LEATHER, RIPS, AND SNEAKERS

Even though it’s finally spring, I will still wear a lot of black. It’s a perfect neutral, goes with everything and just looks so clean. The BLANKNYC faux leather jacket I am wearing is currently on sale. Leather jackets are the perfect closet staple because they can be worn with so many outfits! I love how a leather jacket looks with ripped jeans, but I love it with a gorgeous floral maxi dress as well. There are also a ton of ...

EASY SPRING OUTFIT

It’s finally spring time! So excited to dress for spring. My favorite thing to wear during spring are neutral colors. They always look fresh and clean. So of course I am wearing another neutral outfit! Since my utility vest and my boyfriend jeans are somewhat masculine, I added a pop of leopard with my sandals and a fitted tank to add a little feminine touch. Both my jeans and vest are old, but I will link similar options! Happy spring ...

FUNCTION OF BEAUTY

Personalized everything is everywhere these days! I randomly saw this brand, function of beauty, on Instagram one day. They make personalized shampoo and conditioner. I immediately checked out their website and took the hair quiz. First, you determine your hair profile. I chose straightforward hair type, fine for hair structure and normal for scalp moisture. Then you must choose 5 hair goals. This can be difficult only because there are so ...

READY FOR SPRING

Every item I am wearing, is on major repeat lately. The weather here in the bay has been amazing! Loving all this sunshine. I have been moving towards a more neutral color palate for my closet. I want to be able to wear items over and over again in various ways. These white jeans I posted about last week certainly do have a lot of stretch to them. I ended up exchanging them for a smaller size. I love how comfortable they are! I’ve worn ...

HOW TO STYLE LIVED IN HAIR

I finally did a picture tutorial to how I curl my hair. This method is the main method I use to do my hair. I prefer to have that lived in, messy waves look rather that perfectly styled curls. To start I just usually use freshly washed hair, but might add some dry shampoo to give it some texture because dirty hair holds a curl much better than freshly washed! I usually use my NuMe 1 inch curling wand, looks like they have gone down in price ...

LIPS OF STEEL

I love a good graphic tee! I am definitely a t-shirt and jeans kind of girl. It’s my favorite outfit to wear, especially during the weekend. This tee is from last year, but I have linked a very similar option. I love the sparkly touch this graphic tee adds to my outfit. With spring coming, I finally decided to buy a pair of white jeans. These are under $60 and very comfortable. They have a lot of stretch to them and will stretch out ...

I made sure to add some girlie elements with a ...

BEAUTY BABBLE// FACE FAVES

I usually don’t stray to far from my usual makeup routine. When you find something you like, you stick to it! However, there are times, when I try something new and then that becomes an important step in my makeup routine. I’ll start with the IT Cosmetics BYE BYE PORES, it’s a pressed powder you apply once you have applied foundation. This stuff blurs fine lines and gives skin that airbrushed look we all want! It’s a ...
