 Good morning! Today is Sunday for us. I thought I filmed today because Jose and I are going shopping, so I thought I'd take you along with me. We woke up so late. I am not a person who sleeps in. I always naturally rise at like eight or nine. I woke up at 10.30 almost this morning, which was very out of character for me, but I went to bed a little later last night than I normally do, like one because I was up watching Bridger's hymn. Even when I stay up late though, I find my body pretty much always wakes up at like nine or eight. But not this morning. I slept in. Jose slept in. But we do have plans of going to the mall today. We got a order of groceries. I want to clean like mop and all of that stuff. So yeah, I actually have a pretty busy Sunday, but in a good busy way. Like it's stuff I'm excited to do. Our plan today, we're going to a new mall. So if you're from the Miami area, we went to a Ventura mall. Is that what it's called? Amazing mall, by the way. Super awesome. So we're going to Dolphin Mall today, which I think is supposed to be smaller. I don't know. We're just checking out the retail areas around us. Well, Jose, we need some work clothes. So we're going to pick those up. And then I also saw they have a coach outlet. So I saw a person online that I like. So I want to check that out. And then I think we might do Cheesecake Factory for lunch. I saw that they had one unless they have something better. Cause they also have a P.F. Changs, but I'm also in the battle of, I love to try new places to eat since we're in this new city. But you know what? When you come across a familiar restaurant, it's super tempting. So I'm doing my makeup right now. The palette that I'm testing today, I can't believe I haven't used this yet, is the Sydney Grace Be Mine Palette. I mean, I just knew it was going to be amazing. So I didn't feel like I need to test it, but I used mostly the middle row today, then the black eyeshadow for eyeliner. Gonna pop on some liner and lashes. But yeah, I am in the middle of watching Bridgerton. I think I've watched the first five episodes. So I have three episodes left. And I absolutely love the first season. Love the Pat McGrath collection. So I was really looking forward to the second season. I read the book for the second season earlier in the month, just to compare, I guess. And yeah, I'm not really digging the second season as much. It's like a little, I don't know, corny for some reason to me. And Anthony or Antony? I just don't like him. I don't. And I think that's why I don't enjoy the second season as much, because I don't like the main character of the second season. He's a little too intense for me. You know, he's not the Duke, okay? Who didn't love the Duke, okay? Anthony hates the way that he stares at Kate and just like so serious. It's like, aren't we supposed to love the main character? And he stares creepily at her and so intense and like shakes. And it's just not to me a love story that seems realistic, just, I don't know. I just don't like it. I'm not relating to it at all. I don't feel too much compassion towards the characters. And Nina kind of annoys me. I do like Kate though. I think she's a good character. But still, the love to hate relationship that they're featuring, I just don't feel like they're depicting it well. Like it's just not believable, you know? But that's my opinion. So yeah, I think it's a little corny. Definitely not as good as the first season, but I'm still enjoying it though. It's so pretty to look at. I love the outfits. I love the ball scenes. I don't think the music is as good either. If you've watched it or you're watching it, let me know your thoughts. But I'm not feeling it, no. I'm gonna finish getting ready. Then Jose and I are going to make some breakfast and head out. Like how pretty my makeup looks today. The Sydney Grace Remind is stunning. Let me show you. In case you haven't seen it. It's a fairly new palette from them. So they have like a more neutral row, a soft mobby row and like a deep smoky row. I mostly used the mobby row today. And I mean, Sydney Grace's shadow are really some of the best of the best. Very happy with my makeup today. It feels good to play with makeup again. I stopped it for a while, but now I'm getting back into my groove of really thoroughly testing things. And it feels so good. So this is what I'm gonna be wearing. The dress is from Abercrombie. I love to get my dresses from Abercrombie because they offer a short and you guys know I'm only four 10. So the proportions on the dresses are actually really good. They fit me really good. So I don't know that I like this dress, but I felt like wearing it. It's always the cold in indoor places here. So I like to have sleeves. And then I'm gonna just wear some black sandals. And then here's my purse. Isn't she gorgeous? This is an old Louis Vuitton that I stole from my mom. I remember she bought this at least 15 years ago. And it's just in such good condition. All things considered. And yeah, she never wore it anymore. So I like snatched it. And I just think it's so beautiful. So this is the purse that I'm gonna be carrying today. And jewelry. I'm wearing this simple heart necklace. I made this one. And then these simple gold hoops are from C-O-X-I-O. And yep, that's all that I'm wearing today. I'm doing a voiceover because the music was so loud. I would be copyrighted, but I went to the Bloomingdale's outlet and I tried on this dress. I didn't like this one. It was too big on me. As you can see, I'm on a flowy dress kick. I almost love this, but that stupid second layer there, I just thought was really unflattering. I wish it didn't exist because otherwise I would have loved this dress. So did not get this. I did pick up this one though. You can see it's kind of see-through though, but it's very rare for me to find a maxi dress. That's such a great length. And I honestly found the shape really, really flattering. So I couldn't help myself. And then I wanted something fancier. So imagine this with like a nice pair of heels, really dressed up, styled properly. I love this. The