BEAUTY BABBLE// FOUNDATION

It’s a known fact that I am a beauty junkie. I love trying new products to see what works for me and what doesn’t. When it comes to foundation, I want something that has coverage, but doesn’t look caked on. I still want to look and feel like me. I used to use bareMinerals liquid foundation, which I loved and will still use on occasion, but it just wasn’t doing it for me anymore. I have seen many good reviews on this ...

Sometimes I really don’t feel like wearing a strapless bra, so this is a good alternative to the off the should trend. Anyways, this sweater is so soft! It’s lightweight and perfect for those cooler spring and summer nights. I paired it with some slightly distressed denim, but it ...

They come in a few different colors, I also love the blue suede! The ruffle detail makes this simple sandal just a tad ...

ROSE AND GRAY

All of the items I am wearing, have all been on the blog in previous posts. These are all closet staples and can be worn over and over again in different outfits.

Those two colors are a great combo for spring. My statement necklace is the perfect touch to this ...
