Warm Weather Favorites

It has been raining everyday for what seems like all of April and May. Clearly there will be no spring for me this year, and winter will turn to summer rapidly. With that in mind I am currently forgetting the gloomy skies and thinking about warmer weather. 

 {The EveryGirl\’s Guide to Life by Maria Menounos}
I was beyond excited when I found out Maria Menounos had a book coming out. I think she has impeccable style and is pretty much flawless. I have only had her book a couple days and am almost done with it. It\’s a quick, easy and informational and fun read. The book focuses on anything any girl would want to know from skin care and style to saving money and having an organized life. I definitely recommend you go out and get this book – it would make a great pool side summer read!
{Marley Lilly Monogrammed Floppy Hats}
From the Royal Wedding to the Kentucky Derby hats are everywhere, and the trend isn\’t going anywhere anytime soon. I am absolutely loving this Marley Lilly Monogrammed Floppy Hat. How perfect would it be to wear on the beach or out on the town with friends?! I have one and I can\’t wait to show you what it looks like…. when it stops raining!
{Wendy Mink Rose Quartz Cluster Bracelet}
You know me I absolutely love jewelry from earrings to necklaces and bracelets they are all my absolute favorite. I recently discovered Wendy Mink Jewelry and immediately fell head over heels in love with almost every single piece. From tribal to feminine there is a bit of everything available on the website which I absolutely love. Each piece is perfectly crafted and you can tell a lot of pride and love goes into each piece. I know you need some new jewelry in your life!

{OKA b. Shoes}

You know I couldn\’t make a post about warmer weather essentials without including my favorite summertime shoes OKA b. If you have not bought a pair or ten you are definitely missing out! They are in expensive, comfortable and just so darn cute!!!

{Washed Habotai One Shoulder Dress by Tibi}
A few really cute summer dresses. I am currently loving Tibi, Tucker and Lilly… what about you?!
What are your warm weather favorites?

PS are you in love with the eyelashes of the  with the Stars girls? I most definitely am! I just found out that the lashes worn by the professionals and celebrities are by Ardell Lashes! Of course I had to share this little bit of information with you!

The under 15 Minute Apron

I have a super easy placemat apron tutorial for you today!

 
Materials
• placemat
• ribbon
• glue gun (because I dont own a sewing machine :/)
• pins
• scissors
• embellishments
  
Step 1: Measure your hips and cute your ribbon to your deserved length – note don\’t forget to leave room for a bow!

 Step 2: Center your ribbon so it is equal on both sides and pin the ribbon to one end of your placemat so you are sure to glue the proper area.

Step 3: Glue the edges. I did the bottom and top edge so it wouldn\’t look bumpy.  Then add any embellishment you\’d like! I chose to make a ribbon bow.

Happy Crafting!

Pirates take over OPI

This season I am definitely obsessed with pastel manicure\’s and pedicure\’s. While they look like Easter eggs in the bottle on nails they are beyond gorgeous. They give a soft and sweet feminine look that I am absolutely adoring. That\’s why when I saw OPI\’s Pirates of the Caribbean on Stranger Tides collection I knew it was going to be love at first polish.

{left to right with Silver Shatter over it: steady as she rose, skull & glossbones, stranger tides, sparrow me the drama, mermaid\’s tears and planks a lot}

This is the collection I have been waiting for! It contains six fabulously gorgeous cremes as well as silver shatter!

PS don\’t mind how horrible my cuticles and nails look I got a professional manicure and the girl tore my cuticles and nails apart! :/

 {Steady as she Rose}

Steady as she Rose is the perfect mauve shade of polish.

 {Skull & Glossbones}

Skull & Glossbones is a gorgeous taupe with sage undertones.

{Stranger Tides}

Stranger Tides is a murky seaweed sage

{Sparrow me the Drama}

Sparrow me the Drama is a semi bright pink mauve that would still be considered a pastel

{Mermaid\’s Tears}

Mermaid\’s Tears is a dusty minty sea green.

{Planks a lot}

Planks a lot is a misty grape pop purple.

What do you think about this collection?

I am absolutely loving it. It\’s one of my favorite collections that have come out this year. Pastels are finally making a comeback and I absolutely love it! This is a must have collection!
