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.

Who else is as excited for the fall as I am?! Transitioning pieces from season to season is something I love trying to do to keep my favorite pieces around. Keep your destroyed denim shorts, floral maxi dresses, hi low skirts, and floral denim in your closet and transition them into fall with some awesome (and some of my favorite) fall pieces.

Destroyed denim shorts by kayladoop featuring denim shorts

Everyone loves their favorite pair of high waisted denim cut offs, so why rid them so early? Pair your favorites with thigh high socks, printed loafers, and a quilted cross body bag. Keep yourself warm with a fatigue jacket and add a little sass with a red lip (the perfect touch)!

Floral maxi dress by kayladoop featuring skinny belts

Many people think a floral maxi dress is for the summer only but it's easily warmed up with a denim jacket, a beanie and some combat boots. Complete this girly/edgy look with a belt, some fun gold jewelry and a leather backpack.

The maxi skirt by kayladoop featuring rick owens jacket

The hi-low skirt was such a hit this summer, don't give up on it now! Wear it with a pop colored boyfriend tee, some studded moto boots and an awesome leather jacket. I think this canvas tote is a great way to dress it down with a cool graphic. Don't forget to add some rings! A lot of them!

Printed jeans by kayladoop featuring flower print jeans

How awesome are floral jeans? I can't get enough! Wearing bright printed jeans this fall is easily done. Tone the colors down with some taupe pieces like a cross over sweater and some suede booties. Add somes gold cuffs, black polish and a burgundy bag for some fall color fun. This look has to be my favorite summer to fall transition and nothing tops it off like a wool floppy hat (my favorite accessory for this season) does!

FALL HURRY UP!

As some of you may know I am currently on my way to Portugal! Well, the beautiful island of Sao Miguel, Acores. My mother and I decided a month ago to take a last minute, much needed trip to Portugal. I haven't been in nine years and she hasn't been in five. Her mother (my grandmother) is there and tons of my aunts, uncles and cousins whom I have not seen in almost a decade. So naturally, I am very excited. Plus, the shopping in Portugal >>>>>>>>.

If you know me, read my blog, or have any idea of the kind of person I am, you can probably imagine how difficult packing is for me (only because I want to take EVERYTHING). I somehow managed to pack (and stay under the 50 pound limit, yes!) and successfully pack a carry on as well. So, I thought I'd share with you what I'm bringing for a carry on and what I'm bringing in it. Enjoy!

For my carry on I chose my Marc by Marc Jacobs New Army Tote. Although it's not the most comfortable bag to carry on it's heavy duty, can hold a lot, and it's super cute. I wish it had a long cross body strap though, that would really help a lot. Though, I think the updated version of it comes with one (just my luck)!

In my bag I included :

Two pairs of sunglasses (Ray Ban Wayfarers and Prada Baroques). I couldn't decide which to wear plus didn't want to risk throwing them in my check in luggage.
My MAC Tartan Tale plaid bag to put in all my toiletries.
A small body of body spray from Victoria's Secret (under 2 oz.), which I later threw in a clear zip lock bag.
Outlet converter (for the European outlets).
Compact mirror.
Nikon d80 camera (not shown in photos because I used it to take photo...).
Laptop charger.
Phone charger/iPod charger.
Cellphone (with my staple bunny ears case, obviously).
Laptop.
Passport case ($3.95 from H&M, I love the minty green color).
Imodium AD (Anti diarea medicine), sorry if that's too much information but I have the WORST stomach ever and I always get sick at ALL the wrong times.
iPod and headphones.
Gum (for ear popping).
Hand sanitizer (under 1 oz.).
fresh SUGAR lip treatment.
Small lint roller (I bring one EVERYWHERE).
Lipstick case (that my sister got me from London, how cute is that?).
Panty liners.
Tampons.
A million hair ties.
Bandaids.
A small package of tissues.
Vera Bradley Night Owl cosmetic bag and brush bag (filled with my cosmetics and brushes in case I need to touch up before landing).

The only thing missing from my carry on is a good read, whether it be a magazine or book. But I'm making sure to pick one or two at the airport. Well, wish me luck! I hate airplanes and this six hour delay isn't helping. Airports are cool though, I got to watch some of the NBA draft while I was here, excited about Austin Rivers getting drafted and OKC's picks this year.

Summer's here and let's be honest we are all showing a lot of skin. This is the season where feeling good in your own skin is super important. I know that in the summer if my skin is looking good then I'm feeling really great about it. So I came up with a list of some of my favorite summer care products that get me through the heat and keep me feeling fresh! Hope this helps!

Favorite Summer Care Products by kayladoop featuring a lip treatment

1. Laura Mercier oil free tinted moisturizer with spf 20 is summer's best alternative to your liquid foundation. It has the coverage you need to cover enough your blemishes yet it is light enough for summer weather. It's a moisturizer so it obviously keeps your face feeling soft and fresh, and there's nothing better than a little spf 20 on your face all day long. Add a little bit of powder over this to add a little extra coverage and to keep it in place.

2. Fresh SUGAR lip treatment rules! This stuff keeps your lips feeling so hydrated and so soft you won't want to stop applying it. It also comes in different tints if you want to add a little bit of color to your lips.

3. EOS cucumber hand lotion not only keeps your skin feeling soft and smelling fresh, it comes in the cutest and most compact packaging.

4. Lush's Silk Stocking body tint is the perfect way to give your skin a natural looking tint and glow. It also comes in a darker tint for already golden skin that wants an extra bronze to it. It also keeps your skin feeling smooth and hydrated. I love using this on my legs!

5. Lush's lip scrub is a year round savior! It gives you the perfect smooth lips that you have always wanted and allows your lipstick to look flawless by keeping you away from that crackling lips look.

6. EOS lip balms are my forever favorite and the 'Lemon Drop' is just the right kick for the summer. The cute yellow packaging doesn't hurt either ;).

7. Lush's No Drought dry shampoo is my companion for the summer. There's nothing worse than a little bit of oily hair ruining your look or having to wash your hair just to get rid of that greasy look. This stuff will help get that grease out of your roots and keep your hair looking fresh longer without having to constantly wash it all summer long. It doesn't smell bad either!

What are your summer must have beauty/care products?
