mixed metals.



ahh.. these past few days have been gorgeous! i love wearing hats with plain tanks bought this one at Forever quite a while ago..I never used to like mixing silver and gold but over the past year i've come to LOVE IT !

I have been having trouble sleeping the past few nights so I went over to Bath & Body Works today and picked up Sleep Pillow Mist in Lavender Vanilla its part of their Aromatherapy collection. Has anyone tried it ? I'll let you know my take on it in a few days..








                                   Found this belt at Gap for like $7 a few years ago love the color..

                              I like the band on this watch it reminds me of a "grandpa" watch, if you will..

                                                             My beautiful little cousin..
China Glaze Shocking Pink (neon) 70293
                         Polish of the weekend which i'm sure will be my go to polish throughout summer.

I took the hanging logo charm off my MK bag because I either like to wear it plain or with a fox tail.. I loved it but just not on a purse so I turned it into a bracelet..
I just had this cord left over but I am going to be switching it out all the time..
with a braided fabric, diff color cords, etc..

looking faux a deal..

Went thrifting today and found this lovely faux fur jacket for $15 & a tan clutch for $6 both from Goodwill ! I also dropped off some clothes at a consignment store did pretty well with that.. so if you have clothes/shoes you never wear take them in.. I got over $100 cash for only 5items, not to shabby! Hope you all have a very blessed weekend.

a hidden gem..

Yesterday my "sister" Bree and I headed to a new thrift store .. it was totally different indoor and outdoor almost like a house filled with items in the front yard, inside and backyard. They had old school skates to flower pots, clothes, sports equipment, hats, blankets, you name it they have it.
I found Bree a leather school bag and she found me a chain purse/clutch !





my new fave thrift store..

beachside stop.

I also went to Ulta last night and picked up 2 new lipsticks..
If you have an Ulta I printed a coupon from their website $5 off any $10 purchase, great deal.

Revlon Moon Drops Lipstick - 712 Hot Coral Creme (green cap)
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick- 677 Siren Creme

Siren is my new favorite ! I have been on the hunt for an orange lipstick and have now found the perfect one. I like it better than MACs Morange for the fact that it seems more orange coral on my lips rather than orange red..

the Flintstones..

Sorry these photos are quite fuzzy.. I know the "flare trend" has been making its way back over the past few months I personally still prefer skinnys but I do have a few flares that I've kept in my closet so I decided to pull one out today.. what are your thoughts on flares ?
The tank mini dress i'm wearing (tucked in) reminds me of the Flintstones..since i've had it for over a year i'm thinking I might dye it orange to give it more of that appeal...hope you all are doing great and thank you for all the lovely comments I really enjoy reading them <3



Dressed in:
Nordstrom(BP)- hoody leather jacket
