Today I am doing a short post, because well guys. I am just tired. Anyone else?

Nordstrom has it ALL.

Gosh, why is it SO hard to shop for men?

With it being December, cue all the Holiday activities. Our town has the downtown ice skating rink up officially, which they did before Thanksgiving. All of the shops have the decorations out and the local petting zoo has their Holiday lights up.

Need a date night idea or just a few things to do with you friends one night? Here are some ideas of what to do!

Have you ever thought how can I make college just a tad simpler? College is College. Preparing for our future, dream job, life career, planning for our future. I love finding ways to make college easier. Heck make my LIFE easier! Lately I have had a few ideas on how to save time and ease my crazy mind. May help a few of you or maybe no one at all or even help new ideas start. You always see life hacks for certain things, here is my go on a few ways to make college a tad simpler and maybe organized!

Who else LOVES a good sale? Who else LOVES getting Lilly Pulitzer ON SALE!? This sale is by far my favorites. This type of sale happens twice a year, New Years and in August. Let me tell you from my experiences, you do NOT want to miss out! I have shopped from these sales since Summer 2014, and they just keep getting better.

I have had many posts where I share many tips and advice on how to shop the After Party Sale. I feel like I have covered more than enough help in those post so I am going to share a few pictures of things I own that most likely will be included in the sale. I say most likely because some items may have sold out before now and won't be available but never hurts to look for something just in case.

I buy the majority of my Lilly items full price at Pink Bee, but I never fail to find something on sale. So go have fun researching and saving for the upcoming sale. The rumor is that it will start Monday, August 28th.

Summer 2015

Great time to pick out some NEW items for the NEW school year! You never know what they put on the sale, sometimes it can be something from LAST SUMMER or something from this past spring. Always be prepared for those items that you can't find online now and wish you purchased!

Hint: Anything most recent won't be included. Easy way to find an idea, go online BEFORE hand and see what you can purchase still on website, those items WON'T be included.




Here are a few things to look out for during the sale:

June 19, was my last blog post...

Tomorrow morning my mom and I will be on our way to Charleston, SC! Yesterday started off our Spring Break for this year! We have been planning this trip for months, since before Christmas. We are so excited and I believe it will be very hard to fall asleep tonight! Today I am showing what are a few essentials I will be bringing on my trip. When I travel, I like to bring some of my favorites that I can't live without!

Makeup is a hobby of mine, besides shopping and fashion. I love long trips to Ulta and testing new makeup products. I will go ahead and say this I don't wear foundation and rarely concealer. Eyeshadow and lipstick are a major necessity in my makeup routine. Mascara is one of the given needs while putting on makeup. Today I am giving you my mini reviews on each of these products that I love!

Hoola Bronzer is favorite year round. It is a highly rated product from Benefit, many people love using it as a bronzer or even to contour. I personally use it to add some warmth to my face with or without a tan. I am not a pro at contouring, but I try my best to add dimension to my face.

Lancôme Hypnôse Mascara will be a top contender of my mascara collection. I have had multiple tubes of this mascara and can say I will always love purchasing it. Lancôme has another mascara favorite of mine, Définicils, which is almost a tie to this mascara.

MAC Cosmetics has some of my most favorite lipsticks ever. I never hesitate the price when purchasing from MAC. I love the color options, textures, and the Vanilla smell is perfect! This color shown is Plumful, which is described as a rosy-plum and pairs great with the Half-Red lipliner from MAC.

Creating the perfect winged eyeliner can be hard unless you have the best eyeliner to do it with. Stila  Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner is the best eyeliner I have come by. I have tried multiple others, none compare to this one. I have even tried the Kat Von D Tattoo Liner that is a highly rated one as well, but it still never compared to my Stila one. The Kat Von D made my eyes burn while putting it on if I got too close to my lash line. Stila one lasts all day, easy to apply, easy to take off, and waterproof!

Benefit Roller Lash Mascara is a lovely favorite of mine. First, can we state how adorable the packaging is?! It reminds me of hair rollers and is so vintage! This mascara is known for holding the curl all day, which I can say it does! I always curl my lashes before applying coats of mascara. Then using this mascara helps lengthen my lashes and holds the curl!

