Happy November, everyone! 

Does anyone else think that the closer it gets to the end of the year the FASTER it's going by? I can't believe half the semester is over! And only 52-ish days till Christmas??? When did that happen?!

Oh well.. Time to enjoy the chilly fall weather! Weather in the good ol' Midwest has been one of two ways- absolutely awful or absolutely wonderful. Today was a wonderful day, with cool weather, bright blue skies, and tries looking their most colorful. And might I just say I deserved today! It had rained for 3 days! Nothing but gloomy skies and rain... 

While this outfit is from a week or so ago, I thought I'd still post it since I've been doing an awful job keeping this place alive! lol

Sweater from Forever 21

Skirt from Express

Tights... Can't remember! 

Shoes... also can't remember!

Necklace from Body Central

God Bless!

I'm Baaaaack!!!

Hopefully to stay this time!

So all excuses aside... it has been a while! I'm missed blogging so! It seems every time I would want to post, something else would come up that needed doing. I have so many old Outfit of the Day pictures that I never blogged! So I might decide to do a collaborative post with less pictures per outfit, but several different outfits within the post. Thoughts?

To catch you up, I am officially on summer break!!! *does happy dance* Why am I ultra-excited this particular summer? Well there are a few reasons-

• I have not had a break from school longer than Christmas in a year and half! (I've taken classes 5 straight semesters. Including summer.)
• I just got a job at Ulta! (100 follower giveaway, anyone?)
• My family is going to Guatemala for 2 weeks this month! 
• Boyfriend is coming along! 

And those are currently the reasons I smile. :) Ahem... Since this is pretty much a "Here I am!!!" post, I'll leave you with some pictures from yesterday. My mother and sister came to visit and we all went to a Hispanic festival!

Looking forward to getting back into the fashion blogging community!! I'm missed you so!!

God Bless,

2013...

Come at me, bro.

Happy New Year! I know I haven't blogged in FOREVER... My excuses!

• Just graduated college
• About to start grad school
• Started a new job
• Going to be moving
• Been busy with my photography business
• And just your random Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years busyness! 

But since I'm going to be having somewhat more time, AND I GOT A TRIPOD, I'm hoping to be blogging more regularly! So onward into the new year! :)

Now, for today's OoTD, my father gets home (I'm living at home for winter break) and looks at me and says, "Wow, you look nice. Did you go anywhere today?" Later my mother returns home and says, "Well don't we look nice today." WHAT IN THE WORLD!!! I promise I haven't been neglecting fashion just because I haven't been blogging! 

 

 

 

Peace!

Fashion Feature Challenge: Day 2

Okay, so I just spammed your blog feed! Sorry! But I must catch up! In case you did not see my previous post, I am doing a fashion challenge! It is to pick a brand or store and wear at least one piece each day for the month of October. I chose Body Central!

On to today's outfit! I've worn and blogged this outfit- a summer version- before.

The creepiest picture of my hand EVER! "Moss Have" by Sinful Colors.

Super comfy leopard mocs from Maurices! 

Random cluster of bracelets from all around! The turtle and dolphin bracelets are from Guatemala! :)

I LOVE this necklace! Also from Guatemala! 

Still trying to figure out how to take pictures sans tripod...

I love this Body Central top! It is loose and light, which is perfect for hot days. This piece goes perfectly from summer to fall, as well! Typically during the summer, I wear this top without a cami. Nothing wrong with showing a little extra skin! Because the sleeve openings are larger, I do wear a bandeau so as not to show my bra. Since today was chilly, I threw on a cami from Forever 21 under it. I think it goes well together! I really do love muted colors. :)

On a side note, here is a mini haul! I went to Walgreens and picked up a few tidbits... ;)

Elf Disney Villains collection! Evil Queen!

Sinful colors eyeliners

Wet and Wild lip gloss

Sinful Colors nail polish

Fashion Feature Challenge- October

Okay, so I have been MIA for so long! There are a number of reasons- final semester of college, graduate classes, and a personal crisis. I won't go into the details of any of them. But I am on the mend and so I feel I need to restart my life! Blogging and all! And to encourage this I am going to be having a mini-series! Please look forward to....

