Greens and Kale

shirt, jeans, heels, necklace (similar here, here and here), sunglasses I have already said it, but will say it again, graphic tees are my jam! This KALE one is super soft and comfy. I recently discovered the brand Sub_Urban Riot at Nordstrom and love it all. It’s super affordable and the tees are kind of silly. I wanted to dress up this graphic tee by adding some nude pumps and a colorful statement necklace. Since there was some green ...

Olive Green

Spring Update

Happy Friday! I don’t know about you, but I am so happy it’s finally the weekend!!!! Now that spring has finally come, it’s time to update things. I love nail polish and lipstick. It’s a great way to update your wardrobe, without really changing much. I opted for spring shades that will brighten any outfit! First, we’ll talk lipsticks. The three in this photo are great spring options. Sweet and Sour by MAC is a ...

Since there is a lot going ...

Everyday Neutral Makeup

I hope everyone had a lovely Easter weekend, I know I did. Today I wanted to talk about my everyday neutral makeup look. Although I love getting dolled up, putting a full face of makeup just isn’t practical for me everyday. I work as a preschool teacher and honestly I just want to look presentable, but not like I rolled out of bed. So here is what I do: 1. After I have washed my face, I apply Josie Maran Aragan Oil, (sometimes I use ...

Intricate Booties

I really am a sucker for booties. These ones are  the Sam Edelman Putnam, very similar to the Petty bootie (currently on sale!). I found these on 6pm.com for a steal! They were only $39 instead of $160! I had to get them for that price! Unfortunately they are no longer available on 6pm, but every once and a while they will have the Petty bootie for a great price, so definitely check 6pm out if yu looking for a great deal. Booties are a ...