This is one of the palettes I could not wait to get my hands on! The Modern Renaissance eyeshadow palette was the longest for my to have my hands on! I would check my Ulta for it and waited roughly a month till they finally had back in stock! I was able to use my reward points and got almost $21 off!  Ever since I have had this palette, I have been in love! The colors are so unique and different to my Urban Decay Naked palettes. I love the red and plum colors in the palette, they make playing with makeup so much better.

My favorite blush at the moment is something so versatile, that goes with most makeup looks. Benefit Sugarbomb is the perfect blush to carry with you on trips or wearing on a daily basis. The four shades all blend together to a natural color and has the perfect amount of shimmer to add some color to your cheeks.

Urban Decay carries my second favorite lipsticks. This one specific color, Rapture, is one of my most used colors. I can wear is pretty much year round, depending what I wear. It is described as a dusty rose and I loved this color so much I purchased the blush to match! I use this lipstick on days I don't have any eyeshadow or when I use my Naked 3 palette from Urban Decay.

Eyebrows are a big essential when it comes to putting on my makeup. Some days all I wear is mascara and I fix my eyebrows. That is what I MUST put on to exit the house. Anastasia has a great Dipbrow Pomade that has many color options to match. To top off the setting of brows I love the Clear Brow Gel, which I recently got in my Play! By Sephora monthly subscription box. I have used it many times since I got it and love how it sets my brows and keeps them perfectly in place. When they are set, it almost feels like glue in my eyebrows!

Highlighter is becoming a raved product to have. Everyone loves seeing highlighted cheek bones in pictures and makes you glow. I love testing out highlighters and I love the Urban Decay Shimmering Powder for Face and Body. I have two of the colors and love using them. Some people say they have too much glitter, but I love the shimmer payoff they give.

You may ask. All this makeup what do I use to take off my makeup? I use the Makeup Eraser. I have used it roughly for a year now and am obsessed. I have a total of 3, one for a backup, and two to use rotating while one is being washed. Sadly you can't find them at Ulta, but you can at Sephora and Aerie(by American Eagle)! When American Eagle does the 40% off purchase, usually these are included so last time they had that sale I bought two. With just wetting the Eraser, I just wipe off all of my makeup. Once a week or two roughly, just throw it in the washing machine and ready to use again!

Since it is finally March, my mind is set on wearing all Spring outfits. I recently went to J.Crew Factory and fell in love with this Ruffle-sleeve top. Not only am I obsessed with the stripes, it is NAVY stripes! Navy is a huge staple item year round in my closet, I can never say no to navy. Which brings me to my favorite purse I have ever carried. My Longchamp, this one is the smallest size in navy, of course.

It may still be winter technically, but it is spring in my closet. March 20th can hurry its self up, I need for it to be spring so bad! The Donna Shift Romper is a huge favorite of mine already, I wore it over this past weekend and got so many compliments on it. This may look like a shift dress but the perfect touch of a romper is hiding underneath. I felt like spring was already here with us. This print, Night Caw, keeps drawing my attention towards it. I love the pinks throughout the print and the pop of orange color at the bottom.

We all have had time when we find a post we meant to post a while back and never did! This is one of those. I have always loved this dress and never got around to editing and posting! Months later here is it! This was a dress I bought back when there was a GWP to get the suitcase. I love the fit of the Bay dress, the quarter sleeves are perfect for the warmer days in winter. Lately, where I live, we have had 70 degree days then goes back to 40 degrees. So having a dress that is easy to pair on the warmer winter days is perfect!

New Arrivals went out yesterday and I am talking all about my favorites. I am planning to go purchase my Easter dress this morning, which I won't be showing till then. I may throw in some hints until then. I am loving this shipment mainly because of all the different colors. Today, with purchasing my Easter dress, I may buy the adorable shift romper below. I love how it looks like a shift dress, but actually is a romper! Here are my favorite pieces that released yesterday. 

