Shop the “Luxie Beauty” Contour Brush set HERE!
Dear friends, I just wanted to let you know that some of my favorite makeup brushes are on sale right now for 30% off! I have been using Luxie brushes for the past several years and the quality is amazing. The brushes are soft and well-made and hold up to everyday use. The contour set that I’m featuring here was designed in a collaboration with @JadeyWadey180 who is an extremely talented make-up artist and esthetician. You should check out her contouring videos on YouTube. Her nose contour methods are second to none! You actually get six brushes for the price of three, since each of the brushes in this set are double-sided. You can see a detailed post here, where I demonstrate how to use each of the brushes in this set.

Dear friends, I had been eyeing this mesmerizingly beautiful printed silk blouse and pant outfit at J Crew for the past several months. I don’t know why I was vacillating about getting it, because as soon as I put it on, I was in love! The “sleepy lion” print is retro-fabulous and the colors are beyond vibrant! The blouse has a classic button-down silhouette and the pants are ankle length with a waist tie. This is such an easy outfit to just throw on and I plan on creating different looks by mixing and matching the individual pieces with existing pieces in my closet. J Crew recently added another iteration of this set, since it was so popular. It now comes in a fuschia and brown combination which is equally stunning! Right now all of these pieces are 40% off!

Dear friends, I woke up this morning to the birds chirping and the sun streaming through my windows! So, naturally, my thoughts turned to light and airy spring and summer dressing! I recently picked this dress up at Old Navy and it’s definitely a keeper. It has such a flattering shape since the back is lightly smocked and the straps are adjustable.

Shop My Look Here:
Blouse: Purple tie-neck blouse // Headband: Houndstooth headband (old) similar here // Earrings: Heart gold and pearl earrings (old). Similar here // Lashes: 3 brands of magnetic lashes (linked below in my review of each style)
Dear friends, I’m a bit of a lash fiend! I’ve been rocking fake lashes since my college days and have, through trial and error, figured out the best way to apply them and have them hold for a day or night out. I have to admit, though, that the traditional way of applying a thin line of sticky glue to the lash band and then gingerly placing the lashes on your lash line can be challenging to even the most seasoned lashaholic! Well, the answer to the most lash-challenged amongst us is here: magnetic lashes!!

The stores are stocked with the most delightful Easter items. I was traipsing through my local Target store a couple of weeks ago and fell upon these adorable bunny and gingham plates! I like that they can be used at any time of the year beyond Easter and I plan on mixing and matching them with other plates that I already have at home. They are made out of a heavy melamine which is great because they can be used indoors and outdoors without any fear of them breaking. You won’t believe the price for these cute pieces; $3 for the bunny plates and $3.50 for the gingham plates! They’re also available online. Hop to it!!

Dear friends, I’m caught in a blizzard. Please send champagne immediately!! How cute and eye-catching is this champagne bottle-shaped bag? If you look at the close-up photo, you can see that it is encrusted with a glitter and sequin trim and comes with a gold chain handle that converts it into a cross-body style. I had seen this bag about a year ago but didn’t purchase it at that time. I was still thinking about it and, lo and behold, it recently showed up on the DSW website for $65!
Paw Prints // Slip Dress & Jacket
Shop My Look:
Jacket: Red Faux leather bomber jacket // Dress: Leopard slip dress // Shoes: Patent leather booties // Earrings: Old. Identical ones here.
Dear friends, who doesn’t love a good animal print?! This particular dress caught my eye because the leopard print is executed in such an unusual combination of colors. The red, blue and pink color way is so striking and pairs perfectly with this vibrant cherry red faux leather bomber jacket. The dress comes in two other designs and the jacket is stocked in four colors. You won’t believe where I got these two pieces: Walmart!! I do my grocery shopping there, but buy clothes? Who would have thought!
