Chrissy Teigen has got to be my favorite person on the planet. Her tweets alone have me in stitches. Not to mention, she’s gorgeous, smart, and a wonderful mother and wife. So, when I heard she came out with a makeup palette, I knew I had to have it. You can purchase this palette here at Ulta or here at Lord and Taylor. If you purchase from Ulta, you will receive a free Becca Deluxe Highlighter in Opal! Who doesn’t love free makeup?

First of all, the packaging is beautiful and I love the “becca” design in one of the highlighters.

To create the look below, I took the bronze shade and applied the color to the indents of my cheekbones. Then, I applied the blush shade right on top of the bronzer. Lastly, I took both of the highlighters and applied them above the blush.

Verdict: I definitely like this palette a lot. The colors went on smooth and stayed on really well. My only complaint was the intensity of the blush, so next time I use this palette, I probably will just skip that. Luckily, I can still say I love everything about Chrissy Teigen. Keep slayin’ girl.

What do you think of this look? Are you a huge fan of Chrissy’s like I am?

After the success of my last “Create Your Own Stitch Fix” post, which you can find here, I had a request to create a fix using all Stitch Fix brands through Amazon. This was a little harder than I anticipated but as the great Barney Stinson says, “challenge accepted!”

I again created two fixes. The first one contains a business outfit and the second is more casual.

For this business look, pair the Renee C blouse with the Kensie blouse, Liverpool ponte pants, urban expressions clutch, and Nine West heels! This is such a classy, effortless look for any office!

Kensie Blazer ($37.99)
Renee C Blouse ($15.99-$21.99)
Urban Expressions Clutch ($23.99)
Liverpool Madonna Leggings (most sizes $39.99)
Nine West Heels ($34.99)
TOTAL : $158.95-$164.95

23.jpg

For this fix, pair either the Kut from the Kloth striped top or the Kensie long sleeved top with the Liverpool capris and add the Steve Madden yellow heels for that pop of color! If you’re in the mood for a dress, try the Olive & Oak tank dress with the yellow heels for the perfect summery look!

Kensie Cold Shoulder Long Sleeve Top ($7.76-$23.99)
Liverpool Capris ($37.53-$59)
Olive & Oak Dress ($24-$35)
Kut from the Kloth Cold Shoulder Top ($26.99)
Steve Madden Yellow Heels ($59.25)
TOTAL: $155.53 – $204.23

 

So, what do you think? Which “fix” do you like better?

Well, folks it’s time for another installment of what’s in my cart Wednesday! So many good sales and deals this week, it’s gonna be tough narrowing down what I actually buy. Let’s get started, shall we?

First off, Kate Spade announced a surprise sale the other day that runs until May 19, 2017 with up to 75% off items! Plus free shipping over $99!

Black Tote ($99, regularly $299) – Such a good deal for a large Kate Spade tote! It also comes in four colors…decisions, decisions.
Earrings ($19, regularly $49) – I’m typically a hoop earring girl but these are just too cute to pass up! 
Clutch ($62, regularly $248) – I mean, this is almost a $200 difference! Again, too cute (and cheap) to pass up! 
Phone Case –  $(19, regularly $39) If you could currently see my phone case, you would understand why I need a new one.

 

Next, of course, is Nordstrom. I don’t think a day goes by that my Nordstrom cart is empty. Here’s what I have this week (all on sale!)

sale2.jpg

Bobeau High/Low Cardigan (40% off) – I know Spring/Summer are coming but I always need a good cardigan to throw over tops when the sun goes down at night.
Lush Cold Shoulder Dress  (40% off) Not much to say about this one other than it’s just adorable! 
Steve Madden Ecntrcqt Sneakers ($41, regularly $59.95) I already own these in black but I love them and if you know anything about me, it is that I am obsessed with blush! 
Bobeau Ruffle Top (40% off) – I’m all about ruffles this season and this short sleeved top is perfect for the upcoming warmer weather!  
Necklace ($9.49) – I own a very similar necklace in white that goes with everything, and I wear it constantly. I MUST add a pink one to my collection.

 

Last but not least, my Amazon cart has a couple items at phenomenal prices!

sale3.jpg

High Wasited Bikini ($19.99) – After the amount of donuts I’ve been consuming this year, high waisted bikinis are looking better and better!
Chifon Blouse ($13.99) – This looks adorable and is available in 7 colors! 
City Classified Sling Backs (some sizes are $21! All under $25) – These are exactly the type of shoe I have been searching for and they’ve gotten really good reviews.

And there you have it! Do you have anything waiting in your cart that you’re dying to purchase?

Stitch-Fix-February-2017-Inside-Box.jpg

I ‘m anxiously awaiting the arrival of my next Stitch Fix but thought it would be fun to create my own fix for Spring. If you aren’t sure what Stitch Fix is or haven’t tried them yet, check out my latest review here. I challenged myself to only include Stitch Fix brands but at lower prices. If you are familiar with Stitch Fix, you know that each fix contains 5 items and a note. However, I got so excited while writing this post that I had to create two separate fixes. OK, enough chit chat, on to the clothes!

For this spring fix, pair the Blu Pepper Top with the Everly kimono. The kimono is perfect for Spring and will look great with this pair of Liverpool jeans and Franco Sarto wedges! When the weather gets a little warmer, pair the top with the white Kut from the Kloth shorts and you’re ready for the heat!

  1. Blu Pepper Top ($17)
  2. Everly Kimono ($39)
  3. Liverpool Jeans ($29.99)

For this next fix, I focused on current trends and creating a casual look. Pair the RD Style off-the-shoulder top with the Liverpool capris and Nine West wedges for a look that is so on fleek with this Spring’s trends. If you’re going for a more casual look, throw on the Kut from the Kloth lace-up top with the Liverpool capris and add the Seavees for a bright pop of Spring color!

  2. Liverpool Capris ($44.99)
