Fashion/Makeup Inspiration: Tiffany D

I recently did a blog post about one of my fashion inspiration/icon Ms. Kim Kardashian, and I plan on writing many of these types of posts. Today I chose my favorite YouTube Makeup Guru Tiffany D. I stumbled upon one of Tiffany's videos a couple months back, and I instantly became a fan.



When you watch one of Tiffany's tutorials, she makes it so easy to comprehend and actually do the looks yourself. I have personally learned so MUCH from watching her videos.When Tiffany does a specific look (for example: Holiday Emerald look or Pink look) she gives you a good description of the colors that she uses and she gives you options and names of colors or brands you can use. She also does review, hauls, and favorites videos. I love that Tiffany uses high end brands such as YSL but one of her favorite lipsticks is from Loreal, a drugstore brand. I trust her advise and recommendations.

Tiffany D has done some 'Outfit of the Day' and I have to say she has amazing style. It's simple yet very chic. I love her necklaces, usually from Target. I literally want to run out to Target as soon as her video is done and purchase the necklaces that she wears. She always wears these bracelet watches from Guess and I loved them so much I bought one that was similar.

I know there are A LOT of gurus on YouTube, some who have become so popular and even famous that they have changed. I believe that Tiffany has been making videos since August of 2008 and she has (as of right now)  273,795 subscribers. She is a regular girl who loves makeup and enjoys making videos on YouTube. 

I also follow her on twitter and I have asked her for some advise such as which MAC concealer is better, she said MAC studiofinish, so I gave it a try and I absolutely love it. Tiffany has (as of right now) 51,336 followers on twitter and I am very sure that she gets a lot of people asking her questions, but I love that she responds. I have tweeted her several times and she has almost always responded. She is so nice and down to earth. I appreciate her responding to me and other people on twitter, Youtube, and her blog.

Recently I attempted to recreate one of her Tutorials the Holiday Emerald Eyes Makeup Tutorial  and sent Tiffany a picture of it (my poor attempt) through twitter.  She actually responded and said how "gorgeous" it was. I thought that was very nice of her :)

Fashion Inspiration/Icon: Kim Kardashsian

I will be posting blogs about fashion and who my inspirations in fashion and in life are. Two things that I truly love are fashion and makeup. I don't consider myself the most fashionable person or the most savvy when it comes to makeup, but I love to learn and get ideas from different people.

One of my fashion inspirations is the wonderful Kim Kardashian. I love that she is not afraid to take risks and I love that she has curves but still manages to wear cute, comfy, and Chic clothes.

I always go on gossip websites or buy gossip magazines to see paparazzi pictures of her, and I watch all the Kardashian shows on E! to see what she is wearing.

Miss Kim dresses very casually on an everyday basis, she wears cute jeans, with simple but nice tops, and pairs it with amazing shoes or boots. She always has the most phenomenal purses and accessories.

 I am a "jeans and t-shirt" type of gal, and I love that Kim is one too. She adds vests or scarves or jackets and the entire outfit will look outstanding.

I love this look with the tweed jacket, one of my favorites....

Even though Kim wears "jeans and t-shirts" she also looks fierce and gorgeous on the red carpet...like recently for her birthday bash in Las Vegas she looked exquisite

or this look for the Emmy's

Kim's makeup is also always so flawless. She is a big fan of the dark smokey eye with a nude lip. But what I always notice and love about her makeup is her cheeks(not her buttcheeks lol) her bronzer/blush looks so stunning.

Kim has long pretty lashes, which I know sometimes she has fake lashes, and it adds to the look of the dramatic eye. I also love the lip products that she uses, usually nude colors.

I admire miss Kim Kardashian for being such a fashion icon!

Thanks Kim for being my fashion inspiration :)

Disneyland 'What to Wear' guide

Something about me you will soon find out is that I love Disneyland. I was born and raised in southern California, and the first time I attended Mickey's home was when I was 3 years old. I have attended the happiest place on earth every year at least once a year since...so not only do I love this place I know a few things to make your trip easier and COMFORTABLE.

I will be using this word A LOT "COMFORTABLE"...comfort is key when attending Disneyland or any theme park. Regardless of what season or time of the year you attend wearing clothes and shoes that fit is key. If your shirt is too tight or your shoes are new and give you blisters you will be miserable and it will be no bueno or no good. :(

Fall/Winter:

Southern California is known for it hot sunny days but in the cold seasons it can get a bit chilly. I suggest to wear pants, preferably your favorite most

COMFORTABLE jeans, a simple T-shirt and a nice warm sweater.

As far as shoes I suggest warm COMFORTABLE boots or some sneakers. I am a fan of UGG boots. I know that these boots are hit or miss with some people. I wore some last year when I attended Disneyland in December and my feet were very warm and happy :) They have wool inside which make your feet feel like they are walking on clouds.



Spring/Summer:

I admit, I am a Jeans and T-shirt kinda gal. And when I go to Disneyland my outfit consist of:

 1.)My favorite jeans             

 2.)A cute Mickey/Minnie shirt                                   

 3.)My favorite Coach sneakers

 Three important C's you should follow when going to Disneyland. Cute, COMFORTABLE, and casual. That is why I wear the above outfit all the time I just switch up the shirts. By the way those shirts are my absolute favorite. I bought the Minnie Mouse one at H&M and the Mickey shirt at Disneyland. I have others  that I have purchased at Forever 21 and other stores. Mickey shirts are not so simple and plain anymore they make them cute and girly now.

Also even though its spring or summer always take a light sweater or jacket, night can get sort of cold.

Bag:

I have seen girls take the large totes or carryalls to Disneyland, and I myself have been guilty of this in the past. But I have learned...

Again COMFORT is key and I found that taking a swingpack or a small messenger bag is the best thing ever.

I love these Coach Swingpacks they are cute, small and actually let you carry several things.

Or if you really wanna make it better simply taking a wristlet, it will be an easier option

You don't need to take everything but the kitchen sink. A small bag or purse is all you need with money, your tickets, I.D maybe a small compact and chapstick. The times I took a large bag my shoulders hurt so bad and I just hated carrying around unnecessary things.

I also suggest in renting a locker. They help so much in relieving what you bring or buy and not having to worry about carrying bags or losing things.

Accessories:

Summer/Spring: Sunglasses and suncreen are imprtant to protect your eyes and skin from those UVAs. Also  hair bands or hair clips if you get too hot and want to pull your hair in a pony tail.

Winter/Fall: Scarves and gloves are a good idea especially at night.

The most important tip when going to Disneyland or any theme park is to have fun and just enjoy yourself. Go on rides, shop, eat, and just forget about every day problems. I have always understood why Disneyland is called the Happiest Place on Earth because it just makes me feel happy...but I do have to admit by the end of the night I do feel like Mickey kicked my butt :)

BUT its all worth it!

So go and HAVE FUN!!
