Snowed In

Hi hi!

Off of work *again* due to snow, so decided to actually do something today.

Have a quick haul post for the first half of March. Tried actually editing and playing with my photos so there's less to read, and to give the post a more modern and mature look.

Enjoy!

I also have tumblr now! 

Autumn Inspiration

Another haul!

So the weather has chilled a bit and the sun goes down sooner :(

So I'm now addicted to dark colors and vampy lips!

Here's my new stuff^^

H&M printed dress with beaded details and basic black top

Cut out sleeve sweater from Cloud 9 clothing and sheer gold top from Ann Taylor

Mesh crop top and mesh &velvet top from Urban Outfitters

Side slit maxi skirt and asymmetric faux leather skirt from Forever 21 (photos from Forever21.com

Lace neck dress and sheer black blouse with gem accents also from Forever 21 (pix again from forever 21)

Awesome jewelry I found from H&M for super cheap! Love their sales

River Island gold and pearl earrings from ASOS and some nail deco gold studs and foil

Aaaaand to top it off! A lovely vampy lippie from Revlon. Number 663 Va Va Violet. A few coats of this and you'll have a lovely deep purple black color!

And my number one inspiration right now:

Until next time!

Love and shopping,

Blue, Black, and White Fantasy

Yay new post!

Firstly...here are the Nuts Magazines I ordered on Ebay:

The left one is December 2012's issue, and right is August 2013 issue.

This is February 2013's issue front and back. Emoda's ad on the back is just so inspirational!

So chic and stylish...LOVE

***I am really surprised at how much I have been enjoying these Nuts magazines...maybe a new fave although I am eternally loyal to Jelly***

These as well as my new Jelly and Blenda mags have really been influencing me (as proven in my last post) and so I wanted to share the items I bought that correspond with the trends.

The main trend I've been obsessed with has been basic clothes in black, white, and cobalt colors. As well as the houndstooth! These items below are all from Forever 21:

Faux leather speckle jean pants and a cap sleeve velvet crop top

Matching set! And it actually came together as a two piece! Loose checker print v-neck crop top (3/4 sleeves) and matching high waist flare skirt

And lots of houndstooth! Long black sweatshirt with houndstooth sleeves and leather trim high waist houndstooth legging pants!

Lastly,

I picked up this white over sized clutch (trend alert) featuring see through plastic (bonus trend)!

Love the studded frame of the bag and the fact that you can see all my things!

Downside is that I will have to actually organize it lol

I also love that this one comes with a made in white pouch for all of your valuables.

Well that's all for today!

Love and peace,

Sierra Anastasia

A Little Inspiration

Happy October!

Today I want to make a post about my recent style inspirations. 

So...my blog has changed yet again, but not too much. 

Before it was a lot of white, black, and purple, and now it just has a lot more black (for fall & winter), but is still mostly those colors.

ALSO! The background is my and Japanese designer's new obsession (really everyone's): houndstooth.

Houndstooth has found its way onto my phone, my make up case, and now my blog.

But moving on...magazines!!!

I not so recently ordered new magazines which took FOREVER to arrive from Japan. But I've been toting them around ever since!

I got Blenda's August issue (because Namie was on the cover!) and Jelly's September issue. 

I'm not sure if I've mentioned magazines on here, but Jelly is hands down my favorite. It was always the more mature and stylish (imo) of the Japanese gyaru magazines. Some people don't even really consider it gyaru...but more just fashionable lady's wear? 

Whatevs. 

But lately gyaru fashion has matured a bit (thank God) and now other magazines are delving into it...or I'm noticing them more. So this was my first ever issue of Blenda, which I believe has always been similar to Jelly, just I didn't notice them.

And now I just ordered 3 back issues of Nuts...which I never thought I would ever buy! (Pix and info when they arrive)

I also started following Rienda and Murua on instagram....horrible idea for a shopaholic!

I literally want everything that they post!

To be honest though, one of these days I will go ahead and start buying the designer items since most of them are conveniently on one site...Runway webstore. 

Here are some of my faves (all from Murua)

Awesome jewel collar top from Murua. Comes in Black and White options.

Really cool "cuff" like earring that says...Murua :)

(This one comes in a pierce or version for "pierced" ears and an "earring" which is actually a clip on)

Comes in silver and gold options

Tassel earrings (as if I don't have enough) in milky green. Also comes in a nudy pink, white, and black. 

There are also some gorgeous velvet crop tops and loads of houndstooth sweaters, cardigans, and skirt sets.

Hope this was inspiring! Haul is coming soon on the items I found at Forever 21 inspired by these sites and magazines :)

Love,
Sierra Anastasia

Haullin' like a boss!

Haul part II! 

So in between even posting the new items I bought...I bought more items...

Is this a sign of being a shopaholic? 

Oh wells!

So here's a massive post on my new stuff so that I can be caught up and up to date :)

Belts from Forever 21

Baroque style cross earrings (Forever 21) & Edgy knuckle rings (Laila Rowe)

Double strand gem necklace (Francesca's Collections)

 Baroque style scarf (H&M)

Can be placed on handbag, used around neck, in hair, or as a belt :)

Faux leather envelope wallet with detachable coin purse (Aldo)

(Love this!) Cozy knitted sweater with leather trim (H&M) & Long (wrinkled xD) chiffon top in a light mauve-y color (H&M)

Cozy & warm gray sweater with gems & beads (LOFT)

Finally got new brushes! Pink bristles with gold & black barrels (Sonia Kashuk for Target)

Well that's it for now. Unfortunately this isn't really it...but so as not to overwhelm...

More soon :)

As well as outfits!!!

Love and laughter,

Sierra Anastasia
