Online Shopping

Okay so a couple of weeks ago I ordered a bunch of stuff online from Urbanoutfitters, and Forever21. I've ordered from Forever21 numerous times before in the pass, and as always I was pleased with what I received. This however was my first time shopping online with Urbanoutfitters and overall I was pretty disappointed with the quality and the appearance of some of the items. Like for instance I ordered this Native American inspired tunic, the picture on the website showed this tunic that was almost to the models knees but I received something that barely even touched my butt. Not only was it the wrong length but the colors and material looked very cheap compared to what was pictured online. I will be sending these item back, unless someone would like to purchase them from me. If you are interested just e-mail me at okaylaellis@yahoo.com or leave a comment and I'll will send you pictures and prices. This offer will only last for two weeks. 


Also I did order a new school bag from Urbanoutfitters and i'm in love with the bag. I'm so happy that the bag looks exactly how it did online. My camera is dead right now so tomorrow I will posting pictures of the bag and this really cool ring I got. Im not going to post pictures of all the clothes but if you guys want to see them you can check out my youtube channel.

 Random Question: What's your must have item this fall?

EXCITED !

Just ordered my first pair of Jeffrey Campbell Shoes and i'm soooo excited I cant wait for them to get here. I did express shipping so they should be here in three days hopefully. I live in europe so I dont know if express shipping works the same way internationally. If they don't make it in three days I hope I can get my money back, I paid like twenty dollars extra! Until then i'll just day dream about the outfits i'm going to wear them with. I'll post some pictures once they get here.

Etro Fall 2011 Ready-to-Wear

 love how the colors are playful yet the pieces are still sophisticated. Im usually not a big fan of paisley, for some reason it always reminds me of my grandmother's living room curtains. That leather sleeved trench-coat is freaking gorgeous, I might just do my own version of  it using one of my old coats.

When I first saw this shoe I knew they were meant for me, I told myself I'm definitely going to buy them.I just found out that there sold out and I'm extremely mad. I just love that shade of purple & it's perfect for spring. I guess I'll just have to wait till they get more. I'll update you guys when I buy them hopefully that will be soon. 

RK Obsession: Pocket Watches

Can you say love at first sight. I've been craving a pocket watch for the longest time. I don't know what it is about them that I like so much, but I'm going to start a pocket watch collection.

Let's Swim

For spring break I'm going to Italy with a couple of friends so I've been on the search for a bathing suit. It's hard to shop over here since everything is in euros which makes it really expensive leaveing me with my only option, if I want something for a reasonable price, buying it online. Don't get me wrong I love online shopping it's just I like trying things on before I buy them especially when it comes to bras and swimsuits. I find that triangle bikini tops make me look very flat chested because I do have a small chest. Bandeau tops on the other hand enhance my curves and make my chest more appealing if I must say. I mean who wants to wear a bathing suit and look a boy, not me. Usually when I  buy swimwear I never buy the bottom that goes with it, I like the mix and math look better. Below I listed a few places I went to find swimsuits and a couple of suits I like from each site along with the link to the site.



1. Victoria Secret. victoriassecret swimwear

  2. Urbanouutfitters.Urbanoutfitters Swim Suits

Something for Valentines

When it comes to picking out something to wear for valentines day people usually go wrong by trying to come off as too sexy or thinking they have to wear something with too much red or pink. My ideal v day outfit would be something like this, simple but bold. The colors of the dress and jacket are very mellow and calm, but paired with these red Jeffery Campbell wedges gives it a splash of color. The Alexander McQueen scarf ties the red in to the outfit without giving it that "I'm trying too hard to match" feel. Gold jewelry definitely goes better with the color scheme for this outfit, the pieces I picked out are just right; not taking too much attention from the overall picture. For this outfit I would wear my hair up in a messy bun and go for a natural look with the make up and probably a red or nude lipstick. I made this outfit using my polyvore account, its really easy to put things together and shop for clothes there. You guys should definitely check it  out.

Pumps? Go Nude! Look cute for Less

I just love pumps! They're sexy and chic I mean what more could you ask for? So recently, I came across these really cute nude pumps from Jimmy Choo(left) but they're $695, which is way out my price range. I did some searching and guess what?! I found pair almost exaclty like the Jimmy Choo pumps but they're a tad bit darker. They're Steven Madden(right) and cost only $89.95. You can find both pumps at Nordstorm.com I've posted the links below.

What Goes Up Must Come Down

(photo taken by Ryan Smith)

 

      The past few weeks have been very hectic with midterms, frends, family issues and trying to find a job.In the mist of everything I've learned people are truely never who you think they are, well in my case they never are. I always try to see the good in everyone, even when they do wrong & maybe that makes me a little foolish. It's like ever time things are going right they start to go downhill. I always find it that im blaiming someone else for my problems just beacuse I cant live up to them. The only one I should really blame is myself exspecially this time. Because I was the one who saw something more in you than what was really there; I beleived what I wanted to believe. Now I can see what's been right infront of me the whole time, a lie. I learned alot form my situtation and I dont regret anything that happened or want to take anything back because I dont believe in living with regrets. You make a mistake your learn from them and move on & thats what I plan to do.

Yours Truely

Okayla
