Tiny Dancer.

Hello loves!

Anyone else feel like a ballerina when wearing a tutu? I feel like putting on Elton John's "Tiny Dancer" and dancing all around my house. I'm serious. I'm letting my inner 5 year old out when wearing one of these skirts. I recently went to Rue 21 when they were having their Columbus Day sale, and I found this gorgeous skirts, so I being the shopoholic that I am, bought them in all 5 colors that they had. I regret nothing. You can purchase this skirt online here, so make sure you tag me on Instagram (@makefashionyourown) if you purchase one and post a picture of you wearing it!

Everyday Makeup.

Hi guys!
Today I wanted to share with you guys the products that I use for my everyday makeup look. Being a momma has made me adapt to a simpler makeup routine and a simpler routine for getting ready everyday as well. Back when I was in college, most of my classes were around 10 am, so I always got ready at my own pace, and went full on glam (except for the days when I woke up late and was running late), almost every day. Now, I have to get both myself and Sir Edward ready and I usually only have about an hour to get both of us out the door, so I've learned to keep it simple and use as minimal products as possible. Let me know if you guys use any of these products, and how you like them! I will talk to you all on my next post :)



-Cynthia

||CC Cream|| I love this stuff! I've been using it for a couple of years now, and I just apply it with my fingers 

||Concealer|| I used to have a love hate relationship with this product, but it's because I never applied it with the proper tool. I use a flat foundation brush from Sonia Kashuk for a flawless finish

||Blush|| E.L.F. blushes have always been my favorites, and this palette is amazing! I am currently using the "Dark" one because I love the colors for fall time, but when I'm going super simple, I'll use the light pink color in the "Light" palette

||Eyebrows|| I have been using this eyebrow pencil since my senior year in high school, and it isn't until now that I really am in love with it because I like filled in and defined eyebrows, but I don't like them super dark, and using this pencil in the shade "Blonde" gives me the exact look I want

||Mascara|| I don't really have a holy grail mascara at this moment, but I like the look of soft lashes that this mascara gives me. It gives me some volume and makes my lashes look nice without clumping them or making them hard

||Gel Top Coat|| I love this topcoat! It gives me the look of gel nails which I love, and it makes my nail polish last for at least 5 days without any serious chipping, which is a must when you're a momma and don't really have the time or energy to be redoing your nails

TBT: Pregnancy Style

Hello lovelies!
For today's post, I wanted to do another Throwback Thursday style post, and this time I'm sharing the outfits that I wore throughout my pregnancy. As you guys know, I didn't blog much while I was pregnant, and I didn't really take many outfit pictures, and that was mainly because I didn't fit into my clothes, and I for some reason had some aversion to buying maternity clothes. I know that sounds silly, but I couldn't find any cute maternity clothes or any that were really my style, and I hated spending money on stuff that I felt I was never gonna wear again after being pregnant, so for most of my pregnancy, I lived in some of the larger clothes that I already owned, and in 4 pairs of maternity shorts that I finally broke down and bought back in June. Being pregnant in the summer is not something that I wish upon anyone, because the heat is literally unbearable when you're pregnant. August was definitely the hardest month for me, and I lived in literally the same two sundresses that entire month. I shared with you guys about 10 outfits of days where I actually had the energy to semi put together an outfit that was presentable. If you guys would like more pregnancy posts in the future, make sure you comment down below or send me an email (makefashionyourown@gmail.com) and let me know :)

Stripes Galore.

Hey loves!
Okay, I'll admit it, I have a slight obsession with stripes. Maybe it's more of a huge obsession, but I can't quite admit to that yet. I know stripes make you look wider and aren't always so flattering, but I can't seem to stay away from them! Today, I compiled a post with all of my favorite outfits where I'm wearing stripes, to hopefully give you all some inspiration and maybe some courage to wear this print. I think stripes, leopard, and florals are the chicest of all prints, and if you've been following and reading my blog for a while now, you'll see how much I wear these. I'd love to see how you guys wear your stripes, so make sure to Snap me (@cynthiap18) or tag me in your Instagram (@makefashionyourown) pictures. Love you guys and I'll  post again soon!

Mommy Mode.

Hi loves!
Today I wanted to share with you guys a glimpse into what I usually wear on a day to day basis. I'm a mommy full time and I always like to stay as practical as I can when dressing, so most days I'm in either leggings or jeggings, an oversized shirt, flannel, or sweater, and some comfy shoes. My makeup is super minimal so I usually wear the biggest sunglasses I can find to hide the bags under my eyes, and my hair is piled on top of my head in a messy bun. Welcome to the not so glamorous life of being a mommy. I don't know how some women can go full on glam everyday when they have little ones, but for me, I just like to keep it as minimal as I possibly can. I tend to stick to practicality over glamour, and I think I still manage to look kinda cute. I hope you guys like this look, and hopefully there are mommies who are reading this right now, who understand the struggle. I love you all and I'll talk to you in a few days!

Fall 2015 Purchases (Part 1)

Hello Loves!
As you guys have seen on my Snapchat (@cynthiap18) and Instagram (@makefashionyourown), I have been on a major shopping kick lately. At the beginning of the season, I made a list of all the things I wanted to add my wardrobe this season, and I'm about halfway through with the list, and I've even added a few more items as I go, and do some more shopping, both online and in store. Luckily, since all of these were recent purchases, I was able to find the exact items still available online, and for the couple items that weren't the exact brand, I added links to items that were the exact same as mine but just from a different store or in a different color. I hope you guys find this post interesting and helpful in finding items you've been in search of, and hopefully it inspires you to go shopping and revamp your wardrobe for fall a little bit. Now, this is just part 1, there will be a part 2 in the next couple weeks, and maybe a part 3 next month depending on if I add more items to my list. Make sure you comment down below or send me an email with any outfit posts requests centered around items in the post. I love you all and I hope you have a great weekend!

Pink and Olive.

Hi beauties!
As I was planning today's blog post, I came across some pictures from May of 2014 that I realized never made it on my blog, and crazy enough the outfit I'm wearing in this picture is perfect for fall. Here in Colorado, it's still way to wear for what I consider appropriate fall weather, so if you live somewhere where the weather is as unpredictable as where I live, than the sandals in this look are perfect. If you happen to live in a place lucky enough to be experiencing the wonder that is fall weather, than simply switch out the sandals for some ankle booties in a pretty tan or cognac color, and you're set to go! I linked similar items below, so I hope you guys are able to find something you like :) I love you guys and I'll talk to you in a few days!
