YSL beauty






Black and camel has always been such a classic combo and still remains as one of my all time favorites. It speaks of old school glam and gives a nod to the origins of Chanel.  Hello, Grace Kelly.  Today's look is a modern take on this much-loved go-to as it pairs the perfect neutrals and creates the sexiest looks for fall.  This black bodycon dress hugs all the curves as it leaves a sense of mystery and allure while never revealing too much.  Pair it with these over the knee boots (obsessed!) to extended the look and give the illusion of long and lean.  A gorgeous suede jacket gives a little extra warmth and adds a sweet bit of sass.  This one is always in the rotation for me because it works with sooooo many of the pieces I own and lets me create multiple autumn looks.  Add in a few cute camel (or gold) accessories (this bag, this belt and this hat would each do the trick) and you have the perfect polished look that can take you anywhere while looking amazing.  

 Hope you're having a wonderful week and have a happy Halloween!

Tomorrow's the day to show and share your love.  Why not send a little of that caring your own way with a day of pampering that leaves you feeling like a queen?  Today I'm sharing some of my favorite  products and ways to treat myself to a day (or even just a few moments) of divine luxury.  This new fragrance from Tory Burch is definitely love at first sight.  The gorgeous packaging, romantic little bottle and delicious scent are exactly what you'd expect from Ms. Burch (aka the queen of affordable luxury).  So in love.  This robe is just the thing you'll want to slip into when getting ready for a great night out (or equally wonderful night in).  It is a bit on the extravagant side but this is an excellent alternate  option that's wallet friendly and just as gorgeous.  Finally, maybe the ultimate treat that'll last long after the glow of Valentine's Day, this bag is everything right now...clearly words can not do it justice, haha.  I hope you all have a wonderful holiday snuggled up with the one you love!

Happy Wednesday! What a wonderful day to enjoy all things pink. That could be any day really because blush tones make me happy any and all times of the week, month or year.  There's something especially nice though about rose tones in winter when we are all longing for pops of color and bits of sunshine.  And, because it's only January, pairing them with smokey neutrals and winter white makes for a lovely escape from the fashion doldrums.  This sweater would be perfect when worn with a chic pair of wide legged trousers, this nude heel and topped with a cloud grey belted wrap coat.  Small touches of pink are just as nice too.  I've been using this beautiful iPhone case I got for Christmas for a month and smile each time I see it.  I've linked some of my other pastel favorites below...hope you adore them as much as I do!  Have a sweet day everyone!

If there's one thing I am it is a girly-girl.  Ruffles,  feminine accents, florals and all things pink only begin to describe the direction my eye goes when seeing new trends.  Today I decided to juxtapose things just a little bit and throw a little menswear inspo into the mix.  My single must-have piece this very moment is beyond a doubt the ruffle sweater.  Could there be anything more darling than this?  Cast it in pink and I am completely sold.  But should that look prove to be to saccharine for some, why not throw in a great menswear-inspired trench (this one is less than $120), a little boyfriend denim, some ink and slate tones and these killer booties (under $90!).  Suddenly the girl next door has an unmistakable edge.  If any of these pieces or pairings are calling you, you can find them all linked below along with some similar styles you'll love too.  Hope everyone is having a lovely Wednesday!

The weekend's arrived and it's time to play.  What better place to start than in your beauty bag?  This month one of my favorite things to do is toss out the old and bring in the new.  By that I mean give your beauty arsenal a good going through and toss out anything that no longer serves a purpose or isn't bringing you joy.  After all, the time you spend on your makeup routine is meant to be enjoyed and pampering not messy nor stressful.  

Once you know what must go, you'll easily know what you need.  For me I'm certain that all things pink are what my skin adores right now.  From pretty blushes to glowing glosses, blushing nudes are the exact right touch for winter skin.  This Tarte palette will warm up any cold weather complexion and combines shades for both eyes and cheeks.  This YSL lip color looks incredible on everyone and this warm and inviting scent has me wanting to wrap myself up in it day and night.  Plenty of other pretty in pink choices are linked below.  Find your favorite and treat yourself right....Happy Friday loves!

