I'm still here!

Hey guys, sorry about not posting for a few days. I already feel so behind :( But fortunately the reason is because I've been busy with a lot of projects which means lots of new posts! :) The one that has been taking more time than I planned is a suitcase DIY. As soon as I finish I'll be posting pics of that. So you can look forward to that and... I kind of went on an accidental shopping spree. :) Lol oops... Good news for the blog though 'cause that means outfit posts!

So here's a little sneak peek of some of my new stuff (and old new things that are finally getting pulled out of the closet!)

1. Green button up tunic (tied at the waist): Forever21 $11.80

2. Dark skinny jeans (cuffed): Old Navy on sale $19.50

3. Leopard flats: Clothes Avenue $14.99

4. Gold chain necklace: Forever21

Denim cropped vest! (Forever21 $17.80) I'm really excited about this piece. There's so many ways to wear it.

1. Yellow top: F21 $11.50

2. Feather necklace: F21 $4.80 (or $5.80?)

3. Taupe Maxi dress: F21 $15.50 

4. Beaded turquoise necklace: Kohl's (last I checked it was about $14 on sale, might be less now!)

5. Neon yellow bag: Old Navy on sale for 10.99

And these here are my Dolce Vita Cheetah suede oxfords. See that pop of color at the bottom? Well, that there is why I had to have them. Found these as I was passing through Macy's and happened to have a coupon to put to use. Gotta love coupons. So excited to wear these and will definitely being doing an outfit post.  A lot of people think something like this can be hard to wear but I'll give you guys some examples of how easy it really is and I promise you, you'll be on the hunt for your own cheetah oxfords :)

Okay, lastly these are some finds from TJMaxx that I plan on doing some fun project tutorials on. So look forward to that too! 

Can't wait to show you everything all put together! Have a great and productive day everybody! 

Talk to you later! :)

Room Redo: Part 1

Okay so I've always been one to reorganize my whole life at least every month and redo my room as often as possible. And this is just another one of those times. I'm really excited with the progress of my room! I need to get it organized before school starts since I'm going to be home for a little longer than I planned. Part 1 is of my vanity area. I have tried and tried again to organize a nice spot to keep makeup and my accessories all in one area and I think I've finally got something I like. So, here's a few pictures to show where I'm at right now.  More to come soon ")

Items used:

1. Repainted mirror found in our garage

2. Ikea shelf, baskets and basket weave boxes

3. Thrift store finds: white vases, tin for my bobby pins and glass bowl for my rings

4. Small jewelry box gifted

5. Dollar Store flowers

First posts are hard. So much I can start with but which makes sense?  I guess my name would be a good one. I'm Shanae.

..And that's all I got..

Haha. Just kiiiding. So, I've decided that in order to introduce myself I should just add a visual that represents me pretty well. And with that, I chose this picture.

I think this photo from my family's Tahoe trip last year represents me in the following distinctive ways:

1. Im casual. Hence my converse.

2. I like bright colors. Hence my nails.

3. I love photography. Hence.. well the picture.

4. I love sunlight. Hence the sun reflecting off my not so tan leg.

5. I like Star Wars. Hence I swear that rock by the water on the right side looks like Yoda missing his left ear.

6. I like adventures like climbing down off the road out onto steep rocks over a rushing river and balance on one leg, throw out a peace sign with one hand and take a pic with nikon in the other.

and lastly

7. (My favorite number) I like a lot of other stuff too. Hence, there's still more to me than what you see in this picture. 

So, with this blog I plan to share all my other interests and somehow organize all the clutter I have in mind. Let's see how it goes ")

Oh and Happy St. Patty's Day!!
