Spring favs

I can't be the only one sitting at home planning outfits for the spring when there's more than a foot of snow outside....right?! As the famous Miranda Priestly said, "Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking." So it is my goal to stay away from florals so I'm not looking like every other girl. 

Long sleeve rompers
I die!!!! Rompers were big a few years ago and faded out. There's something about long sleeve rompers that can make you look relaxed or dressed up and I love that! I love a classic black one with some caged sandals. So excited to buy one of these. 
Wide leg pants
Can't even explain how much I love these. They are the perfect fall staple. I saw these a lot in spring collections on the runway. And for my short girls that love these, make sure you get a higher waisted and leaner flare to make your body look longer! 
Thick heels
I'm so obsessed with these shoes and I can't put my finger on what I love so much about them. The thicker heel gives it more of an edge and I love that

All natural facial scrub

Once winter comes around it's over for my skin! I'm really careful with what I put on my face though because I'm terrified of a break out or a reaction. I love scrubs but always been scared to use them on my face. I was so thankful to find an all natural DIY scrub that is so easy and works wonders!! My skin is so soft, I'm loving it. 

You'll need 4 things:
A little bowl to mix everything up in
Honey
Sugar
Lemon 

1. Put a little less than 1/4 a cup of honey into a bowl. I used raw honey which you don't usually find in stores. It has so many benefits and has anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral properties! Love! 

2. Put teaspoons of white sugar into the honey until it is the right consistency.
(I've heard of scrubs used with brown sugar but I haven't tried that yet!) 

3. I put a few drops of lemon juice into the mix because I thought it was a little thick and the lemon fixed that! 

4. Use as a regular facial as you would on your face and neck. Just make sure you don't scrub too hard! Leave it on for about 5 minutes to hydrate your skin!

5. Lastly I found washing it off with warm water made it a lot easier to come off! 

And you're all done! My skin is feeling so hydrated and much better! Ugh, can't stand a dry winter face!

January obsessions

I hate the cold but I love winter trends. These are 3 things I've been dying for in the month of January! 

Capes. 
I am on the hunt for a cape!! They make you look so chic and trendy. I'm making it a goal for myself to buy one before January is over. Perfect winter essential! 






Lace up boots. 
When I think of winter I think of boots. Put the uggs away and throw on a pair of tall boots and it makes you look so much more put together. I love the bad-ass look lace up boots give.

Structured handbags. 
It's no secret I'm handbag obsessed. I love a nice structured bag. I got my latest one from H&M and my older one from TJ Maxx. It was love at first sight! So perfect for the winter!
