On Trend This Summer

What's on trend this summer? That's a good question because I have no idea. I'm not one to keep up to date with fashion trends. I tend to wear whatever I feel looks good on me or whatever is comfortable. Honestly, if I could wear sweats year round I would. 

I do think that this summer we're going to see A LOT of floral prints, bright colors, high waisted shorts, flowy dresses, bright nail polish and crop tops. Or is that just me minus the high waisted shorts? 

I've never been a floral type of person. I've always felt that pink just wasn't my color and I couldn't pull off too many dresses. But I was sort of digging the floral vibe I've been seeing a lot of. I decided I needed to add a few more pieces to my closet (that really can't fit anything else) but I didn't want to spend a fortune so I went on Forever 21's site. I've never been a huge fan of their store but I know it's fairly inexpensive so I figured I'd give it a shot...and HOLY MOLY FLORAL HEAVEN! 

They have so many cute floral dresses, shirts, shorts, etc. I got a few dresses, a crop top and a shirt. I'm thinking I might need to order a few more things this month because I really like them. 5 items for $60 is a win in my book. Here are a couple of the pieces from there that I've worn: 

Whatever you decide to wear just make sure you rock it! Don't worry about keeping up with the trends, just wear what you want to wear and have fun. Don't forget to try different things, you just might like it.

Buxom Nudes and Brights

Hi guys!

I sort of went a little crazy on Sephora's website recently and spent enough to get me to the VIB status. So yes, I spent quite a bit. One of the things that caught my eye was the Buxom Nudes and Brights lip gloss set. It was $32 with a retail value of $51. 

I've heard a lot of great things about the Buxom line and thought this was a good way to try six of their colors out without breaking the bank. Below is a little swatchy, swatchy.

From left to right: Yes You, Mwah, Dolly, Strut It, Pucker Up and Cha Cha Cha

Aren't they so pretty?! And I love the names of them. When I went to try them out on my lips, Yes You and Mwah didn't show up too well. But I'm thinking with a lipstick underneath, they'll give that perfect bit of nude you need. 

The dofa applicator is flat on both sides, so instead of having to dip the applicator back in after one use, you can flip it over and use the other side. I'm definitely pleased with this buy. They weren't too sticky, which is what I look for in a gloss. Nobody likes to rub their lips together and it feel like there's sticky glue on them. I think Cha Cha Cha is going to be a staple for me this summer. It's the perfect bright coral color. These Buxom glosses were a definite hit!

From my glossy lips to yours,
