Wardrobe Refresh

Wardrobe Refresh

  Summer is on it's way and I couldn't be more excited! Not only do I love the longer days, but I love giving my closet a little "summer refresh" by keeping things easy and cool. That means stowing away the coats and cardigans and bringing out plenty of whites, neutral, and of course fun patterns. My number one way to stay cool in Dallas is a good pair of denim shorts. I have a couple that I always wear simply because they are a staple in my summer wardrobe. For top, I reach for ones that are flowy and breezy like this blouse from Anthropologie and the ever so classic Equipment Signature Blouse. These are both great pieces that get me ready for summer! I try to incorporate colorful jewelry like this Seastone Anthropologie Necklace and pretty bangles from Reece Blaire.  Another sign of summer for me is Bottled Starbucks® Iced Coffee.  It's one of my favorite sweet treats to keep me refreshed and ready to take on the day. I was thrilled to see that Starbucks is now carrying iced coffee! "Bottled Starbucks® Iced Coffee beverages are the perfect blend of premium Starbucks coffee and 2 percent milk. Available in four delicious offerings: Coffee + Milk, Low Calorie Coffee + Milk, Vanilla, and Caramel, Starbucks Iced Coffee ready-to-drink beverages are ...

Blue Maxi Dress

Blue Maxi Dress

A maxi dress is one of my favorite go to looks for summer. It's an easy way to look "put together" without having to put forth too much effort. The Capuchina Maxi Dress from Anthropologie will definitely be a summer staple. This dress is super comfortable and the fabric is so soft- perfect for running errands or a night on the town. What maxi dresses are you loving this summer? Wearing: Anthropologie Capuchina Maxi Dress, comes in black too!

Beauty Talk | Clarins Double Serum

Beauty Talk | Clarins Double Serum

Last month, I mentioned the Clarins Giveaway featuring the Double Serum and since then, I have been looking forward to this review! Thank you for all who entered by using the tag #30DaysofBeautiful on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook!  It has been so fun looking through the hashtag pictures and seeing what you all posted. Since my first post introducing the Clarins Double Serum, I have been determined to use this product daily.  Even with my sensitive skin this stuff is super gentle. The serum is pretty concentrated so you only need to use one pump every morning and night. Within the first 7 days of using the Double Serum, I noticed a difference in my skins texture and appearance. My skin looks instantly hydrated and feels amazing. I tend to suffer from the occasional break out, and this stuff helped keep all of that under control. Anything that can hydrate and keep my skin clear is a winner in my book! I look forward to using more of the Clarins products in my daily skin care routine.

Scalloped Lace

Scalloped Lace

Lace is such a huge trend this season. It's feminine and girly and is super versatile. I love this Crochet Version from Our World Boutique. I paired this top with these Floral Pants from Anthropologie because I loved the way the scalloped lace looked against the bright colors on the pants! For an alternative look, I can't wait to pair this top with my distressed denim shorts for an easy summer outfit.    Wearing: Our World Boutique Lily Crochet Blouse c/o | Anthropologie Floral Pants (Ann Taylor Floral Pants Mod Cloth Floral Pants | Nude Pumps (old) Jessica Simpson Nude Pumps, Rachel Roy

Floral + Pink

Floral + Pink

I've been on the hunt for a "Spring" blazer for quite a while. I have a floral one that I wear time to time but I wanted something a little more neutral. When I came across this Joie Pink Blazer, I thought it would be the perfect addition to my Spring wardrobe. As I've mentioned before, a blazer is something every girl should own! It's an easy way to transform any outfit and a fun way to spice up a t-shirt. I paired the blazer with this floral baseball tee from ASOS,  distressed denim and nude pumps. This is my favorite way to dress up a casual look! Wearing: ASOS Floral Baseball Tee (only offered in Petites...so size up!) | Joie Mehira Pink Blazer | J Crew Denim ...

Beauty Talk | Bronze Goddess

Beauty Talk | Bronze Goddess

I don't know about you guys, but Summer is on it's way and I am in desperate need for a little color. Usually, I don't like to spend much time in the sun and if I do I am lathered up with SPF 50+. Great for the skin, but doesn't help me out in the tan department. Around this time, I start to bring out the self tanners and the bronzer. I do wear a little bronzer all year to add some face definition, but now is the time when I guess you could say I add a little more? I feel like I have tried so many brands/colors and I finally found a few that seem to work well for me. My goal when looking for a bronzer is 1. No glitter or heavy shimmer (if any at all) 2. No hint of orange (my skin tends to be oily so it can turn certain bronzers orange by the end of the day...yuck!) and 3. Nothing crazy dark (I want this to look as natural as possible...duh!)  Below are a few that make me pretty happy! 1. Bare Minerals Faux Tan Loose Powder- Ok, I was a little nervous to try this because the powder looks pretty dark. While I do like to wear bronzer,  I have to be careful because my skin is pretty light. This worked for me because it is a matte finish. It's not shimmery at all and isn't as dark as it looks. You definitely want to follow the whole "swirl, tap, brush" philosophy that BM encourages to prevent it from looking too harsh. This stuff is awesome. Highly recommend! 2.

Weekend Casual

Weekend Casual

  If you ask me, the best look for a weekend outside is something casual and comfortable. With the weather being so nice, we were excited to spend most of our time outdoors. I wanted to throw something on that was easy to wear and still look "put together". It was an easy choice to wear my favorite white button down and denim rolled up shorts. It's one of my favorite combos and something that is a classic look for summer. Wearing: Classic White Button Down (Equipment Brett Blouse version) | Paige
