♥Update

Hey guys,
I have been just one busy bee the past month. School has just been keeping me on my toes glad I am now on spring break. I have no real plains but maybe do some spring cleaning my CLOSET being the target ugh just thinking about it is already making me feel over whelmed. Well I have some exciting news my blog was featured on a Plus size empowerment article on CNN.com if you haven't had a chance to read it here is the link. I feel honored to be  along side some other amazing ladies. http://www.cnn.com/2012/03/31/living/fatshion-beauty-bloggers/index.html
Now lets see personal matters, hmmm well life is just what it is. At this point and I am doing pretty good with all that comes my way. I have to remind myself to take things 1 day at a time. I know it's sometimes hard to do especially if your head races like mines tends to do. I find it when i just concentrate on the present my day seems a little more manageable.
Last but not least if you haven't joined in on the Real is Perfect campaign I really suggest you do =] Details are right here.
What is real is perfect? It’s the Skorch Body Acceptance Campaign to empower women with images of real women that are perfect! We are bombarded with artificial images of perfection on a daily basis, but those aren’t real! Real is you and me and the girl next door, and THAT is perfect. Join the campaign and inspire women who can relate to you!

Join the #realisperfect 20,000 strong campaign! Submit your full body photo to realisperfect@skorchmagazine.com. For every photo submitted, you are guaranteed to empower 1 other woman ♥

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
xoxoxoxo Crystal

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 .
