Boyfriend Jeans

I am so happy that the weather is getting warmer. Spring and Fall are my two favorite seasons, neither too hot nor cold, just perfect! This Spring I am pulling out my boyfriend jeans for when the weather is not too hot for shorts, but not too cold either.

I've put together 4 outfits to show how versatile boyfriend jeans can be.



The first pairing is very casual. The plain white button up is very basic and the vest is a neutral color which tones down the look. The white button up can make the whole outfit look very baggy, which is where the vest comes in. It gives the body an hourglass shape, allowing the white button up to be loose fitted, yet still look nice.

The second pairing is girly casual. The bright coral button up is a great pop of color. It adds liveliness to the outfit and takes the boyfriend jeans away from the really boy-ish look, making it more girly.

The third pairing is dressier than the other two. The black vest along with the black point heels are dressy pieces. Because the jeans are so casual, these two combination gives off a chic and edgy look. This is one of my favorite looks out of the three. I love the edge and rock feel when put together.

Well, I hope you guys enjoyed my pairings! If you don't want to dress up and want to keep everything very simple, just pair your boyfriend jeans with a tee and tennis shoes and you're all set to go. Have an awesome week!

Spring Love Photo Session

The first thing that came to mind when I thought of spring was Stevie B's song, "Spring Love." Super old school music! Brings back a lot of memory. I was probably only 10 when I first heard it. Haha.. Anyways, I decided to call this photo session Spring Love after the song. I hope you guys enjoy my pictures and please don't use them without my granted permission. Thank you!

Color Blocking Nails

Color blocking is such a pretty trend as the warmer weather rolls in. It is so colorful, giving off such a cheerful feeling. I've seen a lot of color block outfits and shoes, so I decided why not color block nails? I think this is a great way to combine colors in a way that isn't too out there. I hope you guys enjoy my tutorial. You can switch the colors around if you'd like. There is really no wrong way of color blocking. Have fun!

Mac Moisturizer Review



For such a long time I have been trying to find a good moisturizer that will help with my combination/oily/acne prone skin and I have to say, I think I have finally found it! For the past month, I have been using the Mac Mineralize Charged Water Moisture Gel and it has been helping my skin combat oil and dryness which a lot of other moisturizers I have used before has yet to do so. Here is my review of the Mac Mineralize Charged Water Moisture Gel.



Pros:

This moisturizer has helped me tremendously in combating oil. During the mornings, my skin is usually more dry, then towards the end of the day, my face becomes really oily, especially in the t-zone so I would normally have to blot a few times a day, but since using this product, I only have to blot 1-2 times a day. A lot of this has to do with the fact that this moisturizer is a gel consistency so it is really lightweight therefore, it doesn't leave the skin feeling greasy at all like traditional moisturizers.


Cons:

Before purchasing this product, one of the problems I had was the packaging. Because it comes in a tub rather than a container with a pump, I was a little hesitant due to sanitary reasons. Having to use a spatula or your finger to get the product out can lead to bacteria getting in, but I am glad it didn't hold me back from purchasing because putting the packaging aside, this is a really good product. Another thing about this moisturizer that I forgot to mention is that it does not contain any SPF so if you're going to be outside for a long amount of time, I would recommend wearing sunscreen over the moisturizer or maybe perhaps going with another moisturizer that contains SPF. Lastly, this moisturizer is one the most expensive moisturizers I have ever bought, retailing at $37.00. That is a lot of money, but for the amount of product that it comes with and for the results it performs, it was well worth my money and I would definitely be repurchasing whenever I run out, which will be a few months from now.

High-Low Skirt Photo Session

Hello!! I know I have been MIA for the past few weeks, but I am making my way back. I've just been so busy! Anyways, I've just recently had a small photo session with my husband as my photographer so I wanted to share a short slideshow of the end results. I hope you guys enjoy it!



Spring is just around the corner and I loved the high-low skirt I wore in my photos. I absolutely adore how the skirt was flowing in the air so effortlessly. This is a perfect piece for the warm weather and I cannot wait to pair it with more outfits.
