Dress: Nordstrom // Shoes: Dolce Vita // Earrings: BaubleBar // Sunnies: Karen Walker // Lips: Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick in Dolce // Nails: Chanel in Ballerina
This weekend it was a balmy 80 degrees in Dallas, so naturally I pulled this floral wrap dress out from my spring stash for a patio brunch. I was more than ready to give my sweaters a break and feel the sunshine on my skin. Nordstrom has a ton of gorgeous floral dresses in stock, but of course I went for the black option. This dress fits true to size (wearing a small) fitting tighter through the chest and ribs, and lose through the waist, hips, and sleeves. I would caution against wearing this dress on a windy day as it blows up very easily and no one wants that! I paired the floral wrap dress with these adorable Dolce Vita laser cut mules, and black BaubleBar tassel earrings. I was nervous that these mules would give me blisters, but they are way more comfortable than I expected. The leather is soft, so it does not rub against my toes when I walk. They also have extra padding on the heel and ball of the foot. These BaubleBar tassel earrings come in 13 different colors and are only $36. They do pull on my ears a little, but I am still able to wear them all day without noticing the weight too much. If your ears are more sensitive to weight, there is a smaller version of these tassel earrings that is much lighter but still just as fun. To match the pink floral pattern in the dress, I am wearing my favorite Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick in Dolce, and Chanel nail polish in Ballerina. I have linked everything you need to get this spring look below, and hopefully we continue having more 80 degree weekends! xoxo

Valentine’s Day is only a week away! While my date night with Alex will consist of cooking and watching movies in leggings and a sweatshirt (a much needed night in), I am sharing my two favorite Valentine’s outfits for any date. My first Valentine’s outfit is more casual and is perfect for dinner, a movie or to wear to the office. I found this knit sweater last year at H&M, and it is back in stock for under $20. It goes perfectly with dark denim for winter and white/light denim for chilly spring days. I added my favorite red heels (similar) and a classic red lip to make this light pink sweater a little more festive. After years of struggling with red lipstick (especially in dance competitions) I have finally mastered a non-messy red lip that will last all day. I start by lining my lips with Chanel Lip Definer #57, the color is very versatile and I love the thin brush at the end of the pencil. After lining my lips I fill in with Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick in Sarafine and use the brush on the end of the Chanel lip pencil to evenly spread the color, I like this color because it has blue undertones and will make your teeth look whiter. This liquid lipstick is great because it dries matte and will last for hours, even through meals. However, I recommend removing and reapplying the lipstick (with chapstick) after about 4-5 hours, because it will start to dry out your lips.

My second Valentine’s outfit is little dressier, for a nice dinner or night out. This light pink flounce dress is only $60 and can easily be dressed up or down depending on your accessories. This fabric of the dress has a great weight and it has pockets (major win), I only wish it came in more colors, specifically black. The dress fits very loose, so I am wearing an XS because it fit best in the arms. I kept this look simple by just adding red heels and a stack of gold bracelets, but it can also be dressed up with a statement necklace, structured jacket, or strappy heels. If you have a more casual evening planned, but still want to wear a dress, you can dress this look down with a denim jacket, wedges or mules, and minimal jewelry. Both of these looks are also great for a Galentine’s party or a festive Valentines look for the office. I have linked everything you need to recreate these Valentine’s outfits below! xoxo

Happy National Lashes Day! Celebrate your lovely lashes and shop my favorite mascara for all occasions. xoxo
Make Up For Ever Smoky Extravagant Mascara: adds volume, length and curl. Cone shaped brush separates lashes while adding volume. This mascara is perfect for the final touch on a smoky eye look.
Benefit Cosmetics They’re Real! Mascara: curls, volumizes, lifts and separates lashes. Staggered bristles grab close to the root to add extra length. This is my daily go-to mascara for long and natural looking lashes.
Le Volume De Chanel Mascara: adds rich color and extreme length. The mixture of long and short bristles create extra length and an eye opening effect. This mascara is great to active the look of false lashes, especially when used with Chanel Beautè Des Cils Nourishing Mascara Base.
