Bonjour!

(sorry for the bad quality, I didn't set up my camera before my step brother shot these :/ )

Hey everyone, long time aye!? Yeah I know I've been slacking at updating my blog, but I finally got my laptop back and now hopefully I can update more often! Its the end of the term which means I've been focusing a lot on keeping my grades high and completing my school work, that is another reason I've kind of been MIA lately. But enough of why my personal life has got me slacking and lets get to the good stuff, I mean; that is why your visiting my site right?
P.S. What do you think of my new haircut? I got bangs!!!

Goodbye January

I can't believe January is seriously already over?! Well when the clock strikes midnight it will be at least :P This month has gone by so fast, I really hope the rest of the year doesn't follow the same path. But looking back, January treated me just fine. I'm doing great in school, focusing a lot on my fashion portfolio, I have an amazing boyfriend whom I love dearly and have been through so much with, and I'm actually starting to get a hang of this whole blogging lifestyle. I mean its really hard being a full time student trying to keep your grades steady, having a job, a social life, and still keep up with a blog. Its hard work!
Anyways, click the link below to see more of what I actually wore Friday night to dinner with Dan (my boyfriend), his mom and little brother. We went to Olive Garden and it was DELISHHH!!! ;)
Enjoy!

EUROPE!!!!

So I've officially started planning my trip to Europe next summer, I know I know its a tad bit early to be actually planning my trip since I can't book anything a year and a half in advance, but what I really mean is that I've started to save up. I'm going to be traveling all throughout Europe; I have a few cities that I know I'm going to see, but since I've never been overseas before, I wanted to ask all of my European followers, or followers who have been to Europe before, what some MUST SEE places are. (including cities, restaurants, shops, attractions, ANYTHING!! 

Can't wait to hear from you all!

All of my Beauty Needs

So I've been wanting to do a beauty post for awhile now but  sort of procrastinated doing it, lol. Anyways, its not much, but just some of the basic and main things I use on an everyday basis; I also included links to where you can get each of these products just in case you wanna snatch somethin up!
Enjoy ;-)

Behind the Scenes...

John Napoli and Jenn Lea

Hey everyone! I wanted to share some behind the scenes photos with you from the SuperShoots event in Peoria this past weekend. I had so much fun seeing everyone from HTL again, and meeting some pretty amazing new people. Everyone is so nice and friendly, its hard to leave not feeling like a big happy family. lol :P
I just want to thank Kristie, JT, all of the beautiful and talented models, photographers, MUAs and hair dressers who made this all possible.

Enjoy;)
