BEAUTY BABBLE// NEW FOUNDATION

I recently updated some of makeup. I was using the MAKEUP FOREVER HD foundation. There is nothing wrong with that one. I was just itching to try something new. For the longest time I wanted to try the ESTEE LAUDER Double Wear foundation. I’ve read lots of great reviews on it, but was afraid it would be too heavy for me. I have always applied my makeup with a light hand, so this kind of intimidated me. I also wanted to make sure I was ...

EASY SUMMER STYLE WITH A MAXI SKIRT

tee// skirt// shoes// bag// earrings c/o With summer here, that means easy, breezy summer style. I have always had a thing for maxi skirts and dresses. They give a boho vibe to any outfit.

THE STONES

It’s no secret that I love rocker tees and vintage band t-shirts. My collection continues to grow! I have been looking for a unique Rolling Stones t-shirt for a while now. I grew up listening to the Stones. My dad always told me about how they were getting older, but still had a lot of rock left in them. When I saw this top by VICI COLLECTION I knew it was perfect. It has the Rolling Stones lips, but with fangs and a leopard print ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
