The Closet Warrior

Fashion Survey

1. How would you describe your style? A mix of girly looks with edgy pieces or edgy looks with girly pieces.
2. What are your top three favorite stores? As of late Zara, ASOS, and Nasty Gal.
3. What is your least favorite store? It would be hard for me to pin point a "least" favorite store. There are lots of places I don't shop at.
4. What is considered "trendy" in your area? There are TONS of trends right now. I think the most popular trends in my area right now are just the basic summer trends: cropped tops, high waisted shorts/skirts, leather, muscle tees, wavy hair, braids, crotchet, etc.
5. Who is your style icon? It's so hard for me to choose a style icon because my style and other's styles are constantly changing but as of late I've been loving: Rihanna, Iggy, J Law, Rachel Bilson, blogger Madame derosa, and Kourtney and Kim Kardashian.
6. What is the most you have ever spent on an article of clothing? The most I've ever spent on an article of clothing I think was probably $350 boots.
7. What is your favorite article of clothing? Right now my favorite items in my wadrobe are probably my leather jackets and my new Zara skort (I have yet to wear).
8. Do you match your shoes to your outfit? I make sure they match/look good with my outfit yes, but I don't color coordinate/over match.

Beauty Survey
1. Do you wear makeup regularly? Yes.
2. What are your top three beauty brands? MAC, Nars and Benefit.
3. What is your least favorite beauty brand? I tend to stay away from Covergirl.
4. Do you have a signature makeup look? Yup: it's a flawless foundation face, heavy on the blush, winged eyeliner, and a bold lipstick.
5. Do you have a favorite lip gloss? I cant remember the last time I wore lip gloss.
6. How many beauty products do you think you own? I have no idea honestly.
7. Do you put a lot of products in your hair? Barely. If I use anything in my hair as of late it's products out of the John Frieda Luxurious Volume line.
8. How long does it take you to do your makeup and hair? If I have to shower/blow dry my hair, all together it takes any hour.
9. What is your biggest makeup pet peeve? On myself? When I can't get a flawless foundation application or my brush hairs get all over my face. On other? Bad eyeliner, over shaded brows and blotchy foundation/bronzer.
10. What is your favorite perfume? Daisy by Marc Jacobs and Fame by Lady Gaga

Just thought I'd share some pieces I love right now and that I'd love to add to my wardrobe this spring/summer. What's your favorite piece on my wish list and what's on yours?

ZARA:

This skort from Zara is to DIE for. I have seen it all over tumblr and I need to get my legs in this hott piece this summer. I can't decide between the white or the blue, I may need both.

This black cross body bag is the perfect cary all. The minute I saw Courtney from thestyleplaylist wearing this in brown, I knew I had to add the black one to my wish list.

Boyfriend jeans are a must this year and this perfect pair isn't too far from my budget thanks to Zara. These would look fantastic with heels for night time and some strappy sandals for day time.

NASTY GAL:

Although my wardrobe doesn't NEED a new pair of heels I am lacking a pop color pump and this red is fierce and the buckle straps are hot hot hot.

LF:

Ever since I saw these sandals on the LF instagram I have not stopped thinking about them. I can't help but think they are the perfect sandal to wear with everything and anything all summer long. Jeffrey Campbell always makes SOMETHING that wins me over, this season, this is it.

BRANDY MELVILLE:

UNIF:

If there's a perfect jacket for spring: this is is. A transparent moto jacket, can't go wrong with that.

There are NO words for Rooney Mara in this head to toe Givenchy look. She completely murdered it. She looks absolutely stunning: her hair, her dark lip, the dress, the shoes, PERFECT. This dress is absolutely gorgeous and the details are all amazing amazing amazing. She is definitely my best dressed vote for the Met Ball, no doubt about it.

Cary Mullin looks super chic in this Balenciaga dress and I think her hair and makeup is minimal and perfect. I love the cut outs and gold utility detailing on this LBD. Though not very "punk" I do love this look.

Jennifer Lawrence always impresses me. I think this Christian Dior tea length dress is perfect for the occasion and the red lip and hair net looks spectacular on her. She is such a beauty. The Brian Atwood spiked heels add the little touch of edge she needed for this look to go from classy to "punk".

This Stella McCartney head to toe look looks amazing on Kristen Stewart. I think this color is absolutely gorgeous on her and her makeup is perfect. She really got it right this time. I love this from head to toe.

Olivia Wilde is such a DIME PIECE. Her body looks killer in this.

I love this Valentino gown on Gwyneth. The sheer stripe adds the perfect touch to this long sleeved dress. The color is just fabulous on her and I think her hair pulled back into a pony is super cute.

Julianne Houghs looks amazing in this Topshop dress! Such a perfect dress for the theme and her hair and Giuseppe Zanotti heels top off the look.

Solange looks beautiful in this dress and her hair and makeup are perfect. I love it!

This Carolina Herrera dress hugs Minka Kelly's body in all the right places. The jeweled shoulders are stunning and I absolutely adore her braid and makeup. She is glowing from head to toe.

This Monique Lhuillier custom made look is killer on Nina Dobrev. She looks unbelievable badass and hott! Although, I would have loved to see her hair styled differently (not loving this flippy bangs look). Regardless this look is fantastic and perfect for the "punk" theme.

Taylor, I can't stand you but you look fabulous in this J Mendel gown. This look is something fresh for her. Her hair is different than most red carpets and I think it looks amazing. She really does look great. Ugh, we still are never ever ever getting back together though.

Last, and least there's Miley Cyrus. I love you Miley, but I have no words for this look. You took this theme to the level it should not have gone to. This mesh dress is doing nothing for your amazing body and that hair belongs on Billy Joel and the rest of Green Day. Please go back to the Miley we all know and love, you are SO much better than this!

What looks were your favorite and least favorite?
