So many things inspire me but nothing's as intoxicating as the delight of a Paris daydream.  From all of its  gorgeous, iconic charm to the simple moments the city so effortlessly holds, "Paris is always a good idea".  

Today's look captures the French girl style with a few simple, key pieces.  This sweater is a piece to build a dream on for sure.  The eyelet sleeves and cuff detailing are so beautiful.  It can play so prettily with everything from denim to drama.  I love it with this pair of high-waisted flared jeans.  There's something about the feminine paired with the casual that I really love.

This driving moc is such a classic and adds a subtle sense of the traditional to the whole look.  Of course, I can never go very long without some form of pink, haha.  The jacket is just the thing and would be perfect with so many spring outfits.  

This bag (similar) rounds out the look.  The color is completely versatile and works with every shade I can think of.    The adjustable strap makes it super easy to wear and the gold hardware and letter are the exact right finishing touch.

Simple pieces that are easily paired together or with so many of the pieces you already own are always a good investment.  I love when getting dressed is this easy.  Don't you?

For as long as I can remember, I've always had a love affair with pastels.  Intially, I had thought of them as a perfect way to welcome springtime with all those pretty pinks, mint greens, soft yellows and of course, powder blues.  As time went on and my love affair matured, I came to realize how much I really loved those hues as a way to add warmth to winter.  

Maybe they are a reflection of snowscapes and winter sunsets or maybe they are just a realization of how much we all look forward to warmer days ahead, haha but either way, I love pastels in winter.  Today's look was created to celebrate the season we are in with a combination of soft shades and pretty neutrals that can't get enough of each other.  Hmmm, sounds like a love story to me, haha.

This color blue says winter to me but in a very cozy and comforting way.  I love making it the star of the show by pairing this coat with ivories, creams and blush tones alongside shades of sun-washed denim.  Then for some added interest and just enough contrast to make the look interesting, I love these animal print loafers.  

Gold and rose gold accessories in the form of this ring and this watch are my favorite ways to finish the look while keeping everything so beautifully balanced.  See, with looks like this, winter isn't so bad!

What do you all turn to to keep the winter blues at bay?  Hope you're having a beautiful week!

Christmas is coming and that is so exciting!  It can also be a little nerve-racking though if you haven't quite wrapped up all of your holiday shopping.  Don't worry, today's post has you covered.

I find that gifts of beauty, self-care and ones that someone will use on the daily are those that everyone loves.  And, luckily, they are also still easy to get your hands on.  This body lotion is perfect thing for anyone who loves pampering themselves in a simple way that can become an awaited part of their everyday routine.  This one is absolutely delightful.  Rich, creamy and instantly absorbed by moisture craving wintertime skin.  I also love this option by Laura Mercier.  The scent is incredible and reminds me of a holiday fireside, cocoa in hand and great company nearby.  This mini set featuring all of her body soufflés would also be a fantastic choice and she will love the variety of fragrance choices. Hmmmm, I may have to make that a 'me to me', haha.

Beauty sleep is a gift in itself and this pillowcase and sleeping mask will be some things they never knew they needed but can't live without.  They come in a bunch of pretty colors and patterns so you're sure to find the right choice for anyone.  

A cozy throw and delicious candle are also great ideas for holiday gifting and exactly what anyone would want for winter nights.  This ultra soft one by Barefoot Dreams is never far from my reach and this candle  is my little bit of luxury that smells amazing and always sets the mood.

If you're looking to spoil, then a gorgeous watch is the timely answer.  I think this one is gorgeous and looks beautiful on all skin tones.  If it is for him then this statement watch can't be beat.  

Many favorite retailers are offering guaranteed delivery by Christmas through today.  Curbside pickup is also another convenient option but if you love it, please don't wait because great gifts go quickly!  Wishing you happy shopping and a merry Monday!

It's that time...the Sephora Beauty Insider Event has begun with specialized shopping days dedicated to the three tiers of shoppers Sephora loves aka all of you!  I love when stores and brands honor loyal shoppers and this event is Sephora's beautiful way of doing that twice every year.  With November's arrival, they are rolling out the red carpet and offering up to 20% off to their most loyal customers who also happen to love a great beauty deal.  You can begin shopping today through November 9th depending upon your Beauty Insider level.  Not a Sephora shopper all that much just yet?  That's okay, newbies can enjoy the perks too by getting the details and signing up here.  

So, let's get started! There are always so many goodies to enjoy, it takes a couple posts to explore them all.  You can also see more of my earlier picks in this post here.  But for today, these beauties are in the spotlight.

If you've tried anything from Charlotte Tilbury then you already know that all the hype is real, haha.  There's just something about this British beauty brand that mesmerizes each time.  Of course, her makeup selection is gorgeous and glow-getting and her skincare line is very much the same.

