Mani-Monday!

Hello Dolls!

I absolutely love when the seasons changed because that means a rotation in my colors that I wear! I believe a lady should always have her nails painted and nail color is very important when changing seasons! There obviously isn't a rule on what color nails to wear each season; but I have a few summer favorites (in no particular order) I would love to share with you all!

1) Sugar Daddy ~ Essie 

2) Pansy ~ Essie (Lilly for Target edition)

3) Bubble Bath ~ OPI

4)  Tangerine ~ Essie 

5)  Twilight Twinkles ~ Sinful Colors

Those are my top summer favorite nail polish colors. All of them to me describe a different element of summer! Hope you all enjoyed this blog post!! Let me know what your favorite summer nail polish colors are with a comment on this post down below!! Till next time dolls!

What's In My Beach Bag?

Happy Thursday Dolls!

With the weekend coming up, an opportunity to go out of town presents itself. Living in California, we all know that my idea of going out of town typically involves going to the beach; so here is what I bring with me in my beach bag.

The beach bag I am currently using is from Lancome. I have had this bag for a REALLY long time and I love how it still looks like new after all these years!

1) "Survival Kit"

The number one thing I MUST have in my beach bag at all times is what I like to call "My Survival Kit". The bag used for my kit is from the Lilly for Target collection in the print: "nosie posey". In this "kit" I have the following..

• Tissues
• Eye drops (I wear contacts)
• Lip balm from Burts Bees in peppermint
• Oil-absorbing sheets (Generic Target brand)
• Tide Detergent Pen
• Trident spearmint gum
• Feminine products
• Poo Pourri Spray* in the scent lavender vanilla
• Burberry Brit Sheer rollerball perfume
• Hair ties
• Band-aids
• Hand Sanitizer 
• Current lip color of the day (today it is Blushing Bud 705 by Maybelline)
  *Poo Pourri is a bathroom spray sold at Bed, Bath&Beyond, here is the link to the commercial.

Happy National Wear Your Lilly Day! ~ Haul

Hello Dolls!

So today is one of the greatest days of the year, National wear your Lilly day! (at the end of this post I will post my OOTD) As every Lilly girl knows, Lilly for Target launched their line in Target stores across the United States on April 19, 2015, which was two months ago. I forgot to blog about the experience and what I received so I figured today would be a great day to do so!

Experience:

Not as crowded as I thought; however, almost everything was gone in a matter of minutes, even though I'm in California. Inside Target it felt like a scavenger hunt because we did not know where everything would be, but once we found it, everyone ran for the Lilly!

I was the first one at Target! True Lilly dedication!!

Finally other people started to arrive, they were the mothers of girls from the southern states. 

Picture of my shopping cart, i did return some items because they were an impulse purchase.

And here is everything I bought...

Two towels in prints: "My Fans" and "Fan Dance"
Two flip flops in prints: "Nosie Posie" and "My Fans"
Toiletries case in "Fan Dance"

Two outdoor/indoor decorative pillows in:"Nosie Posie" and Giraffeeey"
Plate set with gold embrodery

Shift Dress in "See Ya Later"
Two eyelet shorts: one in pink, one in white
White sleeveless lace top

Makeup bag and iPhone 6 case both in print "Nosie Posie:
Essie "Lilly for Target" nail polish in color "Pansy"
L'oreal lip color in "Rose Melody"

Now..OOTD!

Top: Lilly for Target lace sleeveless top
Shorts: Pink seersucker scalloped shorts

Phone and flipflops both in print: "Nosie Posie"

I hope you all enjoyed my two-month-late-haul from the Lilly for Target collection! I honestly love everything I bought and I know a lot of people said that this collection isn't "real Lilly", but I believe it is because it's a collaboration line between both companies. Regardless if you think it is real or not, I absolutely think everything is so adorable!

XOXO,

Five Scents of Summer

Hello everyone!

First I wanted to apologize for not posting in a few months, I have been extremely busy with finishing up my first year of college (I'm not even done yet because for some crazy reason I have decided to take summer courses). Anyways point is that I'm back in the blogger world! (yay!).

Time has seriously flown by since I have last blogged to y'all! I really can't believe that is it almost officially summer. So because of that I have decided to do  "summer scents" blog and just share what scents I use during the summer season.

The Five Scents:

1) Daisy by Marc Jacobs

Daisy by Marc Jacobs is my all time favorite perfume! I love everything about it. It is light and delicate, but still has such a powerful sweet smell; perfect for a daily scent! Definitely one scent that works so well with the summer season that will leave you feeling so dainty and fresh.

2) Burberry Brit

This perfume is another favorite of mine! It is a sweet smelling perfume that might not have as light of a feeling but makes you feeling so delicious after a few spritzes! I typically would wear this perfume as an evening or professional summer scent. 

3) Tease by Victoria's Secret

This is the one scent that I wear on a daily basis (you can tell by how little is left in the bottle) that I always get complimented on. Tease has a sexy aroma to it that somehow is still acceptable to wear in broad daylight. If I am not wearing Daisy then there is a sure chance I am wearing Tease! I personally enjoy the body spray better than the perfume because of the size of the container; however, the bottle for the perfume version is so adorable! 

(on the top is the perfume bottle, I do not own that picture)

4) Couture Couture by Juicy Couture

I know this is not a "perfume" or a spray; however this scented lotion is amazing and I love it for summer time because we all need to stay moisturized in this heat! I really love all the scents done by Juicy Couture because they are add a delicate and fun feeling the second you put them on, and their scented lotions are not any different! 

5) Pink Friday by Nicki Minaj

Yes I know this bottle looks totally inappropriate, but don't judge a perfume by it's bottle! This perfume smells so amazing I was so impressed with Nicki's scent choice. It does not smell how you think it does because of the bottle. It made my top five for the summer so it's doing something right! 

So these are just my favorite scents, but I'm interested to hear what all of yours are! Do we have some in common or does you prefer another scent? Comment down below your response!

XOXO,
