Hooray for Boo Hoo
I recently made my very first purchase from Boo Hoo, a modest online retailer based out of the UK which specializes in fast-fashion. A great thing about Boo Hoo is that they launch a new savings promotion each and every night at midnight - definitely works for a college girls budget and they had sooooo many cute things it was really hard for me to choose. Because this was my first time ordering from this site I opted only to make a small purchase just to feel it out. I wish I got more things because I LOVED THEM. The only "fault" I will call it - in the Boo Hoo process is the length of time I had to wait for my package to come in, but that was hardly a fault it is more of my impatience. It took about 8 or 9 days, but that was 8 or 9 days too long for me I couldn't wait to get my hands on that box. I got two items for just under $40 - with the deal of the day and a 15% student discount rate. I love them both - the quality was very high and the pieces looked EXACTLY as the quality expressed on the site I was actually amazed. My only recommendation would be to order at least a size up; whether the items are sized slightly on the smaller side, or intended to fit skin tight I ordered both of my dresses one size up out of caution and found them to be the perfect fit.
I got two dresses however I am only going to show one in this post because I plan to use the other dress in a an OOTD sometime soon ;). But I am absolutely IN LOVE with this white dress, it was the one I was anxiously awaiting more out of the two pieces I bought. It was originally priced $35 but with the cut rate it actually ended up averaging to about $19.07 . I have nothing left to say - the dress speaks for itself . Simply Fabulous. Definately checkout Boo Hoo lovelies you won't regret it. xoxo

"Fast Food" Doesn't Mean "Fatty Food"
Fast food doesn't mean fatty food, right? - ok maybe it does, but it doesn't have to be SO bad, bear with me! The other night my mom and I were exploring dinner options; trying to find something relatively healthy but also something that didn't take too much time because we were starving - we came to the unanimous consensus of ordering takeout. I know what you're thinking - takeout is soooo bad for you right? But it actually doesnt have to be {not so bad anyways}. If you modify your orders to eat them even a little bit better than they would be ordinarily served, you can still work towards your goal of being more health conscious. Lets face it, you're gonna give in to the dire urge to get takeout every once in a while or otherwise find yourself in a situation where you're out to eat with friends and its not like your just gonna not have anything at all, I mean come on thats just ridiculous. There are, however, a few minor adjustments you can make in your eat out routines to make them not such a major set-back on your health-kick. Treat yourself without defeating yourself. Its like giving yourself permission to have a mini shopping splurge after saving up for so long, but setting a budget. When you eat well most of the time you earn your little guilty pleasures and fast food delicacies - just don't over do it. You can order your hamburger and fries, lets say, without seasoning. I have personally done this before and let me just tell you that burger was every bit just as delicious. Who even has time to think about how strange it is to order food without seasoning while they are stuffing their face in that delectable burger, not you! You can also try getting a salad, salads in restaurants can tend to be calorie, sugar, and fat loaded however they have enough vegetables in them to balance out the not so good parts. Its also great to substitute a side of fries with some seasoned vegetables which seems like the less fun option but if you pick just the right restaurant the veggie options can be surprisingly delicious.
When my mom and I ordered chinese takeout I knew that I wanted to at least try to get something kind of good so I wouldn't feel like I was counteracting all of my hard work and willpower to eat better. So we got an order of chicken and steamed vegetables without sauce and white rice. The steamed chicken and vegetables came exactly as titled - a fresh assortment of vegetables tossed together with cooked chicken, both steamed with absolutely no dressing or seasoning.We mixed it together with the white rice and ever so lightly drizzled low-sodium teriyaki sauce on top and it was savory and more than satisfying. It hit the spot with out going too overboard ~ hunger crisis averted. If you have any other tips or tricks for ordering fast food feel free to share them in a comment below. Stay fab dolls. xoxo

Tea Time !
Good morning dolls! My secondary favorite beverage (lemon water being thee first) would have to be tea! Tea is extremely good for you being that it is made from natural extracted herbs. My go to- brand for tea would definitely have to be Tazo because their flavors are just so rich and refreshing but not overly strong. I keep stocked up on my four favorite flavors - Wild Sweet Orange, Refresh Mint, China Green Tips, and Organic Sultry Strawberry- I rotate them out to drink them every day. I love sitting down with a cute little tea mug and blogging; I find that surrounding myself with these kinds of positive aesthetics and cutsie details inspire me. Fun little desk setups or artsy tea mugs next to the computer are not only picture worthy, but they are also instrumental in the creative process!
The best way to drink tea is without sugar, however, we are normally not used to drinks that aren't super sweet so it takes a little retraining to enjoy your tea without a puckered face. Try swapping one of the sugary juices or sodas you drink every day and replace it with a cup of unsweetened tea! One of my best friends has just recently started a blog page and put up a post about drinking more water, another healthy option. She mentioned the alarming amount of sugar that is in a single can of soda! Seriously we should know more about what we are putting into our bodies. Stay healthy and Stay Fabulous! xoxo

