Sorry!

Sorry, I haven’t posted in a couple of days. Its been a pretty hectic week!! So my boyfriend got me a digital camera, so from now on no more crappy low res pics from my phone yay!! These are the last ones lol since i can’t take awesome pics of my camera with my camera.

This is my first digital camera in years, my last one broke about five years ago, and I guess I never got around to getting a new one ::tisk tisk::

Ok, so me and my best friend Ginger a.k.a The Pickety Witch are on a mission to expand our knowledge and love for fashion. To conquer this goal we decided to begin anew and finally get rid of all those unnecessary and ridiculous pieces of clothing that have been taking up space in our closets. You might be thinking “Oh god it can’t be that bad!” and all I can say is “oh! it sure is!”

Here are some pics of just some of the stuff I am getting rid off

Now this huge pile at a different angle!( excuse the mess!)

I also have a whole trash bag full of shoes. The process of getting rid of my clothes to say the least was a hard one. Almost every single piece of clothing had a specific memory or someone specific who gave it to me, but if I continued to let that get to me I would have ended swimming in memories or on the A&E show Hoarders! LOL. So to celebrate this decision I decided to make a few purchases at the mall this afternoon which ended up being great deals:

This Old Navy Cardigan has been on my mind ever since black Friday so when i saw that it was at 60% off I had to get it.Its just so girly! It was 29.50, I got it for 11.30. If you haven’t checked the After Holiday sale at Old Navy you have to!

This Cognac “Leather” jacket was 78 dollars and I got it for around 48! I Probably could have found one for a cheaper price but not in a plus size. This is a 2x, just because I wanted to make sure it fit on “my good” days and “bad days” lol. I just feel that a brown leather jacket is definitely a necessary staple to any girls wardrobe, be it winter, spring or fall maybe not summer… I was pretty impressed with what was being offered at Macy’s from amazing sales on pea-coats to really nice tops. I guess the ladies at the perfume counter were feeling generous because while there I even got 5 samples of YSL Parisienne and one of the new Bvlgary!To top of a perfect afternoon I decided to get something from MAC…

Yes its MAC Vanilla!! One of those pigments that is so versatile that you could wear it as a eye highlighter, or I have even heard of it being used as a check highlighter! Needless to say I am absolutely dying to try it.. Ill post a swatch and a look once I receive it.

Finally, I realized I have nothing to do while schools out. (Thanks budget cuts!) so this is what my days are filled with now…

Hope you enjoy..

Introduction/ Daily Post

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 04:48:00 -0500

So yesterday, I was so excited about my MAC haul that I didn’t even bother introducing myself, or even what this Tumblr blog is about! Where should I start? Well my name is Camila. I live in Los Angeles, more precisely the South Bay. I go to a community college and I am looking into becoming a registered nurse, a doctor, or a physicians assistant, basically something in the medical field. Even though my career choice is greatly based on the “exact” sciences, I am extremely in love with art, fashion, cosmetics, and Hello Kitty!!!(lol yes it is true… I adore her)

As far as this blog goes at first I wanted to make it a plus sized fashion blog, then I realized ” Hey I love makeup too much not to talk about it,” so then my idea turned into a makeup fashion blog, then into a food, makeup, and fatshion blog. I finally realized how eclectic my tastes were, and made the decision to make Eclectically Lovely into a day to day blog.

Eclectically Lovely will include various topics:

Fashion (reviews, plus size lines, and sales)
Purses (I collect them)
Cosmetics(reviews, hauls…)
Restaurants/ Food items-my hunny bunny(a.k.a boyfriend) is a chef so we go out to eat a lot so this area will include restaurant reviews, photos of dishes my bf cooks, and cool items we find in mom & pop stores.
Cool knitting/crocheting projects that I am working on

Hopefully these topics will make for an awesome blog. If there are any requests for more info on anything I post about please let me know. The best way to contact me is through my email: camibaezyahoo.com or my Facebook

Thank you so much for reading, hope you like.

MAC- WARM AND COZY

Mon, 28 Dec 2009 03:12:00 -0500

So, today The Pickety Witch and I went to check out the new MAC collection- Warm and Cozy which came out on December 26th, 2009. Warm and Cozy is filled with beautiful warm neutrals. After looking at every single item out of this collection I decided to get a shade stick in NURTURE, an amplified creme lipstick in WARM ME UP, and a nail lacquer in BLISSED OUT. Let me tell you i wanted it all!! I definitely would recommend looking into the Mineralize Skinfinish in BY CANDLELIGHT($27), the tinted lip conditioner in FEELIN’ GOOD($14.50), and all of the eye shadows from this collection(each $14.50). To see the Warm and Cozy collection click here.

Here are some pics of my purchases:
