March Favorites

As this month comes to a close, I wanted to share with everyone a few of my favorites this past month.



1.  LancĂ´me's Tient Idole Ultra 24H Long Wear Foundation

I originally bought this to wear for dance competitions, but it blends so seamlessly and if I mix it with a bit of moisturizer or primer, it works perfectly for everyday










2. Too Faced's Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer



I'm not the type to get a lot of sun.  I slather on sunscreen and stay very pale for much of the year.  So, to bring a little bit of warmth to my face when I look like a ghost, I'll brush a little bit of this on, or I'll use it in the crease of my eyelid on low-maintenance days for a little color.  I think I bought mine a couple years ago, but just recently hit pan.  It's the perfect shade for me, and they also sell Milk Chocolate and Dark Chocolate.  (P.S. they do smell like chocolate, it is heavenly)







3. My GoPro Hero+

I have wanted a GoPro for the longest time, and my trip to Florida was the perfect excuse to buy one, I could bring it one Splash Mountain, in the pool, and all over the parks. I picked up the camera, a Lexar MicroSD Card, an extendable selfie stick, and the floating grip handle so I could bring it to Disney (remember: Disney banned telescoping camera grips, so make sure you get one that doesn't extend!)  Because the GoPro's shoot in super high resolution, they take up a lot of space on computers, so I would suggest an external hard drive unless you have a lot of cloud space, I found my terabyte of extra storage for Macs here at Best Buy.  Check out some videos I shot at Disney here!



4.  Zella Athletic Wear

I'm not gonna lie, I wear leggings more than I care to admit.  They're comfy, cute, easy, and you can find so many on-trend pairs at Nordstrom Rack for way less than everyone else is paying at Nordstrom.  One of my favorite brands is Zella, I love their tank tops, jackets, leggings, and everything in between.  I've been obsessing over this jacket and these leggings.  I will warn that these links take you straight to Nordstrom's website, but head over to your local Nordstrom Rack, it's worth it, I promise.  And for my long-legged friends out there, fear not, Zella's full-length leggings actually reach your ankles.



5. twenty one pilots


I know.  I'm a little late to the game, but I discovered TOP this summer and have been obsessing over them this past month (I'm actually listening to them right now).  If you haven't heard of them, put their songs on shuffle on Spotify and you will not be disappointed.  My favorite album of theirs is Vessel.  All the songs sound happy, but lyrically, they have huge meanings beneath their metaphors and stories.  




I know, some of you love them, some of you can't stand them, but I love mine.  The weather in Virginia recently has been... confusing.  In the low-70's one day and snowing two days later.  To cope with  this, I've been rocking ripped jeans or leggings and Birks.  Say what you will about the style, but no one can deny that this are the comfiest shoes in the world.  





That's all for March, fam

Dinner in Disney


Some of y'all may know I was in Orlando last weekend for dance team nationals (you can watch our hype video on YouTube!), and while there, I took the time to take pictures with my fellow bloggers, Taylor (Vividly Yours, on Blogger and Instagram), and Kendyl (gowiththekflo on Instagram).

The weather was beautiful, we broke out our summer clothes and soaked up the sun.

These pictures are from our first night, out at dinner in Disney Springs (previously Downtown Disney).  We ended up at Rainforest Cafe and had so much fun walking around, going into all the shops and dancing to the live music.  I picked up my dress from South Moon Under, my halter bra was from Pink, and I threw on these comfy gladiator sandals that were super easy to walk in all night.


On our last night out, we went to a fun, lively Mexican restaurant in Epcot, the San Angel Inn.  I found my black, flowy tank from Marshall's a few months ago so I could show off my flash tats and paired it with these amazing jeans from Hollister.  I stuck with the same sandals I've been obsessed with, and added this metallic Kate Spade clutch and blue-mirrored sunglasses from Nordstrom Rack. 



see ya next year, Disney,

Winter Faves











Rose gold sunglasses! I have been obsessed with these from Shevoke and have been seeing them everywhere! They're a perfect addition to any dreary winter outfit!







Black knee high boots are perfect when you want to wear a dress but don't want to be too cold.  I picked mine up from DSW and I've been wanting to wear them all the time, with dresses, skirts, shorts, leggings, and jeans.













Big, oversized cardigans are always a staple, and Madewell and Urban know how to make them.  I love throwing one over my outfit right before I run out the door, plus the stripes and burnt orange color make them different.






My philosophy? You can never go wrong with a Timex.  Watches add a touch of sophistication to any outfit and when you invest in a good, neutral one, you can wear it everyday! Find this one here.
