Weekend Getaway

I love to get away on the weekends! I pack lite and usually hit the road right after work on Friday. This weekend I was planning on driving down to Nashville to visit some friends, but with all rain that hit Nashville and more predicted this weekend a change of destination is in order. I love to keep it simple but stylish, a tank and loose fitting blue jeans paired with cute sandals and a cross body purse sums up my weekend style. So this post is just a little inspiration for any of you getting away this weekend. :)

Sneak Peek!

Here's a sneak peek of what I put together to wear out the night of my birthday-and the only thing I bought was the skirt everything else I already owned! Kudos to me for holding up my New Year's Goal by shopping less and saving more *pats self on back!* xo

 

Cheers to 24!

 

10 days till my Birthday!

To be honest it is was difficult to come up with a birthday wish list because I received everything I wanted for Christmas (thanks Santa!), and most of the things I really want can't be purchased from a store (i.e. acceptance letters from grad schools).  Since my birthday is right around the corner I thought I post a short wish list for the heck of it. As of now I don't have any concrete birthday plans so we'll just see what happens! xo.

1. Target is my absolute favorite store for beauty products, clothes, shoes, home decor EVERYTHING!
2. A  Planet Fitness just opened up around the corner from my house so what better way to start off the new year than with a gym membership and fresh kicks!
3. Every girl loves a comfy hoodie/pullover!
4. LOVE that necklace!
5. I have been hearing really great reviews about the IMAN BB Cream all over youtube it will officially launch in stores at the end of January but can be found on drugstore.com NOW!

Beauty Faves of 2012

The items pictured above have been favorites of mine for the entire year of 2012. Whether it was spring, summer, fall or winter I have been reaching for these products. Many of these can be purchased at a drugstore so they won't hurt your pockets! Eyes: My everyday look is normally a smokey neutral eye with black eyeliner on my top waterline and voluminous lashes, this look is achieved with the products above. Lips: A tinted moisturizing lip balm under a sheen of lip gloss is my go to look for lips. I save lipstick for special occasions! Face: I put as little on my face as possible because I'm usually rushing! Normally I'll spot conceal any blemishes with my MAC Pro Longwear Concealer (not pictured), and then use MAC Mineralized Skin Finish, a light pink blush and a transparent pressed powder to keep my face matte for the day. Here's to 2013! xo.
