Sounds Like Noise

Happy Friday! I'm pretty sure I jinxed myself in the last post where I talked about Chicago weather getting better because it has been gloomy all.week.long. At least something bright came into my life - the newest addition to my lipstick collection named "Sounds Like Noise" by MAC. On their website they say:

"Colour plus texture for the lips that made M·A·C famous. Limited-edition shade of Sounds Like Noise, a true bright orange inspired by Hayley Williams."

It was an online exclusive/limited edition & inspired by the awesome Hayley Williams from Paramore, so you know that means - I had to have it. I definitely agree that it is a true orange - not reddish, not pinkish, but a real orange on your lips. It says it's a "matte" finish, but I think it's a bit creamier than matte and that's a-okay with me. One thing to consider when buying: it definitely settles on the lines/cracks of your lips - so you better scrub your lips and moisturize before putting this baby on! Final verdict? I'm in love.

PS: Sorry for the shit lighting in these photos.

What I Wore To Work Yesterday

The title says it all, doesn't it? 100% of the time I never am able to take any OOTD's for my blog if it's a full work-week. I thought I'd take a couple quick photos on my phone to post on here since it'd be kind of interesting to see how "put together" I might look as a "young professional" - but who am I kidding? Anything too constraining and adult-y feels so uncomfortable to me. I wore a messy bun...that says it all.

Anyways, here's a quick phone photo recap of what I wore to work yesterday.

Obsession alert: Totally into midi rings at the moment!

Bonjour!

Pastel Dreams Lookbook | Photos

I know there's been a gap in between my posts but I'm getting back into the swing of things - life has been like a roller-coaster recently. Also, I finally turned 23 and had the best birthday I could have asked for. This is my MJ year, and let's hope it's as stellar as Michael Jordan's career, haha. 

This post is the picture version of the lookbook video I posted a while ago that you can watch here!

PS: Happy the weather in Chicago is starting to slowly feel like Spring.

Pastel Dreams Lookbook | Video

 Decided that I needed to re-inspire myself to stop wearing black too much, so I got my most "pastel" clothes and created this lookbook. It's not meant to be a Spring lookbook, but I see how it can be taken that way. Also, as I live in Chicago, it is still SNOWING/COLD at the end of March so some of these outfits might not be totally appropriate for the weather in your location, but hopefully you can find some inspiration from it. Enjoy!

PS: Watch in HD!

I can't believe this is my first post on collections - my blog name is Obsessions and Collections, afterall.

"Freak Like Me" OOTD

I'm back with another outfit of the day (well, more like an outfit for the blog that I wish I could wear if the weather decided to stop raining/snowing). I was listening to Santigold's song "Freak Like Me" (which you can hear below) and it made me want to go overboard with all the mismatched leopard and blue lips! Some will like it, some will hate it, but who cares - as long as you're having fun, that's all that matters. PS: I also have the OOTD on my YouTube and you can watch it by clicking HERE!
