It's a Haul!


 Leith crop top - Nordstrom Savvy (no longer available)






Just a few bits and pieces I've picked up over the past few weeks.  Summer is finally here and I absolutely hate all my clothes form last summer so i've been shopping non stop trying to kind of reset my closet. I plan on picking up a few more things over the weekend and then i'll be done shopping for the summer...maybe :)

Let me be your Juliet..








When I came across this pictorial, I instantly fell in love.  From the romantic florals to the rebellious plaid jumper.  It's everything I loved about Romeo & Juliet. And of course the cute little photograph of Leo at the end topped it off perfectly!

Shoe Heaven






So I spotted these black Aldo wedgies a long long while ago and completely fell in love with them! For a person that doesn't fancy wearing heels they're perfect.  Sexy, sleek, but still pretty comfy to wear.  But me being a poor college student, they just weren't in the budget...until now!!!  So i'm on vacation in California and i just happen to stroll into the Aldo on melrose and what do you know!  The wedges i've been stalking for months are like 50% off!!  I was so excited i ended up getting the wedges and another pair of heels on sale, both for the price of one! Go me!!! 
The toms don't come with an exciting story but hey! They're comfy, cute, and i love them!

DO YOU BOO


Trust me, allowing other people to dictate life decision's for you is a recipe for disappointment!  I've learned from experience to trust my gut and always choose the route that'll make me happy instead of attempting to please someone else!

Queen Bey X H&M



Nothing is more exciting than waking up, checking instagram, and reading the words "Beyonce for H&M".  I literally screamed, jumped out of bed, and did the uh oh dance! I am so excited for this collaboration!  Beyonce will be the new face of H&M's summer line.  The line won't necessarily be designed by the famous singer but the pieces will definitely reflect her style. The line is said to be released worldwide in May and will tie in with the star's upcoming tour with the headline "Beyonce as Mrs. Carter in H&M".  This is honestly the most fabulous new i've heard all week! 

If you'd like to read more about the line I'd visit vogue.com


xoxo Smooches!

Shoe Report

shoes
This is by far my favorite trend at the moment.  A minimal sandal heel is sexy enough but add 
an ankle strap to it and it's hot on a whole new level.  I've seen these shoes from just about every major shoe company but these are just a few of my favorites.  The Gucci ursula patent leather,  YSL ankle cuff paris pump, Giuseppe Zanotti Design, Zara combination high heel sandal, Alexander Wang liya pump, and the Steve Madden realize. 


This is definitely a must have!

120 Palette You've been yearning to imitate that smokey eye tutorial by you're favorite youtube guru, well....why don't you!?
Sunglasses Hey! It's almost summer time, why not invest in those funky sunglasses you've been eyeing!
Pink lips The pink lip is a big trend right now, a lot of women are afraid of the pink lip but if done right, it can be the perfect pop of color.
Perfume I'm obsessed with this viktor & Rolf scent, it's the perfect everyday perfume!
Tik Tok Obviously every lady needs a good watch!
Chocolate It's Valentines day, buy yourself a huge box of chocolates, order you're favorite chick flick, grab a bottle of moscato and have a relaxing evening to yourself! 

Have a girls night!

One of my favorite things to do on Valentines day is to gather up all my single girlfriends, get dressed up, and go out! Who says you have to sit at home and cry all night because you're single!? Not I!! Go out, have fun, get a little tipsy and who knows maybe you'll meet someone for next V-day :)
