i'm in my last term of school.
i will graduated on june 7th.
i will be 24 on july 2nd.
 
and hopefully i will go on to do great things.

My first set created in the Polyvore iPhone app. http://www.polyvore.com/iPhone

i think my boots go better.

I think "The Artist" will win for Best Picture at the Oscars.
I've been watching all the other award shows so I have a good feeling that it will win.

i really like the color combo i ended up with.

Kate’s Outfit:
Mulberry F/W 2010 Postman’s Lock Ankle Boot, $600 - $800
TopShop Lace Liz Flippy Dress, $62
 
Style Steal Outfit:
Lace Skater Dress, $40
Black Shear Tights, $16
Suede Ankle Boots, $47
ASOS Leather Mini Twist Saddle Bag, $17
 
The makeup is all brands sold in Drug Stores or mega-marts like Walmart. The only thing I would splurge on is a good set of cosmetic brushes and pads. The cheap ones make do for a while but they fall apart easily. If you have the money to spend on a nice set from places like Sephora or ULTA considered it an investment. I bought small set from Sephora over a year ago and haven’t had single issue with them.
 
Jewelry can be expensive if you buy directly from the designer or from a high-end department store like Nordstrom’s. Something important I have learned over the past couple of years is that you (and your credit card company) are going to be the only ones who know how much you paid for those pearl earrings.
 
Save yourself some money buy shopping at discount stores like T.J. Maxx or Ross. They sell a lot of the same items as the department stores for a fraction of the price. Nordstrom’s also has their own discount store called Nordstrom’s Rack; Saks Fifth Avenue has one too called Saks Fifth Avenue OFF Fifth. Some designers will have their own discount stores as well. The shopping outlets in San Marcos here in Texas have quite a few; Betsey Johnson, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, DKNY, even Hugo Boss! Find a good outlet center where you live and it will most certainly be worth the trip.

I'm trying something new called, Style Steals. It's basically just like my Celebrity Styles except that everything is under $50. So you can have the same outfit as your favorite celebs with out having to burn a whole in your wallet.
 
This is my first one.
 
Vanessa is wearing:
- Linea Pelle Dylan Shoulder Bag, $295
- Christian Louboutin Ankle Boots, $1195
- Original Trash W**** Denim Shorts, $93
- Hustler Dusty Tank Top, $54
- Vince Convertible Denim Shirt, $210
 
Style Steal Outfit:
- Denim Short-Shorts, $20
- 'Cheap Monday' Tank Top, $28
- Lightweight Denim Shirt, $30
- Lace-up Ankle Boots, $39
- Black Circle Sunglasses, $14
- Snap-Flap Cross Body Bag, $16
- Jewelry is from Forever 21; they have an amazingly cheap selection of costume jewelry so you can accessories with more than one piece and still spend under $20.
- Drugstores carry a wide variety of makeup these days, so you can customize to your own needs and wants and not have to spend of fortune. Plus, if you're really nice to the Beauty Consultants they just might have a coupon for you!

i just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has liked my sets, i know have over 45k likes, and to all of the friends i have made on polyvore over the three years i have been a member. you guys are awesome.
 
and a major thanks to the staff of polyvore.
they are the hardest working people i have ever known.

I really like that shirt. I have a few shirts that are the same style, but they are solids. I usually wear them with jeans and some wedges. I think it's a polished but relaxed look.
