Meet & Greet: PrettyxGirlx81

So I went to Santa Barbara this weekend to meet up with my girl Zonelle from Youtube. Her user name is PrettyxGirlx81 and by god is she beautiful in person! Not only beautiful in person as in looks but she is a beautiful person all together. Super nice, down to earth, easy to talk to, mellow, fun, crazy, funny, and sweet! She's super awesome and I'm so glad I had the opportunity to meet her in person, spend a weekend with her, laugh, talk, drink, party & bullshit! lol

The only downside to meeting her, was neither one of us recorded much. We were too focused on enjoying the day, eating, talking, and just having a good time and getting to know each other.  When we were getting ready for the club, we kept talking about doing an outfit of the night video and we just never got it done :( We were too busy getting pretty and sexy for a girls night out! lol

Anyway, when we made it out to the club, we decided we weren't going to take our cameras because Monica, a friend of hers and designated driver said she'd take the pictures for us so we were all like OKay!! Big mistake! I'm always used to carrying my camera around and neither one of us took it this time. I think that was our biggest regret! We had so much fun that night and we both wished we could have captured so many funny moments! We are defintely going to get together again soon, so we have both agreed we're taking our cameras and we're gonna switch them so we both get random pictures on each of our cameras. The funny thing is that we both have the same identicle camera! How awesome is that lol too funny!!

Anyway, here is a video she posted up and I'm featured at the end, maybe a few seconds at the most and man, do I look mad squeezing that lemon lmao. And I've posted some pictures of the club night that Monica was able to capture that night! I can't wait to meet her again! And I'm looking forward to meeting up with other Youtubers as well. I never thought I'd actually  meet someone, but I've begun to really get to know a few girls and wouldn't mind meeting them down the road sometime. There are defintely some awesome ppl on youtube and it's great to actually meet up and make a friend for life. I had an awesome weekend with Zonelle! Thanks girl! You are awesome, and can't wait to meet up again!! xoxo Mayra

Movie Night - Salt

Hey gorgeouz!
I went to the movies with my bestie Liz, and a friend Karen. Liz is trying to get her license so when I picked her up, we went to her moms house and picked up her car so she can drive it around and gain more practice. I have a few clips I'll post up later! But maybe once she gets her license I'll share a little journey with anyone interested in watching.  Something's always up and going on when we get together so I'd love to share that with anyone willing to watch.

Anyway, I called shotgun for the backseat! I know everyone is like "why the backseat" but you know, I have been driving since I was 16 and I rarely experience what the backseat feels like so I just wanted to feel like a cab rider for the day lol and Liz was my chofer lol.

Anyway, since we went to the movies, I went with something very laid back and casual. Here's my outfit for the evening.

I wore some blue jeans by Paris Blues. I purchased these jeans at Ross for about $17 bucks. I loved them because of the worn out detailing on the front of the jeans and the washout look on the thighs and legs. They were very comfortable and very stretchy. I bought them in a size 14 and they fit snug but throughout the day it stretched out and ended up fitting perfectly. The back pockets have some detailing on the pockets as well. Here are a few pictures.

Oh...and incase you noticed... I'm sucking on some BlowPop Suckers Cely (MY2HAZELEYEZ) from YT sent me for my B-day! I loved em!! lol

Detailing on left thigh 

Right Knee

Pocket stitching with some worn out detailing

I wore a semi loose fitted cotton grey graphic tee that read "I heart Nerds" and had Snoopy d atop his house as we know him to. I purchased the top at Wal*Mart for only $9 bucks. The top is very light weight and comfortable, easy to breath, and the sleeves were not as fitted as other tee's so I really liked that as well because my arms didn't feel suffocated and restricted.

The length of the top fell right on my hips which helps conceal the stomach area and your side handles or problem areas as I love calling them. Shirts that sit at the hips tend to emphasize your stomach so if your stomach is a problem area you might want to wear tops that are more lengthy so you take the emphasis away from your stomach and focus it on your hips or bust rather than your problem area. 

I layered the grey top over a purple tank just to add some color and also help concealing problem areas. 

I paired up the outfit with some metallic studded thong sandals I purchased at Ross for about $5-8 dollars. I can't quite remember how much they were, but do remember they were a bargain! These sandals are very comfortable and trendy with the studs and can help turn up any casual outfit.

