Radiancy:Summertime Sadness♡

           Hello, Lovelies! This week I haven't posted as much as I initially did (I'm sorry!), but that's because I'm planning posts and a schedule to work around for when school starts. One thing my brain came up with while doing the planning were series. I want to be able to share things I love and find interesting with everyone else without being boring. This happens to be one of those series.
          One of my best friends helped me come up with the title of the series, "Radiancy." Every week I will post pictures of things, home decor, make-up looks, hair, travel destinations, food, etc. Each week will have a certain focus. Additionally, the post might contain thoughts or a quote.
          I also decided to add a twist to the title.The title will be followed by the name of the song I am loving at the moment. The song information will be posted at the end of the post just in case you'd like to know more about it. This is also a way for you guys to get to know me better and what I like. No more long intro, so here we go...

"I want my bedroom to be elegant, girly, yet simple. A view wouldn't hurt either." -Celi

Should We Dream?♡

          This is probably a cliché sounding post, but I am going to share a quick thought and ask you all a couple of questions.

          I strongly believe that we should all dream. We must set goals for ourselves. We need something to strive for. Without any of these things, we don't have an actual purpose. It's hard to know exactly what you want and not everything will turn out how we want to, yet we should be grateful about this because we learn more about ourselves and learn from mistakes that we or others make.

Here's all I know about my future:

-My career must entertain people. It must make people smile. It must help people is some way.

-I want to go to college.

-I want to experience living in a different city for a year, hopefully through an internship.

-Theater and/or fashion must be involved with my job.

          These things are some of my main indivual goals. I am huge dreamer and I tend to have lots of hope. I have faith that God has a beautiful plan for me. I know everything will turn out for the best. The main thing I ask God for is patience because I lack some of that. /.\

What do you dream? What do you strongly believe? What are your passions? Is it okay to dream? Is it worth it to have goals? Why?

With Lots of Love,
Celi❤

Favorite Cereals♡

          I love cereal. One thing I cannot live without is milk, so the fact that cereal exists makes it even more perfect. My mom doesn't like to have "junk" cereales around the house, therefore, I learned to love some of her favorites. 

Special K: Red Berries- This is originally my mother's pick. When I first tried it, I was instantly hooked. It is sooo good. The dry berries add a slight sour taste to it giving it a perfect balance with the sweetness of the rest of the cereal. 

Honey Bunches of Oats w/Almonds- I feel like this one is a classic. Most of the people I know have this cereal in their household whether they like it or not. For the most part, they're will be at least one person that enjoys this cereal in a family. It's just simply delicious. 

Krave- This is my favorite cereal.I love chocolate and this cereal has it. Some pieces have a little extra inside, which makes the spoonful ten times more tasty. One of the things that makes me sad about this one is that the bag contains more air than actual product. I know a lot of bagged items are like this, but somehow this one makes me the saddest. ;c I still really encourage you all to give it a try. You will love it. 

Cocoa Krispies- This cereal is just a childhood classic. When I was little, and even now, my favorite part was how the milk turned into a chocolaty paradise. It was chocolate milk but better. Unfortunately, my family consideres this a "junk" cereal so it is not consumed as much as the others. 

          I am a totally cereal kind-of-gal. I love trying new cereals and going back to old ones. I feel like cereal is something I could eat all day. What are so of your favorites? Have you tried any of these? What do you think? What's a food you could eat all day?

I hope you guys enjoyed! 

With Lots of Love,

BTS Series: Fashion Basic Must Haves ♡

          Let me be honest, I consider stores like PacSun, J. Crew, Zara, and TopShop expensive. Those stores are a luxury for me. Of course, once in a while it's okay to splurge but I make sure that it's on something I really love and/or I can use over and over again. These are some of my BTS must have basics. I think that every girl, whether in high school or college, needs these items in order to build up their outfit. Stores, like some of the ones I mentioned, have these items. I wouldn't mind splurging on items that are going to be useful throughout a whole year of homework and projects. But I still made sure that I found the items at a nice price. Let's break them down:

Crew neck sweat shirt  zipper hoodie jacket, faux leather motorcycle jacket,  silk cami  low jeans, lace camisole  skinny jeans,l lace up combat boots black sneaker canvas flat  Embroidery hat  Apple iphone caseKnit infinity scarve  Bow hair accessory

1. Everyone needs camis. Camis are a must, especially when wearing see-through tops. My favorite use for camis is layering...can fall just get here already?!

2. I personally love hoodies and sweaters and everything cozy. These come very handy for when you wake up late or you're just not feeling it. A sweater with the school's name/logo is super important. I love football and I love going to the games on Friday nights so I make sure that I wear my sweater and show my team some love. Not everyone enjoys football but it's still nice to show school spirit, right?

