OOTD: All black everything

Sorry for the bad iPhone quality of this shot. This was an impromptu OOTD.

Today I did some extra shopping for my upcoming Europe trip. Although I did manage to snag a couple pieces, I'm still missing the actual item I was looking for—a comfortable pair of walking shoes. I've contemplated buying a new pair of Converse, sandals, Vans.. nothing spotted! Anyone have a good recommendation?

This outfit seems a little plain for the summer heat but I really liked it as it's quite my style! I'm a big fan of monochrome and specifically black for this look. I was especially excited today because this has been my first outing with my new Alexander Wang Rocco bag.

Outfit:

Black dress - Theory (I've had the beading added to the neckline)

Nude sandals - Stuart Weitzman

Earrings - boutique in China

Sunnies - Urban Outfitters

Bag - Alexander Wang

Watch (mostly hidden behind the strap) - Nordstrom's
Nails - Urban Outfitters's Sunshine (review coming soon, watch out)

June Favorites

A couple of products I've been religiously using all through June:

• Beauty:

•

L'oréal Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream's is my go-to during the hot and humid summer weather. It offers a good amount of coverage while still being very light on my skin. Foundation can be too heavy and noticeable on my skin at times so this is better for me. The only downside is no SPF so if I plan on going outside I need to apply a separate layer of a sunscreen underneath. The shade is "light" and with a summer tan, I will probably need a darker shade. Check it out/buy it here.

Maybelline's Volum' Express The Rocket gives me amazing lashes with great length and volume. I typically used two mascaras for a daily routine but ever since discovering The Rocket I haven't needed to. At first, I didn't like the brush as it is quite big and I found it difficult to use because I have small eyes but I've grown to love the size as it can still get the small corner lashes. Check it out here.

I have been using NYX's Super Skinny Eye Marker everyday for the past couple of months. It allows me to create the perfect winged liner. The tip is not as skinny as some of the other liquid liners I've seen on the market but I like this medium size because it's quicker to create a simple line.  Buy it here.

Rimmel's Vinyl Jelly Gloss Lip Liner in Succulent is a berry red color and looks pretty on my lips. I wear it with some clear gloss over for a day look. Unfortunately, these lip liners have been discontinued so I won't be able to repurchase. :(

• Other products:

The Body Shop's Body Butter DUO in Macadamia feels like heaven on my legs. It is very nourishing without having a such a strong fragrance that will cause a headache. Definitely replenishing for my skin and will repurchase in other scents! This product is going to be discontinued too unfortunately but it's currently on sale here.
