I have been scouring Pinterest and blogs looking for DIYs. Buying a house is expensive enough, not to mention we need to buy a lot of furniture - we decided to leave behind the college furniture.<br />
<br />
These are four DIYs that I will definitely be doing!<br />

I love the hanging plants and shelves for plants, because our cats looove to eat plants and knock them over. Plus, with the house that we're looking at there are perfect windows for both of these. The measuring cups are something I would do now if I wasn't moving. I do not liking digging in a drawer for that one teaspoon that I know is in there. And finally, those bookends are the definition of shabby-chic. Bookends that will actually hold up books, what a novel idea. (hehe pun intended!)<br />

Oof. These words hit home right now. I'm so close to graduating, the only thing left is an internship this summer. The step between school and a real job feels like a leap - hence the quote. However, I had my senior show, which means my portfolio is complete and printed as well as online (you can see it <a href="http://www.torichannell.com/" target="_blank">here!</a>). I feel so proud of that!! I have already started mentally editing it and there are some pieces I'd like to see go, but I know that will probably always be true. For now I'm letting it be while I hunt down a job.</div>

I hope you all are enjoying the spring weather. Spring always makes me clean and purge lots of stuff I don't use and I'm especially loving that this year.</div>

Today I'm feeling pink and dreamy... aka girly. <br />
On another note I'm getting really annoyed with text becoming blurry and pixel-y when I save as a jpg. hmmm...<br />

It snowed here! It wasn't much, but it hasn't felt like winter for a while, so I don't mind. Our little Honda looks so cold out there. The snow outside makes me get stuff done inside, like organzing! Maybe nail polish is low on importance, but I had fun. I weeded out some colors that I don't use or like and put them in color order. My room stunk so bad of nail polish after this!<br />

If my high school self saw my style now, I would probably think I was dorky. I just can't help loving quirky sweaters. Winter time is so dreary and drab, a funky sweater is the perfect thing to cheer things up. The sweaters above are all from asos, I stumbled accross them window-online shopping.<br />

Helloooo to everyone! So lipsticks are not quite my thing, I'm definitely new to figuring out which shade works with what look. For now I know that I like light weight, moisturizing lip products and I've also discovered that I like the results of more daring colors. My lips are fairly pigmented naturally, so I just won't keep use a lipstick if it only gives a subtle change.</div>

With that said, I was at the store looking for a new lipstick to try - specifically a new brand or formulation. I've never tried a lipstick from Maybelline (and I've only heard amazing things about them), plus this Color Whisper line is new! I picked up the color Coral Ambition and I really like it!!<br />

According to their website, it's a gel formulation, so if feels very light and smooth on you lips. I also think it wears really nicely because you can still rub it in/around a bit after wearing it for a while. There's no smell to it and swatching it doesn't look very impressive, but it definitely shows up on the lips! I would definitely recommend this.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01900466768754002025noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6236843025459056114.post-5764969118765253052012-12-03T00:38:00.000-05:002012-12-03T00:38:00.966-05:00I'm here!I just wanted to give a quicky update - I'm alive!<br />
haha I kinda want to post just that line, but I won't. I wanted to let whatever readers I have left (Hi Liz and Janelle!!) that I will be resuming normal posting after this mess of a semester is over. Man oh man, the latter half of the semester always gets the best of me. Fortunately, this year my stress level and sleep schedule have stayed in check, with only a couple of rough days. That's really only because I fill my time with work to stay on top of it all.<br />
So full speed ahead for the last two weeks and I'll see all of you after the 13th.<br />

Side note, I have sooo many little cuts on my hands! In just a couple of days my cat ripped up two fingers - she's still a kitten and she was stuck and scared and didn't understand I was trying to help. Poor little girl. Then I stabbed myself with a knife while trying to get a candle out of a votive holder. The knife broke through the glass, shattering the holder, and sliced my finger. Plus I still have a scar on one hand from an old burn. I'm falling apart!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01900466768754002025noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6236843025459056114.post-86353676999339482962012-10-23T13:39:00.002-04:002012-10-23T13:39:45.218-04:00My Little Bundles of JoyI love babies. I think all of them are precious and adorable. But it ends there.<br />
<br />
Somehow I've come to find myself surrounded by news of new pregnancies and new born babies and it's all so wonderful and I love celebrating with each family. However, at the end of the day Tim and I love nothing more than coming home to <i>just </i>our cats.<br />

Luna has added a wonderful new dynamic to the apartment and we're loving every minute of it. She has definitely proved the most challenging when it comes to her health, but she's adorable despite her smells.<br />

She's definitely the most cuddly. If she notices you stirring in the morning she'll hop right up to your face and start sniffing and purring. While I work on school projects she'll wiggle her way on to my lap and find some way to get comfortable there, it's pretty cute. So for now this family of 5 is happy and available for babysitting, but that's all.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01900466768754002025noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6236843025459056114.post-45387160740608839962012-10-13T16:36:00.000-04:002012-10-13T16:36:30.841-04:00RandomnessThese two images aren't really related at all, but they're just so cool and I really like them.

