wedge fever

The title pretty much explains it! But these beauties are so versatile and go with anything! I plan on pairing them with a long maxi dress, skinny jeans, or even white linen pants! I think that a pair of basic black or neutral colored wedges are the way to go for a long walk on the boardwalk, shopping around in an outdoor mall, or taking a stroll downtown! Hope you all liked!

E.l.f. Cosmetics Review

Here is a full review on perfect and affordable summer must-haves! Enjoy!

1. The Tinted Moisturizer is very light and soft, almost like a primer, I tried the 6-8 hr. test and it worked! Nothing ran or got oily or dry on my combination skin! I did not expect it to stay so well! My final verdict would be that this is a good product that I would totally recommend to a friend!

2. The blush in Tickled Pink is so soft and smooth and easy to blend into your foundation or tinted moisturizer. This product looks just like the NARS packaging and is very sleek and easy to carry for on the go. The color pigmentation is amazing and lasts as long as your foundation will!

3. The Eyelid primer is very sheer and thin in consistency but doesn't leave a very thick film at all on your eyelid! It is soft and leaves a matte base for your eyeshadow! Great product!

4. The brushes from e.l.f. are good and soft but need to be replaced after a month or two! But are good for temporary use! (some may shed hair, but this one hasn't so far!)

Check It Out - OOTD

Hi ladies! Its been so long! And I missed the blogging world, so here you go! This outfit was actually worn last week but I am finally getting around to uploading and everything now! School has just been super busy! Anyways, this outfit is so casual and features a checked babydoll-style top that I paired with a black pair of sleeves for the look of "layering." These sleeves range from $4-$7 depending on where you get them and keep you warm on those windy but still sunny days! I then paired that with a royal blue camisole and dark wash skinny jeans! I also wore my TOMS shoes in light blue but they aren't shown! Enjoy!
