Feeling Vest-ive?

  Today's outfit was a long time no see with one of the vests in my closet. This furry favorite from Justice has been sitting in my closet since 6th grade and haven't worn because I am top heavy and I'd look like a bear in it. 

  A silky top (Old Navy), pair of jeans (Hollister), riding boots (Payless) and a statement necklace (Cato) is one of my ways to make a fur vest elegant for the cold season. My arm party complements it, too!

How would you wear a fur vest? If you have an idea, comment down below. 

How to Wear Your Fall to Winter Essentials in a Preppy Way

As I look over my YouTube post, I think I should clarify that more in a blog post, should I? If you missed the new video or wonder [what in the world is she talking about?], here it is, y'all!

Let's describe this in outfits. In the first outfit,

A blazer ALWAYS dress the outfit up in a business-y way. Even some stores sell them for under $20! This blazer, paired with a button down, comfty jeans/jeggings, and cute flats, is a total staple for the colder months. Jeggings, super skinny, any type of jean will work for a lot and the most universal staple EVER. I wore this for Thanksgiving dinner and I thought this was a good outfit (yeah don't judge me) to gain a little weight from eating lots of baked mac and cheese.

I look too chubby, lol, but this is truly adorable to wear during the winter. If you add layers of long sleeved tops (1-2 would be just fine), a puffer vest is your BFF for the cold season if a coat is a bit too much or if you want to try something different. Also, sweaters are becoming much cuter with styles, graphics, and more things you can think of, they're an excuse to wear them by themselves or as layers. Long boots are my favorite shoes to walk around. Plus, you can dress them up in cute socks, tights, or even legwarmers.

I can't get enough with button-downs, even if they are paired with skirts (psst. I am wearing sheer tights so you won't drop your jaws). They are actually a year round preppy essential, and with varieties of how you wear 'em they are versatile.

This is a sparkly top, ladies and gentlemen. Like blazers, they dress up boring outfits. They are the "I'm Confident" tops that will make a bad morning better. Try not to overdo sparkle from head to toe, but no winter outfit is cute with out them!

So this is an excuse to post the same outfit again, but 3/4-long sleeve dresses are ideal and fun to accessorize. Since this photo was taken on a day there was warmer weather I did not wear tights, but I recommend to wear leggings/tights with 'em. They look so cute with riding boots. You'll never know if I'm going to do that idea. Let's see ;)

Scarves are essential to keep your neck warm. They are a good excuse to bring out your dangly earrings ar they can look good with pearls. They provide a feel from statement necklaces if you don't feel like wearing them. If the scarf is not too much with a any necklaces, I think they would look cute together, too! I  would love a monogrammed chevron scarf right now!

Also, plaid skirts are adorable for the cold season, too! I know they are a tad too much for my budget, but the plaid skirts from Preppy Pink Shop, a store on Etsy, makes good plaid skirts for the season and inspire me to make my own! Sweaters, tights, and flats/heels would make a good outfit together with plaid skirts.

Also check out Proper Essential's page for cute bracelets that I mentioned at the end of the video.

A Very Late Birthday Post

   Well, thanks to the people who said happy birthday to me 2 weeks ago. It was surely a blessing to be 14. Yes and I loved my goodies. Here is my birthday outfit. 

I am wearing a dress from my birthday haul from Gap. The dress was paired with my flats from Old Navy and necklace from Cato. Since I felt fabulous that day, I added my extensions which were applied by a lot of bobby pins to let them stay in my hair. I did have a need to invest in the hair extension clips at Sally's, though. Sassy pearls finished and polished off the outfit.

   For my best outfits so far this November..........

   I had the best shopping experience for the few days before my birthday. So....... I am doing a October favorites, loves, and interests video. And an extra surprise,

I was a princess for Halloween. I hope y'all have a fun November!

Just a Little Pre-Birthday Shopping Won't Hurt!

    Hey, y'all! I came back home from a rigorous amount of shopping out of town. This was the start of the best birthday weekend (thank God I'm turning 15 on Wednesday) I've ever had. I've had my 1st shopping experience at J. Crew and Timex and was really happy with my orders. The other stores, Gap and American Eagle were the ones I've shopped before (even though Gap, Timex, and J. Crew were the stores not in our town.....yet?) and have gotten great deals. I think outlets are great to shop during the weekends mostly because they contain ah-ma-zing deals. Here's the outfit I wore:

Top: hand me down, Jeans: hand me down (Hollister), Boots: Payless, Necklace: Cato's

   Speaking of outfit remember this blog? One of the thing got checked off! My duck boots came back and you won't see them until I post a haul on YouTube Monday (and what I got at the outlets)! They are from Blain's Farm and Fleet from the brand, Tamarack. They are 5x gorgeous and about 1/5 of L.L. Bean's price. Plus, they have gorgeous quality posted here.

