OOTD | For an Interview + Announcement

Hello, Everyone!

So, as you may know I left my job of a year and a half on October 15th because I was just sick of it and wanted change.

About a week later I started freaking out because I've had a steady and reliable income for all of these months and now I'm just kind of floating...

Until Friday.
 I got a job interview, dressed up real nice, showed up to the place, heard what they had to say, and ended up declining their offer and returning home.

In that moment I remembered how I felt in my old job and I imagined what my attitude would be if I worked there, and I came to the conclusion that accepting that job offer would have been like throwing away all of my personal pep-talks and my desire to want MORE in life.

I got home touched up my make up and shot an OOTD because when in doubt... Blog.

This outfit is very versatile- I chose to wear it to an interview because I didn't want to look like everyone else with the standard black pants and white top so I mixed up my choices a little bit and decided to trust Fat Amy: Business at the top, party at the bottom.

I love this outfit because you can wear it day or night, accessorize it up or down, and you can change it up with vibrant colors or keep it muted with black and white.

 

This was created with a business purpose in mind, but after the interview had finished I didn't want to change out of it because it made me feel really empowered and that is what we want after all, right?

 

I hope this post helps you all on your business days, regular days, or fun nights out!

 

I know I don't usually post on Saturdays but I only posted once last week and I didn't want to wait until Monday to show this outfit to you!

 

Regular posing schedule will be back Next Week- Monday, Wednesday, and Friday

My Go-To Fall Outfit | Day & Night

Hello, Everyone! Today was the absolute perfect day for this outfit so I am SO happy that I trusted my instincts and waited until today to shoot these pictures, (well my mom did) - Thank You, Mom.

Unfortunately I was running a little behind schedule and I didn't want to take these pictures right in the middle of the afternoon so I scrambled out of the house with my camera in hand and when I got to the location MY MEMORY CARD WAS MISSING. I had to shoot these on my iPhone, and although they're not up to par with the vision I had in mind I hope that the quality is still good enough to inspire your outfits, because after all that's the point of these :)

So This little black dress was an amazing steal I grabbed onto at Marshall's for $12 and if you go now, you'll probably still be able to find one similar to it. My shoes are from YEARS ago but I take really good care of them and they have proved true to me season after season.

My Coach bag was a present, but I believe it is from the 2013 Fall Collection, It is completely leather so it's more on the pricier side but if you're on the hunt for a medium sized satchel that is durable I would recommend this one or one similar to it. Coach is pretty consistent on their equestrian style designs during Fall which I am amazed with.

Okay so here's the fun part ladies, If you're anything like me and you're pretty caught up with time but don't want to be seen wearing basically the same thing, something that I do ALL the time is switch up my accessories or maybe even add some.

With this look I decided to switch up my shoes to the cute little booties that I showed you all a few posts back, and I added this faux leather jacket that I got at Sears a year ago for $8 ! Yes, I said $8!

So hopefully this gives you a little bit of style inspo and if you're wondering, I'm wearing the My basic MK watch, and My flowery gold bracelet from Charming Charlie.

MOTD:
Foundation: YSL Le Taint Touché Éclat
Eyes: Urban Decay Naked 1 Palette
Lips: MAC Diva

I hope you all have an amazing, crazy, and safe weekend!

I'll Wear Black on Everything

 

 

 

 

 

 

Black is the shade that my closet cannot take enough of, no matter the season black will always be incorporated in my outfit because it just works; it makes me look older, professional, and mature. I may not be all of those things but I'll fake it 'till I make it.

 

Being a shopaholic is so much more than having an impulse to buy, it's having your mind wander in a million different directions wanting to own the next best thing and quite frankly I think last week I might have bought my favorite Item of the season.

 

I am currently really loving Danielle Peazer's style (You can check her out on Instagram @dcp1006 or for more detailed posts on her outfits you can visit her blog Idlelane.) I'm actually just captivated by her ability to wear dark colors with such ease, and after shamelessly scrolling up and down through her posts I realized that it's not her entire outfit that is dark, it's just select pieces that she styles to make her outfits come off that way.

 

So, while I was out shopping last week I made it a point to shop for select pieces that would compliment my outfit instead of overwhelming it.

 

And I finally found precisely what I had been searching for.

 

The black Nine West mini back pack just SCREAMS London to me and I feel it would look gorgeous with just about anything but especially well with a fancy jumper and a chunky necklace giving off a chic, school girl vibe.

I've been wearing it just about everywhere and I love the way it stands out from a crowd.

