This item is a must to keep your ring protected from damage when you are out and about at the nail salon, gym or doing anything that could be destructive to your engagement ring or wedding band. RingHero is you BFF for all of these occasions. It is a wristlet that keeps your rings safe and secure in a zipped pocket. RingHero protects your sparkly pieces from theft and damage, while you have the freedom to get in your workout or have a manicure. I will be using it while working out getting in shape for my wedding. How would you use it?

Once you get engaged having your nails always polished is a must because everybody wants to look at that ring right? Zoya is the best nail polish because it is free of parabens, lead, formaldehyde, and many of those other nasty things you don’t want in or on your body. So Zoya is a healthier choice and last days without chipping; what more do you need? In this trio the colors are Jordan, Leia (which is my favorite), and Abby. I will definitely being wearing these all summer, especially to my bachelorette party and bridal shower.

If you are looking for something sparkly for your wedding day I have found the perfect pair. These Charles & Colvard Moissanite Three Prong Martini Studs will do the trick. The round Forever One moissanite earrings are delicate and will go great with almost any attire. They are 14K white gold, and have the diamond equivalent weight of 1.00ctw. Moissanite is one of the rarest minerals found in nature. Charles & Colvard have been creating moissanite for over two decades and I think they have perfected it in these near-colorless studs. The best thing about these is that they are offered at a fraction of the cost of comparable gemstones. They are gorgeous and definitely do not disappoint. I will be wearing these to my bridal shower and rehearsal dinner.

Bali Lace ‘N Smooth Body Briefer 
You have the perfect dress, now you need the undergarments. This Bali Lace N’ Smooth Body Briefer is just the thing for brides. It is a super soft lace that is breathable, but yet still provides as much control as needed. This body briefer shapes you in the right places and does not bulge. It has underwire cups that hold you in and allow support on your special day. Full coverage with hook and eye closures, which is exactly what I am looking for. The best part is that it is comfortable and you can wear it all day during your wedding.

Happy Makeup Monday! Can you guys believe I have never tried Urban Decay Cosmetics? Me either! Have you tried them? Especially their 24/7 eyeliner? If you don’t try anything else you have to try that, it is amazing and glades on with ease. Comes in multiple colors and last all day.  In this Makeup I am also trying an eyeshadow palette with six shades and a setting spray that will make your makeup last all day. Check out my YouTube tutorial and review here for details on all these products.

Skirt with Panels

Who doesn’t love a skirt with different panels or mix match fabric? This piece is a true winner in my book. It incorporates different textures and patterns to pull off a unique look. This color and texture block A-line has pops of color, polychrome faux suede, and tweed to create a different look to an otherwise boring alternative. The skirt is just fun! Especially paired with this ruffled off the should top. The movement of the skirt as well as the top make the outfit perfect for dancing (makes me want to learn how to salsa :). It is also equally good for date night, a fashion show, or a bachelorette party. Add some accessories and you are off! Honestly one of my favorite outfits I have shot to date. What are your thoughts?

Perfect lipstick is an understatement. These four Grande Cosmetic’s Hydraplump Liquid Lipsticks were sent to me months ago and I just now tried them. I am so mad at myself because I absolutely love them and could have been wearing them for months. Ugh, typical! Anyway, you need try these. And here is why: lip plumper, very pigmented, long lasting, and moisturizing. Find out even more about these liquid lipsticks that will make you want to run out and buy them, from my YouTube review (here) or below. You can thank me later!

Blush Tones and Trouser Jeans

Blush tones are some of my favorite colors, especially in a cute top like the one I have on in this post. I have been told by many blush is my color! So…with that said I am only wearing blush from now on! (Just joking!) I paired this off the shoulder blouse with light wash denim trousers from RoxyNell. This brand of jeans is made from high quality denim and are custom to fit your body. Who doesn’t want the perfect pair of fitted jeans?? Accessories are a must to finish an outfit. Here I chose tassel earring with beading, a link bracelet, and a super fancy purse (which is by far one of my favorites). This outfit is perfect for date night or a girls night out this spring and summer.

What favorites are you pulling out of your closet this summer for date night? Shop my picks below.

Who Is Ready for Derby??

