Update

I have been itching to do a blog post for a few weeks now but I didn't know what I wanted to write about. I haven't been buying clothes or makeup for a few months now (a few essentials here and there but nothing fancy). Mostly because I feel like I have enough (mind you my makeup or clothing collection is no where near comparable to most bloggers out there).

It was nice taking a break from everything and just focusing on working and hanging out with friends/family. I will be starting law school in August so I have been busy looking for roommates, apartments, saving up money for books, etc. I shall be reunited with my sister in less than a week and then hopefully have some fun adventures with her this summer and *fingers crossed* we shall blog about it! For now I shall leave you with a few pictures of the fun I have had with my homies! Lol. Until next time!

Unboxing Tory Burch "Reva" Ballet Flats & Review

If you have ever heard of Tory Burch normally the first thing to come to mind are her iconic ballet flats. I have been eyeing these babies for more than a year but the $200 ($195+tax) always held me back. Well I finally decided to spoil myself when I got a Bloomingdale's coupon in my mailbox and decided to pick them up.

 

I expected the box to be a bit more fancy feeling and less "cardboardy" but I wasn't in it for the box. *DRUMROLL followed by GASPS* 

I decided to get the black with gold hardware because they just looked more impressive than the silver ones. They have these flats in some other colors as well, but I just wanted to go with the black classic ones because they are what I will wear more often and they will match basically everything.

The flats were very soft and comfortable when I tried them on and walked around in my house. I read some reviews that said they were uncomfortable and need to be broken in but they haven't given me any blisters yet. Maybe when I wear them for an extended period of time. I'll keep you guys updated. 

***QUICK UPDATE: I have realized that wearing these shoes for more than 3-4 hours hurts my toes especially if I am doing a lot of walking. So, I would not recommend these flats for an "everyday shoe" but rather for short trips out, or if you will be sitting in class or at work you can get away with them***

They have a slight heel so they are not completely flat like true ballet flats but I like that anyway. They have the scrunched up back which might be uncomfortable if I wore them for an extended period of time but again I shall keep you updated.They fit very true to size. I normally wear a 6.5 and that is the size I ordered and have no complaints. Be careful if you have a wider foot though, I think they might be tight for people with a wider foot. I recommend trying them on in store before purchasing. Bloomingdale's has a good return policy and you can return or exchange withing one year of purchase date.

All in all it's a gorgeous pair of flats which I know I will get a lot of wear out of so that is how I am justifying the price. I ended up paying around $144.50 USD for the shoes. I'd probably still be eyeing them had I not received a coupon for 30% off any purchase + free shipping from Bloomingdales! If you have been eyeing them, I definitely recommend them.

Nailing the Glitter

I am in love with anything glittery and decided I wanted to put some on my nails.

I came up with this simple style using glitter nail polish on your ring finger for a polished and elegant look in my opinion.

It looks cute without trying too hard or going overboard on the glitter. (and we all know hard glitter nail polish is to remove)

On my nails I am wearing Revlon Red and the glitter polish is from a brand called Julep

What's your fav. Way to add some glitz to your style?

Xoxo Rahmi.

Maybelline Mega Plush Mascara Review

Maybelline makes awesome mascaras as we all know, such as the infamous falsies mascara, and recently they have released a new mascara called the mega plush mascara. I was definitely drawn to this mascara because it has plush in its name, and the advertisements kept endorsing how volumizing this mascara is, and I LOVE THICK LASHES. I don't care much for length I like my lashes as thick as they can be :)

One thing I am not fond of about this mascara is the wand. It is so flimsy
and not sturdy enough to get a really nice thick coat, for my liking at least.

This is an image of my eyelashes before applying mascara 

These two images above show the length and thickness of my lashes afterusing the maybelline plush mascara

 Overall this mascara is around 6-9 dollars and can be found in various drugstores, and I would give it a 5/10. It is nothing spectacular, nor is it a waste, but I shall not be repurchasing and I wouldn't recommend it to others. If you want a thick mascara go for L'oreal Voluminous, or try maybelline falsies :)

Forever 21 purchase :)

Recently me and my sister were browsing the forever 21 website and well...we caved, and bought some items, even though we swore to not shop for at least two months. However we picked up items that were all under 25 dollars, so I mean hey we are compensating for our "shopping ban" :D aha

 The only item here we bought from forever 21 is the white cardigan (I just decided to wear it the very day I got it :P) The cardigan is long, light yet warm enough.

Price: $14.50

This chiffon button down was a must have for us when we first saw it, and the neckline is so adorable. 

Price: $23.50 

Yes...another chiffon button down we are a bit obsessed. Its polka dot and oh so feminine.

 Price: $16.50 

 This denim shirt is really adorable, however it does not fit either of us properly since it is medium. On the bright side our mother loves it so its hers now :D  

Price: $23.00

 Heart ring: $4.50

Jeweled earring: $3.80