H&M Spring Collection is so cute. I love the color palette. Oh my goodness. The powder blues and the lavenders. I almost got that, but then I realized I didn't like it. And I wanted this, but it's too oversized for me because I'm petite. This is on my wish list, Jose. I like this one. Had to check out the CCO. You guys, this is their 75% off clearance shelf. Look at all of these Tom Ford goodies. Of course, they had all of the other SD brands, but I can't believe the Tom Ford prices. And then this is their regular line that they have for 50% off. The best palette selection I've ever seen at a CCO. If you are in Miami, go to the Dolphin Mall. Check out their CCO. Nothing like the Cheesecake Factory to overwhelm us. We have no clue what to get. It's like a book long. If you've never been here before, their menu is a book long and everything sounds delicious. Hey, here is my delicious shrimp tacos and what they literally make in my mouth, water. Cinnabon Swirl Cheesecake. I also got one to go. Red Velvet Cheesecake, classic. Jose, take the first bite. I need to see your face. Is it good? Good? Good? Oh my gosh. That might be my new favorite Cheesecake Factory Cheesecake. I think I like it better than the Red Velvet, which is what I always get. Bonne Cheesecake. Okay, the best part of a shopping vlog is coming home and showing you what I picked up. I think the most exciting line for me today was the cosmetic company store, what I got. So if you are in the Miami area, Dolphin Mall has the best Tom Ford Palette selection. It's not the biggest cosmetic company store that I've been to, but they had the best palette selection. I'll show you right here. You can pause. You'll see all of the names. They even had First Frost, which sold out really quickly when it first launched and sold out at Loon, which from Holiday, I believe, one to two years ago, that one sold out really fast. So they had some good popular ones. A lot of ones like Sue Sable, Ella Creme, Pretty Baby, so many that are actually still available for price. Definitely check out to see if you have a cosmetic company store is what it's called near you and check out their Tom Ford section before you buy any palettes from Tom Ford, because you can get them for 50% off, you guys. I couldn't help myself now. I've tried all of these palettes before. These were in my mom's collection and obviously when I moved, we split up some of the palettes that we had. So I picked up the ones that I really loved, that I left behind that they had at that store. So the first one that I got was Suspicion. This one is so pretty. So these were $45 each, which honestly is a really good price for Tom Ford and it's definitely what they're actually worth in my opinion, not $89. I will buy the newer palettes to review for you guys at full price, but that's only to review. If I were not a reviewer, I would not pay full price for those and hence I didn't pay full price for these, but for $45, I'm excited. I really love Suspicion. It's like a subtle, pretty gold palette. I also picked up Honeymoon. This one is pretty wearable as well, but it's more reddish burgundy tones. I'm sorry, I know the lighting is super exposed right now, but Honeymoon is more warmer tones, really excited about that. And this one, I'm pumped because this was hard to get a hold of. It was one of the first from this collection that sold out and you couldn't find it. So I couldn't believe they have this. This is Sola Elune. So this came out a couple of years ago for holiday, but it's so pretty you guys. It's super icy. You have a bluish shade, a slate gray, a peach and a white and it's just a perfect winter palette. So I never thought I'd be able to get my hands on this. I thought I had lost out on it since it was my mom's collection. I was sad about that, but oh my gosh, they had it there. I couldn't believe it. It's crazy. I can't believe I spent $150 on more Tom Ford palettes, but replenishing my collection. I'm really excited. The selection was phenomenal. I had to stop myself from getting more. I also got a free gift with purchase. It's this Smashbox travel size set and we have a vitamin glow primer, a photo finish primer and then my favorite, Primerizer. So hey, this was free. So that's awesome. Great trip to the cosmetic company store and then the rest of the items that I got were clothes. I mostly went so that Jose could get some clothes for her, but I of course found more things for myself. So I went to the Bloomingdale's outlet. I've never been to a Bloomingdale's outlet shop before. I got this reddish maroon satin dress. I'll show you the looks. I'm not trying them on today, but I'm saving that for a different day when I do tap cheesecake in my belly. But how gorgeous is this? It's by BB, I believe, yeah. And it was $30. I thought it was a really good deal. And being in Miami now, I feel like I've already been invited to more events and I don't know, maybe Jose and I might go to a really fancy dinner. So I wanted something a little bit fancier because I definitely, I was a PE teacher before this, you guys. I only have super casual clothes in my closet. So this I'm only for nine. It goes down to like my calves. And with a pair of really pretty heels, I think this will be really nice. I thought it was pretty flattering. And for kind of a satin, you fancy dress like this, I thought $30 was really good. But for this kind of material, it looks really nice. For a lot of the cheaper dresses or shirts that have this material, you can tell it's cheap. This to me looks pretty expensive. So I thought that that was a good deal. And then I got this dress by Ava and Esme in a size small. It says it's originally $128. I don't think that's true. I bought it for 50, which is probably more than it was worth. But I'm only four 10, like I said. So it's really hard for me to find maxi dresses that are the perfect length. So when I find one, I kind of gotta jump on it. And I ended up with this one. So it's got a gingham pattern on it and it's pink. And the only thing I don't like, which I think is why I don't believe it's actually $128. And