The next picture is more inspring to me, and I don't think most people would that. For me it just says a lot about design and typography and it challenges me to be a better designer. I want to 'Be Big'.<br />

To me, good design is all about breaking the mold. So here you have a normal book and BAM, right in the middle is something totally breaking the mold and making a statement. You could go even further and say the whole picture is a statement. Here is a man that looks like your every-day Joe, and he's sitting by a plain window and heater, just very simple, especially since it's in black and white. So is he being big? If so how? Did he design that? Is being big just being your plain old self?<br />
<br />
Can you see how this is more inspring and thought provoking to me? It's fun for me to look at art and try to create my own context.<br />

I promise I do not plan on posting less during the school year. It's kind of you either get quantity or quality with blog posts and I'm still working on that balance. Althought quality seems super important when I'm in design classes during the day.<br />
<br />
So while I'm working on that here are some really cute and cozy fall accessories.<br />

These are my nails right now, I did them late last night and wanted something funky and bright. It's a blue gradient with gold sparkles on the tip. They are sooo fun and they match my shorts right now. I did the base blue with Pacific Blue from Sally Hansen and the darker blue with Sapphire Siren by Maybelline Color Show, and finally the gold was just "Gold Glitter" from Studio M.</div>

Don't get me wrong, I haven't welcomed the homework.. but I don't loath it either. I'm especially enjoying my cats... and believe me I know how ridiculous that sounds. After coming home from confusing, information filled classes and a busy campus, it is the cutest thing to be greeted by them. I've never had pets (other than goldfish) before, so I think it will be a long time before I get over this.<br />

It's the end of my second week of classes and I had to be at work at 7:30am. Rather than roll out of bed and go on campus in my pjs I actually got ready. I straightened my hair, I had a cute outfit on, I did my make up. I was good to go. Except I forgot my umbrella.<br />

They are Pacific Blue from Sally Hansen and Tart Deco from Essie. I have been on the hunt for these two for months! I used to be able to find Tart Deco, but had passed on it since it's more expensive. And when I decided to go ahead and get it, it was always sold out. Pacific Blue, on the other hand, never seemed to be sold in stores near me. There wasn't even a spot for it in the Sally Hansen rack.<br />
<br />
Clearly I found them and I am so excited that I did! I had stopped by an out-of-the-way CVS (it's much bigger than my normal one) to pick up some random things with Tim. I had promised him that I would only be getting this <i>one </i>face mask and that I would only <i>look </i>at the make-up while he got his stuff. I had no idea what I was going to find!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01900466768754002025noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6236843025459056114.post-69296419767283485162012-09-01T11:15:00.004-04:002012-09-01T11:15:52.938-04:00Style InspirationWhen you're looking for a new style or outfit ideas where do you look? Do you look for actual outfits that are already styled and complete? Do you look for general color schemes? Or is it just the feeling of the season that inspires you?<br />

Lately I have found the most inspiration from pictures like these...<br />
<br />

I still like looking at outfits on Pinterest and fashion blogs, but there's just something about these color palettes that put me in the fall mood. It's funny because even though I'm not dressing for fall quite yet, I've already started painting my nails in darker colors.<br />
<br />

These last two pictures are definitely bright and maybe don't make you think of fall, but the blue undertone makes them feel more seasonable.<br />

I just love tanktops and bright colored clothes. But this year, there is something about the chill in the air and the idea of layers that I'm loving. So I am embracing this shift in attitude and seasons through my wardrobe. I cannot wait to wear dark colors, muted colors and no colors (black and grey). How are you feeling about saying goodbye to summer?<br />

I've tried this nail design two times, both turned out pretty great and both got lots of compliments, or at least a comment of, "Wow, those are crazy nails." I think I still have a long ways to go to get them perfected. Both pinkies turned out funky, but with all the fun colors I don't think it's a problem.<br />
<br />
Rather than show you step by step pictures, I'm going to put the video that I learned it from below. This is the girl I get a lot of ideas from; she's just good at explaining and has lots of fun ideas.<br />

