A Little Sparkle On My Shoulder

shorts Hi Lovers,

It’s only half way through the week, can you believe it! I’m already excited for this weekend. It is going to be full of relaxing and sleeping in. Since the weather has been a bit bipolar I am taking advantage of every day that has been nice.

IMG_9381 I totally forgot I had these shorts. I purchased them last year to wear to wear when it was hot and I didn’t feel like wearing a dress. They are the perfect length for dressing up and wearing with heels. Finding shorts that aren’t too short but are still somewhat short can be extremely difficult. When looking for shorts I try to go with 3″.

IMG_9386 Spring dresses are really popular, but I’m not always in the mood to wear a dress. Instead I pair a sparkly top with these shorts to instantly dress up these simple shorts.

IMG_9385 Shoes can really finish an outfit. I choose these purple shoes because there is no other color in the outfit, making them pop! Plus the bow and sparkles are just so cute!

Green Smokey Eye

Happy Tuesday Lovers,

Hope you check out the video above! I have gotten a few requests on how I do my makeup so today’s video is a makeup tutorial. This is not my everyday makeup, but that one will be coming soon! The colors I used in this are great neutrals that will look good on lots of different complexions. One thing to remember is that you can always add more color, but once it is on it is very hard to take off without redoing the entire look. So, start light and work it up darker.

Ballerina Dress

dress Hey There Lovers,

How was your weekend? I hope you all enjoyed your Mother’s Day weekend! With all of the wonderful pictures I saw on Instagram and Facebook there are lots of lucky mommies out there. I had a wonderful weekend! I got to spend a wonderful Saturday with my grandparents and a amazing Sunday with my mommy. Lately, knowing that I am going to be a bit farther away soon, I am trying to enjoy every minute of it.

IMG_9397 Saturday was the perfect day for a dress! It was just the right temp but not too muggy. Recently when on a shopping excursion with my mom and sister I found this dress. Once I tried it on, I knew it was the perfect summer dress. It was perfectly fitted on the top and flared out like a ballerina skirt on the bottom.

IMG_9399 Having a great jean jacket on hand is always a great idea because even though the weather has been quite warm, as soon as the sun goes away it gets chilly fast. I found this one at H&M a few years ago and it has been the perfect addition to my wardrobe.  Jean jackets are perfect for any type of summer dress.