3. A nice pair of jeans is a total must. You can dress them down or dress them up. Jeans go with almost everything and they could be a girls best friend.

4. I love shoes, and I don't own many shoes. These 3 are all I need as of now. Sneakers that go with everything you love (almost). Boots that add edge to your outfit. Flats that dress up your look. No mas. 

5. Blazers always spice up an outfit, they add a girly touch. A girl needs a leather jacket in their closet. Leather jackets over sweaters are my favorite look because it makes one look like a total sweater fashionista. 

6. Hats/Beanies are required because us girls tend to have bad hair days and we don't want to look like medusa. When you do have good hair days, a bow is perfect to glam your look up. Scarfs are simply fun and the cutefy an outfit. Is cutefy a word?... As an iPhone owner, I like to make sure my baby goes BTS in style as well, therefore, a new phone case is needed.

          As you can tell, most of these items make an outfit look really dressy and put together, and you're not even trying too hard! Plus, it won't hurt your wallet. Do you like these essentials? What are your BTS fashion must haves? What's the most you'd pay for an item? 

I hope you all enjoyed this post!

With Lots of Love,

Confidence Boosting Trend?♡

          2013 has been the year I've heard the term "Pop of Color" the most. I feel like every style segment on a magazine or talk show mentions it. I think that POC is a beautiful trend. I feel like it gives women a slight boost of confidence. A bold color doesn't have to be of only jeans or a blazer, it could be of a pair of earrings, or even a pair of shoes!

          With POC, I feel like it's more about the risk you're taking. You can play with it and make it your own. You could wear a bright pair of jeans and look fabulous but super laid back. Maybe use a POC with a classic color, like red. If you feel like you want to tone it down, then a bold pair of shoes is perfect for you. It's not too much, yet you still look like you took hours putting the outfit together. 

         Let's say you're an edgy girl but you want to go for a more...sophisticated look, go with your classic leather jacket but make it a light color. The edginess of the design of the jacket and the color balance out perfectly. You're using POC and still sticking with your style. 

         If I'm quite honest, POC intimidates me a little. You would think its hard to pull it off but all you need is a bright color that reflects your bright smile. Be confident. I was! Let's just say that there's a bright pair of blue jeans in my closet...

With Lots of Love,

Celeb Hair Care: Selena Gomez♡

          Selena Gomez is hands down my "hair idol!" Now, when you say that out loud it sounds ridiculous, but it's true. Selena doesn't have perfect hair, even though it looks like it, but I love the way she styles it and the colors she chooses to dye her hair with. One of my favorites was definitely the ombré look- she totally rocked it!

                                               

          As a lover of her hair, I decided to do some research on it. I feel slightly stalker-ish but I am 100% sure that I'm not the only girl in this planet that loves her hair. 

Here's what I found out:

               ~ Ms. Gomez is a frequent costumer at Nine Zero One Salon in West Hollywood, CA.

               ~ In order to obtain her voluminous thick looking hair, she uses the Great Lenght Hair Extensions from hairUwear. 

               ~ She uses Bumble and Bumble's Deeep Conditioner, Gentle Shampo: Chemically Addicted?, and Shine On (and On) Finishing Spray.

         

                                         

        I hope you enjoyed!

With Lots of Love,

Celi❤

BTS Series: Fun Notebooks♡

   http://shop.cottonon.com/shop/typo/journals/

         This past weekend I went to the mall with my mom and we decided to make a quick stop at Cotton On. Ummm...there is no such thing as a "quick stop" when going to a store. I saw these notebooks and I fell in love with them. As you can tell, I have a slight obsession with NYC and Paris. No shame! 

         I had to get one. They were just so me and I am sure they're going to keep me from falling asleep during class. But then I saw the price... Almost $7 for ONE notebook. Heck no! That's when I saw a precious little sign that said, " 4 for $10." How could I pass this amazing deal? I just couldn't. These notebooks are perfect for note-taking. I love using bight colors and highlighters so these notebooks will make it even more fun for me. They have so many designs. I'm pretty sure they have something for everyone. I posted the link below the picture so you guys would be able to check them out. I definitely recommend them. 

I don't know about you, but going back to school is bittersweet for me. I enjoy learning but I just wish that there were no projects, finals, or homework. I also wished it started way later on the day because I love my sleep. The only reason I want to go back to school is because I get to go shopping. What kind of girl would I be if I didn't enjoy it?! So I decided to start this "Back To School" (BTS) series. I will be giving my tips for studying, school fashion, beauty, ect. Stay tuned for this!

With Lots of Love,

Celi❤
