Friday Favorites

Hi Everyone,

I hope that you all had a good week. Tonight and part of Saturday, I am getting together with Andrea, Kathrine, Jill, and Laura. We have not seen each other since November, so I’m excited to see my friends. Besides that, I’m working on Sunday.

 

OK, let’s get into this week’s favorites!

 

 

 

1. Dress: I have a similar dress in black, but I might need this red one! You could create so many glamorous looks with the right accessories.
2. Corset Top: Never in a million years would I have thought that I would share a corset top on my blog, but here we are! The green is just so vibrant, and I love the sparkly buttons. I would wear this with black or white pants, or with jeans. I also think that if you wanted to create a bold and colorful look, you could wear bright blue or pink pants with it.
3. Earrings: These earrings are more appropriate for the summer, but I couldn’t resist sharing them now. I like the idea of wearing them with a blue and white striped button-down shirt and white jeans. Or you could wear them with polka dots or a bright color.
4. Ballet Flats: Everyone who knows me has heard me express my love for these flats. They are really comfortable, and I have had mine for 7 years, and they have held up incredibly well. Anyway, I love the neutral pattern on this pair. I would wear them with a simple outfit, such as a white shirt and jeans, that I wanted to elevate a little bit.
5. Handbag: This bag is available in a few other colors, but the bright pink is my favorite. It is stunning and perfect for the spring and summer.

Thank you so much for stopping by and have a fabulous weekend!

A Colorful Silk Spring Blouse

Hi Everyone,

I hope that you are all having a good week so far. We had a few beautiful spring days here, and I was finally able to take outfit photos. I also think that I might have found the perfect colorful blouse for spring. I know that something this bright and colorful may not be for everyone, but I am someone who loves bright and colorful things as well as neutral colors. Anyway, I styled this blouse with white jeans and ballet flats, but I think that you could wear it with a skirt or shorts. My favorite thing about this blouse is the detail on the sleeve. If you button it, you can see a beautiful purple floral pattern. If you don’t button it, it has a subtle bell sleeve.

Hi Everyone,

I hope that you all had a good week. I am working all weekend, besides that, I don’t have any plans.

 

OK, let’s get into this week’s favorites!

 

 

 

 

 

1. Dress: This dress would be perfect for your next vacation if you are going to a warm place. You could wear it during the day with casual sandals or even sneakers, and with strappy heels during the evening. I also think that you could get creative with your accessories.
2. Halter Top: This blouse is both chic and classic. I also think that this is very versatile. You could wear it with jeans or with a skirt.
3. Heels: This is the second week in a row that I’m sharing a mule heel. Who am I?! Anyway! These shoes are adorable for spring. The gingham is very preppy, and the daises are a nice whimsical touch.
4. Earrings: These flower earrings are so pretty. I love how delicate and feminine they are.
5. Handbag: This bag is so luxe; I love it. The colors in it are beautiful, and the tweed fabric is giving me all of the Chanel vibes.

Thank you so much for stopping by, and have a wonderful weekend!

Spring Dress Season is Here!

Hi Everyone,

I hope that you are all having a good week so far. The spring season means that it is time to start wearing dresses again. We get a few spring-like days here in Chicago, but besides that, it is usually chilly until the end of May. Anyway, I recently added this dress to my spring dress collection. I love the lilac hue and the bold floral print. It is also a midi-length dress. For reference, I am 5′ tall, so that is why it looks longer on me. Right now I am wearing it with my white sneakers, but once it gets warmer, I will wear it with my open-toed heels. I opted to wear my denim jacket over it for a casual look, but for a night out, I would wear either a moto jacket or a leather jacket. I would also swap the sneakers for a strappy heel.

Hi Everyone!

I hope that you all had a good week. This weekend, the weather is supposed to be beautiful, and I am looking forward to going to dinner with my neighbors on Saturday night. Besides that, I really want to take some outfit photos, and I am working on Sunday.

 

OK, let’s get into this week’s favorites!

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Dress: This mini dress looks so basic and simple, but I think that it is really chic.
   2. Heels: I like that they have a kitten heel, which makes them much easier to walk in, and I of course love the color and the sparkly detail on the front. I would wear them with jeans or with a skirt.
   3. Blouse: This blouse reminded me of a similar one that I had while I was in college that I loved. This one is much cooler and more modern, though. I would wear this with a silk skirt or with light-colored denim. Or, if you had a wide-leg pant, this would look great with them.
   4. Earrings: These earrings just made me smile. They are adorable, and I don’t think that you can be unhappy while wearing them. They also have a few other fun options, but I like the peppers the best.
   5. Handbag: This clutch is gorgeous, and I added it to my wish list. I love the darker coral color and the bow. I also like that you can wear it with or without the chain strap.

Hi Everyone,

I hope that you all had a great week. The highlight of my week was getting to see my best friend of over twenty years. We don’t get to see each other often because she moved, so I was thrilled to see her. This weekend I am not working, and we are meeting friends for brunch on Sunday.

