Confessions of a Shopaholic: Spring Obsessions Floral Fashion Haul

Hey everyone, so I’m working really hard on getting a huge long list of blogs that need to be posted up. The list is about 8 pages long (12 point font Georgia) so you can only imagine how frustrated I am and how far behind I’ve gotten without a computer!

n

These posts I’m going to post tonight are drafts that have been sitting in my queue simply waiting to go up. They’re mostly from Spring time so bare with me!

n

During Spring I was hugely obsessed with florals (now it’s more neutrals like brown and nude + plaids of course!) I went out on a shopping spring and got lots of floral everything! Clothing, undies, phone cases, etc. this pink floral case is actually still my phones current case (mainly because I have the Rose Gold iPhone SE and it matches!)

n

This shirt was the best thing I ever bought and I think I’ll wear it to school tomorrow simply because! It’s sheer but only cost me $3! 

n

IMG_0279

n

Love the mini specs of lavender/lilac thrown onto the shirt!

n

IMG_0300

n

I also got a few other items including a new ance gel (ironically I never used it it’s still brand new) and a primer for my face. My false eyelashes haven’t been worn either I’ve been waiting for an event or a photo shoot that calls for it. 

n

Another thing I’ve been in love with are these fruit gummies they’re so good they got their own review (next blog!) so stay tuned! Sorry for my lack of posting! I’ll be replacing my stolen laptop (FINALLY) mid-September! That’ll help get me back on track 🙂

n

I also hope to post quite a few blogs tonight so sorry in advance for the spam! xo

How To Style: Gold VS Gold (Classy & Casual) – SammyDress.com (Part One)

nHey my loves! So my latest shoot features the lovely accessories from SammyDress.com! The first accessory is this amazing GOLD Sequin clutch handbag that can be used for upscale classy events OR casual everyday looks! I wanted to do both, so I decided to show you how to do it!

n

13719484_1377899452227212_1374476399114173717_o

n

n

n

The purse has two different handles the short wrist one (above) and a long chain (below in second outfit).

n

n

n

For the classier look I went with a bohemian vibe because I owned the perfect skirt to match the bag!

n

For look #1 the “casual” look I paired it with a summer fun “n” fruity “Sequin Pineapple Racerback Tank Top” off my new collection for my clothing line. The sequins of the shirt went perfect with the sequins on the purse. I didn’t want to OVER do the sequins tho so since the purse has so many sequins I made sure to pair it with something that only had a SMALL amount of sequins.

n

Be sure to HYPE Look #1

n

n

n

n

n

n

n

n

Look #2 is definitely more upscale and the skirt (it’s a skirt paired with a DRESS that’s BACKWARDS!) went PERFECTLY with the clutch it was amazing. The top half is the back part of an off-white dress. I wore it backwards so I could have the deep V-Neck style for the look. The skirt is a maxi skirt that is also off-white but covered in gold sequins! I decided to wear flat sandals for a bohemian look rather than heels. Especially with the location choice for the shoot I thought the sandals would go perfect and really bring the outfit all together.

n

The sequin clutch can be worn literally with any style if you pair it right! Definitely one of my new staple accessories!

n

How To Style: Pink Triangle Purse & Ankle Booties “Illuminati Status” – SammyDress.com (Part TWO)

nFor the NEXT accessory from SammyDress.com I put together more of a “City/Street” look. I was aiming for New York, but might be TOO LA for anything else. HA! The pink Triangle Gold Studded Handbag is REALLY adorable. I had to have it the minute I saw it! It zips on the side but ends at the top so you can tell the purse is a triangle shape. I keep thinking “Illuminati” status LOL.

Anyways, the ankle boots are also from SammyDress.com and could be paired perfectly with EITHER of these purses which is a huge reason why I decided to get them! I love Ankle Boots simply because they’re high heeled but still boots so they can also be worn classy or casual depending on how you style them 😉

Since I’m heading back to school this fall, a lot of my shopping choices are based on outfits or items that I would wear to school. I want to start wearing a LOT more heels just to practice my walking since I haven’t worn any in a while. Figured ankle boots would be a great way to start before smashing around in full stilettos!

