April Favorites

Friday, April 29, 2016


April means spring is in full bloom and my favorite things become brighter. Fresher. Pinker.

Let's get to it, shall we?

On the beauty front we have this Maybelline lipstick (in pink & chic) that I've been OBSESSING over. It's matte and a lovely pink shade that's not too bright. Also, the staying power on this is AMAZING! Hours go by before I need to reapply. (am I Dr. Seuss?)

As mentioned here, this month I tried out Sonia Kashuk's chic luminosity highlighter stick. While it doesn't 100% cover my under eye circles (nothing really does, go genes!) it earns a favorites spot because it definitely helps brighten the face & leaves a hint of dewy glow.  

Okay, so my candle problem might be getting out of hand. (like, a lot) I can't help it. I'm a blogger, I like my candles okay? And Sweet Sangria smells like summer. And sangria. (I'm not good at describing scents but trust me, you'll love it)


Have I talked in depth about the Stevies brand? Steve Madden's daughter (who's like eight, it's fine) has her own line of shoes. Big deal, you think. But since I'm stuck in kid-size land, I'll take any opportunity to get adultish-looking shoes. My latest find? These fun crochet sneakers (here's a normal size look-a-like) are comfy & casual & I love pairing them with a t-shirt dress.....

Which leads me to my last couple of picks..... dresses! I talked about my love of stripes in this post & it's going strong. This month I picked up a Mossimo striped t-shirt dress and it is SO SOFT. SO STRIPE-Y. I like belting it or tying a denim shirt over it for more of a defined waistline.

So I've only worn this off-the-shoulder dress like, once so far. Sue me. The color is perfect & the crochet adds a little something, no? I love it.


SO. Your turn! Tell me your little loves this month. Anything I should try?

Mother's Day Ideas

Wednesday, April 27, 2016

Mom





Mother's Day is just around the corner (ugh I sound like a greeting card commercial) so I've curated a few picks for any mom/ lady in your life!

Personally, I like giving her a few little things or trinkets or a nice piece of jewelry that can also be worn for every day. A candle is never a wrong answer either!


What would you add to the list?

Chambray Twirl

Monday, April 25, 2016


Chambray is kind of a fun material, am I right, ladies? (You know it's gonna be a good post when I start it off with am I right ladies)

I love that it's a more lightweight alternative to denim, perfect for warmer days. The high neck halter cut on this Mossimo top gives lots of shoulder attention! Pairing it with an a-line striped skirt like this one adds some chicness. (& some twirl!)

I wore a variation of this look to a wedding on Saturday and it felt light & oh-so-pretty!

For a more casual look, I like these high waisted shorts.


Tell me how you'd wear this look!
