Beauty Roundup - Drugstore Favorites

Earlier in the week my girlfriends and I were discussing beauty products and which ones were our absolute favorites. I loved hearing what everyone is using as I think they always look incredible and I am always game for trying something new. So while I have shared my favorite makeup products here, my top picks for dry skin solutions here and the best skincare regimen I have ever used {seriously buy this face oil if nothing else, I have not had any dry skin since using it}, I thought I would share some drugstore favorites that I am constantly replenishing and cannot live without.



This new Dove dry deodorant spray is my everything, not only is the scent divine, it has been so easy to apply, literally dry in seconds and hasn't gotten on my clothes.

Full fledge lipgloss addict here. When I am running low on my favorite gloss or just want a light makeup day i.e. going to the gym but don't want to look ghostly. I always line my lips with this lip stain then top with this tinted lip balm.

My new favorite way to remove makeup without burning my eyes or leaving behind any residue. The magic of micellar water and it's little magnets for removing makeup on your skin is the best product out there. Oh & my skin doesn't feel dry or stripped of moisture afterwards like so many other removers.

Winter time means major dry skin for me. I personally like keeping this body oil in the shower  I love to rub it in on damp skin before I towel dry and get a subtle sheen to my skin without feeling sticky. The scent is light and clean.

Biosilk saves my dry colored hair from looking fried. I put a dime size amount in my hands, rub together and work from the middle of my hair to the ends, avoiding the roots. It controls my fly-a-ways and tames my waves when they start becoming a bit unruly.

Ever since we moved this past summer into our new home I have been indulging in bubble baths at night. They are perfect after a long day and I love this bubble bath for it's relaxing scent before bedtime.

I have tried quite a few mascaras at all different price points but nothing tops this one in my book.

Since we are often on the go, I wanted some travel brushes that were compact and didn't cost a fortune, this set was perfect for me and comes with me on all our getaways.

The absolute best quick dry polish, especially needed for my favorite red manicure.

Tar-Jay

I think it's safe to say that Target is one of those places you go in for one thing and leave with twenty plus items. This was definitely the case for me when I went into the store a few weeks ago with the intention to stock up on household items and instead found myself in the festival dress below. I thought it was so cute for a summers night out on the beach that I also purchased it in black. I however felt that the ivory colored one would be better utilized as a blouse so I went to my local tailor and had him hem it for me. I am so happy with the results and this $30 dress is now one of my favorite items in my closet.

Holiday Gift Guide - For The Kiddos

I absolutely love shopping for my nieces year round but the holidays really give me reasoning to go more overboard then usual. However as they get older so does the gift giving, toys suddenly don't have the same appeal and picking out clothes is something they like to do on their own. I still give it the good old college effort and have put together a little round up of gifts for kids of all ages and below that a list of current sales and cute clothing items to score before they are gone on black Friday.


one - I think I am most excited about this company Budsies that takes your kids art & turns it into a stuffed animal...such a clever way to give something truly unique and treasure your kids doodles.
two - For the avid readers, this trio of Harry Potter books is truly for the collector.
three - Music is important in everyones lives so why not have an instrument like a guitar or piano that also looks good!
four - A stuffed animal & blanket all in one, perfect for the wee little ones.
five - Being afraid of the dark never looked so good. Is it bad I want one of these chic night light's for my room?
six - Don't you love when toys aren't an eye sore in your home. This little bubble rider is definitely one of them.
seven - For the little saver, these elephant banks would be a great gift with some starter money already in them.
eight - Is there anything better then a fort or a tent when you are a kid? I think not. This airstream inspired tent is sure to make playtime more fun for kids of all ages.
nine - Calling all creative types, get your DIY on with this adorable make your own butterfly.
ten - Babies love their binky's and this one is also has a rattle & clip so it's never lost, win - win.

Holiday Gift Guide - For The Pets

Yesterday as I finished packing up the car to head to NYC, I stepped in dog poop not once but TWICE and ruined a pair of my favorite flats. Which I dwelled on for my four hour drive to the big apple. As I called to tell my my mom the story, I instead I got my dad on the line who kept things in perspective by telling me "that's hilarious, wait till I tell Khloe & Kaiser". Which I turned into an opportunity to start brainstorming what I am getting those two loves of my life. So whether you are gifting your faithful companion or someone who has a beloved pet, there are tons of amazing presents to give to those furry friends of ours or those who are pet obsessed like moi.


one - John & I had a pet fish together when we first started dating, it's home was definitely not as chic as this one, maybe we should give it a try again!
two - I may not be a cat fancier but this scratcher is super chic for $50!
three - Calling all hipster dogs...this bone zone hat will help keep those ears warm all winter long!
four - Make travel on the go with your pet a breeze in this cute carrier.
five - Dress up your furry baby with this cute bow tie over the collar.
six - Merry Woofmas to all & to all a good night!
seven - Mac & cheese in the form of a biscuit for pooches and how can you resist those tartan tins.
eight - Travel made easy with these foldable bowls.
nine - What pooch wouldn't want to call this little teepee tent his own for nap time. 
ten - Toys are always appreciated by dogs of all ages and these plaid scotties are no exception.
eleven - A city essential for those people who actually curb their dogs, these little bag wallet's clasp onto the leash so you never forget them.
twelve - Your furry babies kibble will look far more appetizing in this adorable candy colored trio of bowls & canisters.
thirteen - I wish these little puffer jackets came in sizes big enough for bigger dogs, shouldn't they get to look stylish too?

Monogram Me

I love me a monogram, especially when I got my husbands last name, I was quick to change everything over to my new initials. It can make a gift feel more special when it's personalized and these days what was normally reserved for the preppy types, there are a lot of chic ways to have your initials in home decor and accessories. One of my favorite designers for leather goods Clare Vivier is killing it with incorporating personalization along with her stylish accessories. Some other favorites are also listed below.

Cash or Credit - Target Edition

Target is always a great source of scoring stylish and wallet friendly finds. Whether you are on the search for home decor, paper goods or fashion, they truly have it all. So I thought I would take on the challenge of finding some fabulous cash or credit styles that ooze the look of the higher ticket item without sacrificing the depletion of your bank account. After all isn't it great to to save a few bucks while staying on trend?!

Threshold

I have shared my complete admiration with the bar cart many times here on the blog but never before have I seen such affordable finds to create a chic entertaining area in your home. My in laws recently purchased some new dinnerware from Target that was part of their Threshold line and I quickly had to take a peak at what other goodies this line offered. I nearly died when I saw the bar section with all the fabulous gilded goodies below. While I adore my silver bar cart as it works for our current decor, my next one will most definitely be a brassy gold hue.

Weekend Wear - Target Style

I always try to mix high and low price points with all my weekly fashion posts but let's face it, as fabulous as that $500 cover up is, most of us cannot swing that hit to the good old bank account and if you are like me, if you can't pay cash for it, you can't get it! This leads me to todays stylish look with fashions all from my beloved Target. I always turn to Target for cute home decor but never knew just how great their clothing could be outside their famous collaborations. Check out all the details below!

Weekend Wear - Seaside Glamour

Last weekend while celebrating my cousins birthday at Sunset Beach I got some good people watching in. Besides this little beach resort is the fashion. Everyone down to the little kiddos is dressed to the nines. I personally love the idea of bringing a little sparkle to the beach or poolside and if I had my way I would sport the little ensemble below each and every weekend this summer.
