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 ...
Daytime Little Black Dress
jacket: (old) similar here, dress: (old) similar here, wedges: Shoemint (old) kind of similar here, clutch: Rebecca Minkoff, sunglasses: Ray Ban (they are on sale!) 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! And it’s super comfy since it’s a stretchy material. I’ve actually worn it more ...

All simple pieces brought together with the bright pop of pink. I found this Metal Corner Clutch by Rebecca Minkoff almost two years ago on ...
Casual Weekend
Graphic tee: (old) but loving this, this and this, jeans: Paige Denim, purse: Rebecca Minkoff, shoes: Shoemint (old) similar style here and here, sunglasses: Ray-Ban, lipstick: Honey Berry Graphic tees are one of my favorite items of clothing to wear because they can be dressed up or down. They make for a perfect outfit on the weekend. I bought this one last year at Nordstrom, so unfortunately it’s no longer available, but Nordstrom ...
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 ...
Day and Night
First look: Day time casual This first look is all about keeping it casual. Throw on some white chucks with boyfriend jeans and a graphic tee to balance the formalness of the blazer. This blazer is one of my favorites! I also put my hair up in a ponytail to keep this look less dressy and more laid back. No outfit is complete with out some sunglasses! These have been on heavy rotation lately. Second Look: Date night For the second look I just ...
