Happy Sunday everyone! I'm currently writing out my thoughts while jamming out to OneRepublic's new album, Oh My My. It just seems to mix well with the heavy overcast in LA this morning.  

I've been wanting to get my hands on a choker for the fall season and lucky enough I was able to receive this gem from Born Pretty Store this month. For $1.99 it's such a steal!! Plus if you use my discount code BALT10 you get $$ off your purchase. I've linked the necklace below if you wanna check it out.

Use BALT10 to get $$ off your entire purchase.

This Zara jacket has been hiding in my closet since august so I was ecstatic to be able to wear it out recently since the weather has been slowly cooling off. If you know me well enough I'm a huge fan of utility chic jackets. (this is like the 3rd pair i own haha) Anyone else agree with me that they just scream fall vibes? 

I hope everyone has a fun and safe halloween! Save me some twix bars okay? :D

Spent my Friday at the Getty Villa in Malibu! The weather was just right. Not too hot, nor too cold. I wore a casual dress and converse just to be on the comfortable side. Although, I really wanted to wear heels and a nice outfit, but with their floor setting it wouldn't have been practical. 

I received these lovely midi rings courtesy of Born Pretty Store. I've never owned a pair of rings in this style, so I gotta say that they are the cutest rings in my jewelry box!

And yes, that's my not so little sister, Jona in those pictures. She's always wanted to be featured on my blog so here she is now- hehe! She's off to join the Airforce this year and I couldn't be more proud to have her as my little booger.  

While everyone enjoys their sunday, I'll be wishing I was a Grecian goddess perusing the halls of the Outer Peristyle. I mean, a girl can dream right?

Paired this easy outfit with this brandy melville coachella cutoff & a burgundy gilly bralette. Cutoffs are the way to go this season since the temperatures seem to climb a bit on the warmer side. 

Can't wait to enjoy this weekend.

SPRING ITEMS + EVERYDAY MAKEUP

 

Happy Sunday! 

 

I come bearing great news. Last week I received my first sponsor from bornprettystore.com It's a jewelry and accessory site which has a bunch of cute stuff! They gave me a 10 % discount to share with you all; plus it's free shipping. The code is on my page so just click on the side banner and you'll be redirected to their site.

So as promised, here are my favorite items for spring + my everyday makeup. Check 'em out!

Forever21 & Essie Nail Polishes 

I love the Spring color scheme because it's all about vibrant hues and soft pastels. Nails can make a bold statement with any outfit so here are 4 colors I absolutely adore. First off is F21's teal shade which I had to get because my nail polish collection lacks this specific color. I've been obsessing over neutral colors so this nude nail polish was #1 on my to buy list. Essie has been one of my favorite brands because they provide flawless coverage and outstanding durability with all their shades. 'Borrowed & Blue' gives you a precious light blue while 'Tart Deco' gives you an artistic burst of coral. 

Brandy Melville Hair Tie Bows

I picked these up from the Brandy Melville Warehouse sale a few weeks back. They were free so i took huge chunks of each print. These hair ties can give any braided hair style or simple ponytail a flirty and sweet look. 

Zerouv Sunglasses

I discovered this website from one of my favorite fashion bloggers last year. Zerouv offers a wide variety of sunnies styled for men and women who like to give their outfits a sharp finishing touch. They offer FREE SHIPPING and prices are as low as $9.99! I purchased these babies since I'm into round and oversized lenses. Buy a pair and I guarantee you won't regret it!

My Everyday Makeup

No matter what season it is, my makeup routine doesn't change. I like to go for the natural look so nothing too over the top. 

I start off with my toofaced primed & poreless face primer. It goes on seamlessly and it keeps my makeup intact. I prefer BB cream over foundation because it's an all-in-one cosmetic that acts as a moisturizer, primer, and light foundation. The one I use is Dior's BB creme to cover up my blemishes and discolored spots, creating an even skin tone. This BB creme goes on super light so it doesn't feel like you have anything on your face! 

Out of all the mascaras I tried out there, Clinique is the only one that delivers the right amount of volume and length I've always desired. Their high impact extreme volume mascara has never failed me. 

Bobbi Brown's long-wear gel eyeliner in black ink is my go to eyeliner. I use their ultra fine eye liner brush with it so it goes on precisely and smoothly. It dries quickly and has a water-resistant finish.

The Toofaced chocolate soleil bronzer is my favorite beauty product I own. Not only does this bronzer smell like chocolate but it executes a matte finish which I prefer over other shimmery bronzers. 

I can never leave the house without my rosebud salve. This must-have lip balm is not only used to moisturize my lips but also to relieve dry skin. This was my best friend when I was surviving the polar vortex in New York. 

To finish it off, Make up Forever's lipstick in Rouge Artist Natural gives my lips the perfect pinkish brown tint. It keeps my lips moisturized and soft without drying them out. Definitely a keeper.

Happy Monday!

I love how overalls have been making their way back to the fashion trend. Worn in the 60s and 70s, they gave anyone who wore them a youth like and playful look.

So i found these overalls in my sister's closet of unwanted clothes. I'm happy to say they fit me- I guess I haven't grown much these past years. I paired them with my taupe chunky boots to give me some height.

These ladybugs just add the perfect finishing touch since Spring starts on Thursday! Who's ready to bust out their pastel colored & floral printed clothes? I know I am.  And for the guys, shorts and button up shirts? 

I'm ready to hit the beach and get my tan on.

Ripped jeans are definitely a favorite of mine. I owe a bunch from skinnies to boyfriends. There's just something about them that makes any outfit edgy and tough. 

I styled my pair with a flowy cropped tank and black sophisticated heels to give it a contrast between a sexy yet relaxed feel. Also, I was able to polish this outfit with a black blazer to match my cute shoes.

I forgot to mention that my sunnies are from zerouv. I'm wearing their oversized round glasses in black. Their site has a ton of retro and chic sunglasses at affordable prices. Plus, it's free shipping! You can view their styles here
