The Beauty Products I’m Excited to Use This Spring

Hey everyone, I hope you had a nice weekend. Today I’ve teamed up with Nordstrom to share some of the beauty products that I’m excited to use this spring and summer. I’ll start with the Shiseido WetForce Ultimate Sun Protection Lotion Broad Spectrum SPF 50+ because SPF is an absolute must and not just during the spring and summer, but year round. The Shiseido WetForce SPF is perfect for wearing under makeup because it’s a lightweight clear formula that becomes more effective when exposed to water and sweat. And if you live down in the south like myself, sweat in the summer is inevitable so waterproof products are key. Speaking of waterproof products, mascara is no exception! In fact, I wear waterproof mascara year round because I getting dark smudges under my eyes. I highly recommend the Lancome The Monsieur Big Waterproof Mascara because it’s both sweat-proof and smudge-proof. I’m also a fan of large mascara brushes. I’ve also used the Diorshow Waterproof Mascara for 10+ plus years.

When it comes to everyday lip color, I love wearing a subtle nude/mauve color with a hint of pink and this Addict Lacquer Plump Lip Ink  comes in the best shades. Plus it’s long lasting and lip plumping. I love the rosy nude color and rosy coral shade too.

Frolicking around the streets of New Orleans during the summer is way more enjoyable when you don’t have to worry about smudged makeup! Who’s with me?

Pink Linen Blazer + Cutoff Shorts

Happy Sunday everyone, I hope you’re still making the most of your weekend! I just wanted to pop in share all the details on this Joules outfit you all loved I recently posted on my Instagram. I got so much feedback from this outfit, but I wasn’t able to link to everything with Liketoknow.it (aka my coveted pink linen blazer) so I figured I would share the links here.

First off, in case you didn’t know, blazers are having a huge moment right now especially in fun colors and prints like this pink linen blazer by Joules. I paired mine with platform wedges and a pair of cutoff shorts for a hint of edge. Then I knotted the front of my striped top to maintain the edgy vibe of the outfit.

My Go-To Look For Everyday Wear

Hey everyone, as most of you know, I live right outside of New Orleans and I recently realized that I don’t share enough of the Big Easy with you. So I decided that I’m going to start bringing you along on more of my NOLA adventures starting today with a trip to District Donuts. If you live in the area, then I’m sure you’re familiar with this delightful donut joint. If you aren’t, then believe me when I say that it 100% lives up to all the hype. Not only do they serve up mouthwatering specialty donuts like s’mores and salted caramel, but they also fry up some of the best chicken sliders I’ve ever tasted! Let’s just say I may have unbuttoned my jeans on the ride home after stuffing my face with fried chicken, waffle fries and s’mores flavored donuts!

Speaking of my jeans, I styled my distressed denim with cropped a classic Polo Ralph Lauren shirt, nude mules and a saddle bag. I knotted my polo shirt in front to maintain the edgy vibe of my ripped jeans and wrapped a striped, silk scarf around my handbag for some added style. I love wearing a simple white shirt with distressed denim and nude shoes because it always looks effortlessly chic. It’s always my go-to look for a day of errands and lunch in the city. Plus I love adding different accessories to easily change up the look for everyday wear. How would you wear this cropped Polo Ralph Lauren shirt?
