Out fit of the night ! With Ksy Plus
My outfit of the night (Sounds so exotic ) comes from the very talented Designer over at KSY PLUS I am wearing her Ballon Dress In Black 3x I have to say she really makes some amazing stuff and her ability to make the dress to fit my body ( Our Body's ) is just amazing ! Just some advise make sure you wear a regular bra with no padding or push up if your large breasted, because it will push those guys in and make them kind look awkwardly flat. This is only because of the type of material (cotton blended polyester). I had to change bra's for this dress and ended up using a regular cotton Playtex bra from Jcpennys Im really so pleased with this dress and I do recommend checking out her one of a kind piece she has on her website they are so different and chic .
I added my own twist to the dress by adding a Leopard thin belt from ASOS , chunky gold necklace from F21 and some Steve Madden wedges !
Hope you ladies have a fab weekend !!!!!

Birth control update !
Hey guys !,
Well its been 1 month with the IUD copper T and I have to say I like it, so far so good. The only thing I have to say is that, I am not a happy camper about is the cramps I get mind you I never ever had a problem with cramps, now I do and boy oh boy =[ I ran to CVS to pick me up the biggest bottle of Midol. Another thing is the heavy flow I have. I know these things are to be expected (geez) I miss the days were I only had a 4 day period and it was not even that heavy this last period was heavy and lasted 6 days reminded me when I was in my teens I had it for 7 days.. oh well you take the good with the bad and I have to say I would much rather have these side effects than the ones I had with the Nuvi Ring . I have no anxiety and no depression and that in itself is just wonderful. Life seems to be as normal as its gonna get ! and well I feel great about my decision lets hope my 90 day update is just as good as this 30 day one...
Until next time =]

It has been quite awhile since I have done a personal update. Lots have changed for me in a short amount of time I know in my last post I had a feeling I was going through some new changes and I have. New job actually 2 jobs I was hired at one and shortly after offered a better one which I took. Shortly after taking it I was swamped with calls for interviews why does that happen. When you have no job its so hard to get 1 then when your employed the flood gates for other possibility's open up. Never the less I am so happy with the direction my life is heading and all the hard work is starting to pay off. This is defiantly my season for career haven't master the love part yet but who is even stressed about that. I think the only thing I miss about a relationship is having that one person to go to ,the cuddling and the intimacy other than that I am pretty okay with being single.Okay enough of all that blabber ..... FALL is here which mean new fashion and cooler weather how awesome is that. I am officially over summer and glad it gone by by you wont be missed ..... So what I'm I excited for lets see CUTE TOPS JEANS PURSES AND CUTE BOOTS...... and this includes Ugg boots yes I have a love hate relationship with them like most California girls do !

The Role Of Internet Shopping
The Role Of Internet Shopping
Internet shopping is fast becoming the new way to buy; regardless of whether you wish to spruce up your home or wardrobe. The World Wide Web is home to a variety of online department stores, many of which boast an array of on-trend attire.
As well as an assortment of the latest trends, online department stores boast the likes of electrical goods, furniture and technology. Home shopping allows those with hectic lifestyles to shop at a time that is suited to them: gone are the endless queues, the traffic jams and the rush to meet closing times with a calm and pleasant experience left in its stead.
Convenience
One of the many virtues of online shopping is the fact that it is extremely easy. Simply fill your basket with anything that tickles your fancy and review each and every piece at the checkout before processing payment.
Many online stores boast next day delivery as well as a huge amount of choice. Often things you see in store may not be to your taste or size but online stores house a huge selection meaning there is sure to be something that is perfect for you.
Incentives
Just as land-based department stores house a variety of customer incentives and attractive sales, so do online boutiques. Some of these incentives come in the shape of ‘buy now, pay later’ schemes: great news for those that wish to invest in something a little special before payday.
Another incentive promised by many home-shopping sites includes free returns. If something doesn’t fit, simply post it back free of charge and reclaim your money.
This is a great option considering that you can’t physically try on your purchased garments until they arrive – although the invention of virtual changing rooms has helped to offer online shoppers a bigger window into what goods will look like once they are brought home.
Updated
Another benefit of online shopping is that, thanks to the instantaneous nature of the internet, information is constantly being updated. Those that wish to be informed of new and exciting trends will more than likely have access to a home shopping blog and forum. Such tools will allow the viewer to chat with other individuals and learn of the many new and exciting fashions currently available.
Those who still prefer the physical approach of shopping can always order a catalog from online retailers and browse through glossy pictures to their hearts content before placing their order.
Seasons change
Wow so much has happened with in the last month.Its like I feel the wave of change in so many ways.. I wont get into many details, but I will say I ended a relationship that just wasn't going anywhere , got a new car well a new used car started school, and I just feel so many good things are yet to come. But why does it feel so weird .. I cant even put it in to words, I changed my hair color YAY ! no more damn "RED HAIR" that took so much to keep up ugh . So here is a recent pics on a side note I am really excited to just work on Crystal and do me not worry about a relationship focus on my goals for right now after 1 year of being with some one not that 1 year is a long time but it really just drained so much out of me in so many ways ... I actually feel like a monkey has been lifted from my back. OK enough blabbing Happy Labor day !!!!!!!!!

