Forever 21 Haul !

Hey dolls, its Jaz' here with a haul from Forever 21! This remains one of my favorite stores as they keep trendy pieces for affordable prices. Here are my purchases:

black & gold statement necklace $6.80

Statement necklaces are really big this season and an easy way to spice up any outfit.

Check Ashley's blog post on bib necklaces for more info on styling the trend.

yellow & gold slipnot earring $1.50

Who can do without some nice snazzy studs especially a pair this cute and cheap??

silver spike earrings $1.50

A nice pair of spike studs to add a bit of edge to any outfit

hair bands $1.00

Since I'm natural, these bands are a necessity for when styling my hair without weave. Regular hair bands just dont cut it anymore. I need the long elastic ones that can fit around my head and it helps to have them in neutral colors.

black and white long pant $17.80

A comfortable pair of pants in a nice funky print. Roomy, loose pockets, with a skinny fit at the ankles these pants can have an almost "harem" type vibe and can be scrunged up for a different look.

pink lace top $9.80

A nice top for layering and a nice pastel color perfect for the coming spring. 

nude shimmer lip gloss $1.80

I wanted a nice nude color for my lips that would add a hint of color but still be subtle enough to go with any makeup look. I figured it'd go good with the nude lipstick I already have from NYC in Cafe.

Alright guys, these are my purchases and thus far I am thrilled with them! tell me what you guys think, which item was your favorite? Least favorite? Leave your comments below!! Until next time dollcakes! :)

Celeb Inspired Looks for Less: Kourtney Kardashian

Hello all, its Jaz' here and I have been inspired! Many of those who have known me awhile and observed my fashion tell me that my style resembles that of the eclectic and boho chic Kourtney Kardashian. I take this as a grand compliment as she is always well put together and never afraid to take risks when it comes to fashion. I decided to do one of her fash looks for less, putting together items I already owned to create what i hope to be a worthy replica. This outfit was worn to a Sunday lunch date with a friend. Now take a look at a comparison between her look and mine.

What do you guys think? Did I nail the look?

Miss Kardashians outfit cost a grip, but below is the list of items I have on and their prices:

Headband Forever 21 3.80 

(sorry its kind of difficult to see in the photographs)

Cream Lace Top: Thrifted $1.25

White Camisole: Walmart $3.00

Black Waist Belt: Forever21 $7.80

Black Puff Skirt: Forever21 $15.80

Hope you guys are inspired to rock high profile celeb-style looks for less!!

Mini Makeup Haul !

Hello bloggers and happy new year!!!! Its Jaz' here and I wanted to share with you all a few makeup purchases I made earlier today. All items were purchased from Walmart and totaled to a little over $16. Here's what I purchased:

NYC Ultra Moist Lip Wear in Petal
93cents

NYC Ultra Moist Lip Wear in Retro Red
 93cents

NYC Smooth Skin Liquid Concealer
in Light $3.57

Loreal Studio Secrets Professional
 Color Smokes Eyeshadow
in Forest Smokes $5.97

NYC Brow & Liner Pencil
in Dark Brown $1.72

NYC Shadow Applicators
93cents

NYC Instant Lash All Purpose
Mascara in Extreme Black $1.00

Can you believe I got all those items for around $16??? I am the queen of frugalistas, girls, I tell you lol. I called this a mini haul because most of these items I have purchased before but the NYC Instant Lash Mascara, the NYC shadow applicators, and the Loreal Studio Secrets Professional Color Smokes Eyeshadow are first time buys. I will do reviews on these products after I try them out. As far as the products I have tried, the lip colors are both very pigmented and very moisturizing to the lips. NYC lipstick in Retro Red is a very true to color fire engine red. NYC lipstick in Petal is light pink and has a slight shimmer to it when applied. I love both colors. I use the NYC concealer to define my brows, which is why I got it a few shades lighter than my skin tone. I have been pleased with this concealer, it def gets the job done, though it can a little extra effort to blend sometimes. I use the brow pencils, of course, to fill in my brows. I use a dark brown shade because black looks unnatural. You should never use black for brows. These pencils are inexpensive and work very well for my brow process.

