Splurge and Save

I love combining neutral colors with black. To me, it creates a laid back look, that still seems put together! You can go to lunch with your friends, run errands, or even do something work related in these looks! Even though both looks are perfect for most occasions, I would most definitely go with the save look! You would be saving $1,162 by choosing the inexpensive option! Much more money for other things! 

Splurge: Blouse - $353 Skinny Jeans - $254 Platform Sandals - $750

Save: Blouse - $79 Skinny Jeans - $76 Platform Sandals - $40

How to Wear: Floral Print

For the past couple of days now, it's been so cold! But that's according to my Floridian standards. I believe that anything below 70 is freezing. So go ahead and laugh, I know. Because of the weather, I've been dreaming of spring and summer. The warm days and cool nights. To keep my happy mood going, and pretending it's warm, I've put together three different ways to wear floral prints! With spring right around the corner, florals are the perfect way to welcome the season.

Review: Urban Decay Naked and Naked 2 Palettes

My two absolute favorites palettes are the Urban Decay Naked and Naked 2 Palettes. Both are available at Sephora, Ulta, and the Urban Decay site for $50 each. They both come with 12 eyeshadows, with only one, half-baked, repeating between the two and a shadow brush. There are more shimmer shadows than matte shadows, but I'm a huge fan of shimmer shadows, so that works for me. The quality is amazing for both! The shadows are very pigmented and look amazing! Naked is definitely warmer than Naked 2. You don't NEED both palettes, unless you're like me and will find some way to justify having both, which is perfectly fine. Naked comes with a sample size Primer Potion, which I have become extremely obsessed with! Naked 2 comes with a sample size Lip Junkie plumping gloss which is the perfect size for travel. 

Naked Colors: Virgin, Sin, Naked, Sidecar, Buck, Half Baked, Smog, Dark Horse, Toasted, Hustle, Creep, and Gunmetal (Toasted and Dark Horse are my favorites!)

Naked 2 Colors: Foxy, Half Baked (repeat), Booty Call, Chopper, Tease, Snakebite, Suspect, Pistol, Verve, YDK, Busted, and Blackout (Suspect and Pistol are my favorites!)

Swatches for Naked:

(Colors are in the same order as in the palette)

You can purchase both of these palettes at any of the following sites:

How To Wear: Stripes

I love stripes! They range across a wide variety of styles from causal to nautical to edgy. Stripes are extremely versatile, which makes them easy to wear! From the thickness of the stripes to the direction and color, stripes are definitely something to keep in your wardrobe!

Splurge and Save

Umm over $3,00 for a dress?? No thanks. I'll take the simpler, less budget crushing dress. Although the shoes are comparable in price, this just shows you that you can still save a little bit of money! There's only a $20 difference, but those $20 can go a long way! Now with the dress, I understand that the splurge dress is probably hand crafted with the finest materials that took a year to make. But why? In my opinion, it looks like they threw on some confetti and called it a day. The save dress is way more versatile and $3,193 cheaper. 

Fun fact: The splurge dress with sell in a hot second in the ballroom world. Having been to a few competitions, as a retailer, I've seen plenty of dresses like this that cost just as much if not more. 

Would you splurge or save?

Splurge: Dress - $3,299 Pumps - $110

Save: Dress - $36 Pumps - $89

My Nail Polish Collection

If I were to be asked what my biggest beauty obsession is, the answer would be nail polish! I have 67 different polishes, varying in color and brand. This collection is only about 1 year old. The brand that I have the most polish in is Sinful Colors. I bought all mine from Walgreens when they were on sale and I had a 20% off coupon. So I ended up getting around 46 polishes for less than $75. Not bad, not bad at all. But let's start with my smaller collections first!

Top Row: Opening Night, Teal We Meet Again, Read My Palm, Havana Dreams, Shiny Dancer

Bottom Row: Already Famous, Handpicked For Me, It's All About Me, Wild About Shimmer