This jar of goodness is very aptly named.  The famous Magic Cream will get your skin in tip-top shape.  Watching Charlotte flawlessly apply it to her models will be enough to make you a believer, haha.  But honestly, everything I've tried from the line has been amazing.

Now, of course, if you need any big-ticket items, this is undeniably the time to pick those up.  Or if you are gifting them this holiday, the same applies.  These T3 beauties definitely qualify.  These wands and this dryer are unanimously known as some of the best there are.  I've yet to meet a fellow beauty junkie who did own and love them.  If you haven't tried them out and can fit it in the budget, I highly recommend both.

Lucious scents are also a great idea to stock up on any time of year, especially now.  I have many favorites but as we dive into the colder weather months, I always reach for warm and cozy options.  This iconic one from Aerin does not disappoint.

And, not to be left out, are the glorious gift sets that are currently hitting shelves and screens.  This palette from Bobbi Brown is simply beautiful and great to give or to get as the colors are beautifully designed to enhance all skin tones.  Seems Bobbi always gets it right.

Small tokens like this lash primer and this incredible lip mask will be ones you use every single day.  They also make great little stocking stuffers your gal pals will love.

Ahhh, I'm so excited about this sale!  Sephora may not offer them often but when they do they are worth shopping early and often.  I hope you enjoy these pretty picks as well as find a few favorites of your own.  Happy shopping!

Hello, beauties!  How excited are you all for gifting (and getting!) some great new beauty gifts this coming holiday?  I can definitely tell you I am and Sephora is ready to make your holiday wishes come true.  When it comes to new beauty and scoring your faves with huge savings, Sephora gets it right.  In fact, their Beauty Insider Event is coming up later this month and it will be the time to scoop up all the beauty must-haves and craves you will want to get and give this holiday.  

In anticipation of all that, I have put together some ideas to help get that gorgeous gift list going.  Each of these is a new beauty item that you and they will love.  Each is from a tried and true brand whose product line I already love and I've added in one new brand that I'm excited to try out.  

So, let's begin with a familiar favorite...Charlotte Tilbury.  I never know where to begin when it comes to this iconic line.  The day it hit Nordstrom I was giddy with such pleasure, haha.  Her colors just speak to me and I also love how she step by step shows you how to create so many gorgeous looks.  Her palettes are designed to work together to achieve the desired effect you're looking for and individual colors can stand alone as well.  I think we all love her shadows if we've tried them before and this gorgeous new collection is no exception.  I mean...who wouldn't love absolutely beautiful in these shades?  And, the words 'pillow talk' have taken on a completely new meaning of their own.  If you've tried the lipstick and liner duo you know what I mean.  Now, I'm looking forward to trying out this new set.  

The eyes have it when it comes to quick makeup looks and maybe you're more of a shadow stick girl.  Laura Mercier has yet to disappoint me and I have a feeling these pretty pencils are going to keep the good  going.  If you're in a hurry or just like an unfussy yet still finished look, shadow sticks are what you'll want to reach for.  They are soft and blendable and very hard to overdo.  They also make it easy for you to get done in a hurry while still looking your beautiful best.

When it comes to some lines I love and am always devoted to Marc Jacobs, Kérastase and Dr. Lancer are three I will always shop for.  I fell in love with Marc Jacobs Beauty after one use of this lash primer.  If you've never tried it, your lashes are begging you to do so, haha.  No matter what kind of lashes you were given, this primer will have you looking like a natural doe-eyed beauty.  I want to give this gel liner a try next.  Kérastase has a new night serum I can't wait to discover.  If your skin reaps the benefits, why not your hair?  And, you all know of my love affair with Dr. Lancer and I think this set will be the perfect way to introduce a few friends to him too.

The much-hyped Rare Beauty line seems to be worth a look too and this liquid blush looks like it would be so very pretty.  Any of you, who are fans of this type of formula for flushing your cheeks, already know what a natural, ethereal glow from within look it can give.  But, a few key requirements must be met.  They are color, blendability, staying power and pigment.  Let's see how this one stacks up.  

Finally, Dae haircare products have become new favorites of mine.  This hair oil will be every girl's dream.  Pick up a bottle for your sister or bestie and watch how her hair will glow.  And, everyone needs a great hair brush.  Morrocan oil has always been a great source of hydration and this brush will be just what we need to take it from roots to tips.

Ahhh, so much to look forward to when it comes to new beauty right now.  I can't wait to see what else Sephora will have in store.  Be sure to check back at the end of this month when the Insider Event begins. I'll be sure to have more pretty presents for you to enjoy!

Hope everyone is having a great Friday...Happy weekend friends!