why it's probably not even worth 50s because it's a little see-through. So I need to wear a slip. But like I said, it was a really flattering shape on me and length. It kind of reminds me of like a mermaid dress because of the bottom and it's, I don't know, the fit was super duper flattering. It's unfortunate that it's a little see-through, but I really like it. I love, love, love maxi dresses and flowy dresses. They're so easy to throw on. You don't have to think about what you're wearing. So I got that. I couldn't help myself. And then H&M had some good deals too. Jose and I got a lot. I think we got like 10 things for literally $100. Jose got a bunch of D-shirts for himself. And I just love H&M, not everything. Like you need to try your H&M stuff out, but the first thing, I got this in two different colors because when I like something, I buy multiple colors. Got everything in a small, so these are $9.99 and they're just cute little colored crop tops to wear with like skirts or jeans. For me, I envisioned these with skirts because I have some skirts that I feel like would look cute with this. So I got a yellowish because I thought it'd be pretty for the summer. And then I also got it in white because white goes with everything. The white's a little bit safer, so make sure you wear a nude bra with it. But I'll see if I can find these online because they're super cheap, really easy to throw on. And then these, I can't believe are $9.99. And I got them in neutral colors. No, I just got one color. I picked up a cream as well, but I have so many cream tops that are kind of this style. So I wanted one that was actually like more neutrally brown. So I got this, it's a square neckline. Again, it looked really cute with like white jeans or something I was thinking. I like these kind of tops to wear in my videos as well. They look really cute. And then surprisingly, H&M Denim is really hit or miss and more so miss than hit for my body's type. But I got, I don't even know what they are. They're like paper bags, pants and a tan color. I don't have pants this color. And something about this is still casual. And I actually liked the fit on these. These are a looser fit for sure. I got them in a size two. Usually H&M pants don't fit me in a size two. So these run definitely big. I was debating between the two and the four, but the four was so big on my legs that I went with this. But I think they're super cute and casual to wear with some flip flops and easy crop top. That's all I got today. I showed you guys some clips in Coach. I have gotten into Coach lately. I love love purses. I don't buy them too often, but my problem was I fell into Purse YouTube, okay? I've always been into purses. I would pick them up periodically, look through the websites, but it was a totally healthy relationship. Ever since I discovered Purse YouTube, now it's like my new obsession. So I went into Coach and there's a Purse. I was looking for a different Purse to see what it looked like in person. They didn't have the color that I wanted, but I came across this Purse. And this Purse is on my wish list. It is so cute. I would get the smallest size. They sell them in different sizes, but me being so petite, I really like really small purses. So that was super duper cute. I love Coach outlet. I tend to buy most of my purses from the outlet stores because they're just cheaper. They're still high quality, in my opinion, but more affordable. You missed it yesterday. This is not from today, but if you follow me on Instagram, I was talking about how I was looking for a work tote bag. So something that I could carry like my planner and my laptop around, but have it not be too big because I am so small. So just the right size that was cute, but still casual. So I ended up picking up. I went to the Mark Jacobs store in the design district and I picked up the tote bag in this color. It is so beautiful. I didn't even see this color online when I was looking. I was gonna get the green shade that they had that's like really popular and you find it everywhere. But when I went in store, I saw this and I absolutely loved the black trim. And I definitely wanted canvas because I can see myself bringing this to like the pool and stuff. So I wanted it to be casual. I didn't want a leather one. And I like how there's not too much contrast between the letters and the actual canvas because I feel like it could look a little tacky, not in a bad way. I like all of them, but I just like that there's not as much contrast. And some people wear it like this to where you can't see the actual letters, but I'm super happy with it. It doesn't look ginormous against my body. I love how it holds its own structure. So it makes it look a little bit more clean. It makes you look more put together. And it's like, you know, it's still casual and cute and it fits my laptop, which I can't believe. It does also come with this strap right here that you can take off. And then the inside, I had somebody ask me on Instagram, this is what the inside looks like. And then you have this flap here, which has a couple of slits and then a zipper for you to put your stuff in. So this is my newest bag, which is the only reason why I didn't pick up that coach purse that I really wanted because I literally just bought it back yesterday. We'll see how hard I'm thinking about it. I might pick that up. I'll keep you guys updated. So anyways, I only figured out last year that coach outlet had their own website. I would always go in person to the outlet store. Kate Spade is my weakness. Kate Spade has a chokehold on me, but I didn't know they had their own outlet websites. If you didn't know that, now you know. But anyways, I'm gonna close off this shopping vlog. I need to get myself together for the week. It is already almost seven o'clock. Oh my goodness, I need to mop. I need to do stuff. Okay guys, I hope you enjoyed this shopping vlog and you had fun. I will try to put all that I can find online and link everything that I showed you guys today. And I will see you guys in the next one. Bye guys, have a good one.