   I can't wait to turn 15, now! I feel like I've grown up too much (inserts laughing emoji). Until then, see you on my next blog and YouTube video.

xoxo, Desi.

Tiger Pride.

 It's the next to the last home game of the season and football season is almost over. At least our school team won!

 My outfit consisted of mostly orange, black, and white-- the school colors. 

This sweater I made it myself. There are many ways to make a pocket. And also, I jazzed it up with a bow. You can get the fabric, shirt, and the fixings at craft stores. You can even even get the sweater at a craft store. I paired it with my white jeans, Sperry's, warm Old Navy puffer vest, and my orange bubble necklace I love to wear every Friday. 

 Here's the close up of the sweater. 

 My hair consisted of extensions and a bow. Yes, I've made the bow. Then, I curled it to doll up for home games. 

 It's been a blast being at the home games. Idk if I would go to basketball games, but making new friends was amazing! Do you like going to the games? What's your school spirit look lately?

Concert!

   Hey guys! I've enjoyed my weekend. How about y'all. I went to a concert for a gospel radio station! The concert was bomb-tastic. Here's the outfit that was also bomb-tastic, too.

Outfit details are here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKJWX8Id-wQ.

Well this is short and sweet! See you next blog!

Spirit Week!

I am excited to show my first outfits of the week on this blog right here! This week was my school's homecoming week! I posted all of the outfits I wore to school. I may mot be best dressed, but I've gotten the most classy, preppy, and fashionable spirit week ideas.

striped top:Forever 21, button down: JC Penney, jacket: its reeeally old, jeans: F21, shoes: Old Navy, necklace: Cato

Monday was mismatched day, so I became a genius and mismatched sweater(which was actually a long sleeve t-shirt) and button down prints. I paired those with my bright pink jeans 'cause I felt Barbie-ish. Then, I mismatch pairs of Old Navy pointed toe flats because I fell in love (I only got 3 pairs and counting!). Then, a bubble necklace got in the way. ;)

black top and vest: Justice, camo t-shirt: Target, jeans and chain necklace: F21, shoes: Payless, white bow: made it myself

Tuesday was camo day for me, and I had a hard time finding camo, even if it's on trend. I found this one at Target and layered it over a long sleeve t-shirt and under a military jacket. Black jeans and riding boots made it military-hunter look. I still want to look classy, so I decided to wear chain choker and pearls.

top: A'Gaci, skirt: Belk, belt: from a shirt, red shoes: yard sale, necklace: Old Navy, bow: made it myself

Wednesday was Disney character and the only thing in my close was for Snow White. I didn't have a red bow, so I put on my rose printed, along with red shoes, belt, and necklace. I'm pretty sure you've seen the blue tee before. The yellow skirt was added, too. Now, may I have a red delicious apple?

 sweater: Plato's Closet, shirt: F21, jeans: Wal-Mart, shoes: Old Navy, necklace: Cato

Thursday was neon day and I only have it in the necklace. I colorblocked the colors, anyways. Here we go again with the sweater-button down combo again.

top: Plato's Closet, jeans: F21, belt: Target, shoes: Payless, necklace: Cato, bows: made them myself

Today was tiger pride day and I'm screaming orange, black, and white! I put my hair in a bun with black and zebra hairbows. I reeeally want a houndstooth top, and had the chance to wear it with my black skinnies. Look! I'm wearing sparkle shoes and a bubble necklace today!

These were the outfits. If you are having spirit week, what themes and outfits did you and your school planned? I can't wait to do a September Favorites!

It's Almost the Birthday Month!

    As September comes to a close, it's time to think about what I really wanted . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .for my birthday in October. I thought that I would share with you guys. It's the top 5 things I really wanted (according to my Wanelo). It doesn't have to be exact, but to give you an idea about what I'm thinking of on my wishlist. This is the Wanelo link.

5. Laptop Lunches: Ever since I started to eat healthy, I thought of making cool recipes to impress these fellow students at school. Despite my awesome (um, almost) cooking skills, I was so so so in love with bento lunches. With the Laptop Lunches, they have exciting recipes and the boxes are in bubbly colors. Here's my picks:

• http://secure.laptoplunches.com/itemdesc.asp?ic=L600-blkpnk&eq=&Tp= (cause I'm girly like that)
• http://secure.laptoplunches.com/itemdesc.asp?ic=L600-jubilee&eq=&Tp=
• http://secure.laptoplunches.com/itemdesc.asp?ic=E300-jazz&eq=&Tp=

4.Sperry's: With 3 pairs, I'm ready for a 4th pair. I fell in love with the leopard print ones. Enough said.

3.Bean. Boots.: Yes, that emphasis was put because I was inspired by preppy IG accounts (including Sarahbelle93x), to own bean(or duck) boots. I know that costs a fortune, but let's hope Payless or Forever 21 start selling these for a waaaay less price.

