Hopefully your summer plans include some traveling. Here a few things I think would be worth packing.
Sephora’s “summerstash:” I love that this comes with a mini NARS laguna bronzer and the Josie Maran Cheek Gelee. I’ve been wanting to try that.
My favorite dry shampoo.
How cool is this bag? It folds out into a flat surface and then you just push everything to the middle and scrunch it up when it’s time to go.
I’ve mentioned this REN cleanser before because I love it. I think this verses a liquid cleanser would come in handy if you’re traveling on a plane.
These are fun if you know you’re going to have some downtime (maybe you’re traveling for business and staying in a hotel alone) and you want to do a mask while you’re away from home.
Read MoreMy friend was wearing these adorable sandals today, and when she said she got them from H&M, it inspired me to check out their site. Here are a few of the cute things I found.
1. Striped crop jacket.
2. Sandals.
3. Pumps.
And now for the home stuff…
4. I have no idea what this little bag is for, but isn’t it cute?
6. I’ve seen glasses with this design a lot or places but never a pitcher.
Read MoreLove 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.)
