Road Trip OOTD | May 30, 2014

Road Trip OOTD


So it's Fashion Friday here on my little blog. I figured I would do a quick OOTD post. I'm about to go on a road trip to Dallas to spend the weekend with my sister, her husband, and their two kids. Dallas is 4 hours away from me and although a lot of people will be like "Wow! That's so far!", it's really not. Living in Texas makes you kind of immune to distances and such because everything is so far away. I have also driven 15+ hours with my friend (a couple of times it was 30 hours), so 4 hours is a piece of cake. :)


Outfit:
Top- Texas top from Cotton On
Cardigan- Cotton On
Shorts- Charlotte Russe High-Waisted shorts
Hat- Bowler/Fedora hat from eBay
Shoes- White converse from Kohl's

 
Makeup:
Eyebrows- Lancome Powder Pencil in Taupe
Eyeliner- Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Eyeliner
Mascara- Maybelline the Rocket Volum' Express
Eyeshadow- Smashbox Full Exposure Palette (M2 & M3)
Concealer- Revlon Colorstay in 01 Fair & Maybelline Instant Age Rewind in Fair
Foundation- Maybelline BB Cream in Light
Powder- Maybelline Fit Me in 110 Fair
Bronzer- Wet 'N Wild in Ticket to Brazil
Blush- E.L.F in Peachy cheeky
Lips- Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm in 201 Unapologetic


I did upload a YouTube video about this outfit. Maybe go sneak a peek? 


In the comments below, let me know what you wear on road trips :)

Thanks for reading.

Fun Day at the Park | March 14, 2014

Day at the Park

Today is just a quick post. I'm in Dallas visiting my sister, her husband, and their two daughters. Today, while my sister was at work, my brother-in-law and I took the girls to the park down the road. It was such a beautiful day. Not too hot, and not too cold.

We took a kite to the park and got little Ellie (she's 2 years old) to fly it. It was so cute. Here's a couple of my favorite photos from today. :)

I Got A Tattoo!

Monday, February 24, 2014

 Tattoo Time!

Hey everyone! I got a new tattoo the other day (February 21). I got it before I went to the Paradise Fears concert in Dallas that I talked about in my last blog post. I got my tattoo at Tigger's Body Art, it's across the street from The Prophet Bar. I went with my friend, Jamie, who also got a tattoo. My artist was Jake, who was super nice and really helpful (even though I was being somewhat difficult with the design/size/placement). Their prices aren't outrageous either, which is always a plus.

Tattoo meaning: The feather is representative of an angel wing. It's for all of the relatives and friends that I have lost. It's definitely a tattoo that has a lot of meaning to me.

If I am ever back in Dallas, I will definitely be going back to Tigger's.

Thanks for reading. xx

Paradise Fears Battle Scars Acoustic & In the Round Tour Review | February 20-21, 2014

Sunday, February 23, 2014

Sam Miller (lead singer) and Michael Walker (keyboard)
Paradise Fears Battle Scars Acoustic & In the Round Tour

Shows I went to: 
Houston- 2/20 at House of Blues in the Bronze Peacock
Dallas- 2/21 at The Prophet Bar in The Door
 
I've been a fan of Paradise Fears for over 2 years now and this tour has been unlike any other that I have been to. You can tell a lot of thought was put into how the show would be laid out. The stage is set in the middle of the room with the crowd surrounding it. You are then encouraged to get as close to the stage as possible, but being mindful and courteous to the bands on stage. (So no grabbing/pulling the band members... *winks*) This is certainly different than any other tour they've done. Usually there are barricades and space between the crowd and the stage (for protection, of course). I really loved how intimate the Houston show was. We were the smallest crowd of the tour so far, but it was really nice.

For the Houston show, I was lucky enough to be right up against the stage between Jordan Merrigan (guitar) and Cole Andre (vocals/guitar). I was able to get some really nice pictures (Check them out!). The venue was somewhat large, but because of the small crowd, it looked ginormous. This was good for the post-show meet and greet as there as a lot of room to move around/spread out. The Prophet Bar in Dallas was incredibly small and the layout was not very well thought out. The show was held in the smaller room (The Door). For this show, I wasn't in the crowd. I was mainly hanging out at the merch table with my friend and then I went to the crowd to try to take some nice pictures, although the lighting was terrible and I wasn't able to get any (*sad face*). Another thing that's different than any other tour Paradise Fears has done is that they pull up one lucky fan to sing with Sam to the song Yours Truly. I know other bands have done this (or just pulled someone on stage and sang to them), but Paradise Fears hasn't ever done that before. I don't think it would have gone as well if the tour hadn't been set up like it was.

The highlight of the tour for me was when Paradise Fears covered 'Hallelujah' because four out of six of the members sang. Sam and Cole obviously sang, Michael also sang during the song, and then Sam gave Jordan the mic and oh my goodness. I have never heard Jordan sing with as much passion as he did during this song. It was easily my favorite part of the entire show. I get chills just thinking about it.

Overall, the show is fantastic and definitely worth the $25 ticket price. If you live in Arizona, they will be playing at the Nile Underground in Mesa today (February 23). Y'all should definitely go check them out if you can.

Rest of the tour dates:
February 23 // Nile Underground // Mesa, AZ 
February 25 // Chain Reaction // Anaheim, CA 
February 26 // Assembly // Sacramento, CA
February 27 // Kilby Court // Salt Lake City, UT
