high waisted skirt and high heels






skirt: francescas (similar, splurge) top: impressions boutique (craving this & this) heels: impressions boutique (also loving these & these) earrings: Tory Burch watch: Michael Kors lips: Ulta
handbag: Louis Vuitton

When I saw this skirt, I knew I had to have it! Among all the other fun accents this outfit has to offer, your eye is immediately drawn to the skirt and that is what I love most about it! The high waisted cut is always flattering on skirts, and the fun details on the waist band make this skirt a must have! In addition, the highly structured design of the skirt gives it a girly shape and accentuates your waistline! 
I also have to mention that my top and shoes are from one of my favorite online boutiques, Impressions!
The top and shoes compliment each other so well with the strappy accents, and you can't beat the price!

Happy shopping y'all!

night out at the beach







Top: Vince Camuto (similar, craving) Skirt: H&M (splurge, save) Heels: Michael Antonio (on sale here) Necklace: H&M (similar, similar) Clutch: Louis Vuitton (craving)  Bracelets: bella jack via tjmaxx (similar), stella and dot Watch: Michael Kors (On sale!) Earrings: Tory Burch (also craving these)

We spent this past weekend at the beach with friends and I was so excited to have the excuse to wear bright fun colors.  I have always felt like you can get away with much bolder and brighter prints at the beach than you can anywhere else! As you can see, I took full advantage! 
I am loving the knee length pencil skirt trend - this fun skirt has such a flattering cut (and is comfortable, believe it or not)! The neon top gave the perfect pop of color to help round out this whole outfit! 
Don't be afraid to be bold!

Happy shopping y'all!

I love colorblocking and maxi dresses.  This Impressions Boutique dress was the perfect combination of both! This dress is a girl's dream with beautiful colors and practical features like pockets! I also have to mention how comfortable and beautiful my Tory Burch flats are! This look was the perfect week night date night outfit - comfortable and flirty!

Happy shopping y'all!

a few of my favorite things...


This product is absolutely magical! My sweet mom is the first one who introduced me to Miracle Skin Transformer and I've been addicted ever since! I wear this every day under my mineral powder makeup and it not only helps hydrate and protect my skin, but also sets my powder makeup making it last all day! This also has a hint of color to it so it provides minimal coverage if you want to put it on to run errands without a full face of makeup!
Buy it here (with free shipping)!


This is the best eye shadow palette I have ever owned (and trust me, I've gone through my fair share)! Not only does this palette come with an amazing color selection, but the quality of the eyeshadow makes all the difference.  When you add the high quality eye shadow with the urban decay eye shadow primer, you are taking off your eye shadow at the end of the day looking exactly how you put it on that morning! Its simply the best! I plan on posting lots of eye makeup tutorials using this palette! 
Buy the palette here and the primer here!


I love all kinds of lipsticks, but if I had to name my favorite I would definitely go with Ulta's Lip Butter collection.  This lipstick goes on so smooth with vibrant color that lasts! With some lipsticks, it feels like your lips are dehydrated after wearing them, with Ulta Lip Butter it feels like you're wearing lip balm with the added benefit of beautiful color! You can't beat the color selection or the price point! 
Buy it here (on sale)!


I can't even tell you how much I can't live without this product! When I first heard about it I thought, "eye makeup remover lotion?" Now, I use this product literally everyday! It takes off my waterproof mascara like it's nothing! This leaves your eyelids clean, moisturized, and best of all not greasy (like every other eye makeup remover I ever tried). 
The cherry on top ... its $0.99!!!
I buy 5 at a time! No, seriously! 
You can too, here!

I hope you'll enjoy all my beauty favorites as much as I do! 

Happy shopping y'all!

girl on a budget






Dress: Forever21 (also craving this similar style) Wedges: Old Navy (similar, save) Clutch: Coach (similar, save), Sunglasses: Forever21 (splurge) Watch: Michael Kors Bracelet: Forever21(similar) Bangle: J.Crew (similar, save) Lips: Forever21 

As much as I love splurging on expensive clothes, it is also equally as exciting to find great looks that are inexpensive.  Forever21 is my go to store to find something trendy and inexpensive.  We recently got a store here in town, but I have found it's easier to navigate through all the options online! The store can be very overwhelming and for my easily distractible brain, I prefer to see things one at a time online! The cut of this dress is my favorite because of how flattering it is. I also love the flirty pattern and cutout back! For $13.80, this dress simply can't be beat! 

Happy shopping y'all!

Statement Maxi








Maxi: Forever 21 (similar, splurge), Wedges: Jessica Simpson (on sale!) Purse: Tory Burch, Earrings: Forever 21 (similar, also loving these) Watch: Michael Kors Bracelets: Kate Spade, Stella and Dot
Lips: Ulta (my fave!)

So anyone who knows me well knows I practically live in Maxi dresses throughout the summer! I found this one early in March of this year for our spring break trip to Mexico.  The aztec pattern and bright colors looked like they belonged in a beautiful resort on the beach! Unfortunately, even as recently as I bought it, Forever21's inventory turns over very quickly so I was only able to find similar looks to link! 
I also have to mention how comfortable and versatile my Jessica Simpson wedges are! The straps at the top are all elastic so they stretch with each step making these shoes practical for all day wear! Isn't it the best when comfort and cute collide!?!

Happy shopping y'all!
