Sunday ☀️

Who doesn't love a detailed tee? It adds so much to the overall look and dresses up what would be a basic tee and denim cut offs. Today I went with this beautifully detailed grey tee and my favorite H&M cut offs. These sandals are also one of my favorite pairs in my closet. They are so comfy and stylish. I love the lace up detail around the leg. 

Happy Sunday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

blooms.





I love a great outdoor space. My patio is no exception. It was needing some work as we just purchased a new bench and footstool from a fun antique fair. I purchased some adorable rugs, pillows, cushions, and candle holders from Target. I love their affordable prices and fun, bright designs on their products. 

Where is your favorite place to relax and enjoy time with family and friends on summer days? I would love to hear.

brow me.

Growing up, my mama had such a beautiful and natural beauty routine. Even to this day, her skin glows and she radiates beauty! I love how she taught me so much about taking care of yourself inside and out. I will always remember her reminder to have lipstick (or gloss :) ) on no matter what I was about to go do. It made my look complete and added glam to my overall look. 

I still remember to always make sure my lips are done, but I also added another must to my make-up routine, whether I am spending 5 minutes or 15 minutes on my make-up: eyebrows. 

Eyebrows make the biggest difference in one's overall appearance. It can change the shape of your face, how your eyes and eye make-up appears along with many other fabulous advantages. After spending my pre-teens and teens in a time where thin eyebrows were "in" (what were we thinking!?!), I am so glad to now be living in a time where natural and fuller eyebrows take center stage a la Cara Devevingne. 



Alas, not all of us are born with those gorgeous brows. What is a lady (or gent!) supposed to do if that is the case? I say run, not walk, to your nearest Nordstrom or Sephora to get a consultation from an Anastasia representative. They are by far the best in the business and have totally changed my face with the shaping and filling in of my eyebrows. I highly recommend these products below. I love them and use them every day, no matter if I am sans make-up or full glam.

After the busiest few months, I am officially on summer break and working part time. I am excited to take some down time for myself and focus on some creative outlets for me including this blog. I miss sharing all of my favorite looks, products, and experiences with you all. 

Today I had the opportunity to enjoy a day with no plans. None, zip, nada. It was so nice to spend a day doing the things I love to do along with not setting an alarm this morning. 😜 That to me is always a little slice of heaven. I love a good tent dress because of the comfort factor and the nod back to the 60's in the cut and shape of the dress itself. These stripes add such a fun punch to the dress and make the dress a classic piece to have. I love pairing this dress with everything from boho booties, white vans, and everything in between. 

Here's to a great summer full of some even better outfits and styling 😘 

Xoxo Amanda.