 

 



 

Also from my complimentary pieces was a new pair of heeled booties which I saw and didn't even feel guilty after purchasing because they are the perfect height and the perfect length above my ankle. These will go amazing with tight skinny jeans, rolled up pants, or faux leather shorts paired with some tights.

 

These seasons (If you haven't been able to tell) make me extremely excited. You can wear as much black as you want, dress as heavily as you want, and still manage to wear dark makeup without looking like a total crazy person. It's wonderful.



 

 

I'll be posting many OOTD'S this season hopefully incorporating these babies within them.

 

What are your favorite Fall/Winter Items?

Casual Summer Day | OOTD #1

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is just and easy summer outfit that can be interchangeable with different pieces, and easily brought from a day to night look. The shirt itself is very versatile, if paired like shown above it s ideal to be worn on a hot day out where errands need to be made but you still don't want to look like you're careless. Equally as easy, this shirt can be paired with black shorts and some strappy sandals and worn out to dinner which is why I love it so much especially during Florida's summer heat.
These High waisted shorts are my everything during summer; I took them on my cruise and wore them both days; they are SO comfortable, it had taken me a good while to finally invest in a pair but I'm really glad I did.

Summer Jewelry Finds

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This won't be a long blog post simply because I think that the pictures speak loud and clear about the kind of jewelry I was looking for. There are only 2 earing styles in 2 different colors; the chandelier styles go great with almost any outfit especially the blue ones when all that's missing to complete an outfit is a pop of color. The gold ribbon-like earrings are so vintage and beautiful, when they're on they elongate my neck and make the simplest dress look professional. I've had them for about a week now and I've worn them all because I am literally obsessed. 

Every season I try to buy clothes, make up, jewelry, etc. that go along with the colors that pertain to it, and I noticed that gold was very on trend and I loved it!

What's In My Bag | Michael Kors Medium Selma

Good Morning!

It is not only the weekend, but the first Saturday I have off in a very long time and I am thrilled!
Being the morning person that I am, I woke up feeling excited for the day that lies ahead even though it will most probably be spent blogging- as I am doing now, and studying for college.
But, I have been meaning to share with you all one of the two new bags that I recently purchased for myself because I am so in love with it, and I feel like the design is perfect for every occasion.
I've never bought myself a 'high end' bag before; so I splurged on myself and purchased two. One of which I will show you now and it is the Michael Kors Medium Selma Satchel in 'Optic White.'
It has the appearance of a tiny body, but large on the inside, not crowded with many pockets, and feels sturdy with Michael Kors's signiature Saffiano Leather.

Enough with the rambling, Elizabeth.
Here is my new bag, and what's in it :)

 

What I love about this bag is the gorgeous gold detailing in which it doesn't appear to be obnoxious and gives a nice contrast to the icy white color of the bag. It's Stunning.

 

My daily planner that I cannot live without alongside my pens, pencils, and highlighters because yes they all have different purposes.

 

Standard Leather Wallet from Kate Spade Saturday.

 

I always have my iPad mini with me and there is some shameless propaganda ^ Go follow me on Instagram @livelizlove

I like to keep the goodies inside my bag as simple as possible but don't be fooled, by the end of next week I'll have triple as many products- it's a miracle I only have this many.

Products:

Victoria's Secret Passion Struck Lotion
Bath & Body Works Vanilla Icing PocketBac
Bath & Body Works (mini) Endless Weekend eau de parfum
MAC Cosmetics Viva Glam III
The Body Shop Colour Crush Lipstick

What bag have you been dreaming about lately?

I am now on Bloglovin'!

I'm actually pretty excited to announce this, bloglovin' reminds me of Pinterest except it's detailed and amazing and I love what I've seen so far! 

It's very easy to create and even easier to find blogs that suit your interest! So feel free to follow my blog on there :) 

<a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/4063556/?claim=9teyp6yj92y">Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a>

Here's to New Beginnings.

LiveLizLove's was initially created as a screen name that at the time I thought was quirky and fun. Yet as the days and months unfold I have come to realize that I am LiveLizLove.
This sort of thing happens when you overhear someone talking to another person and they refer to you as your so called 'screen name.'
LiveLizLove is a reminder to myself to not only Live my life but also Love and experience every second of it.
This is why I've made the decision to start fresh from this blog and not make it a primary focus just on fashion and beauty, because there are so many more things in this life that deserve to be shared.
Although, Fashion and Beauty will still be featured because that is also part of who I am, I have chosen to make this a 3 part blog, including a lifestyle section in which my life and events, and ideas, and anything random may appear.
I've put a lot of thought into the idea, and I hope that you enjoy the new Journey that I've chosen to go on.

Love,
Liz
