Rounding up a few favorite fashion finds for Spring!

Cute Sunglasses love the mix of black and tortoiseshell!

How cute is this white lace top? 

This romper looks so comfy and versatile.

A cute caftan!

Target has tons of cute swimsuits in now! This blue crochet high neck bikini is cute!

Also at Target – a scalloped triangle bikini top a la Marysia swim and Kate Spade!

I got this ruffle bralette bikini top too!

Like the Chanel and Tory Burch espadrilles, but not the price? Sam Edelman has a copycat version under $100! YESSS.

I also love their gold version here too.

You’ve probably seen the popular Arc Bamboo bag – here is a copycat for a fraction of the cost. Perfect for upcoming beach vacations!

I just discovered that there are purse organizers.  WHY am I just learning about these?! This is exactly what I needed for some of my purses!  They are made of felt, so they don’t rub on your purse and cause wear marks.

There are several different companies who make them with slightly different variations.  I ordered two different ones because I couldn’t decide which one I would like better.

This is the one I bought for the Louis Vuitton Speedy purse.  You can see my glamorous picture below.  I like the three center divider in it – you can even fit a water bottle! It also has a little keychain that you can attach your keys to – no more searching for your keys (which are always at the bottom, am I right?)

This is the one I bought for my Longchamp Le Pliage and Goyard tote bag.  You can see it has a center divider with a zipper.   I tend to use my tote bags more when I’m traveling, so I thought the zippered compartment would be safer for my wallet.  Again, notice the keychain tie. 

Another bonus for this organizer is that it helps the Longchamp Le Pliage keep it’s cute shape! For both of these organizers, the middle divider/pocket is removable as is the keychain ring.

Now the size I ordered was the large size for the Longchamp Le Pliage large bag, but I put the organizer in my Goyard bag too, as pictured below.  There is some room still on the side, but I think I’ll be fine with it!  I just didn’t feel like ordering a hundred different organizers for all of my bags!

They are removable – so if you are switching purses of similar sizes you can just pick up the organizer and move all of your stuff with it!

They come in TONS of different colors and sizes! Like for Louis Vuitton Neverfull, Longchamp medium bags, really ANY BAG! Just measure your bag and find one that fits!!  I went with the tan color because, well, they were available for one day shipping haha!

I ordered these on Amazon with my Prime account in the morning and literally had them by dinner time that night?! THE SAME DAY. 7 hours later.  It’s so crazy that Amazon can do that! If you don’t have Amazon Prime – here is a link to a free  30 day trial. Also, this shop on Etsy sells them too  and I ALMOST bought them from the etsy shop but then… well, free one day shipping.

I was sitting over here thinking about how much I dislike January… it’s cold. The days are short. The weather sucks… (it rained all weekend and was sooo windy, we lost power for several hours!). The house looks so empty after Christmas is taken down.  And then the Golden Globes came on. Ok, the show was boring, but I don’t ever watch it for the show… I watch it for the FASHION!

So, it reminded me of something I heard once, when someone was asked “What is your favorite season?” and the guy replies “AWARDS SEASON!!!!”.

Emily Blunt in Alexander McQueen

Halle Berry in Zuhair Murad

Isla Fisher in Monique Lhuillier

Allison Janey in Christian Siriano. Every time I see Christian Siriano’s designs, I still can’t believe he was on Project Runway! I remember his season so well!

Danai Gurira in Rodarte. The way this dress looks when she moves is stunning!

Lady Gaga in Valentino. Not a fan on the blue hair but am a fan of the dress!

Catherine Zita Jones in Elie Saab

Lupita Nyong’o in Calvin Klein. Love how this dress moved!

Kristen Bell in Zuhair Murad. I feel her pouty poses ruin the look a little bit… I couldn’t find a single picture of her smiling in it!

Julia Roberts in Stella McCartney

Kiki Layne in Dior

Janelle Monae in Chanel. I know a lot of you won’t like this one either, but I love Chanel!

Constance Wu in Vera Wang

Gemma Chan in Valentino

Penelope Cruz in Ralph and Russo

Sofia Carson in Giambattista Valli. I know most won’t like this dress, but I love it! Not too many people could pull this off!

Octavia Spencer by Christian Siriano.  I love this dress, something I would wear!

Best Dressed goes to… Charlize Theron in Dior!

This look is so chic, can’t go wrong with black and white!

And I think the most talked about fashion item from the show was…. Timothee Chamolet’s outfit by Louis Vuitton.  The designer is calling it a “French bib”.  I think it looks like fancy suspenders.

There is unlimited reading from over 1 million ebooks and unlimited listening to thousands of audiobooks! I love my membership.