Shop: Dress | Fascinator (One, Two, Three) | Clutch | Shoes | Necklace 

Are you ready for Derby? I’m ready! I have my dress and my fascinator all laid out. What are you wearing? We are a week out from one of the most popular horse races in the US, the Kentucky Derby. It is a tradition if you go to the Derby to wear a hat or a fascinator. I am not a huge hat person, but fascinators are right up my alley. To the point that I am wearing one for my wedding. Fascinators are pretty much all the rage right now and a great alternative to wearing a hat. I think they are great to show your personality or to add a pop of color to your outfit. I have linked many affordable fascinators here and below.

Now on to the dress! What do you wear to the Kentucky Derby? A fancy dress of course. When I get a chance to get all dolled up, I always take it. Going to Churchill Downs on this special day is one of those chances. The Derby is basically a fashion show. The higher the heels and the bigger the hat the better. I bought this dress a couple months ago on sale from Draper James and saved it for this specific event. Isn’t it perfect? (find a similar dress here).

This week heading into the Kentucky Derby there are many fun activities that us locals and out of towners can get involved in, such as Beer Fest, Wine Fest, Boat Race, Pegasus Parade, Chow Wagon and multiple others you can find here.

Happy Derby Week!

Home is the Key: Chico’s Basic Essential Slub Tee

My last blog post explain what the Home is the Key Campaign is all about (read that post here). It is a wonderful campaign with an amazing cause that works towards combating the affordable housing crisis here in the US. I have chosen to collaborating with them by showing off my style in this Chico’s Basic Essential Slub Tee. Chico’s and Chico’s FAS brand stores have partnered with Habitat for Humanity by allow their customers to donate in store and online to help with this cause. Each Chico’s FAS brand stores (White House Black MarketChico’s, and Soma Intimates) have chosen a product to donate all proceeds when purchased to Habitat from April 23-May 31. For Chico’s that item is their Basic Essential Slub Tee, which I am wearing in this post. It is truly the perfect tee because of its high low design that allows it to be longer in the back and shorter in the front, which is great for leggings or that half tucked look. The shirt is super comfortable and works well with jeans, liked I paired it here. I added some cute accessories, such as my legacy belt, beaded earrings and a clutch that showcases one of my favorite fruits, pineapple (which means hospitality and friendship). Style yours anyway you like, considering the tee can go with almost anything.

There are many ways to get involved with Home is the Key. Check out their website (here) for more information.

Home is the Key: White House Black Market Ankle Pant

What is Home is Key? It is Habitat for Humanity’s national campaign to help address the nation’s rising affordable housing problem. Did you know that one in four households in the US pays more then 30% of their income for housing, leaving it very difficult to afford other basic necessities? Having affordable housing allows families to have more resources and live healthier safer lives.  Home is Key wants to unlock the future for many families this April by educating and partnering with people that want to help spread their message. So why not do your part?

There are many ways to get involved in this project, but one I want to specifically focus on in this post deals with shopping, of course! Chico’s FAS, the parent company of White House Black Market (WHBM), Chico’s, and Soma Intimates is supporting this campaign by allowing their customers to donate in each of their stores or online. Also the company has picked specific items from the stores that all the proceeds from that item will be donated to Home is Key during a set time. From April 23-May 31st WHBM proceeds from every Comfort Stretch Ankle Pant sold will go to support Habitat. These pants are super comfy, have great stretch (lets face it ladies we love a pant that has a little give), and the fit is excellent (true to size). I only have one pair, but I am thinking I need to invest in another, especially since it can help a family have a safe living environment and also because they look great with my cactus shirt! 🙂

So join me and get involved by visiting Habitat.org/key and make a donation in any amount. Home is the Key runs through April 30. Every little bit helps!

In the Arts

Happy Friday! It is actually feeling like Spring today for the first time, and I couldn’t be more excited! What about you? I am so over the cold and snowy weather. Now that it has warmed up, what do you wear? Well for me its leggings of course. I love the faux leather ones, which are great for Spring, considering that in the morning and evening the temperature maybe a littler more chillier. I styled the leggings with a black tank, which is perfect for that afternoon warmer temps. I paired the outfit with a tan moto jacket to give it a little color. Added a couple of accessories and wedges and I was good to go. What are you wearing today??
