So, I finally broke down and bought these bracelets!! ahhhhh I don't know why I waited so long. I haven't stopped wearing them since I got them a few days ago.

 

 

 

I purchased the thick, turquoise "true love" bracelet & the thin, pink "love" bracelet.

They are perfect for stacking, or they make a great statement piece on their own.  Which ones do you have??

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is one of my FAVORITE holidays!! I love the pink everywhere and just the meaning of the day- love <3

 

Roses & the balloon my boyfriend got me!! So lucky :)

 

 

I made my boyfriend a card, Jello hearts, & cupcakes.  I put the cupcakes in plastic wine glasses with chocolate candies in the bottom... Plus a little gift.  He loved it :)

We spent the day having fun.. we went shopping, played with puppies at the pet store, then went to dinner and finished the night going to see the new movie, Safe Haven.  It was the best movie!!

 

I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's day full of love & happiness.

Bling Sneakers

These sneakers caught my eye today, and I couldn't help but be a little bit disappointed that I can't rock a pair of sneakers like this.  They are on the verge of being tacky, but cute at the same time. HA HA.
 I just don't think I would be able to pull them off... completely not my style, but I'm obsessed with the colors and design! 

What do you think?? Can you pull this look off??

Eiffel Tower

My boyfriend just surprised me with this Eiffel Tower candle holder which I am absolutely in LOVE with.  He is so thoughtful because I've been obsessed with anything Eiffel Tower for as long as I could remember! I have yet to go to Paris to see this beauty, but I dream of going one day!!

 

Another candle and a pill box that I use for decoration

JustFab Handbags

Hey ladies!!

I've been dying to share my latest handbag purchase! I received an alert about this great deal on handbags- ANY three handbags for $60! I definitely couldn't pass that up, and believe it or not, this offer was from Just Fab- a fashion website that is completely tailored to you based on a brief quiz  you take when you sign up.  I've always known Just Fab as a haven for shoe-aholics, but was pleasantly surprised by their handbag selection. 

The first bag that I couldn't resists was the "Gateway Arch"
I love this edgy bag with its studded detail!! It's fun to rock a bag like this once in a while :)

 

The next bag I had to have was the "Wayfarer"
It's a reptile textured, structured bag. I love the gold-toned chain and enclosure. I'm just a sucker for pink & gold!

 

 

My final choice was the "True Love" clutch. I absolutely love this. The rose detailing caught my eye, and I can't wait to use it for a special night out. 

 



So, these were the three bags that I picked out.  When you get a chance, definitely check out JustFab.com and take the style quiz.  Once you take it, a stylist will hand pick a selection of shoes, handbags, and jewelry just for you! Plus, they always have a sale going on!

If you already love Just Fab, be sure to check out Kimora and her team on Kimora: House of Fab on Style Network!! New episodes every Wednesday at 9/8c :)

Have a great weekend!!

Enhance your eye color

Ladies,

 

You know when you wear a certain color top and you just love the way it brings out your eyes?? Well, your makeup can do that, too! Depending on what color shadows or liners you wear, your eye color can really pop and look beautiful and dramatic!  Here are some tips:

 

 

Plum or purple shadows with their red undertones make green appear more vibrant because red is opposite green on the color wheel. Sweep a cream shimmer color across the brow bones to highlight and draw every more attention to your eyes.

 

The intensity of a dark blue or charcoal shade is a sharp contrast to light or bright blue eyes. A sweep of a rose or pinky color on the brow bones keeps the look from being overpowering.

 

A touch of gold shimmer from the inner lid to mid-lid will make brown appear richer. A dark brown color applied mid-lid to outer lid adds a darker contrast that compliments the gold.

 

 

Hope you enjoy!  Make sure you experiment with your eye color :)

Favorite Lipsticks

Good evening ladies <3

So, I wanted to share what my favorite lipsticks are to wear this time of year.  Usually, I'm all about the hot pink and the baby pink lips, but I love switching it up with some pretty plum and deep maroon colors.  Of course, nude lips always look amazing no matter what time of year :)

Here are some of my favorites right now:

 

 

"Creme Brulee" by Revlon

"Whisper" by Victoria's Secret

"Athena" by NYX

"Castle" by NYX

"Waterviolet" by Clinique

"Good Year for Wine" by Ulta Brand

"Cherry Tart" by ELF

 

To see what the colors actually look like, here are some swatches :)

 

 

 

When wearing a bold color on your lips, it's important to prep and prime your lips before applying the color. If you don't, the color will appear chunky or cracked on your lips. 

You definitely don't want that!

So, in order to avoid that, I exfoliate with my Lip Exfoliator by ELF cosmetics.  This clears away any dead skin and smooths cracked lips.  Then, I apply a lip balm (I use any of my EOS balms).  Sometimes, I'll even dab concealer on my lips to mute out the natural color of my lips, so that it doesn't change the actual shade of the lipstick.  You can also use a lip primer to keep you color lasting all day, if you'd like. 

 

 

 

Please share your favorite lippies, too!!

<3