Lush and softly foaming, it’s pure relaxation.” YES PLEASE.

Moroccon Body Buff “A gentle exfoliating body scrub infused with rose petals that polishes away dead skin cells to instantly help revitalize skin. Argan oil blended with sesame, grape seed, avocado and sweet almond oils nourish skin with intense moisture”. Sounds delicious!

Sharing my favorite face masks that I’m using right now. I understand skin care can be quite personal, but these work for all skin types.

 

Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask

My take: I use this mask after night shifts and for jet lag.  Perfect also if you stayed up way too late one night.

Here’s what they say: This uber-dewy, hydrating mask soothes thirsty, stressed-out skin by steeping cells in a nourishing mix of vitamins, ceramides, antioxidants, and gently exfoliating extracts. Skin looks instantly renewed, radiant, and ready for anything.

Fresh Umbrian Clay Mask

My take – this clay mask I use one to two times a week.  It helps reduce the size of pores and balances my complexion.  My skin feels softer and smoother after this.

Here’s what Fresh says – Fresh Umbrian Clay Purifying Mask is a multi-functional treatment for normal to oily skin. Umbrian Clay has been used since the ancient Etruscans for its benefits. This instant purifying mask can also be used as a daily deep cleanser or to minimize small imperfections. It is proven to significantly reduce the appearance of pores and mattify the skin without drying out the complexion.  Umbrian Clay, Fresh’s proprietary ingredient, has a high mineral content that works to help balance, purify, and clarify the complexion. Sandalwood oil is known for its astringent properties and helps to calm the skin.  Chamomile flower and lavender water are notable for their soothing properties.

Charlotte Tilbury Goddess Skin Clay Mask

My take – I received a sample of this mask and I just wanted to rub it all over me!  This mask has clay and almond oil.  It made my skin feel so hydrated and happy after I was done – yes, an oxymoron for most clay masks. I am going to get a regular bottle of it.

Here’s what they say: This supercharged Goddess Skin Clay Mask is based on an ancient Mediterranean beauty recipe, which combines gentle yet nutrient-rich Spanish clay with Sweet Almond Oil, prized for its nourishing properties. What it does: Working with the world’s leading laboratories, Charlotte took this centuries-old remedy and added the latest anti-aging breakthrough ingredients, such as the BioNymph Peptide Complex to create a glow-giving formula your complexion will drink in. Spanish clay absorbs oil and draws out impurities without drying. Sweet Almond and Rosehip Oil nourish and delay signs of skin aging. BioNymph Peptide Complex boosts collagen production and improves elasticity. Essential oils create a smooth, hydrating formula that never feels chalky or dry. Frangipani Flower Extract boasts soothing antiseptic properties and leaves skin cashmere soft.

Fresh Rose Face Mask

My take – I use it when I feel my skin is a little irritated or dry and just needs to be soothed.

What they say: A cult-favorite hydrating and toning gel mask infused with real rose petals, soothing rosewater, and a “smart” algae that delivers optimum moisture. Solutions for:- Dryness- Redness- Pores.

Fresh Vitamin Nectar Mask

My take: I use this mask when my skin feels dull needs a little boost for some radiance.  Vitamin C is all the rage right now for skin care and this one has lots of vitamin C!

What they say: An instant glow face mask powered by a concentrated blend of 50 percent crushed citrus fruits that reveals radiant skin in as little as one use.Solutions for: – Dullness and uneven texture – Uneven skin tone If you want to know more…Get glowing skin instantly with Fresh Vitamin Nectar Vibrancy-Boosting Face Mask. This powerhouse treatment improves the skin’s radiance and glow by 31 percent after one use, and by 49 percent after four weeks of use. The revolutionary formula is powered by 50 percent real crushed citrus fruits including oranges, lemons, and clementines, naturally containing AHA fruit acids that work to gently refine and smooth the skin. This fruit blend comes in the form of a paste, which is made from lemons cultivated in the Mediterranean region—providing double exfoliation by offering a pleasant scrub, while the AHA fruit acid content offers a chemical peeling effect

Glamglow Supermud

My take: I use this when I’m having a bad break out.  It smells terrible but totally helps my skin.

A face mask designed to visibly clear the complexion.Who it’s for: Ideal for normal, oily or combination skin types.What it does: The SUPERMUD Clearing Treatment was developed to address common skin concerns, which include blemishes, redness, scars, razor bumps and ingrown hair. The potent mud formula supports skin’s natural oil balance, while a proprietary blend of six acids (glycolic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, mandelic acid, pyruvic acid and tartaric acid) work to help minimize pores and create clearer skin. Activated-X charcoal lifts away dirt and other skin congestions, resulting in a refined, healthy-looking complexion.
