Zaful Review + Embroidered Skirt

January 18, 2017

Happy Friday!!

I am so so SO excited about this post today! I have collaborated with Zaful to highlight some of my favorite pieces from their website. (Visit their online shop HERE) Zaful has the cutest, on-trend merchandise at fabulous prices compared to other retailers. They also have quick shipping and great quality products, which are both huge selling points for me! With the bizarre Mississippi weather, I opted for a light sweater to pair with this amazing embroidered skirt. The skirt easily became my favorite piece from Zaful as soon as I opened my package! I LOVE IT. You can style it a million different ways, not to mention how well it will transition into Spring. (I’m thinking a white v-neck and cute sandals in warmer weather!) Embroidery is a trend that was hot and heavy this summer, so I definitely foresee a prominent return this year. My slightly cropped lace-up sweater is sold out, but I found an almost identical one I linked above. Lace-up sweaters are super easy to style and are pretty popular right now! (Ok, really popular!) I am also linking my other favorite Zaful picks in the carousel below because I’m kind of obsessed! Lol.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! Thanks for visiting!

XOXO

Currently Trending: Dusty Pink + Burgundy

January 11, 2017

Sweater: Thirty-One Boutique (Similar, Similar) | Pants: Beulah Leggings | Shoes: Adidas Gazelle Superstars | Bag: Louis Vuitton

YAY it’s finally Friday!

As usual, I feel like the month is already flying by so fast! Classes started back this week, and I think everyone is struggling to get back into the groove of things. (I know I am!) Luckily, my friends and I are already taking another mini break and heading to Dallas for the long weekend. I am beyond excited because we’re going to the Cowboys playoff game!! AHHH!! (My Dak jersey is ready to go! haha)

I love love love a good color palette, so I have been waiting for the perfect pieces to create my favorite color combo of the winter: dusty pink and burgundy! This sweater is super cozy and chunky, which kept me really warm for the cold front that came through last weekend. (Did I mention it was 30 degrees when we shot these photos?!) I bought this sweater before the holidays from Thirty-One Boutique, but it has already sold out. I did find some great dupes that I have linked above. My burgundy jeggings are still in stock AND I found a few sizes left in these Adidas Superstars. I am slightly obsessed with these tennis shoes, and searched for them online for days! Knowing they were out of stock made me want them even more, but I finally located a pair from Ebay! lol. Comment below if you have any questions! Have a fabulous weekend!

New Year, Same Color

January 5, 2017

Blazer: Material Girls (Similar) | Top: Nordstrom | Jeans: One Teaspoon | Shoes: Marc Fisher | Clutch: Nordstrom

Happy New Year Y’all!

Sooo.. how many of you have already broken those 5 day old resolutions you swore you’d actually keep this year?! If you’re like me, you’ve probably realized how hard it is to “change” literally overnight. The one thing I have found really helpful is setting goals instead! Resolutions can be farfetched and unrealistic, but creating a plan to accomplish your goals has a much better chance of actually sticking. A huge goal for me is to continue growing and building my blog because it is my proudest accomplishment of 2016!

Even in the middle of winter, I can always find an excuse to wear pink! This blazer is super easy to dress up or down, so I went for a casual look with my favorite holy jeans. (Not to mention the weather was in the low 60s in January this day, so I planned accordingly ha!) These are the first pair of One Teaspoon jeans I have purchased, and they definitely won’t be the last! I. Am. Obsessed. They are my new go-to boyfriend style jeans! I did notice pretty quickly that the brand runs almost two sizes larger than my normal size, so keep that in mind if you order. I also paired this clutch with my bright outfit because, done correctly, pink and leopard print are a killer combo! All my outfit details are linked above. Have a great weekend!

Christmas Sweater + New Beauty Finds

December 25, 2016

MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🙂

Believe it or not, I have worn this adorable tacky sweater more than once! I found it on Nordstrom and figured it would come in quite handy when the holiday parties rolled around. Plus, I have a slight obsession with cats, so it was a no-brainer. (If you follow me on any social media, you know all about my precious kitty named Blair! Haha) My favorite part about this outfit is definitely the Steve Madden puffball sneakers, though. My friends were a little (okay a lot) skeptical at first, but I knew these stylish sneakers needed to be added to my ever growing shoe collection!

Since my beauty post a few months ago, I have discovered three more products that I currently love/recommend. I am very meticulous when it comes to beauty and makeup regimens, so I get pretty excited when I find a new product that I actually like!

NYX Highlight & Contour Pro Palette

I usually have a different bronzer, contour, AND highlighter, but this has all three plus some! I prefer using a powder base when it comes to contouring, so that’s another reason why I have switched over to this palette. And the best part? It’s under $25!!

Lipsense

A ton of my friends started selling this lipstick that apparently lasts up to 18 hours AND doesn’t dry your lips out. So of course, I had to try it, and I was really impressed! As long as you follow the instructions properly (I didn’t the first time lol), it works perfectly. I bought the ‘Blu-Red’ for Christmas and have gotten so many compliments when I wear it!

Roden + Fields Lash Boost

I have been dying to try this lash boost since it came out a few months ago! I mean who doesn’t want longer lashes?! Luckily, I won a free lash boost at my friend Alise’s R+F party. I was beyond excited! I just started using it this week, but I swear I can already see a slight difference. I’ll keep yall updated on the progress!

All outfit details are linked above. I hope all my readers have a happy and blessed Christmas! Thanks so much for visiting my blog!

Hot Pink Corduroys

December 5, 2016

Happy Thursday Y’all!

I hope everyone has been enjoying their Christmas holidays. Sorry I have been M.I.A. the past couple of weeks, but I have been SO busy! After final exams were over, my best friend and I headed to Disney World for a week with Mickey. We had an amazing time with cheesy matching shirts and all! Our favorite day was drinking around the world in Epcot (of course). I highly recommend going because the drinks (well most of them) are fabulous, and it’s a nice break from all the people and rides. Don’t get me wrong, it is still busy, but everyone is taking it easy and enjoying themselves!

If you haven’t noticed, I have a tad obsession with the color pink. 10 times out of 10, I will always choose the pink option if there is one! So when I found these Vineyard Vines cords, I knew they were a must-have! They actually have a skinny boyfriend fit, which surprised me. I wanted to feature them on the blog in an unconventional way, so I paired the cords with a sleeveless sweater and my favorite sneaker wedges! These wedges are everything. I mean I LOVE them! They somehow go with basically everything and have the perfect heel height. Unfortunately, my easy sleeveless sweater is unavailable, but I linked a similar one I might just buy too! Have a great rest of the week, and remember Friday AND the Christmas weekend start tomorrow! Yay!

PS: Check out the ‘Shop‘ tab on the blog for the latest pieces I am in love with!

XOXO