I didn't wear too many accessories because it was a casual outfit and the graphic tee was like an accessorey itself so I just wore some earrings my girl Cely sent me for my b-day. When I first saw them I thought they were sloped hearts, but the more I look at them the more they seam like leaves lol Dont know why I didn't catch that in the first place. Wether they are leaves or hearts, they are still super cute and I loved them. Thank You Cely!

Looking Back

I was going through an old portable hard drive and I found some pictures from previous B-days! Guess it's true what they say...we age like fine wine and get better with time! lol I could honestly say I look my absolute best, I feel most confident, and I love myself like never before! I love my life and all the wonderful people in it! The pictures below were taken on my actual b-day! Look how I've changed, it's amazing!!

Sexy Birthday

For my 24th B-Day, I went shopping for a cute and comfortable outfit to wear at night. I was at Ross and well...I found just what I needed and more lol.  I bought a few pairs of shoes...more than I probably  needed to buy in one day, but hey...it was my b-day and why not? I bought two different pairs of booties both by Dollhouse, some absolutely amazing and can I say extremely sexy Red Heels by Jessica Simpson! Omg these shoes are to die for. They are just amazing and super comforatble!! I was amazed at how comfortable they were by the height of the heel and how thin the heel was (I'm used to chunkier heels for support). I also purchased some brown heels because they were just cheap! $13 dollars for those babies and I said...why not! I also purchased some black flats with some zipper flaps at the front and those are super cute and comfortable. I'm actually wearing them right now and I love them!! Super trendy and stylish and will add an extra Ooomph to any casual outfit.

I also purchased my littel black and white leopard print romper at Ross for only $7.99! I found it in the juniors section...and though I may not be a Jr anymore I made it work! I dont care if it's not meant for someone my age...if it fits, I make it work and that's that. I also bought a pair of Paris Blues torn jeans and are so cute (I'm wearing them now) and super comfortable and have a really nice fit. I'll post them up after I post my OOTD today.

So for my outfit, as I mentioned above, I wore a black and white leopard print romper and I added my favorite red belt to the waist and paired that up with my sexy JS heels. I threw on a military jacket I purchased at the goodwill for 5 dollars! Yes that's right, that cute military jacket at the goodwill for 5 dollars! Ain't no shame in my game. That jacket is so cute and can turn up any outfit. I wore this jacket througout the night but once it got hot (after an unknown number of tequila shots) I took it off.  The first picture is us arriving at the club so my hair was still up and once we got inside I let me hair hang loose! lol.

Here are a few pictures of my memorable 24th b-day! It will defintely be a night I'll never forget! and It was defintely more memorable than my 21st that's for sure!!

My Bestie Liz aka Chubbs, B-Day Girl, and my Bestie from Jr. High Mayra (yup same name lol)

Chubby, Mayra, and Myself after a few drinks!

Random Pictures are always the best!

Me & My Partner in Crime <3 her

Apparently us being too sexy has disturbed the peace!! lol Cops had to roll out and check some fools who just dont know how to act around fly mamacitas! But you know we had to capture the moment!!

Tell Me Chubbs isn't one sexy gordita =)

Chubby didnt know what to wear this night. She swore the romper shorts were too basic and "beach" like and wouldn't work for the club and I said girl PLEASE! and so I helped her glam it up a bit but adding a belt to her waist and heels to match the belt. Now Chubby's a little shorty, she's only 5'1 or 5'2 and for those of you who  may think a belt will only make you look shorter, think again cuz I think Liz is one hot fly lil mama! lol She looks hot and sexy! And she was glowing that night. Goes to show that if you dress sexy, you'll feel sexy (And there's a fine line between sexy and slutty lol).

Now, onto my outfit of the night...I have to admit, I think these pictures came out damn sexy for 5am and a night of partying, drinking, and dancing! I know I look tired in them, but I like the essence I captured in the pictures, anyways...that's just me lol. Here's my mini photoshoot. Now I need to come up with way's to change up  my backround lol.

One of my favorites:

Yup, you can tell I'm ready to crash out lol

And here's what my outfit looked like without the jacket on. Still sexy and still conservative.

That tan in a can really made miracles here! I love my legs now lol

And yes, the celulite is still visible, but had I not used my tan in a can, it would have looked worse! lol so get you some tan in a can! And get some flawless looking legs with an even complexion too! And tell me that bronze glow isn't sexy!! My legs look flawless and I love it!
