Printed Wide Leg Pants

I share an office at my day job with the coolest chick (that makes me sound like I have a night job. I don't. I just have a full time job related to my degree and do make up on the side.. know what I'm sayin?) So anyways, she does photography a bit on the side, so we decided to get together one evening after work and take some pics by my house to show you a couple new outfits I've been loving. 

Palazzo, Harlem, and any other version of wide leg pants right now are totally my thing. They are so light and cool for warm days and look so cute and stylish and I'm all about comfort! I also wear this T from Joe Fresh all the days. I actually bought two of them because I love the fabric, I love the baseball tee style of it and the little pocket which just makes it a little more fancy. Its the best and I find myself wearing these necklaces from Aldo lots too, it's not too bold and goes with so much!

What are your favorite summer trends??

What I'm wearing:

Wide legs pants: Forever 21 (sold out)  // Tee: Joe Fresh // Necklace: Aldo // Watch: Aldo

Bridesmaid Make Over

Hey guys! This was easily one of the easist make over's I have ever done. This gal is so gorgeous and was so much fun. Her eyelashes are the longest I had ever seen and just amazed me!

Sorry the lighting isn't the best, I am still working on my camera skills. Hope you all had a great weekend!

Forever 21 Summer Favorites

Hey guys! If you're anything like me you hate going into the chaos of massive Forever 21 stores stumbling through not finding anything you saw online, the change rooms, and sometimes even a cash that's open. I am talkin shoppers anx-i-ety. They do however have great bargains for just about anything I am looking for. The older I get the longer my shorts get and those Bermuda distressed bad boys are so perfect paired with just about any of their super well fitted casual Tees! Happy summer shopping! xo

Bermuda shorts // beachy ribbed top // palazzo pants (sold out) similiar here // power brunch dress // day dreamer sandals // Mineral wash Tee 

Summer Beauty Favorites

It's full on summer meaning lots of hot and sweaty days ahead. These are my favorite summer picks to keep you looking fresh and beauty-ful all summer long & make summer a hot breeze instead of a hot mess.

1. The Wet Brush: Perfect when you're in & out of the pool // 2. Make Up Forever O2 setting spray: Keeping your makeup on and your skin hydrated all summer long // 3. Hourglass SPF 15 Primer: For added staying power & spf // 4. Anastasia Contour Kit: perfect setting powder that won't cake or melt  // 5. Guerlain Lingere de peau foundation: A light invisible skin foundation for hot summer days 6. Esqido Mink Lashes: Avoid raccoon eyes and opt for these ultra glam Mink Lashes

The Wet Brush

Hey guys! I have been absent from my dear little blog for a few days now because I am STILL waiting for my template to get re-organized with side columns, so I can add my sponsors back, so I am really trying to not post too much until I get that sorted out, but I've been using the Wet Brush for a couple weeks now and I just have to tell you all about it.

Honestly when it came in the mail I was like.. k... so what? It looks just like any other brush, but this bad boy is magic. It combs through my wet matted hair and even more impressive my three days of unwashed dry shampooed mess without any hesitation. Its the best. And it's super cheap! I got mine for about ten bucks on Amazon and while I was waiting for it I saw Kendall Jenner post a pic on instagram saying how much she loved her brush which made me even more excited for it to come and I've been using it every day since. Its a game changer & makes the perfect gal pal gift too!

Wedding Make up Make Over

Hey guys! I haven't posted for a couple days because as you can see I am working on a new layout and I am still trying to figure out how to add back my sidebar for my sponsors and I don't want to do too many posts until I get that figured out because, well it's just not fair to all the people that help me support my blog! But a couple weeks ago I mentioned I was doing a gal's makeup and for the first time I remembered to take some before and after pictures to show you guys!

This is this beautiful bride to be's second make up trial before her wedding this weekend! She's so gorgeous and I can't wait to make her look extra pretty for her big day!

What I used: 

Tarte Maracuja Oil to hydrate

Hourglass Primer

Covergirl Concealer stick in deep for contour

(blended with a Quo blending sponge)

Guerlain Lingere de peau in 02 for foundation

Anastasia contour kit: yellow under eyes and taupe under cheekbones to set the concealers

Happy Friday!

This week went by so quick and I don't know if it's because I had a short week last week with my friend Sarah visiting, or its because I am so excited that in two weeks my best friend from home Amy will be here, but whatever it was I am puuumped.

I started watching this show recently & I'm still not sure what I think about it, but I like having a show I know my husband won't watch for when he's away to make sure I have a little somethin just for me, so we'll see how it goes. If nothing else, I love the name Clarke for a girl and it's perfect for my friend Lisa who just LOVES superman.

This salad is what I plan to make for supper at least once this weekend along with all the other delicious salads on this website like this one and the blog itself might just be my new favorite food cave.

Last week I made a little trip into Sephora and scored a couple samples of foundation and this primer which I've been dying to try. It is everything I ever dreamed of in a primer and more it makes my skin so so smooth. I only got the small travel version because it's pretty costly, so we'll see how long it lasts, but I think it will be the newest staple product in my make up bag! I am telling you guys, it is the bomb dot com and I think you need to try it! 

 Have a good weekend xoxo

Black & Gold

Dress: Forever 21 // Sandals: Forever 21 // Necklace: Nasty Gal (sold out) similar here // Sweater: (old) Le Chateau

Hey guys! When this dress came in the mail I was shocked by how short it is, but the rayon material is so light and perfect for summer over a bathing suit, or with a little somethin somethin underneath. I have been craving a horn pendant/shark tank necklace for eons, so this little guy was such a score I would wear it all err day if I could! 

SOo it's June and only starting to feel like spring here, so I am super pumped to start planning some summer vacations starting in a couple weeks with another one of my best friends coming out to see me! I have also been working on my golf game a little, so watch out for them flying balls!

Chat later xo

Navy Jumpsuit

I had the best long weekend with my friend visiting from back East. We spent a full day shopping at West Ed which is just the best place in Canada to fulfill all your shopping needs. I'm excited to share some of the goodies I scored later on in the week, but for now I just wanna talk about this jumpsuit. It is so freaking comfortable and easy to just throw on a one piece like this and be g to g for the day. When I saw it at H&M I instantly loved it. I wish I had more navy pieces, but sometimes I find navy a hard color to wear unless you're in jeans and I don't wear jeans too often. I wish I could wear sandals at work because these gold ones from Forever 21 are just too cute. I could honestly wear them everyday! They have other nice colors too which you can check out here. Happy Monday everyone! xoxo
