How-To Wear a Jumpsuit | Jumpsuit Styling

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I am currently in the chaos of our move and I wore a jumpsuit the other day because most things are in boxes scattered all over our new bedroom floor and it was easy to grab a one-piece and toss it on. I received multiple compliments on it, which was nice especially because I felt anything but put together.

Jumpsuits are wonderful because they can be dressed up or down. I wear the same jumpsuits with casual sandals, heels, and sneakers. I will link a few of my favorites below!

The NEW French Manicure is the Same but Different | 2022 French Manicure

& 1 Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

In high school, at an inexpensive mall nail salon, I got my first manicure. It was 2002, so what do you think I got? A french manicure with airbrushed tips, of course. And now, in 2022, the french manicure is back and it’s the same but different.

The NEW French Manicure is the Same but Different | 2022 French Manicure

So, what’s the new style? It’s almost anything you want that is a bit different than the old classic. Colored tips, reverse french, embellished tips, or what I did which is the white french bordering the entire nail edge as opposed to only the tip.

My nails were done at a salon. My nails are a gel full set. I do still use my gel manicure kit for doing my own pedicures.

Have you tried this style? What do you think?

NYX Filler Instinct Review | NYX Filler Instinct Beach Casual

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

A few weeks ago I shared my thoughts on the NYX Filler Instinct Plumping Lip Gloss and today I want to share my thoughts on the NYX Filler Instinct Plumping Lip Color in Beach Casual.

NYX Filler Instinct Lip Color in Beach Casual

The NYX Filler Instinct Lipstick in Beach Casual is the perfect nude-y pink color and I love how I can swipe it over my lips, even without a mirror, and get the best your-lips-but-better lip color. It feels good on the lips. As far as plumping? I don’t notice the tingling sensation as I do with the NYX Filler Instinct Lip Polish, but maybe a slight cooling or minty feel. I love to apply the Beach Casual with no lip liner, no muss no fuss, and then add a bit of the NYX lip gloss over the top.

How-To Style Trousers | The Best Trousers For Her 2022

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I have talked about my jeans rut and today I want to share how I am incorporating trousers into my routine. I love that with my career I get to wear what I call “snappy casual” (any other sorority gals out there call it this?): jeans with a blazer type of vibe. However, I got caught in a trap of wearing jeans every.single.day. But now I am a trouser convert, and maybe by the end of this post, you will be too.

How-To Style Trousers For Her

My favorite trousers are from Abercrombie. I have also seen great affordable options on Amazon that may be an option if you’re looking to see if this trend is a fit for you. I also have my eye on a pair of Banana Republic trousers.

Trousers Aren’t Just For the Office

You look incredibly stylish and chic but they’re more comfortable than jeans. I have worn them with a crewneck sweatshirt and sneakers and dressed them up with heels and a blouse. They’re incredibly versatile and you instantly look like you know something about fashion. Jeans and a tee or trousers and a tee? They also come in all the basic neutrals, or in fun pops of color if that’s your vibe, AND you can find them in countless styles (wide leg, straight leg, skinny, boyfriend, cargo, and on and on).

Shop

Abercrombie Linen Pants (new favorite for spring/summer)

Tailored Wide Leg Pants (my FAVORITE trouser! So comfortable AND so chic)

Tailored 90s Relaxed Pants (I wore these for my family birthday dinner and to see Bachelor Live On Stage)

Banana Republic Wide-Leg Pants (stunning. Just, wow!)

My Go-To Lip Combo | Spring 2022 Lip Trends

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

Lip gloss was all the rage when I was a teen in the early aughts. M.A.C Lip Glass and Bonnie Bell Lip Burst, anyone? And now, for Spring 2022 lip gloss is back in a big way. Today I want to share my favorite, easy-to-wear, lip combo and my two favorite drugstore lip glosses.