So I don't know about you but I love the little things in life that make it extra sweet.  Translate that into the fashion world and it's all those beautiful accessories that come to mind.  Today I'm sharing some of my current favorites for fall.  From Tory Burch to Rebecca Minkoff and every gorgeous thing in between, a girl just can get enough of these beautiful adornments.  This bag is my latest go-to and the perfect complement to all that is fall.  I picked mine up in the color putty during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale last season but also love it in this shade.  These block heel beauties are begging to party a la 1920 and the fabulous flapper scene.  I'm also loving this creamy neutral shade of polish and these sleek cat-eye inspired shades.  Many favorites make a season and you can shop all my current picks below.  Hope you're enjoying all this amazing fall scenery in your neck of the woods.  Oh October, how I love you!!

Why hello, Monday! Look at all the lovely you brought with you!  Today's fashion inspo features some of my latest loves for fall.  And, along with the classic staples (hello plaid and equestrian styles) I'm also feeling fun prints and candy apple red accents that offer a little bit of whimsy to an otherwise standard set.  So this little sweater is so very darling and is going to let you get so many extra miles out of your fall wardrobe choices.  I like the idea of unexpectedly pairing it with a great pair of boyfriend jeans, sexy red pumps and this color blocked clutch.  Adorable!  I also want to send it on a date with a flirty black skirt, these sunnies and a classic leather jacket.  This bag from Tory Burch has seriously gotten my attention.  I mean seriously. No one is as clever at consistently reinventing themselves as the modern classic Ms. Burch.  I'm wondering where this journey away from classic monogram will lead.  This sweetly detailed jacket is the blazer reinvented for a wonderfully feminine feel.  And finally, these boots are going to be leading the way down many colorful leaf lined paths this fall.  Hope your week is off to a beautiful start!

Friday's here which means time for a weekend getaway.  Before you pack your bags for the beach be sure to have all the essential your hair, skin and face will need.  This little gadget has done something I never thought possible.  It has replaced my once beloved Clarisonic as my must-have cleansing device. Unlike the beauty brush, this palm sized cleansing device pulsates your way to cleaner, clearer and healthier skin {in just three days!}  I grabbed mine at the latest Nordstrom's sale only days ago and can already see gorgeous changes in my skin.  Couple that with no brush heads to sanitize or replace and it only needs charging every five months. Definitely worth a looksee.  I was also given this mind blowing face serum to try and my oh my is it a powerhouse of perfection!  I admit the price tag is a bit steep but honestly, you only have one face and you wear it, everyday.  Break that down and compare the cost-per-wear to your shoes and….sold.  My hair's never quite the same without the right product in it.  This volumizer by Kérastase leaves mine feeling full and looking lush.  Perfection.  Beach curls are equally perfected with this magic creme.  Toss all your beauty loot into a great bag {love this one for beach days} and it's ready, set, sunshine! Enjoy the first weekend of summer!

Wonderful Wednesdays are even better when they are the lead in to a long holiday weekend.  This Memorial Day will be filled with beach sides, barbecues, pool days and sweet relaxing moments made for two.  Naturally, you'll need to be sure your wardrobe is ready for the days of sunshine ahead and these picks are some of my latest favorites for summer weekend fun.  This crocheted two piece is perfect for chaise lounging.  I also say this hat is a must.  I recently picked up these platform sandals and have never been happier.  The pop of red is absolutely perfect and they go with everything I own in white, blue, black and chambray.  I'm thinking this off-the-shoulder bow top is simply adorable and begging for a date with your white shorts or flip skirt.  So sweet.  Finish your favorite tops and bottoms off with a sexy little swipe of red on the lips.  This YSL classic is always right and I've also recently fallen for this one.  I hope you've made some great plans that you're looking forward to as we all unofficially say, "Hello, summer!"