How To Style: Floppy Sun Hats (Scala Collezione)

nHey everyone! So one of my all time favorite things about having curly hair, is that when you’re having a bad hair day all you need is a hat or a beanie and you’re good to go! I’m only saying that because even though it “covers” your curls… it really doesn’t cover your curls and the part that it covers is usually the part that won’t cooperate! Another great thing that I love about covering your hair with hats is the many different STYLES you get to choose from! The ALL TIME PERFECT style for Summer time, is of course, FLOPPY HATS!

n

I was given the opportunity to try out one of these new amazingly cute fuchsia floppy hats from the Scala Callezione collection for this Summer! I’m SO IN LOVE! I have so many different pink clothes that I can wear with it! And it’s PERFECT for the beach!! So I decided to style it two different ways!

n

The absolute great thing about these hats is that they fit ANY facial structure, come in multiple colors and are the PERFECT summer accessory for protecting your skin while looking cute by the beach or the pool!

n

Skincare: Freeman’s Feeling Beautiful “Sweet Tea & Lemon Peel Off Clay Mask” (Product Review)

I NEVER THOUGHT ANYTHING COULD TOP THE “DUAL ACTION BLACK SUGAR AND CHARCOAL MASK” it’s designed for HEAVY DUTY acne/blackheads but tonight I needed something SERIOUSLY HEAVY DUTY! So I shifted through all my facial mask packages and decided to go with the “Sweet Tea & Lemon Peel Off Clay Mask” because it’s made to clean out clogged/grimy pores.

n

n

I really don’t care for the “peel off masks” too much. They’re VERY sticky and sometimes a pain especially if they’re clear.

n

n

But since this was a PEEL OFF CLAY MASK; I went for it. Now I was really looking for something to literally RIP all the black heads out of my pores and close them. Lately they’ve been very clogged and disgusting so this seemed perfect and omg was it!

n

n

It’s not clear so that’s a huge plus. It went on like a mud mask which is also a huge plus. HOWEVER LIVE AND LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES.

n

This mask really does literally unclog your pores by RIPPING THEM OUT. Exactly what I needed and was looking for, but BEWARE! I put a little extra on for my horribly bad skin. I don’t regret that part. I used the entire package which probably could of done TWO applications MAX (a large bottle is avaliable for purchase).

n

WHAT I DID REGRET, is getting it too close to my eyebrows and hair line. This WILL RIP YOUR HAIR OFF all baby hairs beware! Also be careful underneath your eyes. The skin is sensitive and it hurt really bad when I peeled it off.

n

BUT OMG WAS IT 5000 times WORTH IT!

n

You could FEEL the gunk being ripped from your face as you peeled. All blackheads came off instantly. My face was left as SMOOTH AS A BABY’S BOTTOM. No joke. It was so incredibly soft!

n

No zits or blackheads in site and all my gigantic PORES closed entirely leaving my face smooth, looking nice and feeling fantastic!

n

The mask smells like lemon which is great, but it also burned when I first started to apply it. Remember to stay away from eyelashes, hair lines and eyebrows because this stuff UNCLOGS your pores leaving your face fresh and fruity scented!

n


nI really should of taken an up close photo of my cheeks to show you how clogged and bad they were! This mask is amazing and believe it or not MY NEW FAVORITE FOR HEAVY DUTY GRIME!! I did cry a little bit when it was coming off so really beware but man does this stuff WORK! I won’t use it as my everyday mask or anything. I usually use the Chamomile Tea Sleeping Mask daily before bed but using this when you really need to lift your face and get a new one. This is it. Look no further I guarentee this WORKS like no other mask I have tried lately.

n

Simply fantastic. I’ll probably need it again cuz I can’t stop touching my smooth face with my damn fingers! It just hasn’t felt this amazing in a while. I definitely recommend checking it out. I’ll be getting a full size bottle of this from now on instead of the Charcoal & Black Sugar. I’ll still use it in the small packages but this is my new go to for heavy duty acne. Let me know what you think when you try it out! xo

