On the Way Home Coat from Modcloth

This cat planner for 2014 is so adorable and it's also on sale from ModCloth!

The perfect plus one bag from ModCloth

I've been listening to Summer Twins all week so they deserve a spot on this post. 

Got Somebody To Dream About and Teardrops On My Pillow are my favorite songs by them. ♥

♥ Retro and Vintage Clothing in Plus Sizes ♥

♥ High Waisted Pants or Capri's ♥

The two pants below on the right are from Torrid and they are the 'Pixie Pants'. I have the dark wash pair on the top and I absolutely love them! The jeans on the right are from Modcloth and you can find them here. Torrid also has a pair of red high waisted capri's for sale here.♥ Pinup Girl Clothing has high waisted capri's but they only go up to a 2x, which really sucks.

♥ Circle Skirts ♥

Circle skirts are another lovely thing to have in your wardrobe! I would recommend buying solid colored skirts first, especially if you are on a budget. That way you can mix and match them with different tops. The shop Betty Le Bonbon makes skirts up to a 48 inch waist. Their online store is here and their Facebook page is here. :)

♥ Cute Cardigans and Sweaters ♥

You can find cardigans and sweaters pretty much anywhere but my favorite places to look is on Etsy. If you're like me and you normally wear a size 20 you could most likely fit into a large or extra large cardigan depending on how stretchy they are and whether or not you like buttoning the cardigan all the way up.
For sweaters I usually try to look for pullovers because I don't really like big/baggy sweaters. Bettie Page Clothing has a few pullover sweaters for sale. They go up to a juniors 4x, size 18, I believe.
You've probably seen this cardigan before because I wear it all the time and have a bunch of pictures of me in it on twitter/instagram! It's vintage and I think it's an extra large and I'm able to wear it with all of the buttons buttoned. (Again, I'm a size 20/2x)

♥ Dresses ♥

Retro dresses are super duper cute but they're also really expensive! I only have 2 that I've bought in the last 2 years. My favorite places that sell plus size vintage inspired dresses are ModCloth and Pinup Girl Clothing!
My favorite dresses from Pinup Girl Clothing are the vamp dress, christina dress, and the sailor swing dress.

♥ My Everyday Makeup ♥

I am not a makeup professional, I just like wearing makeup so please don't get offended by this post!

♥ FACE ♥

I don't really do a lot to my face. But I use L'Oreal Paris Studio Secrets BB Cream instead of using a foundation because I don't like the cakey feeling that comes with wearing most foundations. I also use L'Oreal's true match powder sometimes. I use E.L.F.'s tone correcting concealer. When I'm done putting on my makeup I use E.L.F.'s setting spray. 

♥ LIPS ♥

My everyday lipstick is one of Revlon's matte lipsticks, I use pink pout but I sometimes use stormy pink.

I use the bubblegum lip scrub from LUSH and I use Maybeline's baby lips when I'm not wearing lipstick.

♥ EYESHADOW ♥

I use Too Faced's Naked Eye palette that I got for christmas last year. 

I put numbers 1 & 3 all over my eyelid and I put more of number 1 in the inner corners of my eyes. 

Then I put 2 & 4 in the outer corners of my eyes and around in the crease. I ran out of my eyebrow kit a long time ago and haven't had the money to buy a new one so I've been mixing numbers 5 and 6 and applying them to my eyebrows with an angled brush. It doesn't look as bad as it sounds but I will be buying a new eyebrow kit sooner or later hahaha.

♥ EYELINER ♥

 Sometimes people ask me how I got good at doing my eyeliner and all I can really say is that I've been practicing since I was in 6th grade. I don't think my eyeliner is perfect, I think I have my good days and my bad days, but anyways here's how I do my eyeliner!

First I draw a line on the outer corner of my eye going slightly up.
Then I draw another line on top of that line but I draw it so that it is like a corner of a little obtuse triangle.
After that I draw a line across my eyelid, all the way down to the other side of my eye.
And finally, I fill in the tiny obtuse triangle and make sure there are no other empty spaces on my eyes! :)
This isn't my picture, (I found it on tumblr if it's yours tell me!) but it's basically how I put on my eyeliner.

♥ MASCARA ♥
I use the Size Queen mascara from Too faced! I curl my lashes with an eyelash curler and then I apply one coat of mascara. Then I curl them again and apply another coat.

♥ And this is what my face looks like when I'm done putting on my everyday makeup! ♥

♥ Current ASOS Curve Wishlist ♥

1 ♥ 2 ♥ 3 ♥ 4 

ASOS has 2 really cute black dresses with sweetheart necklines that I want!

They also have a bunch of cute tights for sale right now but the two pictured above are the ones I liked most.

                

♥ Magical Girl Shoes from PastelBaby's Etsy! ♥

I just wanted to show and tell you guys about my Magical Girl shoes from Bri! I ordered mine custom with purple heart cabochons in the middle of the bows. They are black velvet mary janes with black bows on the heels. When I went to take these pictures I saw that I lost one of the cabochons so I took the other one off too. They're still super cute and I still love them more than anything! You can buy a pair similar to mine here. ♥

♥ Too Faced: Size Queen Mascara ♥

Too Faced Cosmetics has been my favorite makeup brand since I bought their 'naked eye' eye shadow palette. My mom bought me their size queen mascara and their sweethearts blush as a late birthday present in the beginning of summer and I hadn't gotten around to actually using it until the beginning of September though and I was really happy with how long and dark they made my eyelashes! 

This picture was from my instagram so the quality isn't very good. 

My mom bought the mascara from hsn.com for $21 but when I run out I plan on buying more from amazon.com. Amazon is selling it for $13!

Rate: 4/5

I give this mascara a 4/5 because it can get really clumpy but it's still wearable!

♥ Currently On Repeat... ♥

I've been meaning to listen to Ariana's new album since it came out in August and I finally was able to last night! I am honestly so amazed at how beautiful her voice is. I knew she could sing because I used to watch Victorious but oh my gosh she is so talented!! My favorite songs are Piano, Tattooed Heart, and Almost Is Never Enough. Her songs remind me a bit of Mariah Carey's music and I was reading her wiki page and she has said that Mariah is an inspiration for her and that made me smile! (I used to be obsessed with Mariah Carey.) 

So if you like Mariah Carey and you want new music to listen to, I highly recommend giving Ariana Grande's newest album a listen! ♥
