I've been doing a lot of hauls lately, from makeup to skincare to jewelry, in stores and online. I've done more hauls, but there are just too many pictures to post, so here are just a few, which will be used for some giveaways I will be hosting in Instagram, be sure to stay tuned to my account @sweetgemsociety for when that goes live and what items will be given.

Big Walmart and dd's haul with an acrylic organizer, makeup, jewelry and skincare. Some of which will be in the future giveaways.

Purchase with many samples from Sephora.

Close up of the blue lipstick with the tow major samples un boxed.

The weekend festival palette from bh cosmetics.

Eyeshadow and blush palette from bh cosmetics.

Some more items from Sephora.

Big haul from Miss A, some for me, some for my mother, some for gifts and some for the giveaway.

Some great deals at one of my jobs, couldn't beat it anywhere else.

Some more.

Some looks I've created!

I was tired of the blonde and one of my employers doesn't allow blue hair, so I went for the next best thing...gray hair. To showcase it more, I went for blue accessories including my makeup and I have to say, it's been my best so far.

Bongo skinny jeans from Sears, tank top underneath from Forever 21, black lace top was a gift and blue sandals from Rainbow.

Earrings from Walmart, necklace from Miss A as well as the pearl bracelets, watch from Amazon and blue gemstone bracelet from DD's Discount.

I was in process.

It did not come out as I wanted, since I wanted a whole even color, but it wasn't that bad. I've been told I need to get my hair white in order to pick up the gray color, I don't know how that is going to happen, but I will keep trying. To tie this loom together, I paired it with blue jewelry, my Anastasia Beverly Hills liquid lipstick in requiem and my Morphe Brushes Jaclyn Hill palette with a blue color on lower lash line.

Another casual Friday in the fall, this for the month of November last year, just before my engagement ring arrived by mail from Zales. This was one of the newer tops I had bought and wanted to pair it again with my pencil skirt and booties for work, since plaid is a favorite for fall. This was also just a few days before Thanksgiving.

Plaid shirt from Rainbow, one of many that I bought from there, pencil skirt bought brand new at Goodwill years ago, blazer from Rainbow as well, booties from Sears and red Kenneth Cole handbag from Ross.

Blue necklace and earrings from Forever 21, middle promise ring from Walmart with other rings from Ross, watch from Target, new gold bangle was a birthday gift from Express.

Other wrist had a stainless steal bracelet that was a gift, pearl and blue bracelet from Miss A.

This casual Friday I decided to wear my black dress, which I hadn't worn in a long time, it was one I had bought during the time I was living in NYC. For a classier look, I paired it with pearls and my cardigan, for a pop of color was my red handbag. This was during the month of November of last year.

Black dress is Merona brand from Target, cardigan from H&M, booties from Sears and red handbag from Kenneth Cole Reaction from Ross. The belt came from a dress I bought at Marshall's.

I accidentally saved this picture with a bubbles filter on my phone, so I left it that way.

Long pearl necklace I put around my neck three times is from a site that no longer exists, which is sad because they had really good deals, earrings I made, pearl bracelets from Miss A, watch from Target, middle promise ring from Walmart and others from Ross, bracelet on other wrist from Burlington Coat Factory. At this point I was already engaged, but the ring hadn't arrived yet from Zales website.

At the orthopedic office, on Fridays we could wear regular clothes other than scrubs, casual Fridays, so this would be my first all out outfit. I would be either working at the office in scrubs or Publix in uniform and this was the day I could dress up and I would every Friday. The temperatures during these times aren't too hot in Miami and I am able to wear some fall items as long as I'm not outside too long and since at my desk the air hits me directly, I have to wear a jacket.

The new peplum top was a gift from the same friend that goes to flea markets and swap shops, skinny mustard colored jeans from JCPenney, brand new red Kenneth Cole Reaction handbag from Ross and booties from Sears. Of course I added my Henri Bendel shopping bag key fob to my new handbag.

Necklace is from JCPenney, earrings I made with charms from Micheal's, middle promise ring from Walmart with other rings from Ross, wood bracelet from Nicaragua, watch from Target and new gold bangle style bracelet was a birthday gift from a friend from her travels to Greece, apparently they are all the rage over there and they can be worn on the upper arm as well.

New red handbag I fell in love with at the store, which I went back for the next day since the red crossbody I had been using was falling apart from so much use.

I am posting two outfits in this post, one with red plaid and the other with red stripes. The plaid outfit would be my first post in my new place with my boyfriend at the time in July of last year, I still had lots of furniture to get to fill this emptiness here. It was just your typical day, I think on a day off, back when I used to get plenty of them. It was a cute new top I wanted to wear to just set up around here.

Plaid top from Walmart, bootleg jeans I finally found in a world of skinny jeans, also from Walmart and sandals from Rainbow.

Red necklace and earrings set was a gift from a friend, which I think is from a garage sale or swap shop, ring from Beya, Guess watch and bracelets from Miss A.

On this other day, felt like wearing a skirt since I barely wear any and since it was my birthday, I wanted to look cute.

Red and white crop top from Madrag, skirt from Ross and sandals from Rainbow.

Necklace was a present from my brother for my fifteenths from the middle east, lace-like earrings are from Forever 21, new promise ring in the middle from Walmart with the other rings from Ross and watch from Target.
