Love these shirts from express. They’re super easy (machine wash and dry) while still looking professional.
Here’s how I dressed up the one I have in white last week for work and then an informal after work function.
I think this one’s my favorite. I like to wear it with this pink mini skirt from The Limited.
PS: Express has sales alllll the time so it’s worth waiting to snag these when they’re BOGO and $15 off.
Read MoreJust picked this polish set up. My friend bought the “Happy Birthday” shade for me a couple of years ago and “Candy Shop” is similar but with a pink base. Adorable. And… I just read about “Shape of My Heart” being one of the best pink shades. How sure is the little pouch? This would be such a good gift. I might buy an extra to keep on hand.
Read MoreI saw a white perforated tote that would have been perfect for summer from Kate Spade’s Saturday line, but I didn’t think it was worth $170. Then, I spotted this beauty from Nordstrom’s semi-annual sale and snatched it up.
Here’s the one I originally wanted:
Update: This silly bag is BLUE? Doesn’t it totally look white? I’m sending it back and on the hunt again.
Read MoreHere are a few things I’ve been reaching for now that the weather’s warm.
1. Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed: I first talked about this here. I have a lighter version of this product but this rose gold shade looks amazing when with a little bit of a tan. I put this on my cheekbones, cupid’s bow and a just a little on my forehead and chin with a fan brush like this one.
2. St. Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Mousse: I’m so excited to have found this! I love the way a spray tan looks and I like to get them before special occasions but found making the time to get an appointment inconvenient. I bought the little mitt to use with it and I just apply it when I get out of the shower. It’s super easy to use and looks great, but it doesn’t last quite as long as a spray tan from the salon.
3. Murad Oil-Control Mattifier SPF 15 : Another product I’ve mentioned before; his stuff has been a game-changer. I love that it’s got built in SPF.
4. Roses de Chloe: I loooove this scent.
5. Essie “Wicked”: I saw a girl wearing a dark burgundy polish recently with all white and thought it looked so cool. I love that it’s unexpected.
6. Make Up For Ever HP Pressed Powder: I don’t normally need to set my makeup but I started adding this as a last step in my routine to help my makeup last the whole day.
7. Diorsnow BB Cream: This stuff feels so luxurious, but it only comes in one shade so I can really only wear it if I’ve been using self tanner. Even though it has SPF 50, it doesn’t have that sunblock smell. I add this under my foundation when I know I’m going to be outside a lot. (When I’m at the pool, I use Algenist’s Ultra Lightweight SPF 50 to touch up.)

I love the “Call Me” pumps from Enzo Angiolini. They’re the perfect matte nude shade and they’re comfy! This is my second pair.
Read MoreWhile I love the scent of roses for skincare, perfume, candles (just about anything,) my favorite flower is actually the peony. My friend Lauren is an amazing artist, and she painted me this beautiful piece:
I’m so glad the wait is over and that they’re back in season. I was lucky enough to find some beautiful light pink and white ones at the local Farmer’s Market from Grow RVA.
Look how beautiful!
And I was happily surprised to see that Target had a new version of the Meyer’s hand soap in a peony scent. Lovely!