Beauty treats are always welcome and these are some of the latest craves I'm loving or wanting to try.  It's a poorly kept secret that I'm somewhat of a hair product junkie.  Haha!  I'm really not kidding though as every wave maker, shine enhancer and silkening thickener there is has passed through my hands at one time or another.  This latest liquid-to-powder texturizer by Joico has been getting a lot of buzz.  It promises textured waves with tons of lush, supple movement.  Currently available in store only I say Ulta, here we come!  This single pass twirling iron from T3 is amazing and gives the smoothest, high polished shine curls imaginable.  Much like its counterpart T3 dryer it's one beauty tool curl lovers can't live without.  This Prime Reserve Epidynamic Activating Creme from Amore Pacific is the brand's latest luxe must-have for glowing and gorgeous youthified skin.  Pricey? Yes, but your skin will never cease to thank you.  Not to ever be left off of any beauty list I write, Bobbi Brown has done it again with this pretty little eye and cheek palette.  The colors are incredible and so beautiful on the skin.  Eight eyeshadows and two blushes along with a great shadow brush all for $85.  That's a steal to scoop up before it's gone.  You can shop all my beauty crushes in the thumbnails below.  Have a wonderful Wednesday!

The impending change of seasons means transition time for one's wardrobe and wonderful news for all the 'wear now, wear later' pieces you may be craving this minute.  Even if you haven't added one new piece to your closet you can still take advantage of this style moment with a little clever mixing and matching.  To achieve this easy summer into fall look, take a classic piece you've been wearing all season like this soft chambray blouse.  Instead of paring it with those white shorts this time, try putting it together with a knee length black skirt like this and some edgy leather peep toe booties.  They're the next step towards fall that gives a nod to summer's end.  A casually luxe bag with some gorgeous gold hardware detailing kicks it up a bit by elevating the look to everyday glam.  These gorgeous sunnies (which I really want right now), a felt floppy and this statement watch take the look and tie it all together effortlessly well.  Really, it's as simple as that and it's all something you can do with the pieces you already own.  What could be easier?

Hope this little wardrobe redeux inspires you to find new ways to wear old favorites moving forward.  Wishing you a lovely day!

Happy Friday!  The weekend is here and that means we're only a week away from the February lovefest also known as Valentine's Day.  Whether single or spoken for, it's always so nice to dress up in your favorite ladylike fashion and enjoy the moment that it is.  Today I'm sharing some fun Valentine's Day inspo focusing upon gorgeous shades of red, ivory and nude.  The latter two are always on my list of go-to favorites regardless of season or temperature.  Check out this previous post for some lovely ways to wear them.  Adding a little crimson color makes for a beautiful way to celebrate all the love in your life.  This silk blouse is just so beautiful and can easily work with light denim skinnies and nude pumps or as it is here, paired with the gorgeous lace overlay skirt.  Not only that, but in the world of silk shirts, it also happens to be a steal.  Don't you just love when a wardrobe workhorse is also wallet friendly?  This darling little jacket would make for such a chic contrast with the look while keeping you warm.  Don't forget what wonders a little swipe of color can do.  My favorite red lip color comes from the same fashion house as my favorite handbags.  YSL's beauty is as incomparable as their leather and I absolutely love what both can do.  Before you go, be sure to remember a sweet sprtiz that'll linger and leave them wanting more.

Happy Monday! While I've fallen in love with many things before, the classic look of a smokey eye and the nude lip is still one of them.  There's something so alluring about the contrast this look carries.  The vixen meets ingenue effect doesn't hurt either.  So, let's talk about the easiest and prettiest ways to get the look yourself.  For starters, choose an eye palette created for your skin tone, whether that be warm or cool.  Although they are neutrals, it's still a must to find the shades that will complement your skins undertones. Cool skin tones generally look better in pinks and blue-based reds while warmer ones are flattered by corals, browns and cream colors.   I always reach for this palette because it is so flattering to my skin tone and all the shades work and blend beautifully together.  You can also find it in warm shades if that is what you need.  The nude lip is a look that once you master it, you'll never tire of it.  To keep yourself from looking washed out, again it's your skin tone that holds all the cards.  Lighter pinks like this one here give cool skin tones an ethereal glow while warmer ones are subtly set aglow by peachy beige shades.  I'm loving this one from ysl and these gorgeous colors too.  Be sure to exfoliate regularly (this little tub is amazing!) and get cheeky with your lip balm.  It's everything to your lips, that moisturizer is to your face.  

Here's to a beautiful start to the week!