Fashion Feature Challenge: October! Featuring Body Central!

The premise of this and other blog posts during the month of October will be to feature at least one Body Central item each day. That's right! Lil Miss Latina is going to blog everyday! Or at least try.... ;)

So, while I am tripod-less, I probably won't be actually posting photos while wearing the outfits... I'm going to try and figure out a way to take pictures sans tripod and my usual photographer, my sister, but till then it will probably just be an overview of the outfit. Sorry! 

Top: JC Penny

Cami: Forever 21

Jeans: Aeropastale

Boots: Body Central

These boots are so comfortable!

 

Nail polish: Sinful Colors- Rain Storm

I took several pictures so you could really see the color. They are a dark brown and oh so comfy! You will definitely be seeing these throughout the month! I've worn them with so many outfits already! The sizing is also very typical to most shoes. I'm a size 7 in most shoes, and am here as well. The quality of the boots is very well done. Sometimes it's hard to find reasonably priced boots that are good quality, especially, when they are from a retailer who does not specialize in shoes,but these are just fab! They also had them in several other colors which I was tempted to splurge on.. all in due time I say! :)

While I wrote this post last night, my internet went out and I could not post it until today. Sorry! 

Sunday Stripes...

and fabulous future! 

Well the picnic is over for another year... last night was the final night of my town's annual founders' day picnic. I spent the evening walking around eating with my best friend, Frances. We talked and laughed and had a great time! (Even if it was ungodly hot outside!)

Walking around, seeing people we had known years ago, made Fran and I realize how much our lives have changed, as well as, glad to have outgrown and found life beyond our little hometown. While we, of course, still have ties to this town, and we won't forget where we called home for so long, we aren't letting small town mentality hinder our dreams. I'm very grateful to have been raised in such a small, safe town, but I also realize there is more out there for me. Country-raised. City-destined. :)

Now after my little shpeal  on small town life, I would like to apologize for not having any OoTD pictures from last evening. I really liked my outfit too! But my photographer aka my sister, had to work, and I feel very vain letting anyone else take pictures of me... But I will definitely be wearing the outfit again, and will get pictures! So until then, it'll just remain a secret! ;)

So here is my outfit today instead! :)

My wonderful bestie brought me this dress back from the Philippines! It love it!  

          

 

Bought this purse at Body Central on sale for $6.99! It's super cute and has so much room! 

          

 

If I look slightly... flushed... it's because, well, it's an inferno outside! Super hot... >:( Hence the flowy, light dress! All jewelry was high-jacked from my mama's closet! I get my fashion sense from her. :) And my dad's not too bad either! haha

Hope you all are having a great Sunday! Here's to a good week to follow! :)

Lace, Floral, and Fun....

I hope everyone is having a fabulous day! I'm back at my apartment for a couple days for work then I'll be headed back to my parents. Such I busy life I lead! haha just kidding. :)

Well this weekend is the annual founders day picnic in my hometown. For those of you not "in the know", that means a few things- 1) summer vacation is drawing to a close 2) the reunion of cliques that have been separated due to vacations, summer jobs, and camps of various sorts, and 3) the time to show off any tan, cute clothes, or boyfriend you may have acquired over the course of the summer.

Basically it's our town's version of the red carpet (except it's sticky pavement)- a place to see and be seen. 

The only reason I go anymore is for the food. I do not ride rides and the entertainment in the park has been the same since I was two. This year I went with my mom, sister, my oldest friend and her little girl. We ended up having a blast! I guess being around a young spirit makes you feel younger yourself! :)

Top from JC Penny, shorts from Gordmans, Sandals from New York and Company

I love this necklace from Forever 21!!

So many ruffles! 

             

We stared at the bunnies for quite some time :)

Someone got herself all chalked up! 

I hope everyone is having a good summer thus far! :)