My Life with the Nuva Ring
I can even begin to explain how this birth control has effected my life and, I didn't see all the side effects at once. In fact I seen them all slap me in the face on day and I was in a farther rut and state of depression than I realized.
I started Nuva Ring back in the beginning of September of 2011. I saw no side effects what so ever I felt fine and life carried on. Life shows up and problems arise like always but I started to notice my reaction to those problems was not how I would normally approach situations. January 2012 I started to notice my moods change I went from hot to cold to up and down. Again I didn't think it could be the birth control just thought I was under stress and it shall pass.. I then started noticing my mood become even worst very high levels of extreme depression were I didn't even want to get out of bed let alone take a shower. I also started noticing fits of extreme insecurity's horrible thoughts and my mind obsessed over the littlest things. I also became very emotional and cried for no reason. Again I knew something was wrong but didn't think it was the ring. Until one day I woke up feel very anxious I felt like jumping out of my own skin and screaming my heart raced and I felt lots of anxiety every day i would feel like this. I woke the hell up because I knew in my heart that something is very wrong and I was not feeling like myself. I cant even begin to describe that feeling of horrible "dark" depression and anxiety I felt like my body and moods weren't my own if that makes any scenes. I found my self in a desperate state of fear and found myself sitting in a urgent care clinic seeking some kind of help for this I talked with a pysch about what was going on and he suggested I take the ring off. He also prescribed a very low dose of anti depressant to help stabilize my mood. It has been a little over a month since seeking treatment and taking out the ring and i have felt better in this short time than i have felt the whole time I was on nuva ring.
I was very aware of the side effects before using this type of birth control I researched everything and I had chosen this one because of the fact it had less hormones in it. But nothing is always like you read and it effects every one differently. All I can say is I am so glad I am off of this birth control . I went on forms to seek out if other women had the same side effects and sure enough I wasn't alone. I am so glad I wasn't the only one. It also took a tole on my relationship with my boyfriend with my up and down emotions. Grateful he was very supportive and concerned just as much as I was.
I am telling you my story because I dont want anyone else to feel their alone when it comes to things like this also I do not recommend it what so ever.I know every women reacts differently like I did in the beginning I was fine but it turned me into a damn monster....
I personally I'm not ready to have any more kids at the present time . I was also looking into the 'Cooper T" that has no hormones in it and after doing research most women prefer it than any other birth control method out there again I no it does increase bleeding and cramps . I have an appointment to talk with my Doctor about this method so ill keep you posted . I am just so glad I feel like myself again . It sucks being a women sometimes .
I guess the only side effect I did enjoy was the decrease appetite (hahah) but I dint enjoy the nausea feeling I got after I ate =[
Life feels normal again thank god and I feel normal as well I will never put myself through that again it was just a big nightmare ..
Thank you for letting me vent about this and if there is anyone suffering from the same symptoms I suggest you take out the ring and see your doctor because this can really lead to some one to flying off the coo coo's nest. But seriously I do advise you to remove it . I wouldn't want anyone to harm them self in any way because of horrible thought.
Hope you ladys are having an amazing weekend as I am
xoxo Lots of hug

Designer spotlight Marc Jacobs Obsessed !
Summer obsessed with Neon colors.They remind me of when I was young growing up in the 80s my mom used to dress me in the funkiest neon attire. Funky for me at a early age I later started taking a liking to them; and we always see trends coming back so having the splash of neon anything just makes me smile and this Marc Jacobs is to dye for sighs like I have said before a girl can dream right. I also just feel in love with this cute Marc By Marc Jacobs Henry watch isn't she adorable I must have her I'm saving my $ to own her very soon . Funny story when I was younger my mom used to buy me really expensive watches every 2 years for my birthday back then in the 90s I knew nothing about very high end things like I do today but what was really the " in" thing back then was 'Guess" watches and I use to score on those watches. Now I'm all grown up and have to flip the bill for my high end thing (wishes I was still a kid ) My last obsession are these "Cat eye" Marc Jacobs glasses I love the vintage era of the 50's and 60's women looked so refined back then with hats, gloves, and very lady like dresses. I own so many cat eye glasses and I would love to own these Marc. Jacobs ones , take a look below of how "Obsessed I am with cat eye glasses I know I could rock the hell out of those Marc Jacobs ones. Wouldn't you agree?