“It’s Forest Gump Related” (1970’s “Jenny” Lifestyle Editorial)

“It’s Forrest Gump RelI bated” was originally inspired by Kesha back in 2010/2011. However, one photo in this shoot stood out from the rest to me. It reminds me of a specific character from a popular movie. “Jenny” the love of Forrest Gump’s life. For some reason after seeing the photos the name never shook. Before we get the THE photo (or photos since there’s a good FIVE of them that make the Forest thing real), here are some other photos from the shoot.

n

n

Taken in Riverside, CA.

n

nShot by: Devon VP Photography
nStyling, MUA & Hair: Rose Pendleton
nJewelry: Vintage, Thrift Stores, Handmade, Venice Beach, I’m A Jerk Industries, Designers, Pop Up Shops
nBelt Buckle: Clandestine Industries
nFringe Bag: Wet Seal
nBoots: JCPenney’s

n

n

n

So the first part of the shoot isn’t really related so you’re probably looking at confused like you have no idea what I’m talking about. Especially since the outfit isn’t really VINTAGE and comes no where near the 1970’s! It was originally inspired by KESHA back when she wore feathers non-stop in 2010. After seeing the LAST part of the shoot for some reason I couldn’t stop thinking it reminded me of Forest Gump.

n

n

Let’s start at the beginning of the shoot!

n

img_3859-1

n

n

So, you might recognize some of these photos because I have posted them before. HOWEVER, I found the DISC with BOTH outfits on it and HQ resolution so I nipped my favs and here they are! (Well there’s TOO many so they’re all in the GALLERY) these are SOME of my favs! Check out the entire shoot before you leave!

n

n

n

n

img_3863

n

n

The water was very green and dirty. It’s used for fishing not swimming!

n

n

img_3861

n

n

Back in 2010-2012 I was very obsessed with feathers. This feather was from the ground (not the best idea) LOL I DID LOVE all the twisted tree vines and the photos came out good very lifestyle editorial I think.

n

n

img_3871

n

n

img_3870

n

n

My style was all over the place during those years! I was into fashion but knew nothing about it at the time 😛 I would wear JEANS AND T-SHIRTS TO RED CARPET EVENTS! It’s weird to look at a timeline of my style. It’s changed so much. I’m really proud!

n

n

img_3869

n

n

img_3868

n

n

n

Then we found a little spot that looked like a beach OASIS type deal! Or I think so anyway lol

n

n

Here is an up close shot of the jewelry pieces. They are handmade or vintage pieces that I got from antique stores or thift stores or designer pieces. The feather in my hair is obviously my clothing line I’m A Jerk Industries from way back when.

n

n

n

NOW! We’ve reached the last section(s) of the photoshoot. The part that begins to remind me of the character JENNY from Forest Gump!

n

n

PART ONE – The Bus Stop / “PEACE” from War by the Army Tank

n

n

img_3878

n

n

The entire movie revolves around a bus stop so I don’t really need to explain that one…

n

n

img_3877

n

n

img_3876

n

n

Smiling isn’t probably the BEST way to act when protesting for PEACE against WAR but…

n

n

PART TWO – Fishing. Guess it doesn’t really have anything to do with the movie, but I love how they’re silhouettes and not images of me.

n

n

img_3888

n

n

img_3890

n

n

FINAL PART – LEAVING/WALKING AWAY

n

n

this is the PART that I looked at the photos and said “It’s Forest Gump related…” I’m not sure why they remind me so much of her walking away but they do…

n

n

n

img_3891-1

n

n

img_3896-1

n

n

img_3897-1

n

n

img_3892-1

n

n

img_3898-1

n

n

img_3894

n

n

img_3879

n

n

This last photo is my ALL TIME FAVORITE from the entire set… I have no idea why, I just like my facial expression mixed with my hair, the outfit and the location. It’s an “in action” shot when I turned around.. REMEMBER this isn’t ALL of the photos! All of the EDITED photos can be found in the GALLERY OR you can view all of the UNEDITED photos (some are very dark and underexposed) on my FLICKR page.

n

n

Also, this is a rather OLD shoot so I posted this look on my Lookbook SEVERAL years ago, but feel free to HYPE my look if you like it! x

Beauty Basics: Spring’s MUST HAVE Scent(s) – Watermelon Lemonade!

