#BostonStrong

It's Mother's Day so it's time to scream from the rooftops how proud of my mom I am. She brought me back this awesome Boston Strong t-shirt from her trip to Boston for her second marathon there. So, naturally I needed to style it and throw it on the blog. I paired this t-shirt with floral pants (H&M) and nude heels (Zara). Happy Mother's Day to my mom...a true inspiration and a marathon machine!

Rodan + Fields: Product Review


When I got the opportunity to try out Rodan + Fields products, I jumped on it! Aja Sharp, a new Rodan + Fields consultant, sent me some amazing products to try and dare I say, I'm in LOVE!

The first product I tried was the Micro-Dermabrasion Paste. It's oil-free and gently exfoliates your face. It feels like a sugar scrub and left my face baby soft. After the paste, I slathered on the Night Renewing Serum which helps skin texture with retinol. The combination of these two products together is unreal...the softest my face has felt in years!

The third product I have become hooked on is the REDEFINE Eye Clothes. These makeup removing clothes serve a duel purpose. Not only does it take off any makeup after a long day, but they also help fight the visible signs of aging (I may be 26 but it's not too early to start!). The plastic box these clothes come in is durable and great for travel!

Since I spend so much time in the sun, living in Florida, it's important that I always have quality lip products to keep my lips soft and protected. The REDEFINE Lip Renewing Serum comes in a power-packed capsule. The serum helps retain moisture and smoothes the texture in your lips.

I'm a believer and my suggestion is...give these products a go! Contact Aja Sharp by phone (812-343-7280) or by email (ajarosesharp@gmail.com) for more information or to order your products!

Saturday Strolls in Sandals

When you know you're going to be out all Saturday, you dress for a marathon like that. You need to be cute, yet comfortable. For a girl's day, I opt for sparkly sandals like these (from Target). Weaving in and out of Anthropologie isn't an easy feat so make sure you are ready to rock, ladies. 

J.Crew on J.Crew

You really can't go wrong with J.Crew...or at least that's my opinion. Are you with me?
This blinged out statement necklace is the perfect accessory to be paired with this light sweater (which is totally transitional from casual to dressy). 

All Tied Up

Black and white stripes? Give me!
I love this hair accessory from Forever 21 (only $1.80!!!) and couldn't wait to add this to my Sunday ponytail to add a little spunk. This brings a whole different meaning to top knot. 

Black Beauties

While I don't get to wear these bad boys too often, when I do, it's a fabulous time. These Zara heels are one of my favorite shoe investments. They are a crowd favorite. 

Must Be Magic

One of my favorite beauty products right now is this L'Oreal Magic BB Cream. This product comes out of the tube white and then glides on to your skin while transforming into a shade of your choice (I wear medium). It's very light and doesn't look caked on. I top this product with a little powder for daytime. 

We Wingtip Around Here

The couple that wingtips together, stays together.
No, that's a not a saying? Well, my boyfriend and I are so head over heels (wingtips) for our kicks. His are from Gilt and are a bit more traditional. Mine...not so traditional and are Sam Edelman. Hop on this trend train, readers. 

Brush It Off

I happened to notice that I was using the same brush since high school and had to do a little upgrade. This brush, from Forever 21, was about $4 and is right up my alley...black and white stripes. Add a lipstick smooch and some metallic gold writing and I'm in love. 

When Life Gives You Lemons...

I'm not the biggest fan of water. I just need a little something extra to really make me crave it. Add a little fruit or veggies for a little extra yum yum. Chop it up and toss it in, darlings. 

Decisions, Decisions

I can admit that I'm a creature of habit. So, every Sunday I take a little "me time" and give myself a little mani. That leads me to a big decision I have to make weekly...which shade of heaven to use on my nails. Pink or pink? 

Espadrille Season, Everyone!

While it's been espadrille season in Florida...well, all year round I suppose...it's espadrille season everywhere now! PTL (Praise The Lord). I've been waiting for over a year to wear these precious girls...not because the weather hasn't been perfect...but frankly, I just forgot about them. These were a great steal from Target and are surprisingly very well made. Such a versatile purchase! Target does it again.
