Favorite Lip Colors

 1. Bite Beauty in Honey Berry, this is a great neutral that isn’t quite the same color as mine skin so it doesn’t make my lips disappear. This is one of my go to colors! I plan on trying other colors from Bite Beauty because this lipstick is amazing 2. NARS Roman Holiday, a sheer bubble pink color. It’s very subtle, but adds a beautiful color. I love the texture of this one because it is not drying. This is my other go to ...

The little black dress isn’t just for night time! I found this simple black dress last year at Nordstrom in the Savvy Trends department and I didn’t even spend over $30!

Alex and Ani Bangles

One of my best friends and photographer, Lianna Piccetti, introduced me to her obsession with Alex and Ani bangles. Now it has become my obsession and I love having them stacked on my arm! The bangles are unique and allow you to express yourself with these dainty accessories. Each bangle is infused with positive energy and also has symbolic meaning. Although I love buying them for myself, they also make great gifts! Here are few more ...