• http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/35477?page=womens-llbean-boots-8

2. Champ Bag: If you have watched my What's In My Purse Video (<-- Link), you've heard that I prefer smaller bags. The problem: I couldn't carry what I needed in that purse without spilling all my stuff. Plus, the phone takes too much space. Now, I'm going to invest in small makeup bags for everything in my purse and do weekly cleanouts (I hope you remind me of it). Speaking of cleanouts, I saw many what's in my bag videos and this one(<-- Link) sparks an idea to my mind: find an inexpensive Longchamp bag. I saw these two top beauties from Marley Lilly, Etsy(through the store,MONOGRAMSINC), and Tiny Tullip. Let's hope these don't sell out quick before the end of October.

1. Chevron Dresses.: This has to be my top pick because ever since I first saw it on a few friends of mine, I decided to jump on the bandwagon. They should be versatile and be worn all around from January-December. I got to be careful, they sell out very quick!

• http://www.lulus.com/products/can-you-zig-it-coral-pink-chevron-print-dress/89862.html
• http://www.shopsosie.com/jagged-chevron-dress-in-peaches-10989.html
• http://kelsiskloset.com/products/multi-colored-chevron-dress

And there's a little something:

The jacket and shorts are old, but the top is from Old Navy and the shoes are Sperry's. I had a hair bow, and that's all.

Until next time, see you guys later!

A Busy Start

As I am starting high school, my schedule is filling up. Orchestra, homework from classes, and school clubs are starting to be hectic. Fashion-wise, I have a set of outfits (most of them defined on my YT video) to show you guys.

I hope this will give y'all some ideas on what to wear to school.

Recently, I was surprised by this:

TheGorgeousBeautie was featured on my AwesomenessTV! I thank God first of all. Then, I thank my mom. Last, but not least, I thank you guys for supporting me through! Well, that was good news.

Until next time,
xoxo, Desi

First Day of High School.

   I am so blessed to be a freshman on high school this year. I met new people, yet I spoke to my old buddies. My classes this first semester consisted of two science classes, French, and orchestra class which would last for only one semester. I have so many extracurricular activities outside school that I don't know if I would be able to join any of them.

      Speaking of extracurricular activities, my outfit was very dressy for a pair of casual bottoms from Old Navy. I had a beautiful blouse from Forever 21 that would pair ver nicely with those. The shoes from Old Navy add a pop of color in a edgy-preppy way. I started to wear my bracelets which were neglected for a while (because I thought they were too expensive to buy) until I started to follow those preppy accounts on Instagram and  watching Sarahbelle93x at the same time.  Yes I'm a little off topic, here's the outfit. 

Yes, here it is. Sophisticated and comfy at the same time (if you put on a good tank top). I decided to wear a skirt, but I realized there will be people who will look under my skirts going upstairs and will sexually harass you until the point that you can't take it anymore.

      Have a good school year, interact with your teachers if you can, and focus on school work first.

xoxo, Desi

Doing Community Service......... In Style!

Ahh! I haven't posted in weeks. Today I went to my local nursing home with my church and doing what God had called me to do.

Top: Homemade, Bottom: Old Navy, Shoes: Sperry, Purse: Nine Wesr

It's been a while since I've been there. The yard was beautiful. The people over at the sick home were very inspiring, too. It is never bad to listen to people who went through more than your ever thought and understanding their stories.

Here's my neck stacks on stacks

Both necklaces are from Forever 21 and the jacket is from JC Penney(not available)The hairbow emojis are there for security reasons.

I hope you visit the sick or/and the senior citizens at your local nursing home.

School Clothing, Jewelry, and a Collection, Oh My!

   As the new video was posted on my channel like yesterday, decided to post my Back to School 2K13 playlist to my blog so all of you beauties can see what's in store.




I am planning to do a collection, but could you guys help me what store suits the collection, pretty please? Here's the rough or the pieces I'm making:

Adorable, aren't they. 10% of the price of these goodies should go to Autism Speaks. Autism Speaks is an organization to raises money to find a cure for autism. I you want to learn more about Autism, you link Autism Speaks' story here. As a person diagnosed with autism at a very young age, I think the collection will inspire other, even with autism to make their dreams. This is it, my dears. And a little something:

I was strutting with red lips(lipgloss and lipstick were ULTA brand from a makeup set) on. No, I didn't wear it in public, I wore it for a game of dress up.

Washington DC! Amazing Trip

From last Wednesday to Saturday, I went up in Washington, DC. By the way, I did not post any outfits because there were too many beautiful views or if I took pictures, there may be some of my firends who don't want to be shown. I had a fun time there and saw pretty beautiful views. Here were the photos:

I brought a pencil, sunglasses (pink and green wayfarer styled), a Hollister dress (adorable and will be seen on future posts), and a bookbag needed for school in my favorite color, pink! BTW, my BTS 2K13 videos came in! Hope you guys liked them:
