Today's Outfit Details: August 25, 2018

Today I felt like experimenting with my outfit, I'm so tired of wearing pants. I decided to take this oversized t-shirt and tuck it into a cute black skirt. Unfortunately, this skirt is no longer sold-but there are many black skirts out there. Just look for one that suits your style better.

The accessories that I'm wearing are from: Rue 21, the earrings are from Body Central-but this store is no longer in business. Hoops have never went out of style, so just look around until you find a pair that you like.

I love the way that this skirt fits my body type, it makes my waist look so nice-it's so fitted. I pulled the shirt out of my skirt a little to give it that old-fashioned effect. I cannot wear heels for a while due to my foot injury:( so I had to pair it with sandals. If I had to choose, I would have paired it with pumps or wedges. This trend has never went out of style. As a matter of fact-the tucking of shirts into pants or skirts have definitely made a comeback and it's a trend that I am loving. I don't like following trends-I like setting them. 

This shirt was sent to me by a fan to my P.O. Box, it's available at Target, but only select stores have them.

Boho Chic Outfit Details: Instagram Post August 18, 2018

Now tons of people were going gaga on this look when I had made this post on August 18. I love the feedback that I got on my look:) My top is from Charlotte Russe, my jeans are from Aeropostale and my shoes are from Body Central, but they went out of business a few years ago. That makes me so sad because that was my favorite store:(

My necklace (believe it or not) is from WAL-MART! And it retails for $5, the little leaf studs in my ear are from Forever 21, but they were a gift from my bestie, so I don't know the price. 

Floral Tie-Front Top Details: Instagram Post Dated July 30, 2018

This gorgeous tie-front top is from Charlotte Russe, I believe that I got it for $5 on sale! My darlings, you really don't need to splurge to look that good;) My hoops are from Rue 21 and my choker is from Forever 21. Unfortunately, I do not have links because I do shop in stores & different stores vary in items. 

Coca-Cola Outfit Details: Instagram Post Dated- August 4th, 2018

Now if you cuties know me well, then you'll know that this is my favorite soda! I couldn't resist when I found this a few months ago at Forever 21. They also had different styles of this shirt, but if you're not a crop top kind of person, then it probably wouldn't be for you. This top retails for $16.90. My high-waisted jeans are from Ross and I only paid $9.99 for them, total steal! My choker is from Charlotte Russe and my hoops are from Rue 21.

Girl's Life Magazine Fashion Bash Event: July 26th

Alright lovelies, so if you used to follow my old blog, then you'll know that I had went to 2 of these events in the past. For some odd reason they had stopped these events for years and they decided to do one this year and I got invited once again. Now I usually do not know who the guests or celebrities are at these things (but hey I am human lol, that's how we learn). However, it is always worth it because I always get to find out different things and explore different music and fashion that are out there. I do modeling and acting, however I had not modeled or acted for a few years. I took a break for personal reasons. Also, due to my foot injury I wouldn't be able to make it for jobs anyway. But all of that aside...I will list some pics down below from the event:)

-This pic was taken at the entrance to the event, the fabulous pink carpet-haha
-I was rocking this gorgeous romper "pantsuit" from Rue 21 and it was only $21.99!
-Not to mention that I had to get my ID checked because the security did not believe that I was over 21 LOL! Hey at least I look young;)

  

Ok, so they had tons of booths set up at the event, we walked away with tons of free goodies! I didn't know any of the talent there-they were super young kids! I'd say about 14 and under. Needless to say I didn't get any pics lol, I let their fans have the photo ops, it was only fair:) There was an Aero booth set up, apparently you can design a bag for free, which retails at $30! And they snap a pic of you, plus a keepsake polaroid-and you can enter their contest to win a custom denim jacket. Now I had no clue that they even had a contest going on until I heard the employees explaining it to my sisters, I didn't think anything of it UNTIL....

AHHHH!!! YES:) that's right, your girl Sam won the first out of three jackets! LOL, I didn't even know if I used the correct hashtag haha, but I was so happy that I won! I got to choose what I wanted it to say. Look how cute this looks, I cannot! And it fits perfectly, it's been a while since I have had a cute jean jacket:) This just goes to show, try your luck because you never know what might happen. It's cool that they chose my design first, out of so many entries! I am beyond happy hehe.

Personalized? Come on, I had to....lol

The next carpet was the Barbizon red carpet. I am actually an Alumni with them, I graduated back in 2012. But I stopped by to get a few pics-these pics are solely MINES-my sister took them with my canon lol. The woman taking my photo was the "paparazzi" for the event:) I have no clue what they did with my pics haha.

I love being in front of the camera so much, it always makes me smile:)

These are just random pics that I made my sister take of me outside lol, this area has some pretty artsy views:)

Now to make the freebies even cooler, they had a bra bar, where a few ladies measured you for a FREE bralette, which retails for $38 and up, so that was pretty darn cool! And of course I wouldn't be Sam if I didn't snag a pic on their fancy faux fur chair LOL:)

Honey Dukes PJ: Details

How cute are these PJ's?! Being a YouTuber myself, I watch tons of videos as well. I watch lots of UK YouTubers and I spotted these pj's and I was like- I MUST HAVE THEM! I purchased them from London on Ebay. It is super easy, quick and don't worry my loves it's totally safe:) I'm always shopping on Ebay. The shipping was very fast! I was shocked on how early my parcel arrived. Just make sure that you know your size:) I am wearing a UK XL and lol, they are a little big on me, but that's ok. Here is the link if you're interested: https://www.ebay.com/itm/HARRY-POTTER-Ladies-Pyjamas-Primark-HONEYDUKES-Cami-Vest-Shorts-Womens-Pajamas/283048549289?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160727114228%26meid%3Dab2b99cafc6741bdbd6989fc76e0e46f%26pid%3D100290%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D4%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D283048549289%26itm%3D283048549289&_trksid=p2060778.c100290.m3507

I swear these pj's are just too perfect haha, just in time for a cute photo op;)

Walk Alone-Stand Stronger

In this interesting world that we call home-you never know what can happen or what you will encounter. One day people are with you or on your side and one day they just simply...disappear. The matter of the subject is to just stay strong and keep moving forward. In this cold cruel world you must learn to walk alone at times. No one will be there to catch you if you fall, make sure that you have a strong foundation. Keep your loved ones close to you. In this world humans are a test of your emotions and your character. You need to hold on to your innocence and your pride because this life is one crazy ride. These days there are no such thing as friends and family. No one is really there for you. You must acknowledge and accept the fact that you're better off doing things for you, your parents and your siblings. There's no doubt that everyone is fighting a battle of their own, everyone needs to find themselves and continue to blossom. Sometimes humans like to snatch other people's destiny from them, hoping in the long run that their life will be any better. But hey maybe they will get their karma. Life is a funny thing you see....one day everything is perfect and the next day everything goes wrong and the domino effect takes place. These are things that we must take by the handle and just go on the ride. See where we end up and how things work out. When people envy you or are jealous of you-it shows their character not yours. Especially when they're your own blood. People always love hearing one side of the story and they run with it, like a kid getting their first bike or a kite. Wisdom and character are hard to find in close minded people. It just means that you have more potential and they see things in you that they do not possess or that they want. My loves, I'm 24 years old and there is lots of life that I have seen and witnessed already. Life is a rollercoaster and you will experience a range of scenarios and emotions throughout it, but how you deal with it shows your character. So no matter what you will have to try to keep a high head and push forward with all of your strength. 

XOXO- Sam

Today's Makeup Look- Using the Norvina Makeup Eyeshadow Palette by Anastasia Beverly Hills

  

This palette is super gorgeous! I love every color, the pigments apply very well & the different shades do NOT disappoint. I am truly fond of the shimmery shades-this palette retails for $42 and it is definitely worth every penny! My sister purchased this one from the actual site.  

Look how gorgeous these colors are! You can easily use these colors for a day or night look:)

I'm using my Maybelline Fit Me Foundation in the shade soft honey & I'm also using the Fit Me powder in the same shade. The lip that I'm using is by Colourpop and the shade is Limbo-it's a matte lippie.

I used the LORAC Contour palette & the Sophx Makeup Revolution highlight palette-for contour and highlight obviously. 

For the crease I am using the shade Passion, for my lid I used the shade Celestial, & for my outer V, I am using the shade Drama.

HARRY POTTER FUNKO FIVE STAR: WAL-MART EXCLUSIVES

Alright so it took me a bit to find these, but thankfully I came across them a few weeks ago. Like I mentioned in my videos and in previous blog posts, my Wal-Mart was giving me a hard time to locate these products. I was so worried that I wasn't going to get them, but I am so THANKFUL that I did:)
I love the intricate details on each pop! They somewhat remind me of the mystery minis. The retail prices for these Funkos are $9.99.

Here is cute little Ron with his wand and Scabbers-he also comes dressed in his uniform completed with his house scarf.

Hagrid comes with his dragon egg and his pet Norbert, he is also dressed in his regular clothes and an apron.

Snape comes with a wand, potion and his cauldron.

Hermione comes in her uniform, scarf, her wand, and a book.

Harry comes with his uniform, scarf, the sorcerer's stone and his wand.

HARRY POTTER PLAQUES: FIVE BELOW!

Alright so I went to a Five Below location an hour away from me and came across these amazing prints! Then I went to my local Five Below and I found the Deathly Hallows Part 2 print! You cannot beat these for only $5. I hope that they restock these soon, because I am still missing a few:) They have lots of other Potter merch as well, so be sure to check that out. The quality of these prints are amazing-I am really surprised. The pictures seriously do not do them justice! What do you guys think? :)

HARRY POTTER DOLLS: Available at Wal-Mart

 AHHH!!! So I've had all of the dolls except Albus Dumbledore, because he was so hard to find. Walmart's customer service was so terrible, we had to complain against them. I kept calling and they claimed that they didn't know what I was talking about. My family and I kept asking, until I physically went into the store myself to see that they had the whole section up! Filled with Harry Potter merch! I had a cart full of the Funko Five Star exclusives and all of the dolls, but no Dumbledore. We kept asking for that doll and they refused to search for him, so they ended up getting in trouble. Long story short, make sure that you look very carefully & make sure that you get great customer service! The dolls retail for $20.97.

Here is an up close view of Harry and Ron, I love the detail that they added to them! I seriously want to open them, however, I have no room right now. Sadly, they'll have to stay in the box:(

Word of advice loves, make sure that you get these 2 FIRST! They are getting very rare and hard to come across! 

Ah:) here we have cute little Ginny and Hermione, on the back of each doll-there is a story about them. I love how detailed everything is on these dolls.

Niffler Plush:)

AHHH!!! So how cute is this little guy!? I was scrolling on Target's website and I came across this cute Niffler plush. I already have a mini version of him from Hot Topic, however I saw that this Niffler was listed at $9.99!!! I was like this is an amazing deal!!! When I received it in the mail, I was ecstatic. He was bigger than I thought haha! I was so happy. Target seemed to raise their price on him now. He is now listed at $12.99.

They do have a medium and a large-I purchased the large. Here is the link for the one that I have:

Throwback is so BACK!

AHH! So how many of you remember coming home to these good old throwbacks? I miss the early 2000s dearly:( all of the good Nickelodeon and Disney Channel shows. Nowadays TV cannot compare to what it was. I scored this super rad t-shirt at Five Below. You can also get them at Hot Topic. But you cannot beat this shirt for $5. The choker is also from Five Below. My accessories vary from A.C. Moore to Rue 21. 

I randomly went to Kmart with my siblings because they gave me $18 in free rewards to redeem. I found these throwback figurines for $11.69 each! I was super stoked about this find!

What do you guys think?!