Plus Size lingerie Boutique .com Review
Don't you just love to feel sexy when going to bed ? I know I do but, sometimes buying plus lingerie can be a little pricey. Well not any more no really ! I'm always on the hunt for good deals. I want Quality and affordability that is very important to me when buying anything. Well a few weeks past I was organizing my Pj drawer and realized "Hey I don't own to many sexy things" I guess I never paid to much attention to that area. I cant even begin to tell you why I don't, maybe in the back of my mind I just never thought I would look good. I know bad thinking .
So after, tossing away old tore up not so fashionable PJ's. I decided it was time to re vamp my sleep wear its literally the only thing "unfashionable about my whole entire wardrobe.
Omg!!!!! can I tell you while shopping I realized how much I lacked (giggling) and how their is just the cutest stuff out there (sighs) if I only had an unlimited bank account and money feel from trees.
So I narrowed down my choices and went with this cute Leopard Chemise Robe set from
plussizelingerieboutique.com cute right ? I think so and hello for $29 you really cant go wrong so lets break it down the pro's and cons'
Pros
·
Great Price
·
very roomy and comfortable
·
Perfect to wear at night especially with the summer heat
·
True to Size mines was a 3x I want a little extra room I could
have sized down but with online shopping I wanted to really make sure.
- Didn't like the adjustable strings in the back wish it didn't have that makes it to complicated. I like to just throw something on and not worry about adjusting anythings.
Advice
Make sure to always know your measurements and when shopping online be very patient. Don't be afraid to size up if you think the size guide runs a little small. Always keep an open mind and don't be afraid to send somethings back.
Overall
My experience was very pleasant so out of 5 stars I give it a 4 reason like in my cons I just ended up disliking the adjustable strings and some times manufacturer add so much string you have to end up cutting some off. Would I purchase from this site again Absolutely !!!!!
Hows your Pj's looking??? are you a mens boxer wearing and a tank top kinda girl like me !! =] Do you need some spicing it up also ! Love to hear about it

Stepping out of the box
I have always been really weird about piercings and stuff unless from the normal ear piercing . The other day I was sitting in class and saw this chick with this bad ass piercing of course it wasn't anything to out there very simple but it looked so bad ass that i started to think gosh that is something that I would do and it looked so awesome. As I sat in my english class listening to the professor lecture, I couldn't stop staring at that cute ass Cartilage Earring and finally came to the conclusion that I was going to step out of my comfort zone and do it. Go figure I have ink but feel weird about a silly Piercing . I came home and goggled what I wanted omg I found this site that had the most adorable earnings now the problem is I cant decide which one to get and just like me I will probably end up getting lost in all the diffrent selections so far I narrowed it down to these 2 =] You know what you have just got to Love Google. Best part they have all kinds of jewelry and girls I love me some jewelry ! I always like to pass on great sites I come across so if you are a jewelry addict like me you will love this site also if you love piercing stuff they have it all and then some. Now I will be heading to the Mall this weekend to get my Top Ears Pierced that may not be to enjoyable . I am such a sissy oh well heres to my ear lobes sore for a couple days ! Hope you guys have a Kick ass weekend

PS. IM TAKING MY BEST FRIEND WITH ME WHO HAS AGREED TO GET IT DONE WITH ME =] MAYBE I WONT BE SUCH A SISSY THEN
Retro Nights With City Chic
How I love city chic and their diverse range of style. I bought this dress awhile back, like I have mentioned in other post I have an obsession with buying, so things start finding there way pushed back in my closet and this dress was one of them. I love this dress and of course I styled it to represent a more Retro look. Do you think I pulled it off ?? I think so and forgive me I forgot what the name of this dress was,and its not on the site anymore so sorry guys. But they are having an amazing sale right now I know I have stocked up on some cute things for 60% off regular price. I am a bargin shopper and although I love to shop I usally wait till the item I want goes on Cleareance you have to make your money work for you and not blow it on 1 item when you can wait awhile and get a few items for the price you would pay on that 1 . So I hope all f you have a kick ass week and I will see ya soon for many more post to come .
