What I Wore

Floral Maxi: Target
Scarf: Forever 21 (Similar)
Necklace: Brighton
Sandals: Candie's for Kohl's
As I added the final touch to my outfit (a shimmering mint scarf which I used as a shawl on that particular day) my husband said, "You're like a Princess.". He makes me smile! This maxi dress definitely made me feel extra special. I love the floral print, soft Spring-like colors and the side slits. It's not your average maxi dress and I think that's what drew me to it. I'm only 5'3" so normally maxis are too long on me, which makes finding them a bit difficult. I own only two of them but I hope to find at least one more maxi for the Summer! How about you? Are you a fan of maxi dresses? If so, do you have any trouble with them being too long or short?

I'm a little late on the bandwagon in trying these out and I haven't a reason why! As you know, I love Revlon's lip butters (Cotton Candy is my favorite). I was expecting to love one more than the other in trying out my first Maybelline Color Whisper (which is described as a "weightless gel" not a lip butter) but I ended up loving them both equally! The packaging, consistency (which is practically identical), and pigments from both brands are fabulous!










I saw the shade Coral Ambition in a video on Youtube and knew I had to have it. I have a previous coral lipstick from the Maybelline Vivids called Peachy Scene that I really like but this shade is more on the lighter shade of coral with almost a peachy-ness about it. It's so lovely on. As always, I don't feel the photos do it justice and you can barely see the color on my lips, but I promise you can totally see it in person! Below you'll find photos of the vivid lipstick (left) compared to the color whisper (right) to get a better idea of what the color is like.




Have you tried any of the Maybelline Color Whispers? I'd love to know what you think! If not, what other lip products do you like that have a similar consistency?

Over the last few days it has been around 90 degrees. Feeling sweat drip down your back (or anywhere really) due to the weather is one of the worst things. It reminded me that Summer is not much more than a month away and I began thinking of some of my basic essentials that I need to get through the coming months. Oh, and might I add that a weekly frozen yogurt trip really helps too?


VS PRO Airbrush FX Perfecting Primer SPF 20, Rainbow Sandals from Nordstrom, Candie's Lace Chambray Sleeveless Dress, AE Aviator Sunglasses, Water bottle
I wear mostly dresses and skirts during the Summer. They're easy to wear and they help make me feel as cool as I can possibly be. You'll find me in sandals pretty much throughout the year for comfort purposes but they're obviously the best option for this season. Owning a primer or foundation that has SPF is always a good idea but if you don't use a product that contains it, I'd highly recommend you begin to. Protecting your skin should be one of your top priorities in the Summer. Speaking of, while shopping for a new pair of sunglasses you should choose a pair that have UV protection. Your eyes are just as important! A random little fact about me: The Sun makes me sneeze. Literally. So I always have my sunnies with me! I also like to have a water bottle with me whenever I go out. Make sure to keep hydrated, especially if you're out in the sun all day!

What are some of your Summer essentials?

Back in January I tried Revlon's Color Stay nail polish for the first time and loved it! I did a post about it and was so impressed I even made it part of a giveaway. I decided to try another shade, this time a dark purple. I didn't realize it would look almost black under certain lights but I'm still really happy with it and glad to know it's going to stay on my nails for a good seven days. What do you think? I'll make a mental note to pick out a lighter color next time. I saw a couple that caught my eye, so stay tuned!

Have a great weekend!
