Last weekend's weather was exactly what I've been waiting for: cold, rainy, and cloudy. As soon as I woke up to a cool wind coming through my windows I knew exactly what I wanted to wear: fleece-lined tights. I remember living in them last winter but forgot how amazingly comfortable these bad boys were until I put them on with my favorite boots. Now that I am familiar with how great they are again, they are obvi going to become a staple in my wardrobe. Sorry I'm not sorry I plan on living in tights this winter. 

Recent Obession: Lip Color

Nars/ Clinique/ Tarte/ Maybelline

Now that the weather has finally warmed up (I mean, it was 93 when I landed in Vegas yesterday) I have decided to shift my focus from heavy foundations and powders to fun summer lip colors. Because I will probably be wearing less and less makeup as the summer arrives, I want to focus on my two staples: mascara and lip color. I have never been one of those girls who carries tons of lip colors... until recently. There are no less than nine different colors in my purse at the current moment. And I am still trying to narrow down what color I will be wearing as my BFF walks down the isle on Saturday.

I am learning towards one of my reds--either Buxom or Clinique-- but I can't stop wearing these Maybelline colors. Alison turned me on to them a few months ago and I have been obsessed ever since.

What are your favorite brands of lip color?

Wow, it feels like weeks since I've done an outfit post! Well, I guess that isn't too far off as I think the last outfit post was well before the move began. It's amazing to think about how much has changed in the last three weeks. For starters, this is my first post back in Nevada. The weather could not have been more perfect for my return. Temps have been in the mid to high 70s and each day has been sunny with a light breeze. I could not have asked for anything better. 

To celebrate the great weather, and the fact that all of my clothes are still on a truck somewhere in the middle of America, I decided to wear this lace dress for one of my first days at the new job. I love how summery it feels now that I don't have to pair it with tights and boots.

Also, thanks for sticking with me as I finish up with this move. It hasn't been easy but I finally have internet and it looks like my stuff will be arriving on Saturday! I can't wait to make this house my home.

Current Beauty Faves


I don't usually talk about beauty products here on the blog but the more I think about it, the more I think I want to incorporate more beauty products on here. It's amazing the amount of different products I try out/ play with/ use on a routine basis and I'd love to start sharing more of my finds.

Right now, I have four favorites that I can't live without. The first would be Maybelline Color Elixir. I actually discovered this lip color last week while reading Alison's blog and had to know more about the color. When she told me more about it, I knew I had to pick some up and try it out. Luckily, her recommendation was 100% accurate and I'm now in love. Not to mention it's such a change from my typical red/ reddish color.

The second product on my obsession list is this blush from theBalm. It adds just the perfect amount of color and shimmer... and I recently used up my second one. It is very affordable and lasts forever but I can't seem to get enough. I think it's a perfect shade for almost every skin tone.

Number three: my red lipstick. I have been wearing this color non-stop for weeks now and I'd like to blame it on this terrible weather. There is hope that someday it will warm up and I will completely convert to the Maybelline color above. But for now, this red is my go-to for just about every event.

Last, but not least, root spray. When I got my hair cut last time, I was introduced to this product and immediately had to have a bottle of my own. The texture and volume that this adds is great for fine hair. I always struggle with hair products weighing my hair down too much but this is the opposite. I love the way my hair feels after styling it with this product.

Do you have any beauty products you are loving these days?
