Tory Burch: It's a Tory, Tory World

Ok I'll admit it. I am a label whore. Now that it's out in the open, you should all probably know that there is nothing I love more in this world than shopping. 

Discovering my favorite designers is always such an adventure to me. My latest obsession is Tory Burch. I must say she has an amazing variety of handbags, shoes, & accessories that are perfect for any occasion!!

This is my every so perfect Tory Burch wrap bracelet in gold. It literally goes with any outfit. Plus, this signature piece was only $95. I can honestly say I have gotten my moneys worth. 

These two fabulous bags were my Tory Burch Christmas presents this year. The tan one is the Amanda Hobo bag. Retails at $485. It is the most perfect everyday bag in the entire universe. It has a million pockets for all of my stuff. I could not find a better versatile purse than this one.  The black one is the Amanda Crossbody bag. Retails at $225. This bag is perfect for going out. I can typically fit my cell phone, keys, lip stick, and money in it without any problems! 

My two latest obsessions.

If you are anything like me you love to shop and add new things to your collections. My latest two obsessions I actually received as a gift from my fabulous boyfriend....I guess I was on my best behavior. Anyways, my first love is the Naked 2 eye shadow palette. I do not know what planet I have been living on or how on earth it took me this long to purchase it, but it is absolutely amazing. Urban Decay makes some of the best beauty products and this product come with 12 different eye shadows, a eye shadow combo brush, and a mini plumping lip gloss for only $50. It is perfect for creating multiple eye looks, including a smokey eye. You can not beat that. I got this one from Sephora, but multiple locations carry it. (p.s. I plan on posting a video of the different eye looks you can create with this product asap)

My second love is this Vintage Chanel MADE in the Deep South bracelet. It is a distressed leather belt with a Vintage Chanel charm attached. All of their bracelets are one of a kind and 100% authentic. I purchased this one from a boutique in Rome, Georgia, but they are each individually crafted by Michela Bruno Swafford in Alabama.

Fabulous Make-Up Find: Eyelid Primer

Product Reviews

So....Apparently everyone has been using this stuff called "Eyelid Primer"....I had never even heard of it. The only "primer" I was using was the lotion I put on my face at night before I went to bed. I began researching it and actually purchased Bare Minerals Eye Primer from Ulta. It is FABULOUS, but kind of pricey at $18 for such a small container. 

Fortunately, only a couple weeks after purchasing the Bare Minerals primer I discovered ELF Eyelid Primer at Target. The product comes in a much larger container and comes with a sponge wand for easy application. It works exactly like the Bare Minerals product, but only costs $1. It goes on smoothly and keeps your eye shadow and liner in place all day. Needless to say, I will definitely be purchasing the ELF Eyelid Primer from now on. 

DOTD: Deals Of The Day...Animal Prints

CALLING ALL TARGET LOVERS!!!!

Today I was taking my weekly stroll through Target and came across this beauty. It was the last one in the store! Yes, I do realize it is January, but Spring and Summer will be here before we know it! It is a black bandeau top with an optional cheetah print tie for the top. As soon as I saw the animal print I was sold! It resembles a Victoria Secret bathing suit top, but was only a portion of the price!! I got this top for only $17.99! I plan on pairing it with just a plain black bottom. Needless to say this purchase made me even more ready for those long hot summer days!

I never go shopping and only buy one thing, so of course I purchased the matching cheetah print sticker nails!! I got these for $2 at Dollar General! I am in love with them! They were so easy to put on. You simply match the size of your nail to the size of the stickers. Then you file off the excess sticker. You can do all ten nails in less than ten minutes. The best part is that they don't have to dry and they don't chip! I am notorious for messing up my nails before I even leave the salon, so these are perfect for me!

DIY: Magnetic Make-Up Board

So...If you are like me I have tons and tons of make-up, but typically forget about them since they are either piled in drawers or make-ups bags. On Pinterest one day I discovered a way to get rid of all the clutter and actually organize my make-up. I call it a Magnetic Make-Up Organizer...clever right? Anyways, I love crafting, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Here is the final product!! 

So of course I am not going to leave you hanging, so I'll give you step by step instructions on how to create your very own!

Instructions:

1. Find a frame that will hold the amount of make-up you are wanting to display

(I found mine at my local Goodwill for $1)

2. Go to your local hardware store and buy the color spray paint you want your frame to be, spray adhesive, magnets, and a thin sheet of metal which they will be able to cut to fit your frame.

3. Pick out the pattern you want for your background. I personally am a lover of animal print, so I used a cheetah print fabric I found relatively inexpensive at my local fabric store. 

4. Once you have all of your materials, sand your frame down if needed, then spray paint it and let it dry.

5. While your frame is drying, use the spray adhesive. Cover the metal and then stretch the material you picked out across it. Cut it to make it fit, but leave some extra on the sides so you can fold it behind the frame to create clean lines.

6. While both of those are drying, using a hot glue gun (which is what I used) or whatever type of glue you prefer attach the magnets to the back of the make-up you want to hang up. 

7. By now both the frame and the metal should be dry. Place the metal into the frame. Use the hooks on the back of the frame to set the metal into place. You might have to put a piece of cardboard behind there as well if they is too much empty space. 

8. Once that is complete you are ready to load your board down with all of your fabulous beauty necessities.

Lets Drink To Fashion...

Since the day I was born fashion, make-up, and crafting took over my life. There is nothing I love more than getting all dressed up and looking pretty or creating a DIY craft. I will use this blog to show my latest Outfits Of The Day, fashion and make-up reviews, and all of the different craft ideas I try. Over the past few years I have been reading multiple blogs and have finally decided to turn my dream of having my own blog into a reality. I based the name of my blog, "Love'm or Leave It,"  on my aunt's consignment clothing store called "Love'm and Leave'm in Cartersville, GA. It truly relates to my aspect on clothing, make-up and crafting, which is "If I don't love it then I get rid of it."....so here goes nothing!