At any rate guys, these are the products I purchased. I hope you guys enjoyed this haul and maybe my purchases can inspire you all for the next time you need a new makeup item for the low. Until next time!

Gift Ideas For $30 & Under

Hey dollfaces! Jaz here & Its Christmas Time!!! Well not yet, but VERY close to, and I know there are a few of you lovelies who still need to get gifts for the special loved ones in your life. For this reason I have complied a list of cool but inexpensive gift ideas that can help make youur holiday shopping go a little more smoothly and leave your pockets a little less....empty.

FOR MEN
here are a few gift ideas for those special men in your life:

COOL CARDIGAN

This is a great gift idea for your fashion savvy male friend or relative. Cardigans are very trendy for guys right now and will keep him warm and looking good in the winter season. The pictured cardigan is from forever21 and will run you $23.03. There are many more styles and colors on the forever21 website and some of them cost even less than this one. Look to find the one that is perfect for that guy on your mind!

LETS PLAY

Okay, lets be real here dolls. Most guys...boys, men, whatever...are all just big kids at heart. And most own a gaming system of sorts that they are always dying to upgrade in one way or another whenever possible. One option is to purchase a controller for their xbox, ps3, or whatever their system of choice is. The option to have two participants is always better than just one! And who knows, maybe this new controller will allow you to get into gameplay with mr. man and give you guys some good 'ol QT. Browse Amazon.com you can find Xbox controllers for as low $25.00 and PS3 controllers for as low as $13.18!


SMELL GOODS

 Every man wants to smell good so what better gift than a nice, masculine scent that's all his own. There are lots of quality colognes out there for less. Check out the scents before buying to be sure to purchase the perfect one for your loved one. Pictured is Guess by Marciano cologne. It can be found at Sears for $26.00.  

FOR WOMEN

here are a few gift ideas for your special dolls :

MAKE ME PRETTY

This is the Coastal Scents 88 Original Palette. Any girl, or at least any girl I know, would die to have this palatte at her disposal! There is a vast variety of colors and according to various reviews on YouTube and the Coastal Scents website, they are all said to be very rich and well pigmented shadows. This particular palatte costs only $18.95 and can be purchased from coastalscents.com. It comes with a mirror and two dual end foam tip applicators.

MMM...JUICY

As I said for men, the same goes for women. Everyone likes to smell good. Juicy Couture is a high -end brand of clothing, bags, jewelry, and fragrances that are delightful  in quality but usually quite heavy on the budget. However, this  Viva La Juicy set, which comes with lotion, parfum, and eau de parfum spray rings in at only $29.99 and can be found at your local target or target.com. They also offer the Peace, Love, and Juicy set, which i LOVE, but either set would make a perfect gift for a glam girlie.

ROC ME OUT

Good Music. The gift that keeps on giving. Rihanna's new album "Talk that Talk" is  exceptional. You can jam it track for track. I think it would make a perfect gift to get a girl to tap into her inner rockstar. It will run you about $11.99 for the regular version, $16.99 for the deluxe. If the girl your gifting for is not a Rihanna fan, no worries. There are many other quality CDs that came out this year. Choose according to your loved ones personality and artist you know for sure they would like. .

BOOKS

Books are a great gift if you know your loved one is more of an intellectual. Or at the very least likes a little reading. I personally love to read and the Hunger Games series is one of the best series (if not the best) that I have ever read. This book would be a great gift for a person who likes to read utopian/dystopian fiction novels and doesn't mind a book that will keep them on the edge of their seats. Some other great book ideas are A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini or The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

GIFT CARDS

Gift cards can be a perfect gift for someone who is a bit more tricky to gift for. Money toward music (everyone likes music!) or your loved ones favorite store is a great gift. Just make sure the place or product of the gift card you purchase is somewhere that the person can spend $30 and get a worthwhile item. $30 can go a long way in the iTunes store, Forever21, or Walmart. If selecting a reasonably priced store that your loved one will enjoy becomes to difficult, there are Visa gift cards that can be used any where Visa is accepted.

I hope this was helpful to you all to make your holiday shopping trips a lot easier and helps to make your loved ones very happy this Christmas season! Love, Peace, & Hair Grease...oh, & happy holidays!!!