If you all know me then you know for sure that my absolute favorite time of the day is golden hour.  That magical span of time when the sun has not yet set but instead lights the world on fire before completely falling away.  Everything glows and glistens as if it were gently dusted by the most beautiful bronzer money can buy.  Haha, it definitely is a beautiful time and I am enjoying it every evening here on the east coast.  Today I'm highlighting some special pieces that capture those magical moments and would be perfect to wear wherever you are enjoying golden hour for yourself.  This halter dress is one of my current faves and with its color it would be gorgeous to wear both now and right on into the fall.  I am also loving this necklace.  It is one of my absolute favorite items as we speak.  I can't even begin to tell you how much I adore it.  I also think that a bit of shimmer goes a long way on these sensual summer evenings.  This one is an ethereal beauty.  And, this gloss is exactly what a reach for when I want the absolute perfect peach pout.  

I've linked all of these picks in the thumbnails below.  Hope you are enjoying a great week along with some spectacular summer nights of your own...

It's the weekend and it's winter so for some of us that means ski weekend....or at least a cozy cabin moment.  If you're feeling those fireside or ski slope vibes, today's look is for you!  From head to toe, these key pieces are exactly what will create that pretty winter weekend look.  Even though it's cold outside, I always love to work in some soft pastels and neutrals that keep me warm while reminding me of spring.  This turtleneck is the perfect layering piece that works all by itself as well as beneath a sweater or faux fur vest.   White bottoms are always right and look so chic paired with all the sweaters you own.  A pair of fur lined lug sole booties and beautiful parka round it all out and keep me toasty and looking cute.  After that, I'll add in some very soft, ethereal colors like these shadows and this lip gloss to complement the whole look.  Don't forget to treat those hands to some soft hydration.  Winter is sometimes super harsh on our skin so slathering on a emollient treatment (love this one) and wearing those gloves is a must!

So what does everyone have planned for the weekend?  Whatever you're doing, I hope it keeps you cozy and warm.  Catch up with me over on stories and have a great time everyone!

You all know how much I loveee fall so what better wish list to put together than a lovely autumn inspired one of everything I've been falling for this season.  No matter the year, every fall I seem to gravitate towards the same color scheme.  So while the styles and shilouetttes can change, the colors and shades remain the same.  Cognacs, creams, burgundies and grays are always the heart of what I love about autumn.  Cinnamon and spice tones round things out with bits of black to add some playful contrast.  Ahhhh, so good!  Currently craving this watch, one of these phone cases and everything teddy fleece.  Can you see why fall is my favorite, haha.  Hope you all are enjoying it too!

It's the most wonderful time of the year, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is finally here!  Haha, I'm only half kidding because if you're at all fashion girl then you know what I mean.  Every July Nord's rolls out their first look at fall which is exciting enough on its own but what's better is they drop prices lower than most end of season clearance sales...on NEW merchandise!  The only trick, you have to be fast in order to score the items you want before they are GONE.  And I do mean super quick as some things sell out within minutes of going live on the website.  So, with that being the case here are the pertinent details you'll need to get what you love.  

Shop early and shop often.  If you want in on the sale right now before it goes live to the public "the card is the key" as they say.  Simply head on over to the Nordstrom website where you can sign up to be a cardholder and you will gain early access to the sale and all its savings.  What I love about being one (and there are many) is that I can use my Nordstrom debit card to make my purchases and earn rewards points.  These then equate into twenty dollar notes which can multiple and be spent on future purchases and because I requested a debit card, any all all money I spend comes right out of my checking account so now debt accumulates.  If, however, you'd rather it not work that way then you can request the Nordstrom credit card and pay it off at a pace you're comfortable with.  Either way you still get all the perks and never miss out on what's going on.

So, these are some of the items I picked up over the weekend.  While I happen to be one of those people who loves to look, see and feel it in person, I suggest you shop the sale online right now to first see if the items you want are currently available.  And, if you like it, I suggest you get it because you can always return it (Nordstrom's return policy is unmatched, another reason I love shopping with them).  This sweater was one I knew I had to have from the moment I saw it, haha.   Well, in other words, I really liked it.  Unfortunately, it is currently sold out but I'm hoping they'll restock for the 19th when the sale goes live tp the public.  This Coach bag is the perfect shade for all year round and especially for autumn.  I love the shape and style and how well it will go with so many of these cute styles.  This Michele watch is so pretty and you can start wearing it right now in this color combination.  The clothes aren't the only items worth scoping up right now.  The beauty deals are some of the best I've seen in recent years of the sale.  This lipstick set from Charlotte Tilbury is her best seller duo for a sweet steal.  I'm also in love with these colors in this MAC palette.  Cannot wait to wear these!  More of my beauty picks will be on the blog later this week so stay tuned.  Until then you can shop the links below right now if you have the card or wait for the sale to go live to the public on July 19th.  Get the details here!

