You think you're cooler than me.

Spent this Friday at home catching up on homework and resting after two looong and stressful weeks. I didn't even bother to put in my contacts! I would have stayed in my PJ's all day if it weren't for a sushi run with my mom. It did, however, give me a chance to wear out my new cropped sweatshirt that I'm in love with.

Hope all my American readers are having a lovely Memorial Day weekend!
...and everyone else...
Have an amazing weekend anyways!

Review // LuShae Jewelry

An exciting first for Style Phenomenon!
This week I was given the opportunity to review a piece of jewelry from LuShae Jewelry, and online boutique based in Australia.
After browsing the site I selected the Branch Wrapped Shell Pearl Ring and it showed up on my doorstep two days later in a cute little box. The online photos were beautiful, but in person it is truly magnificent. The pearl is beautifully smooth and glossy and set extremely securely within the silver branches that wrap around it. The design is gorgeous, I'm a sucker for anything nature inspired and I've never seen anything quite like this.

Also, I was super excited to see that they carry rings down to a size 5 because those can be really hard for me to find.

Here are a few of my other favorites for you to check out:
Multi Color Cocktail Ring
Azul Antique Classic Ring
Faces of the Moon Ring
Black and White Necklace

If I had more time I'd tag each item but with the massive pile of homework waiting for me I'm lucky to sneak this in.

Robin Hood Meets Slytherin

While dream wardrobe online shopping last night (a favorite past time of mine by the way), I came across Robert Lee Morris' jewelry collection for Elizabeth and James. I love the snakes and arrows as well as all the swirly chunky rings.

Too cool for words.

I've been wanting to do an outfit post for awhile but lack of inspiration, time, and a proper place for taking pictures made me keep putting it off. Well my little white box arrived from Urban Outfitters today so I cheered up a bit. My sister and I went to see The Ugly Truth after my dance rehearsal and here's what I wore:

dress: Truly Madly Deeply
vest: Hi Styles Discounts :P
bracelets: UO and street vendor
shoes: Steve Madden

Please excuse the bad photo angles and my messy room. I am seriously lacking a good backdrop for any kind of outfit photos, but I'm going to see if I can find a place tomorrow or rearrange things.

The shoes from my last post have got me desperate for finding some ways to make money. A consistent job is out of the question at the time, so I'm thinking I will sell some old clothes on Ebay. Last time I did, I made just over $130. Anyone else have any Ebay success stories?

Weekend Rewind

So...I took the plunge and dyed and cut my hair. I am so glad I did...it's a huge change but I absolutely love it. If you can believe it, this is the first time I've had bangs in my entire life. Definitely going to take some getting used to.

My sister and I spent the afternoon shopping at Downtown Disney at Sephora and Fossil. My sis bought OPI polish in Mermaid to Order, Just Another Fairy-Tale, and one more pretty blue shade I can't remember the name of. For myself I got Benefit lipstick in Rush Hour. To top it all off we saw The Proposal which was incredibly
funny.

Finally, I took advantage of Urban Outfitters huge sale section and ordered the following:

Best of all, each piece was $14.99 or less. :)

If I had a million dollars

I would spend part of it on an entire drawer of Pamela Love jewelry. I love and would without a doubt wear every piece in her collections, however, my ultimate favorite is the super rad eagle claw bracelet. Everything is delicate without looking fragile, and it represents nature without looking cutesy or kitschy. Not only is she an amazing artist but she has awesome style too. That seems to go hand in hand quite often.

P.S. I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow! I'm pretty sure I'm dyeng it darker brown and getting bangs. I'll post pictures if I like it :P
