 I swear I love these new shoes :) My outfit for Wine Affairs

 Inside San Jose Ulta

Want to get rid of acne marks or have glowing skin...Oxygen Peel is the product for you!

My free gifts

My current perfume by Philosophy (smells AMAZING!!!!) Chanel perfume, Victoria Secret perfume and Calvin Klein perfume

My Face Cleanser and my face exfoliator

Body Wash and Lotion

So I went to Ulta for the first time today....HEAVENNNN!!!! :) The staff was super sweet, informative and helped me find the best product that matched my needs.  I ended up purchasing the Oxygen Peel by Philosophy since my skin has been spazzing out lately...I think it was due to stress....BUT! I went with the brand Philosophy because majority of my skin products are by them and I am EXTREMELY picky when it comes to facial products and Philosophy is great for all skin types. I have been splurging on face and hair products because I feel when you get great quality products, you get great results which is worth spending the extra buckeroos. But anywhoooo, I will be posting up a video review hopefully at the end of next week depending how long the results take :)

Off to the gym! Have a good evening!!!

Spring & Summer Shoes

Hi!!!! My name is Olivia Irene and I have a shopping problem...my latest purchase, SHOES! I kind of went crazy for Steve Madden again :) Had to treat myself for successfully completing all of my finals and being a trooper for running on a few hours of sleep. Now that my school work is done....off to work on some projects for work! Hope you all are having a beautiful day!

My apologies for slacking with the posts! I had a busy weekend in L.A. and by tonight I will be done with finals!!!!  As you can see I have no outfits posted....I wasn't satisfied with how the photos turned out so I am going to redo them and also post up a haul (yes another haul) and a review on some new beauty products I have recently purchased. Since I am wrapping up the school year I will be posting three times a week AT LEAST!!!! Other then that....have a great day my beautiful readers!!!!!

It's good to be back home

My spring colors -- Browns, Salmon, Orange and Yellows.

What a gorgeous day in San Jose, it's good to be back...

even though I fly out to L.A. at the crack of dawn on Friday :/  Since I will be in L.A. until Sunday, I wanted to publish another post that would be back to back since I will not be blogging towards the end of the week. So look out tomorrow morning at 5 am....yes 5 am for post of what I will be packing and wearing in L.A.  Aside from that, school is almost over which means more time to blog, more time to focus on music and more time to connect with other and work!!!! Hopefully everyone is surviving finals and is having a warm beautiful day!

Spring Haul

You know that saying, "Work hard, play harder"....well I sure have been playing harder...in the stores :P Call me an addict, I just love my clothes and deserved a little retail therapy. The reason for this shopping celebration....I haven't even graduated yet and I just landed a great job that will become my career in the field that I am pursuing in!!!! So, I have to dress the role and on top of that, summer is around the corner...great excuse to go shopping right!?!?!  The one downer that I am terribly experiencing is not having enough space for all my new purchases which means....SPRING CLEANING!!!! It is very hard to part with amazing pieces because each piece of clothing has a memory to it whether we like it or not.  I told myself that if I am going to go on a shopping spree, that means I need to go on a cleaning spree and since I am moving back to good ole San Jose, I plan on selling some clothes online at the top of my blog.  If I am going to give my clothes away, I want to give it to someone who will actually take care of it and enjoy it.  Prices will be affordable so stay tuned for the opening of RIO's CLOSET hopefully in a couple of weeks :)  Have a beautiful sunny day!!!

Good evening lovely readers!!! 

I wanted to share a few visuals of my simple spring outfits that I wear to school or around the house (My "non-simple" creative outfits will be posted up by the beginning of next week)

Majority of the pieces that I am wearing are either from a local boutique, or a local thrift store...I'm not a mall girl at all...and if I do go in the mall I usually get my basics from Forever21 or H&M and get some quality pieces at Nordstroms, Urban Outfitters and so on. 

My top clothing item at the moment are...SWEATERS!!!

Even though the sun has been good to the Bay Area, the wind is a bit nippy and I think fun patterns or chunky sweaters with a whole lot of color are perfect for the bipolar weather until it warms up :) But....I'm done rambling, I hope that you all have a beautiful and bright Easter and be back for more posts!!!!

Hair/Head Jewelry

(I do not own the photos above)

Nicole Richie has impeccable style and I absolutely adore the head pieces that she has been wearing lately (she looks amazing in everything!!!).  I think this look is perfect for the summer time and works well with any type of hair! Instead of purchasing head/hair jewelry at any store, I recommend to create your own one of a kind piece by using any unwanted/old necklaces, belts, beads etc.  Here is a simple DIY by blogger All the good girls go to heaven.  I plan on creating one of these bad boys over the weekend, so check back soon to see my little creation :)
