Beauty Talk | Self Tanner

With summer quickly approaching I can't help but feel the need to bust these bad boys out. They are my secret weapon to tan skin. I have tried many different tanning lotions, sprays, gels etc. and in my opinion none compare to these.

My absolute favorite is St. Tropez Mousse. Worth. every. penny. This stuff is so good I have even put it on my face (which is super sensitive btw) and it looked like I got back from Cabo. I was a little freaked out by a mousse, but it goes on so nice. It actually comes out brown so you have instant results. Think of it like a stain, for your skin. The Jergens Natural Glow Foaming Moisturizer is similar to this, but it goes on clear and a little nicer on your wallet. Might be better for you newbies out there. My next favorite is the Tan Towel On The Glow. This is the "designer" version of  the Jergens lotion but I like it better. Better smell and doesn't look as orange on my skin.  Who doesn't like something that adversities, Look Better Naked? Victoria Secret also has some great sun products. I really like their Sunkissed Bronze Self Tanner. It's the perfect tinted lotion to use after a day in the sun!

A Casual Tunic


Nothing says casual like a long shirt, dark skinnies and an oversized bag. I just love this embroidered tunic from H&M. It's casual yet looks effortlessy styled. Not to mention it might be the softest shirt I own.   I chose to top it off with my favorite Lily and Laura bracelets and delacate pieces from Maya Brenner and Furbish Studio.

STYLE ME MONDAY | STATEMENT NECKLACES


1//2//3//4//5//6
Diva or not, every gal  needs a statement necklace. Now some of these baubles can run you a pretty penny...so I always try to find good ones that are affordable. As much as I love the ones from J Crew, I just can't justify almost $200 for something I know I will wear for a couple months then sell on Poshmark later. Although, according to my husband I will just use my J Crew Teacher Discount and that justifies everything... and he's right. Forever 21 actually has some pretty great pieces that are so cheap! Like under 10 bucks cheap...and look halfway decent. Bauble Bar is another favorite of mine because of their variety. They are even running a fun promo here, check it out!  Here are some pieces that are my favorite right now! xx

**Dont forget today is the last day to enter my instagram giveaway with TX GOLDEN GIRL JEWELRY! You could win a set of 3 Lone Star Collection Bracelets in the color of your choice! A will will be selected at random tonight at 7:00 CST. Good luck and thank you for entering!

Sale Alert | Tory Burch



Kinda jumped up and down when I saw this little message in my inbox this morning. I'm not the type to  buy Tory Burch just because (I wish!) , but if there's a sale....I might be more inclined. Thought I'd pass on the good news in case any of you want to jump on this sale. Happy almost Friday! xx
