What's in my bag? May 2013


Hey guys, 



I am so obsessed with watching the " what's in my bag/purse" type of videos on youtube. I'm not sure what it is about them that I love, but I always like to see what other girls carry with them! I guess it's nice to see what other people consider their essential bag items.

So above is everything I'm carrying right now on a day to day basis, dumped out on my floor, minus about 300 receipts, and Starbucks straw wrappers. 



 Some beauty items I always carry. I know, 4 hand sanitizers. I cannot stop myself from buying them. I can always find myself reaching for them. Three lip balms is sufficient, right? The Nivea lip balm is my new favorite, but the baby lips and Nivea cherry are so good. I always carry the nailpolish I'm currently wearing just in case of chips. This one is Revlon's " Cool Beige". A bobby-pin can always come in handy, and so does a small mirror ( the pink snowflake round thingy. Good description, right?). The small red container is actually something you may not see all that often. It's paper soap strips. I always try to carry some sort of soap( just in case you use some kind of public bathroom, and they don't have soap!). Vanilla scented body lotion never leaves my bag. The two pink bottles are both perfume. The one is a Travalo, that I have filled with MAC's Turquatic perfume, and the other is an old Paris Hilton Perfume.




Above you can tell that I'm actually a huge nerd. Yes, that is a 1935 calculator( for my business math class). Under is my favorite thing in my purse. I swear by using an agenda, and it's managed to keep me organized for the last four semesters in college. I monogrammed it with a vinyl sticker I purchased off Etsy. Two huge paperclips may seem silly, but I have a class that requires us to print out like five power-point presentations at a time, and they actually are a life saver. I'd take a mechanical pencil to a pen any day, that's why there's a couple there, but since I am in college I do actually have to grow up sometimes and use a pen. Along with a  highlighter, I keep a mini stapler and hole puncher. I told you I was a nerd.




The rest of the crap is miscellaneous. Two pairs of sunglasses, a hair tie, and loose change that I haven't yet put into that black coin purse. A gold ring, an extra contact, and ear buds. All that's left is a giftcard, my business card, and a ticket stub from the most incredible concert I've ever been to. 


And that's all of the junk I pile into my purse. I typically have my phone in there as well, along with a notebook. I use to carry my books in my purse too, but I usually will only do that if I'm carrying my longchamp tote. 

What are your purse essentials? Am I missing anything?
Let me know!
Until then, 
-K.

Just another ramble, social media this time.

Being in the world of fashion 24/7 as a student is an amazing thing. Knowing trends, forecasting, and what all the celebrities are up to is a must. In 2008 I signed up for Facebook, the ultimate social networking website. ( before that was of course myspace, and we won't discuss that because I wore zipper earrings in my profile picture..) There is a HUGE world to be explored online, and if you're reading this, you may have clicked the link off of one of my sites. And I thank you kindly for doing so.

I've been introduced to the world of beauty gurus and fashion blogs like dulcecandy.com and so many others who inspire me on a daily basis. I find myself looking to ready daily posts instead of watching garbage reality tv ( don't get me wrong, I love Scott disick as much as any other girl) because I can learn about fashion not only across the country, but across the globe.

My top 5 YouTube gurus currently:
- sarahbelle93x
- itsjudytime
- dulcecandy87
- zoella & sprinkleofglitter
- akaydoll

Most of these women are my age, if not older, and are not only extremely popular on YouTube, but most run blogs and are noticed on social media as well. It's an incredible platform.

My social media contacts:

Instagram: @kristendari

Who are your favorite bloggers?
Let me know, I'd love to read some new ones!
Until then,

I love spring TAG!

Oh hey, 

As a YouTube beauty guru obsessed girl, I have been watching a ton of these I heart Spring tag videos lately. I've decided to do my own little blog post on my Spring favorites!


Here are the questions..

1. Favorite spring nail polish?

- I'm guilty of wearing dark nails year round, but some of my brighter favorites that I lean towards in the fall are : Essie mint candy apple, Essie Lady Like, Butter London Trout pout, and Zoya Megan.

2. What is your must-have lip color this spring?

- Currently, I am obsessed with the Revlon kissable lip balm stains. My favorite is Smitten, shown in the selfie above.

3. Show us your favorite spring dress!

-I don't typically wear dresses until late spring, early fall! I'll post some OOTD's wearing them in the future :)

4. What's your favorite flower?

-I love sunflowers more than I love anything. I have two tattooed on my left foot :) But I also have been recently loving hydrangeas as well.

5. Favorite spring scarf/accessory?
-My Kate Spade kelly green top zip clutch is a must, as well as my Michael Kors tortoise watch. 




6. What spring trend(s) are you most excited about this year? (Makeup, fashion or both!)
-I love the preppy trend. I am actually obsessed. I've been monogramming everything. 

7. Favorite spring candle?

-Bath and body works Market Peach candle. Oh my god. There are NO words.

8. Favorite body spray/perfume for spring
?
- My go-to perfume has and always will be Dolce and Gabbana's light blue. MAC turquatic is really amazing too. For body sprays, I love the Victoria's secret (PINK) Fresh and clean all over body mist.

9. What is spring like where you live?

- As of right now I live in New York, and it doesn't really start to feel like Spring until mid May. But I like colder weather, so I don't mind.

10. What's your favorite thing about spring?

- I love that on a daily basis, you don't have to wear pounds of clothing. Any day that I don't have to wear 10 jackets is a good day for me. Don't get me wrong, I love an over sized sweater as much as the next girl, but sometimes it's a bit much.

11. Are you a spring cleaner?

- Yes and no. Yes, when I want to be. No, when I'd rather sleep.
12. Any plans for spring break or an upcoming vacation?
- My spring break already passed in school, but I'm going away next month which should be a breath of fresh air.



And that's the tag! 

What are your favorite spring trends this year?
What are trends that you absolutely cannot stand?
Let me know!
Until then,
-K.
