Starting At The Bottom

Hello, Friends! Thanks for stopping by!

Now that things are opening up and we are able to like, go places, it’s so important to have a no fail outfit. A lot of the fashion guru’s have said “have a uniform” as a major style tip. Think Anna Wintour in her dresses and sunglasses. It’s a similar silhouette. I’m not saying only wear this but it’s a great thing to have an outfit combination that you feel good in and can put it together in minutes.

For me, this outfit is a bodysuit and fun pants. I shop and buy a lot of things but my favorite is buying pants! I love a great print, bright color, or even a classic black cigarette pant. My favorite thing about printed pants is the number of different outfits you’re able to make. I build most of my outfits around the bottoms. I always start at the bottom and work around it, no matter what the piece is. I guess you could say it’s my outfit building process.

This is just what works for me, so head to your closet and see what pieces that you gravitate towards. Create your own uniform for when you need a quick outfit or just want to feel your best.

Be careful out there…I don’t trust a tuesday…

Summer Must-Haves

Ahhh June, the official month of Summer…

The change of a season is always exciting and the fun of summer is no exception. And now that we are able to start gathering again and doing things like going out to eat I thought I’d talk about five things your closet should have in it for this soon approaching season.

1. Something Pistachio

   This fabulous color made it’s big debut last Fall and has ever so effortlessly made it’s way into Spring and Summer. It’s light and airy vibe is perfect for that much anticipated night out. This is also a great color for a monochrome look. Plus it’s a green and you guys know a freakin’ love green.

2. A Bright, Easy, Dress

1. Running around and don’t really have the time to think about an outfit? Enter the flows, satin dress. The bright color is uplifting and perfect for a hot day as it flows. Find this fab purple number at Target!

3. Signature Sunnies!

Now, I never leave the house without sunglasses. Rain, clouds, snow? Doesn’t matter I always have them on when I leave the house. But these babies are going to be my signature summer sunglasses look. The perfect pop of red!

4. That Flat

1. It has never been a secret that I am a heel girl, however, if you’re headed to that BBQ heels simply aren’t a good idea (don’t think I haven’t don it though). Have the perfect comfortable flat that you know will go with everything. Mine? Feathers, of course.

5. Dressy & Casual Hat

Oh I love a good hat. I’ve said it before, I love them so much it was my first word. If you follow me on insta you’ve seen both hats of mine before because they are my favorites! My “casual” hat was a gift and is so perfect for a BBQ. And I can’t help but love the dragonfly and bees! My “dressy” hat is a classic black and white stripe and sure to go with everything. Hats look great but what’s even more important is to protect that face!

I hope you all have a super chic week and enjoy the warm sunny weather!

Trends & Tans

its so Important to do the things that make you feel good.

Now that it's starting to get nicer out, it's time to share my yearly tan post. I often get asked what tanning product I use since often times I am indeed tan. Who could blame me right? I'm blonde. And lets face it blondes look better tan. It also makes be a better person in general and feel less stabby.

So let's get to it. Fake Bake! I've used this product for About 15 years and will tell anyone who will listen how amazing it is. It has a green base so it doesn’t look orange. They have many different products and I'm pretty sure I've used them all but my favorite is the Instant Tan. They mean instant too. 'Cause this girl who is always in motion sure doesn't have a lot of time to wait for...well, anything. I'm a real big fan of instant gratification and this delivers. You can also watch it go on so there will be no dreaded streak. Plus with a birthday looming it helps to fight the good fight against wrinkles.

Fast Tips:

Always exfoliate first and put a little lotion on your elbows and knuckles.  

Do you nail polish after. 

Once your tan is where you want it, moisterize twice a day.  

What if you get a faux tan and it comes out terrible? Have no fear. Here is the fix:

Simply mix equal parts lemon juice, baking soda, and sugar and rub it out! 

Why does this work? Basically it just evens out the Ph of your skin back to normal. Crisis averted.

Flame Scarlet and a great sleeve!

Now on to fashion. I’ve talked about the Spring/Summer Pantone color palette and shared some favorites. So today I’m once again combining a fabulous current trend and a color from the palette I just love. 

Flame Scarlet breathes so much life into the season and will be sure to add sizzle to your summer. I was thrilled when I found this top that mixed this amazing color with the puffy sleeve! This trend is so fun because it adds just the right amount of fun and frill to an otherwise basic top.

Enjoy your Tuesday Friends!
