Leather Fringe, Emerald and Gloom

I think from this post and from a lot of my previous ones you can make certain assumptions about me: I like leather and I like those shoes. If you did make those assumptions, you are completely correct lol.

I have a really bad caffeine buzz right now so my thoughts are everywhere lol. I think I have had maybe 4 large cups within the last 3-4 hours....yea....I'm an caffeine-aholic :/ So everything makes sense, I;m going to number my thoughts for the day lol. Here goes:

1. I don't know whether it's because the weather is changing or if I'm just changing but my wardrobe seems to be gravitating towards the dark side. I took a step back this morning and realized I have so much black, dark red, leather...dude.....what's going on? lol.

2.Zara had that EXACT same skirt in the spring for almost $100 and guess what? Now Forever 21 has them for $30. If you are feeling it I say go get them like NOW because there was only one left in my size and that was last week. Speaking of which, I havent done a trend on a budget post in a while. My apologies; it seemed to have slipped my mind but no worries I should have a couple up this month.

3. This is my crazy hair when I haven't straightened it. One of the many times you will see it in this state this semester. So please dont judge me *in Chris Brown voice* lol

4. A friend of mine is in a iHeartRihanna contest on twitter so PLEASE RETWEET HERE so he can meet her <3 Thank youuuu! :) I hope it's not too late 

5. I keep forgetting to put this here. I have a Facebook Page now for DRS so if you want to keep up with my posts LIKE IT please  and tell your friends about it :) Click HERE. 

6. I should be a having a give-away soon *YAY* and this week you will be meeting my lovely photographer and makeup artist from New Orleans

7. Lastly, a little word about the Summer-to-Fall transition. Since the weather is still manageable, use this time to update your fall/winter wardrobe and deal with the occasional chill with an oversized sweater over any summer outfit. A nice leather jacket and tights should help you into fall.

Now back to le books, I have a 20-page lab report due tomorrow, topped off with an exam, oh and did i mention I have a presentation (which I'm not prepared for) on Tuesday and another exam on Thursday and problem sets due....FUN! -_____-  If anyone wants to skype....i should be up till 5am...or so? lol

Wish me luck and keep me in your prayers

HAPPY MONDAY!
HAPPY OCTOBER!
September, it was real!

Pink Monday

I would like to dedicate today's post to my mother who passed away about two and a half years ago from breast cancer. Without her I wouldn't be the person I am today. I strive to be the woman she was and more. Not a day goes by that I don't think about her and the fight, drive, ambition and strength she had. I would like to encourage all the readers to donate to any breast cancer organization bearing in mind that every cent donated goes toward saving the lives of women in your lives

During my weekend in Houston, my sister and I went through my mother's things as we hadn't touched them since she passed. It was possibly one of the most painful things I've had to do in a while. As we sorted through them, this shirt caught my eye and it brought back some very good memories of my mom and me. I then decided to use it for a post this week :) in memory of her!

On a much lighter note, my weekend was SOOOO much fun and my liver is going to pay the price for it. I haven't had THAT much fun is such a long time and was most certainly a needed break but the weekend is over now and it's time to take it a little slow. At this very moment, all I am thinking about is making up for  my sleep deprived weekend. I am so tired right now, I can hear my bed calling my name!

Goodnight lovelies! :)
