this & that
1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10
Happy Friday and TAX FREE weekend to my fellow Texans! I want to welcome you to my new series THIS & THAT. T&T will be a Friday post that may or may not happen every Friday, but you will see it here on a regular basis. I like the idea of this post because I always find a random group of things that I want to share but never know how to present it. Well here ya go! I hope you enjoy my random collection of great finds & good deals.
Some honorable mentions would include these amazing Texas Rocks Glasses. I think these are the bee's knees and will definitely be adding these to my bar cart asap. If you follow my pinterest, you have seen me pinning this New York Times Tee. How cute is that?! Im picturing it with a leather pencil skirt and these shoes? Yes, please. Skincare is also a must and I am a long time fan of
Beauty Talk | Mascara Love
GET THE LOOK
For many gals, mascara is the one beauty product they would never leave the house without wearing. I know I am not the only one! Some of us weren't blessed with bat-worthy lashes and mascara is the one tool to help give us that extra 'oomph'! With just a few strokes, it can transform the eyes, making them look bright and open. However, not all of us want the same thing for our lashes. Some want volume, others length, and many want both. Such a quest for all those needs can be both tiring and expensive. Luckily, I have accumulated quite the stash thanks to my friends at Nordstrom and I am ready to share my favorites with you. Your lashes will thank you. Enjoy!! ...
The New Look
Happy Friday! I am so excited to share my new look with all of you! It has been in the process for a few months but in between redoing our apartment and vacations, it was just pushed to the back burner. However, after many hours and many redo's...we finally got it down! I started by switching over to Wordpress, something my husband told me to do from the getgo but I was so insistent on Blogger. Nothing wrong with Blogger at all, but I am very happy with WP. I am still learning the ropes but I am liking the "extras" and custom looks Wordpress can offer. As far as the look, I wanted something clean and simple. Close to my old look, but more functional. I am so SO happy with the outcome. I hope you all can navigate easier and find what you are looking for! Also, I decided to jump on the Facebook (page) bandwagon so please go like my page for TTD updates & posts. Thank you all for your support! ...
Black & White
1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10/11/12
I have always been a fan of black & white. My wardrobe and home would agree. I like black and white because it is such a neutral canvas to add pops of color and bold patterns. I am LOVING this calf skin foldover. If you follow me on instagram, you know I'm a repeat offender with my CV leopard clutch, so it's only a matter of time before this guy comes home with me. I like it because you can flip the flap to make all cow print or how it's shown here. LOVE. These heels aren't bad either, $27 bucks for some Zara inspired shoes? Yes, please. Here's to a great week! PS- today is the LAST day to enter the Ara Nicole Boutique contest. I will be choosing TWO winners tonight! Good luck ...
Beauty Talk | On the Go
If there's one thing I love it's makeup, (those who know me are thinking DUH) but what really gets me is what it's carried in. This Boulevard Bag is the cutest. I received it as a bridesmaids gift and we all went crazy over the "hello gorgeous" and gold monogram. It hold's the perfect amount of "on the go" essentials. Even for someone like me who has a lot of "essentials". ...
Nordstrom Beauty Bash & Anniversary Sale
UPDATE: The 2016 sale has ended but be sure to checkout the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2017 guide.
Thank you to everyone who was able to make it to the Galleria on Saturday for the Nordstrom Beauty Bash. I was thrilled to be a part of their day and had a blast getting to meet everyone. The event was pretty fantastic! Even the DJ was gettin' busy mixing fun jams. The goodie bags, complimentary makeovers and facials was the cherry on top. The Nordstrom at Galleria Dallas has such a wonderful team and they made me feel right at home. Their expertise made it easy for customers to shop and get exactly what they needed for their skin. If you live in the DFW metroplex, I highly recommend visiting Nordstrom in the Galleria Dallas. Tish Mozeke, a beauty stylist for Nordstrom, will help you find the perfect makeup and skincare for your beauty regimen. For a complete list of all the Beauty Exclusives, check out this page. The sale ends August 4th. I can't wait to share with you some of the goodies I picked up! Thank you so much,
Beauty Talk | Wedding Proof
Packing is hard for me. I am very indecisive and it takes me forever to figure out what I want to bring, especially when it comes to products. Obviously I can't take everything. Although, if you've traveled with me, you may think I do. I realized it was time to bring out the big guns. I had to choose items that were small in size and could withstand late nights, long days and lots o' celebrating. This was an easy choice considering I have been a loyal fan of all of these goodies for a while. Some were even used for my wedding and they definitely did they trick. Here's my must haves for products that will last all day and through the night. Enjoy!!
CHANEL ROUGE ALLURE in Passion : Great lipstick that is moisturizing yet lasts hours. It's almost like a stain. This will definitely be my go to lip color for the weekend.
WELLA Stay Firm Hairspray: Can you say humidity resistent? This baby is amazing. I use just a little bit over long curls to give a subtle hold. This can definitely be a firm hold, so a little goes a long way. Also, have UV protectors to protect color from fading. Nice!
STYLE ME MONDAY
.01 /.02 /.03 /.04 /.05 /.06 /.07 /.08Happy Monday! How fun is that clutch and those arrow head earrings? Both on my list of wants. I hope you all had a great weekend. This past weekend was pretty successful for me and my husband. We had our very first garage sale with two very good friends. I was thrilled because we sold literally everything. All of our furniture... old clothes...knick knacks and in the process made a little cash money. It was so stinking exhausting, but so fun because we had great company! Now that we have no furniture, we have literally spent hours in IKEA and random furniture stores just lounging and testing out furniture. I'm starting to feel ...
Beauty Talk | Hair Care
This post takes me back to the good ole days of working at the beauty shop. In highschool, college, and up until last summer I worked at a local Beauty Store/Boutique. I LOVED it. I was pretty sure I found my other dream job! Ha! I loved researching products, attending trainings, and just helping people find good hair and skin care. Since I've been around "professional" products for the last 10 years, I have developed into somewhat of a product snob. Bad I know, but I guess you can say I have been brainwashed. My justification is that I only wash my hair three times a week...so $20 a bottle doesn't seem as bad. My Husband would disagree.
Loreal is a company that I have used for years. They pretty much own the product industry. I have tried their drugstore products all the way to their high end Kerestase. While I love Kerestase, it can be so expensive! I have found a product that is in the middle and works as well as Kerestase. The Serie Collection is amazing. I bought this little duo at my recent hair appointment and I have been thrilled with it. I chose the Intense Repair Shampoo and the Masque for my conditioner. This is perfect for the gal that colors, blowdrys, flat irons, curls, etc. Almost all of us ...
