When I was invited to the Prashe fashion show, all I could think was "hair and make up, hair and make up, I can't wait to see all the hair and make up!". Let me tell you, the Prashe Fashion Show did not disappoint! From the gowns to the glowing skin, I was in LOVE.
I love to attend events and scout out new looks and inspirations. Or lets be real, people watch! I get some of my biggest inspirations from people watching! Why is people watching so negative? Off topic. The one thing I could not take my eyes off of was the amazing glow, and highlight all the models had on. I mean I was creeping hard trying to figure out how I could get my highlight that poppin'! All the girls had a clean fresh wing cat eye paired with the dewy, glowing skin.
I've never been one of those girls to pull off a slick back hair, I just don't have the face shape. But let me tell you, after this fashion show I was walking out thinking "I could totally rock this look". All the girls looked so beautiful with there hair all slick back, outta the face and totally refreshed!

So, when summer rolls around all I think about are dresses, dresses, and more dresses. Here in Texas we die of the heat, I mean BAM that heat hits us and its killer just leaving the house. So when I see those sure signs of summer I'm on the hunt for dresses on top of dresses. I can't be bothered with layering and pairing tops with short, skirts, or whatever. I want a one and done piece. Don't even have to think about it!
When this serape number strolled my way I think I literally did a happy day. Bright, check. Light weight, check. Good fit, check. I LOVE the fact that is bright and I don't have to pair 12 million different jewelry pieces to spruce it up. Its a one and done piece. Easy for travel, easy to dress up and down. You can best believe I will be repeating this beautiful number many times this summer.
So basically that brings me to my three items I can't live without for summer. Obviously dresses, and bomb arm candy combo, and a good chunky heel!

When summer rolls around the first thing I think of is "what is gonna be my perfect summer cross body?". You can literally turn any drab outfit to next level with a killer purse. In the summer I just can't be bothered by a cumbersome bag that is heavy, and overbearing. When I was scouring the internet, it finally clicked! Double J Saddlery has some of the most killer bag! Color, patterns, leathers, and the best thing....FRINGE!
I knew I wanted something bright, bold, and fun. So when I saw this one, I knew it was the perfect match. Plus, its the perfect size. It fits all the everyday essentials, and more! Full sized wallet, sunglasses, and a few make up essentials. My favorite part of this bag, besides the color, is the open pocket on the back for easy access of my phone.
Y'all, I highly recommend you check out all the options Double J Saddlery offers! Travel sizes bags, totes, cross body, and clutches!

I wouldn't say I suffer from acne, or oily skin. I would say I am pretty lucky in that department, but lets be real. We all struggle with our skin at one point in our lives. That time for me, is now.
My skin tone tends to lean more dry, with a little hormonal break out every once in a while. Well, recently I have been struggling with the texture of my skin, just little bumps in patches. Some here, some there. So, when I found out about Clearista Retexturing Gel I thought what does it hurt?
I started using the Clearista Retexturing Gel as recommended, 2-3 times week. The retexturing gel has a great consistence, that is great for sensitive drying skin types. I always worry with exfoliators that they will be to ruff and drying. When I first tried Clearista I as so happy to see it was a gel texture opposed to clay, or straight exfoliator. Clearista actually increases your hydration by clearing pores, for them to breath.
I usually try to use a products consistently but I suck at it. I suck at using products consistently, and thats why I never see results. And never like skin care items. But YALL, I stuck to Clearists and gave it a good go and saw results. Real results. It literally head retexture my outer surface of my skin. No more patches of random texture throughout my face. Bonus, this has no smell or oder to deter you from using it.
Thank you to Clearista for giving me the chance to try this item. It has now become a top shelf favorite. Let me know if you guys have any questions!

I sometimes wonder how time creeps up on us like this? Like is it really already wedding season? I know I'm so busy between working, cleaning, and cooking to be that type of person to shop ahead of time for a wedding gift. Or any gift for that matter. And by the time I realize I need a gift, all the good items are taken off the registry. So then your left with that random pair of place settings to gift. Totally not noticeable that you waited to the last minute.
One of my favorite gifts to give is a framed picture. Nothings is more personal, and classic than gifting a picture. Plus, it makes you look like you took the time and effort for the perfect gift!
Framebridge has a team of experts that design and articulate a custom built frame for any occasion. What makes Framebridge so great is the personal touches you can make. You can literally get pictures direct from the person you are gifting Instagram page! I mean, a picture on Instagram is a sure sign they love that picture! Framebrige works for Engagement Parties Gifts, Graduation Gift, Birthdays, and Weddings.
Framebridge is completely user friendly in all aspects. It literally take 3 minutes to get the frames ordered from start to finish. My favorite size they offer is the Instagram Prints 5x5 that retail for $39 each. When choosing a picture I would select a high resolutions photo or the highest quality photo available from upload. When choosing a frame, you have all styles possible. 38 different frames to be exact. Ranging from classic, clean, and eclectic. On top of choosing a custom frame you have the choice of mat color. After picking out the photo, frame, and mat color Framebridge creates the frame precisely measuring, cutting, and building the perfect wedding gift.

There is literally no other time in your life you can openly, randomly, let everyone know your engaged. You are someones soon to be wife! Seriously, what is more exciting than that! To me, absolutely nothing! So, yes. I am that girl that loves anything that says wife, wifey, bride, or soon to be bride.
This tee I found from Peter Piper Paper Co. is the perfect fit for that girl who is just as excited as I am. Do you have good friend who's just engaged? Are you attending an engagement party? Or a friend who is engaged and just need a gift for? This is the perfect gift! When else in your life do you get to wear stuff revolving around your wedding? So you might as well live it up. Wear that shit everyday if it makes you happy. It sure makes me happy!
I linked the tee below along with some extremely cute journals that would help any wifey to be!

So, I'll be honest. I was nervous about the thought of trying on wedding dresses. Lets be real, I'm not the skinniest of things, and defiantly not sample size. I was nervous nothing was gonna fit, I wasn't gonna be able to see the true fit of the dresses, and the list goes on. My nightmare of this wide open back with a piece of fabric clipped on, and feeling chunky did not happen...
a&be Bridal was a DREAM. I literally had the best experience I could have cried. No one wants to feel chunky, and uncomfortable trying on WEDDING dresses.
As soon as I walked in I was drooling. a&be bridal specializes in providing stylish, unique, indie, and up and coming designs for all those brides that want to be a little different. I was so suprised when i started trying dresses on that they fit, and they looked good! I didn't feel uncomfortable. I didn't feel i couldn't see what the dress was gonna look like. Basically, it went perfect. I had the three most important people next to me for what is in my top five favorite days ever.
I think while trying dresses on, I was so overwhelmed with love and excitement I couldn't even take the moment in. It really is as exciting as everyone makes it out to be. The next day, all the emotions I should have been feeling that day hit me. I think I cried a couple times the next day, and I don't cry often.
Thank you to Bethany at a&be bridal for making me feel beautiful and comfortable in my own skin.
XOXO
