My Current Obsession: Phone Cases

Hi friends,
      I thought I'd introduce a new segment called "My Current Obsession". Basically, I'll be doing features on things that I'm totally loving that week, or day, or month. It can be specific, like a new pair of shoes, or more general, like a color or a music genre. I think it'll be fun to make, so I hope you all enjoy reading it.

     For my inaugural post, I present PHONE CASES to you as my current obsession. I find myself always looking them up online and stopping at kiosks. I want to change cases like I change my shoes everyday! I don't have quite enough for that yet, but it has been fun browsing.

My first case (Verison store):

My current case (Tilly's):

Society6 has about 100 pages worth of phone cases! (It's the one that I featured on my tapestry post.)

They are about $35 each, a little pricey compared to my current case, which was about $3 on clearance. The art is too cool to pass up, though; don't be surprised if I have that alien one soon! 

Do you have a current obsession? Are you in love with your phone case or lusting after another? Share in the  comments!!

Third Eye

Hi friends,

     During the semester I didn't have much time to take pictures for long blog posts, but I did have time for Instagram posts.

I post more frequently on Instagram than here, so I thought I'd share some looks from there :) 

Check the original Instagram posts if you are interested in where I bought the pieces I am wearing.

Just Another Band Tee

Hi friends,
     Sometimes I wish I liked more bands, so I could wear more band Tshirts...

Soft Shorts

Hi friends, 

     I am hopping on the "Soft short" bandwagon. It's too hot to wear my high waisted denim shorts with my crop tops and I don't really wear normal height pants with crops, so I hope these are the solution.

I bought them online, so fingers crossed they fit!
I'm excited!!

Walking with a Ghost

Hi friends,

     I bought new faux suede leggings from Forever 21, and they're the most comfortable things on the planet! 

What the Water Gave Me

Hi friends,

     You may remember the rain boots I posted about in a shoe feature a little while back, well my mom surprised me with them! Apparently, they were on clearance when she went back, so they were a lot cheaper than when I saw them. I loveeeeee them. My only reservation is that they're yellow and navy, when I wear a lot of black. I'd feel weird wearing them with black, but they shall be fun to experiment with!

Thanks Mom!

New Winter Boots!

Hi guys,
    I have never had a pair of real snow boots, so I'm very excited about this new buy. I don't like the snow, but it's a reality I have to deal with. Silver lining? Sorel!

I Got New Tights!

Hi friends,
     I'm swamped with work, ugh, let's not talk about it. My week was made a little better when I went to my mailbox and saw that the tights I ordered (that said they wouldn't arrive until November 18th) were there! YAY! I got them on Amazon for under 6$, and they're my new favorite thing!

    The ones I bought are on the right. Tights are very delicate, so I hate to spend more than $10 on them, just in case they are going to rip. I like this brand, Adrian, because they don't have that weird bar across the thigh, unlike my regular tights which force me to hike them up real high when I wear shorts. I like the ones I bought because of thee line down the back, adds some vintage flare. This brand had a lot of fun patterns, and I'll probably buy more soon.

Keep an ye out for them in my future outfit posts!

These Headbands Are a Steal

Hi friends,
     I went on a hunt for headbands today. Every store only seems to have the headwraps that go all the way around, which look weird with my short hair most times. Luckily, Claire's saved the day with a bunch of reasonably priced headbands. They had a whole wall of them. Some were a little too girly and young, granted it is Claire's, but sifting through the racks, I found some that were appropriate for my age and pretty cool.

(They were also buy one get half off when I got them. Yay sales!)

I purchased the top two. I'm excited to start wearing them!

Cool Items Under $20 at Topshop

Hi friends,
     Since most of my money goes toward school bills, I don't have a lot of extra money to shop at more expensive places. This doesn't mean the temptation isn't there. I still browse more expensive sites and window shop, as I'm sure many of you do too. My strategy for shopping at these stores (to find something I can actually afford) is to look at sales or accessories. Topshop is one of those stores that has a lot of expensive items, but affordable pieces can be found.

Here are some cool items for/under $20:

$12

$10

Zodiac Rings: $10

$20

Cool nails for CHEAP

Hey guys,
     When I say cheap, I'm talking $1. Yes, only a dollar for some badass nails. One of my best friends works at dollar tree, and I never paid it much attention until I started visiting her. There's some good stuff there!

Nail Jewels

More Nail Jewels

 
     My favorite discovery has been their nail section. They have falsies, nail decals, polish, etc for only a dollar! I bought Maybelline's Color Show Nail Falsies, because I figured why not. I hate ruining my nails with acrylics and I don't have the money for it anyway. This package came with 24 nails and a bunch of adhesive pieces (they kinda remind me of the sticky, rubber stuff that sticks a gift card to the cardboard paper). The adhesive worked pretty well surprisingly.

This picture's from Ebay, but you get the idea.

    At most they'll last probably 5 days, as long as you don't really do a lot haha. For me, they lasted 2 days, but that includes trips to the gym, showers, and cleaning my house. I had to replace the sticky part for 2 nails, because they fell off. That was more my fault than the brand's, because I kept pulling those ones off to reposition them.
     The ones I bought were white with reflective tips so it was hard to get a good picture with my webcam, because the reflective part kept shining and messing up the picture. I tried. I like these ones, because they were painted black underneath.

    I think these nails would be perfect for an event. If you want you nails to look hot at prom or a party or anywhere like that, they'd definitely last and are way less hassle than paying for a salon trip. I will definitely be buying some more of these in the future.