Hope everyone is having a great Monday and looking forward to a wonderful week ahead.  Thanks for sharing the start of it with me! You guys are the best!!

Happy Monday friends!  The week is new and to me that's the perfect time to reach for a fresh look that will get you feeling ready.  Gingham is a summertime go-to and these sweet looks show us exactly why.    Feminine, classic and fresh this look always reminds me of summers in New England complete with clambakes, bonfires and beach blankets.  This dress would be so cute with easy slides and a pretty straw tote or clutch.  Soft shades of pink on the lips and eyes are the perfect complement to the look and these sunnies round it all out.  Once the weekend rolls around, a retro-style check swimsuit and darling little topknot take over.  That was a fast M -F now wasn't it? Haha!  See and shop all these pieces in the thumbnails below to put the look together for yourself.  Hope everyone is enjoying a great first week of June.  Thanks for visiting!

It's a funny thing when a girl wants to achieve natural looking makeup, she can easily spend way more time perfecting it than she would if she was going for a fully made up face.  Ironic.  If you've ever tried for the #iwokeuplikethis look then you know what I mean, haha.  These products I've picked out today are chosen with all that in mind and are some of the best for getting you fresh and flush.  This makeup sponge is the perfect little tool for seamlessly applying and flawlessly blending your concealer, foundation or both depending upon what your skin wants and needs that day.  A bit of a rosy glow is not only pretty on the cheeks.  Light colored eyes really sparkle when you pop a little bit of mauve or rosy brown shadow on them.  This lip pencil gives you the absolute prettiest natural rose lip.  A subtle touch of highlighter will give you that beautiful lit from within glow.  This one is my absolute favorite.  A great mascara wakes up any sleepy eyes.  I've heard really great things about this one and am excited to try it.  Finally, set that look with a nourishing hydrating mist.  I just bought this one and am loving it!.  I've linked these pretties along with all the ones shown above for you below.  Have fun and always show off that natural beauty!

Happy almost weekend!  Those two days are always everyone's favorite but in December they take on a whole new meaning.  From holiday light peeping and fireside present wrapping to baking up cookies and hosting close friends, these are the days sweet memories are made.  If your gifting is not yet quite wrapped up here are some tiny treasure any girl's stocking is sure to love.  These candles are some of my favorites and this sampler set is a perfect way to introduce them to a friend.  A new phone case is always a necessity.  This one is so pretty.  I love the white marble and rose gold combo!  Keep all the tech gear powered and ready with a pretty (extra long!) charger cord like this one.  And who couldn't use a cute coffee mug for their morning sips?  I love this little one and its happy sentiment.  If you're searching for more ideas for fun and pretty little gifts you can shop my picks in the thumbnails below.  Hope everyone's having a happy Thursday!

Hello beauties!  Monday beauty deals are summertime hot with all the looks you'll be wanting to wear this fall thanks to Nordstrom's.  These sets and items are some of my favorites from the sale this year.  Here's what you need to know:

Soft loose curls that last for days are yours each time you give the T3 Single Pass Curl a whirl.  Because it's that good, it has already sold out but chances are it may be restocked on July 20th when the sale opens to the public.  Check back here for updates!

Another super hot must-have you'll want to get your hands on is the GloPro kit.  Micro needling has taken my skin from good to gorgeous and this is the little gem that gets it done.  This kit comes with all the attachments you need and is on sale for under $200 (well under!)  Run don't walk if you want skin that glows and a wallet that loves you.

This makeup palette caught my eye right away and does not disappoint  I've always been fan of understand beauty and that's exactly what Laura Mercier delivers every time.  So pretty!

Sara Happ makes lips happy.  This duo softens and smoothes even the truest of sun parched pouts.

Sleep is a girl's best friend and this pillowcase makes for the sweetest dreams.  Your skin is enveloped in silly smooth softness that adores your delicate face and hair leaving them untouched with never a pillow crease or frizzy flyaway to be seen.

Summertime skin can be left to face the fall feeling dry, rough and thirsty.  Whenever I hop out of the shower the first thing I reach for is a nourishing body creme that rehydrates and fortifies by skin. This one is the perfect choice with all its good for your skin nutrients that'll leave your skin soft and touchable.

Finally, this lip set from Charlotte Tilbury says hello perfect pout unlike any other.  These pretty nudes compliment nearly all skin tones.  Get this set if you love blushing nudes that look effortlessly perfect.  

My other beauty faves that I'm obsessed with right now are all linked below.  Let me know how much you love them!  Until then enjoy this beautiful Monday everyone!