But it must be so hard to come up with samples and themes to please all of your customers. So I think the key to finding the subscription for you is looking at previous months from the company and evaluate the overall products you receive. I was choosing between MyGlam and Birchbox and this month was going to be my last of receiving both of them - it's just too many samples every month to keep getting both.<br />
<br />
This is the Birchbox...<br />

1. MyGlam lip gloss - this was the extra<br />
2. Roll on Perfume Oil from Demeter (it seriously smells like deodorant)<br />
3. Eye Shadow from s.a.l.t.y. cosmetics<br />
4. nail polish from Circus by Andrea's Choice (super cute neon pink)<br />
5. moisture therapy regenerative cream and cellular activator facial serum from Eclos.<br />
<br />
To keep myself from rambling, I'll cut to what made me realize to continue with Birchbox and not MyGlam. Thinking back to all previous bags/boxes I realized that MyGlam usually had one thing, maybe two, that I was really excited about, but the other contents I hated and a lot sit unused. However, with Birchbox even when I wasn't thrilled with a box, nothing was unusable, just on the practical side and less fun. I will say, this month made me second guess this decision - when am I ever going to wear stick on eyeliner?! But for now I'm sticking to it, maybe in a few more months I'll decide that I've tried enough products and will cancel Birchbox as well. For now I'm happy with the decision.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01900466768754002025noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6236843025459056114.post-2782455846650897362012-08-18T21:25:00.001-04:002012-08-18T21:25:40.597-04:00Just a Couple of FavoritesToday Tim and I moved our cats back home and tomorrow we will move back (from house-sitting).

A new purse/clutch. It's so fun and unlike anything else I have. Plus I love Nemu; poor little guy got sick on both ways between our house and our friends' house.<br />

I don't really like new clothes that come out in between seasons. I don't want to be done with summer yet and the fall colors are not appealing. So, I browsed the jewelery.<br />

While I love to photograph, there's no way I'd actually wear that skirt on a plain old day. However, this picture has inspired me to add a little sparkle to each day/outfit. I've also rediscovered the joy of plain red nails, like I mentioned in this earlier <a href="http://style-by-tori.blogspot.com/2012/08/a-pictures-worth-thousand-words.html" target="_blank">post</a>. So I'ved pulled out a few spakley accessories on days that I wear plain basics.<br />

This necklace is one of my al time favorites. And it was under $15 from Forever21.<br />

Each of these rings are beautiful on their own, but I love pairing them together.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01900466768754002025noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6236843025459056114.post-24315962772635184272012-08-10T18:18:00.005-04:002012-08-10T18:18:59.118-04:00Friday OutfitWhen I'm living out of a suitcase I rarely like to dress up, especially since I don't pack for layers. Plus I'm watching two puppies and it's rainy here, so I get really dirty and don't want to wear clothes that I care about. However, after almost a week of wearing gym clothes I needed a change.<br />

I love putting these two accessories together, I think it gives the outfit an edgey-rocker vibe. The ring was from walmart for $3 and the necklace is from Jewelmint for $30. I love that price difference. Makes me smile every time.<br />

I really like putting that long necklace with a scarf. So I wrapped this one up all around my neck and put my hair in a top knot. Since I didn't have clothes to layer, I went with lots of accessories. It gives the same general style with half the luggage space.<br />

Obviously from the title it's about style, but "style" is an all encompassing word. To me, style is not about just your fashion, but your mood and how you present yourself. So in my mind, you the reader, need to know me and my life to understand my style and know how to relate to it.<br />
<br />
I think today is going to be about my life and what's going on with me. As you know, I was in Chicago over the weekend, but this week Tim and I are house sitting. This means I'm continuing to live out of a suitcase and I'm really missing the comforts of home!<br />

It's the little things that I miss, like using my own dishes and knowing where things go in the kitchen. I miss my cats, which feels silly, but it's true. I'm also getting tired of driving in the car all the time - I've started getting lost a lot lately, so that's no fun. However, I'm finding fun little things to enjoy. The mustache tape is an old picture, but these are the little things I'm talking about. I am also enjoying plain red nails after some very colorful manicures (like <a href="http://style-by-tori.blogspot.com/2012/08/marble-nails.html" target="_blank">this one</a>).<br />

I hope all of you are having a good week! The summer has gone by so fast!! In less than three weeks I'll be starting school. Crazy.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01900466768754002025noreply@blogger.com0
