Hey everyone!  I know I've not been on as much as usual but I will be soon, I promise!  Working two retail jobs around the holiday season has taken up about 97% of my time, but I'm leaving one of the jobs so I'll have more time now! Anyway, until that happens I wanted to share this with you guys.  This is a local band from where I live.  The lead singer is a girl I used to work with. If you like bands and artists with REAL musical talent (not just sound editing to make them sound good) then listen to this band and share them!

So, working at forever 21, I get a lot of people who come in looking for outfits for parties.  Of course I get people looking for the usual office holiday party or winter formal, but one new one I've been seeing is the "Ugly Holiday Sweater" party.  So, I thought I'd throw it out there for anyone that wants to have a unique party theme and show you some sweater options!

Deer sweater from forever21.com $24.80

Red Geometric Sweater from Forever21.com $24.80 (Also in pink)

Stripe Polar Bear Sweater from forever21.com $19.80 (also in black and white)

Reindeer Hoodie from Forever21.com $24.80

Reindeer Cardigan from Forever21.com $22.80 (Also in black)

If you don't like what you see here, check out some thrift stores and maybe find some 80s vintage holiday sweaters.  Even better!

How I do my hair when I don't feel like doing my hair

Trying out a new liquid liner, telescopic by loreal Paris. It wasn't as thick as im used to, so it went on a bit shaky, but the ultimate test: will it stand up to a day at work? I'll let you all know
