OOTD- Graduation!!!

WE MADE IT!! Well, I mean I made it. But anywho, today was graduation and it couldn't have been any more special :) I had all my friends by my side (even one in heaven R.I.P. <3 )

I promised to put up pictures of my outfit, sooooo (drum roll please...) here they are :

My gown covered my wholeeee outfit, except my shoes, soo it was pretty pointless to dress up. HOWEVER, knowing Lera I always have to dress up. 

I thought I would be the only fool wearing a dress, but boy oh boy--you would be surprised. Some girls had on wedding dresses, no joke. Now, I'm not being rude but who wears a long white dress to their graduation?

Dress: Century 21

Shoes: Mario Corti- I spend so long looking for shoes to match this dress :P

Hair: I had mines straightened and pinned back my bangs

Make-up: Smoky eye, some blush, and baby pink gloss.

Nails: I ended up painting my nails a nude color and my toes a black polish. (my nails in the picture are different because I changed them right before leaving lol)

Thank you for sticking with me on this one!

What do y'all think of my outfit?? Leave a comment :)

Anywho, it is pretty awesome to talk to a computer and have it do the typing for you. If only it can do it for everything in life (sighhhhh).
      I also want to say a big HELLO to the new girlies that have decided to follow my blog...thank you sooo much! I honestly didn't think I would have at least one follower- so thank you. And a shout-out for my oldies who have followed me from the start- HELLO to you girls too!

My summer must-haves!!

********AFTER YOU ARE DONE READING THIS POST, PLEASE VOTE IN THE POLL ON THE RIGHT SIDE, THANKS :) *********

Summer is officially starting tomorrow (YAY!), so in celebration, I will share with you my summer must-haves(or things I absolutely cannot live without during this time of the year)

1. Sinful Colors nail polish in Cream Pink.
Words cannot describe how much I love this polish. It's a nice bright pink with tiny shimmers.All you need is a coat of this baby and a top coat and Voila, you are done.

2. My beach towel-duhhh! The main reason I love going to the beach is showing off and using my cute beach towels. I get lots of compliments and enjoy using them. My favorite as of now:

3. My glasses-
The sun is bright in the summer (duhh) so of course we all need to protect our eyes.
If I AM NOT going to the beach I will wear my Armani Exchange glasses:

If I AM going to the beach, I will grab a pair of sunglasses from F21, they are cheap and cute. I don't want my nice ones to get stolen.

4. Loose shirts-
You might have seen in my last post, that I had on a racer back tee. These are my staple in the summer time. I absolutely love them. So easy to build an outfit and yet comfy at the same time.
I showed you this one in my previous post, but here it is again:

5. A book! I know---"OMG, this has nothing to do with summer"....but summer is the time that I like to sit down and enjoy a good read, I have a lot of time to spare and chill with my books. (I sound like a total nerd- which I am, btw.)

OOTD!- Outfit of the Day -- Cloudy Blue Skies

Today was a really strange day for me. I started school at 12:30 pm instead of the usual 8am because of a test I had to take. So, I had a lot of spare time to do random things ( Bake cookies :) lol ) and I decided to post an outfit of the day for y'all. So here it is:

Sorry the pictures are crappy quality; I used my webcam :)

It was really nice outside so I decided to break out the leggings and sandals (my favorite as you may already know). I also wore the ring that I mentioned in my last post from Kohl's (I feel like I will be wearing it everyday now.) And of course, my beloved gray bag which is animal friendly :)).

Shirt: Route 66 from K-mart 

Leggings: DKNYC in black

Shoes: Trotters

Bag: Urban Expressions (they don't use real leather so it's animal friendly :) )

Belt: Levi's

Ring: Sterling Silver Kohl's

Watch: Annie Klein

Hair: I had mines in a bun with a thin headband (to keep away the fly-aways).

Make-up: You cannot see my face here (safety reasons) but I had on :

Nature Luxe foundation in Flax

 Fit-Me! Powder 

Maybelline One by One Mascara

Mac Well-Dressed Blush

Mac Nympette Lipglass

                               Hope you guys enjoyed the OOTD!  

                                                                                                                       xoxo, Lera :)