Spring 2022 Lip Trends

I begin by lining my lips with a nudey pink lipliner, I like Lawless Forget the Filler Definer Liner or NYX Peekaboo. I ever so slightly overline the middle but not the edges. I then lightly fill my lips in with the liner. I put a gloss in the center of my lips. My current favorite gloss is the NYX Filler Instinct in Brunch Drunk. I also love the Maybelline Lifter Gloss in Reef.

Sí Passion Perfume by Giorgio Armani | Review

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I have talked before about my signature scent and that is still my everyday scent. I have purchased it seven (7!) times. For special occasions, particularly evenings where I want a sexier scent I wear Sí by Giorgio Armani but for my birthday I decided to try something new and I picked up Sí Passion by Giorgio Armani.

Sí Passion Perfume by Giorgio Armani

Giorgio Armani is a luxury brand and the perfume price point is high, especially because I don’t wear it on a daily basis. I typically don’t like travel perfumes because they are a rollerball which I don’t care or (anyone else feel like you NEED the spray?!) but the Giorgio Armani Sí perfumes have a spray! AND the $30 lasts me or a long time since it’s a special scent for me.

I LOVE this scent. It’s sexy to me, it has over 9K 5 STAR REVIEWS on Ulta. And, men love it. This may or may not matter to you, but there it is. And women do, too. I feel special when I wear this.

The website describes this as fruity, but I don’t feel that way. I don’t gravitate towards fruity, but I think that the floral and woodsy elements balance it out for me. Giorgio Armani’s own words are “an irresistible combination of grace, strength, and independence of spirit.”

What is your go-to daily scent? And what about your evening scent?

Revlon Volcanic Roller | Oil Absorbing Face Roller

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I’ve been oily since my tweens, and while now I am definitely more combo, I always blot my nose and forehead throughout the day. I kept putting off trying the Revlon Oil-Absorbing Volcanic Face Roller because I honestly usually just grab my power brush and stipple it on my nose and forehead when I get shiny during the day and when I’m on the go I use a tissue or my travel brush (and sometimes when I need a real touch-up I’ll use some pressed powder, too). Not a fancy system, but it works for me. However, I finally caved and today I want to share my thoughts.

REVLON Oil-Absorbing Volcanic Face Roller

Product Claims:

  • LIKE BLOTTING PAPERS, BUT BETTER: This face roller is made of real volcanic stone, which soaks up excess oil instantly. Use it on a clean or finished face—it won’t mess up your makeup
  • MASSAGES AND MATTIFIES FACE: Rolling the stone roller across your skin feels heavenly, like a mini facial massage.
  • EASY TO USE: Gently roll the face roller ball over your T-zone or anywhere skin is shiny.
  • LESS WASTE THAN BLOTTING PAPER: Unlike blotting papers for oily skin that are used once and thrown out, this oil-absorbing roller is reusable. To clean, twist the roller’s ring to unlock, and pull out the stone. Wash with a gentle cleanser, rinse, and air-dry before locking it back in

My Thoughts:

I love that this is less wasteful and it’s so easy to toss into your bag without any of the mess of powders. I don’t think it’s a massage, but it doesn’t feel bad either. I think anyone with oily skin, combo skin, or skin that gets too dewy in the summer needs this! It is SO GOOD!

Have you tried this? I’d love to hear about it!

Cuddl Duds Thermal | A Winter Wardrobe Staple

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

Ladies, we need to talk thermal shirts and how to wear them. They are not just for when you’re skiing or out in the elements. I am a 90’s kid through and through, and like most girls who grew up in the ’90s and aughts, I wear cami tanktops with almost everything. I now will wear shirts without them in the summer months, and I don’t layer them with t-shirts as I used to do (thanks to bras like this). But I realized in the winter I was reaching for sweaters every single day instead of my blouses and blazers, and then I heard a woman say she wore thermals underneath her workwear and my mind was blown [silly or not, it’s true!]

The Best Affordable Thermal Tops – Cuddl Duds

I have a black thermal turtleneck but really only wore it skiing until now. I recently snagged this white thermal top and it works perfectly under blazers, workwear tops, AND my beloved sweaters.

Shop

Do you have a favorite thermal? I’d love to hear what you love!
