Jean season is coming back around…although I wear skinny jeans year round, during the hot summer months I tend to live in shorts, skirts and dresses (why wear jeans when those can be worn whenever right? :p) Well now that fall is quickly approaching, distressed skinny jeans have been on the top of my ‘must have‘ list…along with a cute denim vest to really work the whole ‘denim on denim‘ trend.
Nothing makes me happier than testing out new hair and skin products by having my very own ‘spa day’. Since moving to LA from NY the change in climate has caused me to A) Break out yet get dry skin at the same time and B) Moisturize my hair and give it a little LA style refresh! Well luckily Dove came to my rescue with the best budget friendly hair and skin care options that you can find at your local drug store!
Dove sent me tons of awesome goodies that my roommate / photographer Ali and I had plenty of fun testing out :p Maybe a little too much fun…oops!
While I have pretty straight hair, the Quench Absolute collection was A) Perfect to add moisture and life back into my hair + B) Was perfect for Ali to use to style her hair (she has coarse curly hair so these products were a total life saver for her)! The shampoo, conditioner and styling products all smell delicious…so much so that I kept wanting to add more to my hair because although I achieved the style I was going for, I couldn’t stop sniffing it haha Don’t you love when drug store beauty buys smell way better than the super expensive products? #BestMomentEver
The Restoration Mask has been an absolute life saver for me. I love how smooth and shiny my hair looks after using it and it can be used as often as you want without overdoing your hair. The same goes for the Supreme Creme Serum, it can be applied to wet or dry hair and includes Glycerin to nourish the hair.
My skin has gone totally off track since moving. Some days it is clear and smooth and other days I am breaking out everywhere…so I tend to over dry my skin with toners + clarifying products to clear up the acne and in the interim I am leaving my skin craving moisture and hydration. The Dove Summer Care series provides a light and fresh feeling without making my skin oily while still providing the moisture my skin needs! It’s a win/win…and oh yeah…it smells amazing as well duh!
And then the last Dove product in my skin care arsenal? Dove Advanced Care deodorant! I actually keep it in my bag so I have it everywhere I go so I always smell fresh and feel clean. It offers 48 hour protection and even after a busy work day, still smells fantastic.

Finding the perfect pair of jeans is far from easy…as I mentioned a few weeks ago, finding the ideal pair of jeans that flatter my body type has always been a challenge. They are either too long, too short, too baggy or too tight…I can’t win haha Well now I can…with Target Style!

Finding the right jeans has always been a challenge for me. They are always either too short, too long, too tight, too loose or just all around not my style. Jeans shopping is one of the shopping experiences I have always tried to avoid. Me…avoiding shopping? Yes it is an actual thing that happens haha But I am pretty sure I found my perfect fit and it is Mossimo jeans from Target!
Target sent me a few pairs of jeans to try out for a couple of weeks and see if they are something that I actuallywant to wear every day and YES I grabbed these 3 pairs to wear pretty much all of the time. The Mossimo skinny jeans and jeggings hug my curves, show off my calves and are comfortable enough to run around in all day without feeling suffocated or agitated (a problem I tend to have with certain brands of jeans but not Target!).
My favorite pair (while I in fact love them all) was this light wash slightly distressed skinny jegging. I wore them while hanging around at Kristi’s on a Sunday and then also wore them out and about for brunch, work and even girl’s night! They can be styled in a variety of ways and I like cuffing up the bottom to change up their look.
My close second was this pair of Mossimo mid-rise medium wash skinny jeans. I think these are perfect for a night out…especially with an open back top like I wore below…got to show off that booty right 😉 These do in fact add a little ‘lift’ and are awesome ‘booty’ jeans in my opinion :p
Starting July 26th, you can try on Target denim in the store to receive $10 off. Be sure to check out the rest of their denim here: www.target.com/jeans
The toughest thing after a nice relaxing weekend is heading back to the normal ‘rise + grind’ on a Monday. No matter how long you are working for, the struggle never gets easier and it is in fact ‘real‘ 😉 I spent this past weekend in Palm Springs (if you follow me on SnapChat you got to see my random shenanigans…and if you don’t follow me well now you should duh! — this way you don’t miss out next time hehe – MissyOnMadison). After relaxing by the pool in the middle of a 90 degree desert it kind of made me never want to leave (can you blame me?)…although I would have loved to stay forever…I had to come back to reality…LA.
