Last Chance White...Done Right

If you follow the "no white after Labor Day" rule, time is ticking for you, honey. Get out those fresh white pants and start planning your outfit for the weekend before the whites get placed in the closet, not to see light for many moons. I'm loving a little color blocking with the white pants for a fun weekend look. This hot pink top (from Tibi) plays nicely with the Saako Design teal necklace and yellow Yves Saint Laurent heels. Keep the rest of the accessories simple with jewelry like these Tory Burch earrings and H&M stacked rings. It's the summer, so keep the makeup light with Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream and a pink summerly gloss stick. 

Toodles YSL, Hellooo NYX

I am very partial to my YSL red lipstick. I like the richness, how smoothly it goes on and how dang cute the gold case it (which totally doubles as a mirror in a pinch). However, just because I'm happily married to the YSL lipstick, doesn't mean I'm not constantly looking for say...a replacement. I may have found one. While browsing Ulta for gifts for others, I came across the perfect gift for myself. This NYX lip cream (applied like a gloss, looks and stays like a lipstick) is the ultimate and is under $5. This particular shade, Spicy (duh), is so sassy. Idiot-proof red lips for $25 less...genius.
