Gele Chronicles: Light Blue Yes, blue again… I decided to do the all (light) blue version using a lighter gele as compared to this one here. I’m loving the lips especially for the fall. It’s just a lip pencil and clear lip gloss. Here I present to you another option for a gele look or if you’re simply looking for how to wear blue eyeshadow.

I only use the Pond’s Oil Control Talcto reduce shine and it has zero coverage. I also don’t fill in my brows. So what you’re seeing here (and in all my previous makeup looks) is my bare skin/brows. I’ll keep you all updated with time 🙂 Always, Miss LAJA
Spiked Stars Finally, a crop top I can call my own… I am quite extremely elated, over joyed, excited and happy. I’ve been looking for the purr-fect basic black crop top and I must say, it wasn’t easy. Another thing was finding a way to style it so it didn’t look too vava-voom or too downplayed. And of course, what other than to wear it with these yummy, ankara trousers? Let’s just say I’ll be wearing this till it dies. Now, I’d really like to collect them in all colors, short/long sleeve. I’m beyond ecstatic. My beautiful cuffed black and gold beaded bracelet is by… Fulfill Jewelry Black bracelet by Fulfill Jewelry Always, Miss LAJA
Transitions I’m still holding on to summer. In my dictionary (and with the ridiculously hot weather lately), I’m pretty much not ready for fall. Till the weather proves otherwise, I will continue to hold on to my dreams of a longer summer and of course, bright colors. Not that fall’s gonna change it but who knows? Happy New Month, my loves! The year’s really zipping by fast. Make it count! Oh, and is it obvious I love orange and royal blue? I should have named this post “Hues of Orange Blues” or something… Huh, that sounds quite nice thinking about it. Oh well… Happy Hump day! Bracelet: Fulfill Jewelry Always, Miss LAJA
Reminising France… Just some unrealeased photos from my 6 weeks in France… And mostly because I miss it like crazy and there’s a lot left ushared. Pictures like these remind me of why I love blogging so much. Enjoy… Le Sacre-Coeur… They just got married… Aww!

Red Diamonds Red, Gold, Black and Ankara? What’s not to love? This red ankara ensemble was perfect for the hot, Florida weather and I paired it along with my current favorite set from Fulfill Jewelry. Honestly, I’ve missed that place like crazy but it’s back-to-school time. I’m actually excited! Are you? Jewelry: Fulfill Jewelry Always, Miss LAJA
BlackOut All black. Unusual for me especially during summer but I brightened it up with these red flats and this gorgeous violet necklace and bracelet and a statement purse. As minimalist as I can go for now… Challenge accepted. And don’t forget to like my contest photo here on Facebook. Voting ends on the 18th if this month!

Bronze Age This look was inspired by this natural piece by Fulfill Jewelry with very earthly and natural colors. I decided to do a look using natural colors like gold, brown and bronze. Now that I’m thinking about it, I should have used blue on my waterline instead of black to make the eyes pop more. You could take this as a subtle bridal look. What do you think? Jewelry by Fulfill Jewelry PS, My photo was entered for a contest and the deadline is the 16th of this month! Please vote by liking and/or commenting on the photo here on Facebook.

Galaxy Yes, yes, this is an ankara dress. I’ve had both the dress and shoes for a while and together, BOOM. This happened. This dress reminds me of a galaxy with stars and planets and asteroids and all that. I love how this Fulfill Jewelry bracelet adds a nice touch of color to the whole outfit… And it’s a beautiful shade of violet too! 🙂 PS, Ahh! My 100th post! I’m so grateful for how far I’ve come and everyone that has come with me. 99 posts ago, I can honestly tell you I had the slightest idea of what I was doing. Reminiscing, check out my first few posts on Miss LAJA here, here and here. Thank you and cheers to more growth! Earrings/Bracelet: Fulfill Jewelry Yayy! For the 100th Post! Always, Miss LAJA
Gele Chronciles: Banana Bubblegum Happy new month, my loves! Can’t believe we’re already deep into the 2nd half of 2014! Another look in my gele series.
