Fashion Find of the Day - On Sale!

So, it's technically spring outside but today I had a coat on and my nose was running so it's safe to say we aren't in the clear yet, Chicago...With that in mind, it is still time to be transitioning into spring trends and soon - summer!!I find this dress, from ASOS, is the perfect transition piece. Plus, it's on sale for $35! Wear it with a leather jacket to give it a little edge, a white blazer, a denim jacket for daytime or a white long sleeve under the dress for a work day. 

Current Faves

We buy something new to give it a whirl. We instantly love it or hate it and have immediate buyer's remorse. Here are a few products I've tried over the last few months and I've decided are keepers!
Starting from top left, this is a mauve lip liner (pictured is from Urban Decay but my favorite is from The Body Shop - color: Clover). I use this shade to line my lips before applying my nude lipstick or nude lipgloss. It makes ALL the difference.
Next up, this Essie polish (in my top 3 shades of polish). This color, Fifth Avenue was first purchased for me by my now fiance and I recently had to restock because I use so often (winter AND summer). It's the ultimate red...not too blue...not too orange.
Next, my favorite shade of blue for summertime. This royal blue (by Sinful Colors --$2 at drugstores) looks so amazing on tan skin and is vibrant!
Erase Paste by Benefit is just my type of concealer. It's thick enough to hide my zombie-like dark circles but doesn't look cakey. Plus, a little bit goes a long way with this product so restocking is at a minimum.
This Revlon Colorburst Lip Stain stick was a surprisingly great product. I, for some reason, wasn't loving the idea but am so impressed. It has a refreshing mint flavor and the thick pencil helps with precision. Stays on all day - perfect for summer!
This Revlon Colorstay eyeshadow palette is a product perfect for any skin tone and all year round. I use the top two on a daily basis and add in the bottom two for evening! It's neutral enough to be paired with any lipstick shade!

Planning a Getaway?

Spring is here and it's finally getting warm enough for perhaps a....weekend getaway? I'd like to think so. I always stress about what to wear on a weekend trip so if you're like me, maybe give the above outfit a go (or your version of it). This particular outfit was made to stay on the low end of a budget. 

These boyfriend jeans are $17...yes, $17 on www.sheinside.com - woo! The backpack (since I've been seeing them everywhere) is from Target and totally affordable...not to mention - SUPER practical. These leopard print flats are basically a neutral..AMIRIGHT? Plus, they are under $25. This top, by Enza Costa, could be replicated by basically any store. This would be the perfect $10 tee from H&M in my experience. 

Voila - cute, casual and comfortable! Road trip, here you come!
