Red Hot…

Happy Wednesday Loves! Ok, so this is really odd for me to admit and say, but I found this outfit shoot in my photo library from 2 months ago and boy was I shocked. Yes, I LOVE the red bag in this look and of course my outfit, but it kind of hit me about how big I was getting without realizing. You know when those pounds kind of creep up on you and your not sure how they got there? Well…looking at these photos and knowing what I know now, action had to happen and so glad it has. I went on a strict paleo diet and have been hitting the gym everyday and the pounds are shedding, inches shrinking and I’m feeling better than ever…these photos were a reminder of how far I’ve somewhat already come. Now to break down my look rather than my personal journey haha! My skirt is from Kohls…LC By Lauren Conrad to be exact. My top is from Nordstrom…a clearance find of course 😉 The real show stopper…my bag. It’s from Neiman Marcus Last Call…I loved the nude one so much that I bought it in red…great for my closet not so great for my bank account haha! However I rationalize it by the fact that it’s identical to the red rockstar tote from Valentino…at a fraction of the cost!My shoes are an oldie but a goodie from Coach. They go with everything and dress up any look! You can never go wrong with black strappy sandals…right ladies?Shop My Look <3

NYX Please…

Happy Tuesday Loves! While I am far from a beauty expert, there are times where I become slightly make up obsessed and this weekend was one of those times. First off, I am HORRIBLE when it comes to finding the perfect beauty products for me. Foundation is my arch nemesis…every time I pick a product I always second guess and pick the wrong shade or apply it in correctly, you name it I do it. Well while spending some quality time at Ulta over the weekend I discovered this baby…NYX HD Studio Foundation and may I say this…it’s AMAZING! If a girl who barely can do your makeup is telling you this product is easy to apply, gives light to full coverage depending on what you want and won’t break the bank…then trust me on this, it’s something you MUST try <3 I’m obsessed. In order to set it throughout the day since I get oily I also got the Mineral Powder from NYX so I can not look shiny…isn’t that the worst!Now I also learned (from years of applying my makeup incorrectly) that no matter what, your foundation never changes…meaning this. Stick with your natural skin tone, just because you get tan in the summer or feel you look pale doesn’t mean you start changing shades when it comes to foundation. I’ve now spoken to tons of beauty gurus…bloggers, make up artists, estheticians and more…your base never changes, if you want color use bronzer baby! My personal favorite is the Matte Bronzer from NYX above…comes in 3 different shades and gives great beach like color! Now if you’ve never tried NYX Butter Gloss…ladies your missing out on life. It’s first off so cheap (usually $4-$6) and it gives a smooth and shiny color without leaving your lips feeling dry or sticky. This is my savior…I can apply and re-apply it all day long! Figured I may as well share my go to beauty shopping accessories…my phone because 1) I don’t purchase without coupons & 2) Retail Me Not in Ulta is your best friend. There are always coupons and I usually also type a list of products I need in the notepad on my phone so I don’t forget. My cosmetic bag is from Fendi and get ready for this…I purchased it at…Costco! Yes ladies did you know Costco sells Fendi? I was beyond thrilled when I saw they carry this makeup bag and got even more thrilled when I saw the price $115 (for the large) woot woot! Who would have thought Costco could be so fashion forward 😉 I’m off to play with more makeup…I’m attempting to learn how to do my eye makeup using all my new eye shadow shades from NYX…any suggestions? I’m the worst when it comes to doing my eyes…oops!

Happy Monday loves! Today’s look is an oldie but a goodie…I realized I have this look on my banner above, but never broke down the shopping details…oops 😉 I hope you all had a nice weekend, I know I sure did! What I love about this look is this floral scuba skirt from Target…isn’t it great? I love all the colors in it, especially how I can rock it with a cute aqua tank <3 I love color for summer. I found a similar skirt from Last Call…with a mixed pattern…obsessed!My shoes are again…a Payless find! Yes people…Payless <3 I seriously love them…don’t worry I found similar nude sandals from Nasty Gal! My bag is my forever favorite Rebecca Minkoff Affair Bag in classic black. Chic, classy and simple. Has tons of room for all your essentials and is amazing quality! My prayers for the perfect going out bag have been answered 😉 I can’t live without a chic white blazer. I feel it pulls any look ‘together’ and is great for a night out or a day at the office. My statement necklace is from Laila Rowe…they have the best jewelry for less 🙂 Great pieces to make any look sparkle! I found a similar white necklace from ASOS as well!Shop My Look Below <3

Concert Crushing…

July 12, 2014

Happy Weekend Everyone! Summer is the season for concerts! Whether your into rap, pop, rock or hip hop, one thing that’s always a must is attending some awesome concerts! I plan on attending a few this summer…have I mentioned I’ve been to over 50, yes I’m kind of obsessed…oops!

One of the hardest things I find is deciding what to wear. If it’s outdoors you want to dress cute but also comfortably and within minutes I can feel my face getting oily and my lips dry so…here is my survival guide (click each item to shop direct)!

You can never go wrong with sneakers…although sometimes I decide to be dressy and wear heels to a show, half way through I’m switching into flats or flip flops…so I figured Converse or cute Espadrilles like these ones from Rebecca Minkoff are perfect concert attire!

If you are outdoors, spray sun screen before you head to the show…you don’t want to come home looking like a Lobster…no matter how much you say burn turns into tan, the sun burn is pretty painful the next day 😉

I also love just rocking a simple pair of jeans or denim shorts with a lightweight tee or cami. It’s simple, easy and can be dressed up or down depending on the show and your plans before and after!

Happy Funday Friday Loves…or at least that’s what my trainer at the gym calls Fridays…they are fun because they are cardio day, oh joy 😉 However despite the impending miles of running ahead of me, I’m loving this easy, breezy look from my day in the Hamptons…I feel like…a free bird 🙂One of the many things I love about the Hamptons are all the cute little shops…my sister was in heaven because of shops like this one…surf and skate stores. She left the Hamptons that day with a skate board…which put her in a happy mood to do my pictures 😉 My top and white jeans are from Old Navy. They always got me covered when it comes to summer time essentials! Once again I LOVE mirrored aviators and may I say it’s the ‘IT’ accessory in the Hamptons. My sandals are from Arturo Chiang…a clearance score from Lord & Taylor last summer. I simply love these shoes…they are comfy, match with everything and are amazing quality! {Similar Here}As always, the perfect Red, White and Blue ensemble calls for my Rebecca Minkoff mini mac bag…it’s simply great for every occasion <3 Have A Great Weekend Loves!