IMG_0388

n

IMG_0348

n

My all time favorite scent for Spring has officially changed! Last year I was in love with “Love & Sunshine” the Spring scent from Bath & Body works but it’s officially moved over for my new favorite!

n

Watermelon Lemonade, a smell so sweet I stocked up on scented candles, soap, lotion, hand sanitizers, if they had it, I bought it! It’s such a perfect scent for both Spring & Summer. Not floral but fruity with a bit of tart exactly as its described… It smells so great I want to eat it! My second favorite scent is the “Georgia Peach” it’s also another fruity one. Maybe I’m tired of the floral scents and need a change but all my favorites this year are fruit based. Third place is the Raspberry Vanilla.

n

What are your favorite scents during these hot, sticky months? xo

Technology: Instagram Blues

Hey guys… So the other day I was explaining to my friend why I’m so obsessed with my Instagram and why I constantly delete photos and re-add them (to my @rose.pendleton IG NOT ROSIESAYSHELLO) 

n

My main Instagram is more of a portfolio but since I have quite a few trades obviously it’s not all just modeling. It’s supposed to be a “healthy mix” of photos with the following categories:

n

    n

  • Modeling
  • n

  • Acting
  • n

  • On Set/Behind the Scenes
  • n

  • Events
  • n

  • Video
  • n

  • Personal
  • n

  • Snapchat
  • n

  • Photography
  • n

n

However the mix is supposed to have more modeling photos than anything because it’s a portfolio. So to sum it up the posts are supposed to go in the following order:

n

    n

  • 3-5 modeling photos
  • n

  • 1 on set/backstage
  • n

  • 1 snapchat
  • n

  • 1 photography
  • n

  • 1 personal 
  • n

  • 1 repost/inspiration/art
  • n

n

With a very SELDOM (very few) posts in the acting, video and event categories. These are supposed to happen like:

n

    n

  • 1 video after 15-25 posts
  • n

  • 1 acting screenshot after 30 posts 
  • n

  • 1-3 event photos only when I attend an event
  • n

n

Which brings me to my NEXT area of focus. Color and eye catching ORDER of the posts. When I first started it was a healthy mix of color but I noticed as I went further the colors have patterns and decided to stick with the pattern it tends to start.

n

For example:

n


nThis is the very beginning of my feed. It follows the category order with and is pleasing to the eye/attention grabbing. As I moved on it turned more into a yellow/golden/tan feed:

n


nAfter the yellow it slowly turned into a blue feed then turned into purple:

n


nAfter the purple the photos changed to a neutral black, white and gray section:

n


nThen it flowed back into another yellow/tan/golden feed:

n


nWhich is where I currently am. The photos must FLOW and gradually change colors. I’m currently trying to get it to go into a mint green then green then blue (because I have a lot of photos to post in these colors). Not ALL photos look good next to each other. It has to have a healthy mix of horizontal and vertical while following the original categories as well as colors…

n

It’s my art in an art form. This is why the end of the feed which you guys see at the top/beginning is ALWAYS changing/being deleted and reposted. These are the photos I work with. It takes quite a bit of time for me to find a nice flow for the feed and when I don’t like it I just delete all the photos up to the color changing point and start over.

n

I hope this makes it more clear why my Instagram is always changing. I also have a lot of old photos that are really good and I want to post and I’d like to post all my old photos from specific things like events (but I can’t just post ALL THE EVENTS AT ONCE) because that’s too many events they need to be spread out. Does that make sense?

n

It needs to flow with the categories, color and have an eye grabbing appeal for not just myself but others as well 🙂 

n

I love finishing a section because since it takes so much time and I spend a lot of time on it its a very good feeling to finally like a section. Haha. I hope you guys look at my Instagram in a different way because like I said its my art inside of art! 

n

Have a good day guys!! 

n

Rose