Happy Valentines Day! It is the day that someone either loves or hate. I usually don't care for the holiday, mainly because if you are with someone, you should always show your significant other you care about them. Sometimes this is the only day someone shows affection to their other. However I may not love this holiday, I sure do love all things that surround love. Like this shirt from Vineyard Vines, I purchased the first week of January because I knew I needed to add it to my closet. Last year I got the I WHALE YOU shirt, which is featured HERE, and I loved it so much! I couldn't wait to get my hands on this shirt.

It is almost Valentine's Day and LUSH is prepared for the day of love! If you have not tried any LUSH products you need to! They are so amazing and lovely for a night to yourself. I am a huge fan of their bath bombs and bubble bars. I may have tried two other products aside from those two. Their bath bombs and bubble bars are some of the best products they have. The most creative and thoughtful bath bombs that fill your tub with fizz, glitter, some bubbles, and amazing smells. The bubble bars top the bath off with the best amount of bubbles you can get! I love taking videos of what happens from the beginning of my bath.

Have you ever been interested in Tieks? My goodness, I have been obsessed with them for years and never even owned a pair yet! This Christmas my gift was this beautiful pair of Champagne Tieks (which were only available during the weekend after Thanksgiving!). The moment I noticed my gift was Tieks, I was beyond excited and overjoyed! I first want to say look how adorable is the packaging! With the release of a Champagne color, Tieks went to the extra with the package. Added a cookie in the shape of a Champagne bottle, confetti tissue paper, and tinsel filled the box. 

There have many reasons I have wanted a pair of Tieks, even after the price tag.

1. The reviews for them are amazing


2. The quality leather is meant to last


3. Multiple color options


4. Claim to be comfortable


5. I hate every other ballet flats I purchase


6. I have to wear closed toed shoes at one of my jobs


7. The blue prints are adorable, especially the blue box

The many reasons I have wanted a pair, make up for the month I have been wearing mine. The day I got them I immediately wore them and pretty much daily since then. I have worn them everywhere when I did not need to wear old shoes or my bean boots because of the snow.

It now has been roughly a month wearing my pair of Tieks and I have to say that all I want is more Tieks! They live up to their name and so much more. At one of my jobs, I have to wear closed-toe shoes and these have been worn almost daily! I will mention I have never really loved wearing a pair of ballet flats and these have been chosen over many of my favorite pair of shoes. I feel like my other shoes are feeling lonely, as if they could speak to me. I am now officially stating that I am in love with my Tieks and recommend them to anyone who is interested in a pair.

The NEW YEAR is upon us. 2016 has left and 2017 has made an entrance. The year that I will turn 21, the year I finally have joined a gym, and a year for more exciting things to come. Can you believe is finally 2017?! Me neither! To start out the new year upon us I thought I would share some of my favorite photos from this past year. I love looking back at the year and see some of my favorite moments.

This was the year that my mom stepped in multiple times to have photo shoots with me. Having me ask her many questions how an outfit looks.

The year I went on my first "big girl" trip with my 3 friends over summer. The time I had to actually plan on how much money I would need for a week away from home.

This year I gained so much knowledge on how to take photos for my blog. Especially after finally getting a DSLR camera over the summer. Finding my favorite places to have photo shoots, especially the white wall.

The year I bought two Lilly Pulitzer sets then finally caved in and bought Lilly pants and leggings. Then also found out I have an obsessed over the Lilly skorts. Then finally bought so much Lilly I received the Lilly beach chairs, umbrella, and the suitcase.

2016 was the year I turned 20, crazy to think this year I will be 21! I am finally living in my twenties and the best days are still yet to come. I never like to set resolutions for when a new year comes up. I like to have goals for the future to come. I like to have either an idea what I want to do with my life or a plan. I do have a goal this year to gain blogging experiences. I love blogging and after having a month break in December I am beyond excited getting back into things!

Within the first week of January in 2017, we get snow in South Carolina. Yes, the place that goes crazy then obsessively buys milk and bread like the world is ending. I took advantage of the beautiful background and covered ground to show this outfit off. I have this Vineyard Vines vest from last year that came back this year in navy, that no longer on the website I guess it sold out! I love this vest, I don't pull it out much but I love pairing it with a pink top.
