Dear Diary..♥

Hey Everyone!

I'm back from New York City and just decided to write a quick post about my experience. So all the places I visited:

Times Square

Fifth Avenue

34th Street

City Lights Tour

Statue of Liberty

Central Park

Mary Poppins Broadway Show

Brooklyn Bridge

Chinatown

I explored some small parts of the city too. But, let me tell you, it was so overwhelming, exciting, and crazy! The people were indeed so interesting and so were all the sights! I miss it so much and need to go back!

On some different notes, please, please, please enter my giveaway! It's super easy to enter and I'll love you if you do. Click right HERE

And notice that my poll on the side is closed. Looks like foundation is the number one beauty product most people can't live without. I chose lip gloss. Haha, I just find lip gloss so fun and there's many different varieties. But, I need a question for my next poll! Any ideas???? (:

Sorry about all the rambling :P

I'll have NYC photos up sometime this week, so stay tuned!

New York City, Here I Come! ♥ +Update

Okay, so I just wanted to let you all know that tomorrow morning, my dream is officially coming true.

I'm Going to NYC!

Sorry for shouting. I'm just so excited that I can hardly breathe. I've wanted to go to New York for like ever and my dad has booked a weekend trip just for the two of us. Quality time with the dad. And to think I thought my summer was over. The only bad part is I have to fly on a plane and I hate flying it scares me so much! But Starbucks and a good book= a great flight. Anyways, my dad planned out what we're going to do and I just want to share it with you! Just to let you know, it's going to be a little jumbled up.

Friday: Fly to New York City and get settled in our hotel in Times Square. Then we grab a bite to eat at this cafe and stroll along 5th Avenue. (I might take a peek inside the stores and buy a thing or two) Then we have a free dinner at a really fancy hotel restaurant. After we eat, we take a City Lights tour around the city to see all the amazing and sparkly lights!

Saturday: Wake up early to take a tour of the Statue of Liberty. Just the outside of it, since indoor tickets were like sold out! After that, we are taking a carriage ride around Central Park. Six o'clock, we have a dinner booked somewhere. After dinner, we go to a Broadway Show, although I'm not sure which one yet, since we still have to choose.

Sunday: Chill out for a little bit. Hang out around the city. Catch a flight home.

So much to do! But, I'm still so excited! Everything I've dreamed of doing there. Now, I just have to finish packing and get ready to wake up extra early tomorrow.

I will most likely not be updating the blog in NYC. I'll be updating next week sometime about my trip, so stay tuned!

Aside from this post, don't forget to enter my giveaway here. Deadline is September 10th and entry is easy!

My Top 3 Fave Fashion Magazines ♥

#1 Seventeen Magazine

My number one favorite fashion magazine would definitely be Seventeen. It's for teens and probably everybody, but there's so many amazing clothes, makeup, fashion, and so many easy tips for a beautiful look. There are also real life teens that model, so it doesn't make you feel inferior. I get Seventeen every month and I'm always so happy to receive it (:

#2 Glamour

My second favorite would be Glamour. I just started buying the issues two months ago, and it's a very mature magazine, but it's also very fun. There's a lot of fun info to read, and it's just very glamorous (:

#3 Elle

My last favorite would be Elle. It's a really mature magazine. There's so many designer ads and sophisticated clothing and tips. I really do like it (:

Tell me your favorite fashion magazine(s) (:

Fashion Photo of the Day ♥

You may have noticed that I've been doing a lot of photos of the day. I don't know why, but I just find simple photos so much fun! When I saw this, I found it really cute, but also mysterious. The cute, floral dress is only shown a bit and you don't know who it is, what everything is. But, all in all, I really like this picture. (:

What are your thoughts on this photo? (:

Beauty of your Dreams ♥

Have you felt yourself dreaming of your future often? Wondering if the present will stay the same. The hard work you do, all the hardships, people bringing you down. Sometimes, you just want to give up on your dreams. But, if you really think about it, once you succeed, the past no longer matters in the future. ♥

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. ♥

~Eleanor Roosevelt

What is your biggest dream you believe in? (:

Outfit of the Day: A Beautiful Day Out ♥

I decided to do an outfit of the day. Today, I'm probably hanging out with my mom and one of my older sisters and we're going out to the mall, the hair salon, and Starbucks. I put this whole outfit together, and decided to just post in on the blog. Here's some pics (:

For makeup to go with this outfit, I chose a very light bronze eyeshadow, mascara, natural foundation from Bare Minerals, and a light pink lip gloss.

Pink Cardigan: Wet Seal

Light Gray Tank: Abercrombie

Light Blue Jean Shorts: Abercrombie

Key and Heart Necklace: Vanity
