!! I know it’s been FOREVER since my last post, I apologize. But, remember when I said I’ll have a week off from school in between each quarter? You guessed it! That’s this week. It actually started yesterday but I needed some time to allow my brain cells to rest. Any who, I thought I should get started with a Nails of the Week! Let’s get started:

Ok, if you know me, you know I cannot function in life if my nails aren’t polished. I just feel like my life is incomplete without polished nails. It sounds crazy but it’s so true! And, my toe nail polish has to be the same as my finger nail polish. I don’t like to have my toes and nails mix matched. Weird, huh? Don’t judge lol.

Yesterday I polished my nails with Sally Hansen’s “Mint Sorbet” but I didn’t want to do a post about it. Don’t get me wrong, I LOOOOOOVE that particular color, I just didn’t deem in post worthy. So today, I removed the mint polish and picked two colors that I’m not ordinarily able to wear during school. They are “Blew Me Away!” from Sally Hansen and “Simmer & Shimmer” from OPI. I’ve had these two colors for a while. They were just sitting in the polish basket. I decided to pick these colors for this week because felt they are a lot different from nail polishes that I would normally polish my nails.

I’ve used the “Simmer & Shimmer” plenty of times and I don’t know what drove me to using it today. In the past, it took forever and a day for me to take the polish off. It just stays on…forever. The glittery polish is so appealing to my nail sense and I just love the way the color comes out. Despite the fact that it’s a hassle to take the polish off, I would definitely use this color again in the future. The “Simmer & Shimmer” is a mixture of blue, silver, and pink hues. They all come together as one in this polish. If you would like to purchase this color for your own guilty pleasures, you can do so here for $9.25. Or, you can purchase it from Beauty store, like Ulta or Sephora.

Usually I love each and every OPI color but lately I’ve grown to love nail polishes by Sally Hansen. That’s the main reason I choose “Blew Me Away!” by Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme wear. It’s a really pretty medium blue color. This nail polish can be purchased here for $2.59. I personally purchased this color, and most of my other Sally Hansen polishes, from Dollar General. I forgot the price though. I also purchased some from the Kroger Grocery store. Don’t judge lol.

So, if you liked these polishes then feel free to pick them up. Hope you guys have a wonderful and productive day. Happy Thursday!!
