Redlands Art Walk

November 6, 2015

I love my small town. Have I mentioned that?
The sense of community is definitely a huge plus, and they put on some of the most fun events to get everyone outside and giving back. Most recently was the semiannual Redlands Art walk, welcoming hundreds of local artists and vendors to sell their goods. As is the case with most events, they also offered beer from several of the local breweries and some tasty small bites as well.
I thought this would be the perfect time to pair up my new branch-print skirt from Layered by Cake with a button-down, cage sandals and a vintage leather-accented belt.

Cali Cool Date Night

September 9, 2015

It’s difficult sometimes to make jeans and heels seem fresh for a date, but I say it’s all in the details. These D’orsay pumps have this sexy little curvature to them that I love. Cuffing the jeans (a style tip I picked up from Shannon at Layered by Cake Boutique) allows more skin to peek out to highlight the footwear (also helpful in this sweltering heat, they act as vents when you’re wearing skinny jeans haha!) Another fun detail from this look is the one-shouldered top from the quarterly blouse subscription service, Elizabeth & Clarke. It’s a flirty element that doesn’t leave you feeling too bare. I topped it all off with a very summery and fun scenic clutch that holds just the essentials.. cell phone, compact mirror, lipstick, gum, eyeliner, perfume vial, and credit cards/ID.

Sachin + Babi Geisha Dress

August 19, 2015

I had been considering renting this Sachin + Babi dress from Rent the Runway for months, and finally just decided to take the leap! It’s a very… interesting design and I can’t say it’s the most flattering for someone with the curviness that I have. That being said, it definitely turns heads, and the fabric feels so luxurious. I probably wouldn’t rent it again but it was fun to twirl around in for the afternoon 🙂

Collective Beauty Haul: Birchbox, Ulta, Target

July 20, 2015

I’ve done quite a bit of stocking up in the beauty department these past few weeks, and I must say, I should be set for a while! From Birchbox, I got this lovely collection of summery items, along with some new scents. From Ulta, I restocked my favorite drugstore foundation in it’s new formula, and some new tinted moisturizer from Bare Minerals a brush to apply them all with. Target held for me mostly basics – sunscreen, hand and body wash, and my favorite shave cream. I grabbed a deep metallic gunmetal cream shadow at The Cosmetics Company Store. And surprisingly enough, when I was at Nordstrom rack, I came across this set of 3D liquid shadows from LORAC that I’ve been using almost every day.

From Birchbox, the Lovely Day Set. I waited until I had a 20% off coupon to use, to take off a bit of the sting that comes with the $62 price tag.

From Target, I grabbed some essentials..

EOS Shave Cream

Maybelline Rocket Volum Mascara

In LOVE with these LORAC 3D Liquid Lustre eyeshadows I picked up at Nordstrom Rack. They were only $12 and I would have paid that for each one! So good.
