Hello everyone! Summer is just around the corner, this Sunday to be exact, and where I live is already EXTREMELY hot! It’s been in the high 90’s this week and next week is going to be scorching too! With heat comes sweat, dehydration, and sunburn so I want to share with you all my essential beauty products for summer that will keep you looking and feeling great! XOXO Catherine 1. St. Ives Apricot Face Scrubs I love using these scrubs…
I really LOVE matching tops and bottoms; whether it be shorts, a skirt, or pants. I bought this set from Forever21 last year and just recently wore it; I’m bad about that! I really love the structure of this skirt and the top is ideal because it has built-in padding. I kept this look pretty simple only wearing some flower stud earrings for jewelry. This outfit is great for summer and warm weather. This look says flirty, retro, and fun! XO Catherine…
Hello Fashionistas! I probably haven’t worn overalls since I was about 8 years old but I saw these in H&M and thought why not. Overalls don’t have to be childish, baggy or ugly. Overalls have made a comeback and celebrities such as Emma Watson, Jessica Alba, and Alessandro Ambrosio have been spotted in them! I paired my overalls with a white v-neck t-shirt, white flat sandals from Forever21, white stud earrings, a Michael Kors watch, a Chanel ring, a crochet bow head band, and my Louis…
The Cannes Film Festival happens every year and this year it’s from May 13th to May 24th. This film festival previews films of all genres including documentaries. Founded in 1946, It’s held in Cannes, France and is one of the most popular film festivals in the world. Even though it’s not over I thought I would go ahead and give my picks for best and worst dressed. These choices reflect my personal style and taste in fashion. Feel free to comment…
The Met Gala, also known as the Met Ball, was Monday May 4th. If you’re unfamiliar with the Met Gala, it is an annual fundraising gala for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in NYC. This year’s theme was Chinese fashion because their spring 2015 Costume Institute exhibit is called “China: Through the Looking Glass.” There were some great looks that did a good job utilizing this year’s theme while some other looks were just…bad. My choices…
Hello Fashionistas! A couple of trends that I’m really liking for the spring and summer are skorts and chunky heels! I probably haven’t worn a skort since 2006 and pretty much since then they have gone out of style but…they’re back! Skorts have come back in a big way and they are looking very chic and modern! The great thing about skorts is you can dress them up since they’re disguised as a skirt but they also allow you to have the same freedom…
Hey everyone! I’ve decided to start doing monthly posts on my purchases. I’m always buying something whether it’s clothes, shoes, jewelry, or purses (even though I’m trying to reduce my spending) and I thought it would be a good idea to share! Maybe you guys can get some ideas or see things you might like to add with your wardrobe! I will also probably do some posts later on earing some of these. Click on underlined titles to view…
Now’s the time to try that orange or magenta lip color that you’ve been shying away from! When I think about spring and summer lip colors, I think bright, bold, and fun! I’m going to list some of my favorite stains, glosses, and a lipstick as well as some swatches and a few photos of me wearing them. Hopefully you see one that you want to try! XO Catherine 1. Josie Maran Argan High Gloss Lip Quench in “Pink Honey” (part of…
A trend that is pretty popular for this spring is culottes. Before this year I didn’t even know what culottes were but they’ve been around for a while and were popular in the 1960s! The best way to describe them is to say that they are elongated shorts that flow like a skirt; they’re really comfortable too! I purchased these at Marshall’s about 2 weeks ago; they have great deals on spring trends. I decided to wear wedge heels with this look because culottes…
Hello everyone! It’s Monday and it’s a little cold today here in Charlotte but nonetheless Spring is here and I wanted to share this look with you guys. When you think of patches on jeans it seems a little outdated but it can actually look stylish; it really depends on the fit of the jeans and what you pair them with. I think this look is great for spring, perfect for a day when it’s warm but not too hot. I’m…