Fit & Fabulous : a Lifestyle
In todays fast paced society health concerns are becoming more and more prevelant. Its unfortunate that confidence and body image issues are related to physical appearance. The only point that I feel is genuinely worth emphasizing is, not the number on the scale or a foolish thigh gap - these are not methods of measuring health, it is to - simply- take care of yourself and your body by taking responsibility for your mental and physical health.
Theres never a point when it is "too late" to start living healthy, living healthy is not some kind of crazy diet or arduous excersize routine it is only understanding what your body needs to function at its best by doing whatever kind of eating and exercise habits that work best for you in your daily routine.
Many people see eating healthier specifically as an issue because it seems to require a bit more time and effort in selection and food preparation, however, this is actually a misconception. When you are versed on nutrition information is is quite easy to know which kinds of foods to look for and how to handle good-for-your-body recipes.
It is an excellent idea for the next time you go to the grocery store for your weekly shopping ritual to just buy a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables rather than a bag of chips or some popcorn for a snacking alternative. Because seriously there is no arguing that taking a container of blueberries out of your fridge requires exactly the same amount of energy as taking a box of pop tarts out of the pantry.
Real talk ladies stop making excuses and start making taking care of your body a priority, because after all you only get one. This doesn't mean not being able to treat yourself with your favorite specialty burger, or those to-die-for nachos at the local hole in the wall joint, but just be more conscious of your choices and try substituting and adding more nutritional options. It certainly takes hard work and willpower to change habits, that is not to be dismissed, however if you decide to make a change for the betterment of yourself both you and your doctor will feel apply about it. And a body that is more fit and that you may be more proud of is just an added bonus. What you put into your system will fuel your mood, give you more attentiveness and vitality in experiencing life, and increase overall feeling of happiness! Have a fabulous mind and fabulous body! xoxo

Summer Nails
Give yourself the perfect summer manicure by picking up your favorite -too bright, tone it down- neon shade and paint away! Neon nail polish is such a clean, bright, fun accent to add excitement to any simple summer outfit.
I was inspired by this pinterest pin [pictured below], so I interpreted it into a manicure using similar colors I had at home. Neon Nails really pop against any plain all black or all white outfit it looked fabulous and I got tons of complements.
I was unable to track down specifically what colors were used in the original picture, however I listed the colors I used for my summer manicure below the picture. (a great tip I picked up for the best application of neon polishes is to apply a coat or two of a plain white polish as a base, it results in the color appearing its brightest.)
[Pink: Sally Hansen HARD AS NAILS Extreme Wear #320 - Fuchsia Power, Yellow: Spoiled (by Wet n Wild) S038 - Did It Dye Too Blonde?, Orange: Sally Hansen HARD AS NAILS Extreme Wear #150 - Sun Kissed]
Try it out! comment or drop a picture bellow of your favorite neon nails, I would love to see. Also feel free to check out my other original manicures on the MY NAILS board of my Miss Anon Fabulous Pinterest. as always - Stay Fabulous dolls! xoxo

Two Piece Sets
In the spirit of summer fashion I would like to share with you one of my all time favorite styling trends [an obsession frankly!] that is currently gaining popularity: two piece coordinating sets. I find them to be so glamorous because, not only are they simple and easy to throw on, but they are more than appropriate for every season and they come in many different fits to flatter all body types and any every color variety imaginable. The result; instant glamorous with hardly any effort. Pop on some heels, accessorize and your good to go! Definitely consider picking one up [or a few!] on your next online shopping spree. Happy shopping and happy summer! Stay fabulous! xoxo

New Purchase & Makeup Storage
Was in the mall the other day, and stopped a fabulous stranger in her tracks to ask her, of all things, what was the color of the lipstick she was wearing. It was such a brilliant pink, I just had to know. I will forever be on the search for the perfect pink so when she told me I went straight to Sephora in the mall to buy it - no joke. It was a semi-matte lipstick by NARS in the color SCHIAP which was a little on the expensive side, however I felt the free NARS lip pencil samples justified the purchase. I will try to get a MOTD of it at some point but trust me when I say it is very fresh looking and such a vivid hue perfect for a bold statement lip. I am currently in the process of building up my makeup collection, being that I have gotten much more into makeup technique over the past year or so; a developing beauty enthusiast. Feel free to comment a must-have product below so I can be sure to check it out. Stay Fabulous! xoxo

Just Fab!
I recently signed up for justfab.com, an online retailer of trendy women's fashion and most emphatically for shoes [although Just Fab primarily accentuates their extensive shoe collections, the site also has a surprisingly large inventory of clothing, bags, and jewelry as well]. Sure Ive seen the commercials which I have to admit are quite entertaining, but they were never enough to actually reel me in to membership they, however, enticed my sister. I watched month after month in awe of the delivery truck dropping off her magical pink boxes to our doorstep, always with a pair of drop-dead heels inside. After about the fourth pair I realized I was getting too excited from an indulgence I myself reaped no benefit and it was only necessary that I get in on this too. And wa-la, here we are today! The shipping did not take long and I ended up scoring a great deal on my first purchase with a "two for the price of one" introductory offer on top of a $10 off credit. So I got two pairs for only $29.99 with free shipping. I am so in love with both pairs and they are much more comfortable and better quality than I expected for that price. The website is definitely worth checking out!! As always have a fabulous day !!! xoxo
