BEAUTY BABBLE// OUAI WAVE SPRAY

With summer officially begun, I feel like hair care gets more simplified. I love the look of beach hair that has a little texture and wave to it.  Some wave sprays have funny smells or leave your hair looking greasy. I have tried many wave sprays, but never seem to buy the same one again. Enter OUAI HAIRCARE wave spray. First off, this stuff smells like perfume, some may find it a bit strong, but it does not linger for long. It just smells ...

WIDE LEG PANTS

Wide leg pants has been a  big trend the past few years. It’s easily a classic look that you can wear over and over again. Last week, my preschoolers had their graduation, which meant I needed an outfit that was a little bit more dressed up than usual. I thought about wearing a dress, but I wanted to be comfortable. I knew I may need to bend down a lot to help the children and would also be sitting on the floor at times to help them ...

THE BEST LEGGINGS FOR POST BABY

Happy Monday! The days are just flying by, but I love it. I recently received these Snapback Postpartum Leggings from preggoleggings.com and wow I can’t say enough good things about them!!! They are super high-waisted to help tighten the tummy, thighs and lift the booty. As a mama to a one year old, I still don’t feel completely content about my postpartum body. Pregnancy is amazing and our bodies are capable of growing a tiny ...

BEAUTY BABBLE// SEPHORA HAUL

I feel like I am always at Sephora picking something up; whether it’s something I need to refill or something new to try, I’m there often. I have known for a while now that IT Cosmetics is a great beauty brand, but I’m starting to obsess over their products. IT Cosmetics not only look good, but do good. Last week’s BEAUTY BABBLE, I talked about the Confidence in a Cream moisturizer. It’s truly is a life saver ...

OUT OF SIGHT// OUT OF MIND

tee// jacket (on sale!)// jeans (on sale!)// mules (on sale!) I recently found this BLANKNYC denim jacket with embroidered patches on it and couldn’t turn it down! Embroidered anything is really big this year! I talked about it in this post. For me, it wasn’t over the top with embroidered detail, just a little something. A denim jacket is another fail proof basic to have in your closet. It goes with everything and it’s the ...

STATEMENT SLEEVES

top// jeans// belt// mules// sunglasses// watch Love a good statement sleeve! This top is a simple t-shirt with the prettiest detail on the sleeves. It’s the perfect top for summer too! It also comes in black, if you prefer a dark color. I’m wearing a size US 6 and it does seem a little short, but it is not a crop top. I love all the girlie details and feminine touches added to this year’s style. It’s the perfect way ...

BEAUTY BABBLE// CONFIDENCE IN A CREAM

I tried this IT COSMETICS SUPER CREAM about a week and a half ago as a 100 point sample from Sephora. I loved the sample so much so I bought the normal size! This brand continues to impress me. I use their BYE BYE PORES pressed powder and love it!  I was using this KATE SOMERVILLE goat milk moisturizer and still do use it because I truly loved it, but I tried this super cream and have been blown away by how amazing it is on my skin. ...