 

OK, let’s get into this week’s favorites!

 

 

 

 

 

1. Denim Dress: This dress is so cool, and I added it to my wish list. I would definitely wear this a lot during the warmer months with sneakers or sandals.
2. Pink Top: Besides the color, I love the bold floral print and the statement sleeves. I would wear this top with either white or a lighter-colored denim.
3. Ballet Flats: The coral color is perfect for both the spring and summer. This is the type of flat that I would wear all spring and summer long with dresses, jeans, and skirts.
4. Necklace: This is just another stunning piece by Alexis Bittar that I wanted to share. I would wear this with a white top or something with a floral print.
5. Handbag: This handbag is so classic and chic; I love it.

Beauty Review

Hi Everyone,

I hope that you are all having a good week so far. Today I’m switching things up and doing a beauty-related post. These are just a few products that I have tried recently.

 

1. Loreal Revitalift Anti-Wrinkle + Firming Night Cream: I have tried so many night creams, and they are either wonderful but too expensive or they irritate my skin. Anyway, I have definitely noticed an appearance in my skin, and it is very hydrating. It also smells very nice.
2. Pat McGrath Labs MatteTrance Lipstick: My go-to nude/neutral lipstick that I have worn for years was not available when it ran out, and this one was recommended to me. The color is slightly different than my other one, but I love it. It also lasts all day, and the formula feels amazing. The color that I have is called Nude Venus.
3. Diorshow Iconic Overcurl Mascara: I decided to give this mascara a try after my other one ran out. It does everything that you want mascara to do; I love it. I wear a mascara primer with it, and it lasts all day.
4. Vitaman E Eye Mask – Sephora Collection: I saw these at the store, and for the price, I was curious, so I decided to buy two packages of them. I used one, and holy cow, these are fabulous! I know that it sounds crazy, but I couldn’t believe how much better my eyes looked after I took these off. They are also a fabric material and not gel, so they don’t slip off. These would be great to take while traveling, in addition to being used daily. I highly recommend them!

Have you tried any of these products? Thank you so much for stopping by, and have a wonderful day! XO

Hi Everyone,

I hope that you all had a good week. I am working on Saturday, but besides that, I don’t have any plans. I will go to Easter Sunday mass since I started going to church again at the beginning of Lent. I like going to the 5 p.m. mass on Saturdays because I always work on Sunday. I have not been able to go every Saturday, but I do go when I can. Creating that space in my heart and in my life for my faith has brought me peace. I still have things that I need to work on, and I will get there.

OK, let’s get into this week’s favorites!

 

 

 

 

 

1. Black Dress: This dress definitely has me thinking about summer. I would wear it with white sneakers and a denim jacket as a casual look, and with a leather jacket and heels for an evening look.
2. White Dress: I know, another dress! I added this one to my wish list. I keep seeing so many Chanel-inspired clothing items, and I love it. I would wear this for a night out or a special occasion.
3. Pink Shoes: These flats are adorable and are spring perfection. They would look so chic with a black dress or with jeans and a white blouse.
4. Necklace: This little flower necklace is so cheerful to me, and it would look nice layered with other necklaces or alone.
5. Handbag: This bag is so chic. I love the tweed border, and you can easily dress this bag up or down.

Hi Everyone,

I hope that you all had a great week.   I am working all weekend, but I still hope to have some fun and to relax.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

OK, let’s get into this week’s favorites!

1. Handbag: Now that it is officially spring, despite the fact that it’s still cold here, bring on all of the spring colors! Even though this bag is not practical for my city lifestyle, I love the style, and the color is gorgeous.
2. Sweater:  This sweater provides a fun twist to your classic striped sweater with the colors, and the scallop collar is very feminine. Right now, since it is still cold here, I would wear either a blazer or a leather jacket over it.
3.  Cardigan: I added this cardigan to my wish list even though it is not available in my size. This just oozes elegant Chanel vibes.
4. Heels: These floral print heels are the perfect heel to dress up all of your spring outfits.
5. Earrings: These earrings are a great way to add a touch of spring to your outfit.

Friday Favorites – Spring Edition!

Hi Everyone,

I hope that you all had a good week. This weekend I am working on Sunday but besides that my father-in-law is visiting us and we are going to try a new restaurant on Saturday night.

 

Since the first official day of Spring is this coming Tuesday, I decided to go with a spring theme today.

 

 

 

 

1. Mini Skirt: I added this adorable skirt to my wish list. I love lilac for spring, and the bows on it add a nice feminine touch.

3. Ballet Flats: These tweed ballet flats are so chic for spring. I love the peachy-pink color and that the detail on the front is a mix of gold and silver.
4. Earrings: These flower earrings would look so elegant with a simple black dress or with a bright colored top and jeans.
