Birthday Wish List

Shopping

  I can’t resist dreaming of what I want to get for my birthday, even though I’m really just so excited to be spending it in California with my boyfriend and friends! Right now, I’m craving some new makeup and a few new accessories. I mean, how gorgeous is this watch? I actually found out about the brand through my boss and now I cannot resist. I could also use another pair of over-the-knee boots and I’m loving this style from Steve Madden. For the first time in a few years, I’m actually excited about my birthday (rather than...

Holiday Survival Guide #HanesfortheHolidays

Accessories•Fashion

Thank you to Hanes for kindly sponsoring this post. All opinions are 100% honest & completely my own. The holidays, while a fun time, can also be a very stressful time. That’s why I always make sure to have my go-tos to make it through without worry. As I carefully stressfully packed my bags for home for the holidays, I’m not even sure I remembered the basics. But, with that said, I did pack my MUSTS to survive the holidays! Here are a few things I included in my suitcase, as a part of my holiday survival guide: A...

New Beginnings

Fashion•Outfits

Hello!!!!!!!!! – I know it’s been awhile, hasn’t it? And I know I say this way too often, but I apologize for being absent. I seriously miss blogging so much when I’m away from it, yet I need to take breaks every once in a while, and at least this time around I have a good reason for it – my new job! I started two weeks ago and it has been everything I thought it would be – and more! What I’m Wearing Top, Thrifted (Similar here, here and here) Skirt, Marshall’s (Similar here, here and here) Watch,...

Favorite Fall Lipsticks

Beauty•Makeup

  If you follow me on Instagram, you may have noticed I wore a dark lip recently. I have owned dark plum and other fall lipstick colors for awhile, but I’ve been wearing them nonstop the past couple weeks (after work and on the weekends of course). I decided to share some of my favorites (including two of the shades I mixed together to achieve the look in my Instagram pic): MAC Pro Longwear Lipcreme – Faithfully Yours – I ordered this lipstick a couple years ago and usually use it to layer colors. It gives a very deep, almost dark...

Makeup Organization

Beauty

Now that I have an actual drawer in my bathroom, it has been so easy for me to organize my makeup and KEEP it organized each and every day. Before I bought these bins, I literally just had all of my makeup shoved in there, no organization at all. I bought six small plastic bins from Target ($3 a piece) and organized by what I use things for: skin, face, eyes, lips, hair and then brushes/tools. I have been able to get ready faster each morning and leave the bathroom clean and tidy. Buy similar baskets here or check...

New Makeup Favorites

Beauty

Aside from my regular beauty routine… I am always finding and trying new things, so I just wanted to share a few of my favorites today (which are all drug store, hooray!) The concealer stick is NOW a part of my regular routine and I cannot believe I’ve gone without one for so long.

Birthday Sequins

Outfits

I found an $18 long sequin dress at Forever21 the day before my birthday (updated now in my budget post here), so I couldn’t resist buying it after trying it on and falling in love. I was hoping to find a pink dress, but hey, when you find a good deal (covered in sequins), how can you say no? Paired with some crazy earrings and glitter shoes, I was all ready to celebrate!

Snow Leopard Booties in the Snow

Outfits

  Last year I noticed my lack of color throughout my winter wardrobe, so it has been a goal this year to incorporate bright colors. It seems to help cheer me up when I walk outside and freeze my butt off! I wore this to go shopping on Saturday with my boyfriend. I ended up finding my NYE dress along with jewelry for the occasion. He walked out with a new pair of boots, two pairs of jeans and a Kenneth Cole watch all for under $70 (he had a pretty nice gift card there). It was fun to go...
