3 Steps To Get Ready

To look beautiful and to get ready on a day to day basis, there are only 3 steps that every girl follows. Some girls may switch the way they get ready, but this is my way. 

1. Create some beautiful waves/curls on my hair


2. Get my makeup done


3. Get dressed really pretty



Happy Thursday!

Tweed Love

The first piece of clothing that I decided to style is the tweed moto jacket. I am completely obsessed with this jacket, it is a piece that I believe it was made for me. It is the perfect combination between chic, retro and contemporary. It is a statement piece that will be very used during the winter. I love the mixture of tweed with leather.
This month is all about the Holiday season and what a better way to pair the jacket than with a sequined top. 




Do you own a jacket like this one?

Style it!

I want to start a series of posts, styling different key pieces for this season. To do this I decided to ask for your help in choosing what pieces would you like to see me style first. Please pick the ones that you like the most and I will style those first.



Happy Friday!

Christmas Details

As it must be for almost everyone else in the world, Christmas is my favorite holiday. Everything about this important date is exciting. I love how the environment changes, the weather is nice, the streets are filled with beautiful and bright lights and just everyone gets into the Christmas spirit. I love decorating my house and having it fully ready for Santa. This is my first year living in our new place and Im loving the little details I have been adding so far.




If you have posted pictures about your decorations, let me know so I can see them!

Chopped it off

Hair is something that has always been really important for me. I have always loved long hair and the endless amount of different hairstyles that you can create with it. After some thought and some bravery I decided to visit the hair dresser and make her chop off my hair. I am so happy with the result, I seriously want to have it like this forever. I might even go shorter (I would never thought I would be saying those words). 
I seriously can't wait to show you different hairstyles and ways to do my new hair.


What do you think of it? Do you prefer long or short hair?

We just got started and are super excited creating new beautiful and gorgeous designs for all of you. You may be asking yourself, "Why C&P?"

Flowers for Autumn

I am a huge fan of the floral trend and want to keep using it throughout the seasons. Flowers are very girly and they just make an outfit perfect. This is my pre-thanksgiving outfit, it is so comfy, yet so pretty and put together. Cold days can get depressing so it is important to wear color and pretty patterns to stay happy and motivated.

Galaxy Nails

This is one of those manicures that I just can't stop staring at. As you may know already these 2 nail polishes are part of my favorites. I decided to combine both together and the result was amazing. For me, they look like galaxy and out of this world nails. 
Hopefully you get to try this same manicure and share it with me!


Nail polishes: Revlon (Vixen) & Confetti (Tazmanian Devil)

Happy Tuesday!

Best Decision App

Being a blogger allows me to be able to always try new things. I am always on the lookout for new, fun and innovative things. This weekend I got to try a very cool app that you can download for free to either your iphone or android phone. It is called, Best Decision App. Basically you just download it from the App store and it is a virtual store that first lets you pick what type of shopper you are (e.g., online, bargain, trendsetter, etc). Then it gives you some choices from different stores according to your previous likes. I personally got deals from: Walmart, Shopstyle and Amazon. It displayed some available products, ranging from beauty, fashion and home decor. 




Since I am a beauty obsessed person, I decided to try some of the beauty products offered by Amazon. I was so pleased to find an amazing deal on some face brushes by the Shany Cosmetics brand. It is a set of 12 brushes, that personally looked amazing. I will be reviewing them as soon as I get them. 



After browsing the app for different products and liking some of my favorites, I put some in my shopping cart and decided to check them out. The checkout process was very easy. It consisted of 3 easy steps: 
1. Login to facebook
2. Add a credit card
3. Add your shipping address



After completing this easy process, I ended up getting an awesome deal on something I wanted and will be very useful. Prices are very decent and it really makes you want to buy everything. I seriously cannot wait to see what they have to offer during Black Friday. 

The app is really easy to navigate and they give you different tips and tutorials during the first steps. If I could change something about the app it would be not having to login to facebook. I think that may be a little bit annoying for some people, especially for people that are very private. 

Overall, I had a good experience with this App and feel very pleased on having been able to try it. This app will be very helpful for me during the Holidays. Christmas shopping can get hectic sometimes but with apps like this one, the process can be way easier. If you wish to get more information you can check their facebook page

Happy Shopping!

Monthly Obsessions (October)

Now that October is gone, it is the perfect time to show you my October obsessions. These are things that I have been wearing non-stop during the past month. I am very obsessed with them. 



Statement necklace from Forever 21. Such an outstanding piece, it really completes an outfit.



Studded slipper flats from Forever 21. They are so unique and pretty. I love that the studs are not so pointy, and they are very comfortable.

Sugar lip balm, my favorite and Im sure it will remain like that for a long time.


My favorite late night dinner/brunch. Chicken and waffles are the perfect combination, and ihop just cooks them perfectly.

Do we share the same obsessions?
