    Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale Picks

    Happy Monday friends!! I hope y’all know what day it is…there’s no better way to start the week than with a sale! And I’m talking about the Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale which is know LIVE!! I’ve shopped this sale twice before, last August and then again in January. I also posted last week about everything you need to know about the sale which you can read here. This is one of the only times that Lilly items go on sale so I always take advantage of it.

    LP September 2018

    I logged on this morning at about 6am West Coast time (site opened 8amEST) and my wait time was over an hour! I waited and it was definitely worth it. Once you get in the site, just hit “Shop Now” and you’ll have access to the sale.

    LP Sale

    Below, I’ve linked some of my favorite items (I purchased almost all of the items below) Very important to note is the fact that ALL items are FINAL SALE so you need to be 100% sure that you want the item and that it’s your correct size.

    This is such a good deal, almost $100 off! That is insane! It looks like the perfect size for a weekend getaway for a carry-on for the plane.

    I usually try and purchase with specific usage or events in mind, but if I’m being honest, this season I didn’t do that. I took a look around and bought what I thought was cute. My advice is to think about what’s currently in your closet and what you may have been missing this summer or what needs to be replaced. I can’t wait for my items to get delivered so I can give y’all an update on how everything fits!

    Let me know if any of y’all shopped the sale this morning or are planning on shopping. I want to know what you picked up and I’d love to hear your experience!

    Best Activewear Buys of the NSale

    So I may have gotten a little side tracked and forgot about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Although, when I say I forgot, it doesn’t mean that I forget to shop it…oh no, I spent more than my fair share last week. We all know that the Nordstrom Sale is basically the biggest sale of the year. It’s Christmas in July and contains tons of great buys for the fall season! You can gain early access through either the Nordstrom credit card. I have the Nordstrom Debit Card (they no longer have this) which is great since it comes right out of my checking account! You can apply for a card here and get early access plus a $40 note to spend at the sale.

  • February Faves

    February Faves

    Good morning and happy Wednesday friends! My teams cheer season ended this past weekend, so now that I no longer have practice after work, I’ve realized I have a lot more free time. I’ve been using my new found free time to get some stuff done over at the condo before Robert moves in. Last night was spent taking the old shelf liners out of every drawer/cabinet. My mom came with me and started laying new lining down in the pantry.

    I’ve been meaning to write about some of my favorite products that I use on a daily basis. I’ve been hard core crushing on a few beauty products lately and felt like I should share with y’all what they were!

    IT COSMETICS Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream with SPF 50+ – $15-$38

    Ok, I didn’t used to wear this, but it’s a total game changer. This cream is perfect for covering up any discolored or splotchy looking skin. It eliminates any redness I might have and completely evens out my skin tone. I usually put this on before I put my concealer on so that my face is even. I love that it glides on so smooth and feels weightless all day! I apply it using a sponge I bought at Target (here). The only negative thing I will say is this (and this is a no brainer), wash your face and get all the makeup off your face before going to bed because you will get a pimple or two if you leave this on overnight! It comes in shades Fair to Deep giving you seven options to choose from. You can also test it out and buy the mini size in either Light or Medium. You can also find this cream at Macy’s.

    MAKE UP FOR EVER Pro Finish Multi-Use Powder Foundation – $37

    I have been using this powder FOREVER!!! I used to use a different powder, but found my skin was breaking out from it, so my hairdresser recommended this one a few years ago and I fell in love. The powder comes in 21 shades ranging from Pink Porcelain to Neutral Ebony. I vary between 115 Pink Ivory and 118 Neutral Beige depending on the time of year. This is a breakthrough multiuse formula that can be applied as a foundation or setting powder. It is super lightweight and doesn’t look cakey when applied!

    I use the MAC 150 brush when applying my powder. You can find the brush at:

    CLINIQUE Take The Day Off Makeup Remover for Lids, Lashes & Lips – $9.50-$19

    I first purchased the travel size because I wasn’t sure if I would like it or not, but I did and went and bought the full size. This makeup remover is great because I don’t feel like it dries out my skin after I use it. It effortlessly dissolves longwearing makeup, even waterproof mascara. The Sephora website says that it is suitable for contact lens wearers and I 100% agree! It doesn’t irritate my eyes if I forget to take my contacts out before wiping away my eye makeup. I use these cotton rounds from Target to help get all the makeup off from my eyes and lips!

    You can also find this at:

    TORY BURCH Love Relentlessly Perfume – $30-$118

    I actually bought this the day before my London trip because I ran out of perfume and was looking for something new to wear. I usually go towards more floral scents and this one is filled with Pink Pepper, Rose, Orris, and Sandalwood. Love Relentlessly captures the euphoric feeling of falling in love and the bottle is so pretty. This perfume comes in the roller size (perfect for traveling) and three other sizes that you spray on yourself.

    So there you have it, those are my top items that are currently on repeat in my beauty routine. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask me! Let me know if you end up picking up any of my fave items!
