From day to night

There are many different ways to style one piece of clothing and here I show how I took one shirt from a casual day outfit to a more glamorous night outfit with the help of a few other pieces of clothing.  (Very brief description thanks to my bf who wouldn't let me concentrate. lol)

To BB or not to BB...

So, as my sisters and I walked into Sephora I had originally planned on purchasing the NARS blush/bronzer duo but after my sister told me she had found a BB cream and after learning what it was I decided to try one out for myself. I bought the Boscia BB cream and I can honeslty say that I do not regret buying it one bit! If you don't know what BB creams are they're basically a primer, foundation, moisturizer, and sunblock all in one. BB creams originated in Asian countries and were used to help repair laser and/or surgery treated facial skin. At first I thought the BB cream wouldn't work that well for me because I have blemishes and acne prone skin so I didn't think it would give me enough coverage but it really does conceal everything very well and the best part is how light and natural it feels as opposed to foundation. I do still dab concealer on the areas I feel could use a little more coverage but that's is just for my preference. I also tried the BB cream my sister bought, which was the Dr. Jart+, but I didn't like that one as much as I liked the Boscia BB cream. The Dr. Jart+ BB cream, I feel, is for lighter skin tones. When I tried it on it made my face too white and it didn't blend as it said it would. (Most BB creams are "self adjusting to all skin types.") I do recomend the Boscia BB cream because I had a good experience with it and to me, it did everything it advertised it would. It may not work for other people but that's just because everyone has different skin.

Striped Sunday

First, I would like to say Happy Father's Day to all the dad's out there! This is what I wore to a small family get together at my uncle's house. I decided to pair this striped dress with this red blazer so it would give the outfit a pop of color and to keep it casual I chose sandals rather than heels.

To the Max(i)


Who says short girls can't wear maxi dresses?? I'm 5'0 and I think I can rock it just as good as a tall girl can! I've been on the hunt for a maxi dress for what seems like years and I found this beautiful royal blue and white maxi dress at Bells Outlet and I instantly fell in love with it. Because the dress is gorgeous on its own I paired it with some basic accessories so it wouldn't take away from the dress.
