Fashion Creeper
Ok, I've officially hopped on the creepers band wagon! If someone would have told me a year ago that I'd want these in every color I would have laughed you out of the room. They're definitely not for everyone but, to me..they're awesome!
Casual Friday, Starry Eyed
It's been one rainy week and to say I'm excited for the weekend would be an understatement! The boy and I had a very productive week shooting with the new lens (which I'm obsessed with!). It was a bit of a splurge but, one that produces gorgeous images. If you follow me on Instagram you'll know I shared a peek at this look after my trip to the SF flower mart. Side Note: if you're ever visiting and looking for something free to do, I would highly recommend making a visit! Dealing with the intermittent showers casual has been my middle name. There just isn't any knowing when the next storm will hit.
The January Edit
January has certainly been a month of reflection, especially when it comes to looking at the previous year's fashions. Looking forward to the year ahead means making a switch from quantity to quality.
Rosemary Bourbon Sour
Don't let sugary cocktails weigh down your new years resolution! As someone who enjoys the occasional cocktail, I'm 100% against sugary juices and sodas, to me they just taste fake. In hopes of fulfilling my new year's resolutions and incorporating fresh fruits and vegetables into my eating habits, this also includes cocktails. This take on the classic bourbon sour uses fresh lemons, and a rosemary simple syrup that couldn't be easier to make! Keep reading for the full recipe
Date Night Beauty with Target Concierge
Grab that dress you've been dying to wear and get ready to hit the town, it's date night! Whatever your celebratory plans may be, this beauty tutorial is sure to be the icing on top of your cake. For me date night is incredibly special, especially since me and the boy have never been busier. When we do find time to put together a night out, I'm always game to get my glam on. I've been dying to check out the new beauty products that've hit the shelves since the new year, so I decided a Target run was a must.
Finding Your Signature Scent
Have you ever found yourself aimlessly wandering the perfume department, feeling a bit overwhelmed? If this "so many perfumes, so little time" mantra has passed your mind then finding a signature scent probably has as well. Finding a perfume that embodiespersonality can be a difficult thing to decipher, especially if you're not sure what to look and smell for. Perfumes are complex and are created based on a combination of notes that can be used to further describe a scent when applied to the skin. These notes are what build each brand's signature fragrances and what you should keep in mind when choosing a scent for yourself.
Casual Friday, Monochromatic Moments
Happy First week of 2016! It was a bit crazy to get back into the swing of things both at work and in the blog world but, I have big hopes for the new year. I've been working on putting together my goals, blog expectations, and even a rebrand - which I'm sooo excited for! In additional to getting back into the groove of things, I've also been battling the crazy weather. The rain has been absolutely nuts here, and really hasn't let up much. This always makes getting ready in something other than sweats a huge feat. Long cardigans (last seen here) and extra layers have been a must, oh yeah and an umbrella!
Best of Beauty 2015 & Giveaway!
Each year brings a bounty of new beauty goodies, some making the repurchase list and others hitting the trash. I've rounded up a few high and low products that I've used until pan and repurchased.
Lessons in R&R
Behind any blogger is a serious set of sweatpants and cardigans. Although my personal arsenal has plenty of old cotton tees and sweats (that should be thrown away) there are a few that stay true to the fashion aesthetic. These are the pieces in my closet that get the most wear week after week! One thing that these have in common with my old beloveds, is that they are incredibly soft and comfortable, which makes lounging that much better. I've shared M.Rena with you a few years ago- and practically raved about their high waited legging!
