Friday Favorites

Friday Favorites #44

Happy Friday friends and happy JUNE! This week went so fast and it was so busy! We kicked off my birthday on Monday with Memorial Day which was so fun! Then we had a few family events this week, so I was ready for my weekend! 

Surprise birthday flowers still going strong!

Today’s Friday favorites are so fun for the start of summer as I link up with Erika and Andrea!

J.Crew Haul– I did some retail therapy for some new work clothes last week and was so happy with some recent J. Crew purchases. I got some great blazers, pants, tops and dresses. It was such a successful day at the outlets. I can’t wait to share some of my outfits soon in a few weeks, but here’s a sneak peek. I can’t wait to wear these fun pants and a blazer this summer. Very professional but also fun for summer!

New Kylie Cosmetics Lip Color– I always enjoy trying some new makeup, but I do like to stick with what I know and love. I have really enjoyed Kylie Cosmetics for the lip kits, colors, and how long lasting they are. I have been on the hunt for a bright, pink and finally found it. This color is perfect for summer and can be great for work or play. I have ordered Kyle Cosmetics online, but now that you can get products at Ulta Beauty, it makes it so much easier to pick out colors and makeup options. This will be a summer favorite for sure!

Summer Planting– Over Memorial Day weekend, I made my way to the greenhouse for some summer flowers! I love the smell, colors and creativity that comes with a greenhouse. I picked out some flowers to help my mom with some of our pots. Although it’s a lot of hard work, the end result of a summer full of flowers is worth it. I also picked out some items for another summer project this summer. Stay tuned!

Love Again– Ahead of my birthday, my mom and I went to see Love Again in the theaters. We went to a matinee and were the only ones there. So fun! The movie stars Sam Heughan (hello Outlander fans) and Priyanka Chopra Jonas. The movie is all about two people getting connected and finding Love Again. There’s a few unexpected twists in the movie and some surprise cameos. One of my favorite parts was all the Celin Dion songs (she stars in it too!) Definitely a new favorite, rom com!

Ted Lasso finale-This past week was the season 3 finale on Ted Lasso and wow, what a finale, dare I say series finale! My boyfriend and I started binge-watching the show at the beginning of the year and watched it right up to the start of season 3 and we have been watching the new episode every week. This season had some up and down episodes, but overall, I thought the last few episodes were really strong. This has been such a fun show to watch. If you watched the last episode, what did you think?! This article breaks down what happened. Warning: Spoilers!

There you have it! A fun roundup of shows, products and movies as we kick off June! Tell me what things do you have planned for the first month of summer? Let me know in the comments below!!

Happy First Weekend of JUNE!

Look of the Day #45

LOTD

Happy (Holy) Thursday!

I am home for a long weekend for Easter Break. Not only is it a time to celebrate Jesus’ Resurrection, but It’s great to be home for one last long weekend to refuel for the end of the semester.

Last weekend, I had a semi-formal dance at school, it was an exciting time to dress up and have a good night with friends. I am sharing what I wore along with the accessories. Unfortunately, I got this dress a few years ago, so it’s not sold anymore but hopefully, this inspires you to try a new bold look the next time you are shopping.

Throughout high school, I attended all my homecomings, proms, and semi-formals. I loved getting dressed up for a night with friends to make memories. However, it can add up with everything you need, and most of the time you only wear the dress once and it goes up in your closet. Lucky for me, for every formal or semi-formal occasion I have had in college, I was able to rewear something I wore in high school. This saved me money from buying new dresses, and it allowed me to wear the dresses I wore in high school again. Thankfully, dresses I wore in high school still fit and are in style.

FRI-YAY night out

Now, let’s get down to the details of this dress. I got this dress from Francesca’s Boutique a few years ago on sale! I was drawn to it’s bright color and how fun it looked. The ruffles made the dress so unique. At the time in high school and last semester, I was rewatching Gossip Girl (definitely a good show to binge watch!) and I couldn’t help but notice the similarities between my dress and the iconic dress Blair Waldorf wore in Paris in season 4.

The kinda look similar, right!?

I paired this bright red dress with a pair of red heels I got from DSW this past year. I wore them with a black dress for Christmas, and the red from my dress matched the red shoes so I had to pair them together. I dressed up this look with some fake diamond studs to add some bling to the outfit along with a red sparkle nail polish, it is called Pretty Pout from Chrome Girl Nails.

I used the KoKo Kollection face palette from Kylie Cosmetics along with the Burgundy Eye Shadow palette for my makeup.

When I first saw this dress a few years ago, I wasn’t sure I would like the dress since it was very bright and bold, but now it is one of my favorite dresses. Don’t be afraid to wear something that is bold. You may end up loving it.

If you celebrate Easter, I hope you all have a wonderful Easter with your family, if you don’t have a  great weekend!

Product Review: Kylie Cosmetics

If you follow me on Instagram, you probably saw I ordered and received my order from Kylie Cosmetics last Friday. Today, I’m gonna do a product review and share my favorites from her collection. Starting off, this is not a sponsored post or advertisement. I’m just sharing my own personal thoughts.

I ordered my first lip kit from Kylie Cosmetics last August, I did a lot of research on the colors and watched a lot of Kylie’s snapchat’s as she modeled the colors  and decided to go with KoKo K. I got my package in less than a week. I loved the packaging and most importantly, I loved the lip kit. With my order, I got a lip liner, and matte lip stick. I went with a pink-nude. It works perfect for any outfit. I do recommend putting on a Chapstick before you put on the matte lip stick, so your lips dont get dry. It is long lasting (even through eating and drinking…it stayed on for the whole night).

My first package from last August. Love the post card.

Here I am wearing KoKo K. I love the pink-nude. Its long lasting and can be worn with almost anything

Last week, there was a sale for Kylie Cosmetics, buy one get one free. I definitely wanted to take advantage of this opportunity. I got the Burgundy Eye Shadow Palette and got a FREE lip gloss of Posie K. Another thing I appreciated was free shipping for purchases over $40!! Once again, my orders came in less than a week with personalized packaging. I love the details that come along with ordering from online shopping. I love the gloss, the berry color adds a pop of color to any outfit and once again its long lasting. It also adds a shine to your lips and the shine stays there after its on for a few hours.

I love the mixture  of mattes and shimmers that come in the eye shadow palette.  There are a variety of color tones that can match anyone’s skin. Overall, I was very pleased with my second order and I will be ordering again.

My most recent order. I love the little note that came with it.

The Burgundy Eye Shadow Palette.

These are the only things I have purchased from Kylie Jenner’s makeup company. I obviously wear a lot of other makeup (I get most of mine from Ulta Beauty) or dare I say drug stores?! Haha!! But, it is nice to try something nice and splurge a bit on makeup. Overall, I give Kylie Cosmetics a 10/10 from me! Go ahead and check out their website, they are constantly restocking and having great deals.
