FAUNA CROP TOP: ℅ of Samantha Pleet SHORTS: Forever 21 (sold out, similar) SHOES: ASOS (sold out, similar) CLUTCH:Klear Klutch PHONE CASE:: ℅ Zero Gravity

I found it: the outfit I want to live in this summer! As you know, I am a huge fangirl over Samantha Pleet's designs - and this crop top is one of my very favorite pieces of hers ever. So imagine my surprise when, inside a little parcel from Samantha herself, tucked beside two of her beautiful lookbooks and a flower, was this crop top!!! ;_____; The graphic, tropical leaves that decorate this piece is paradisiacal and the scalloped hem is icing on the cake!

I decided to pair it with these simple high waisted shorts (that are SLIGHTLY shorter then I thought they would be…! Oh well, the parallels of shopping online), my trusty ASOS metallic flats (is silver a neutral? :*), and this darling flamingo printed Klear Klutch!

I can't think of a cuter, more apt for Spring/Summer print then pink flamingos and I have always loved the idea of a clear purse. Not only that, this clutch is truly beautifully made and is big enough to fit my important essentials - like heart sunglasses and my phone (which is outfitted in it's new Valentine's day candies covered case by Zero Gravity) AND a couple frivolities like my cute lipstick and compact (I love showing them off hehe)! I also adore this holographic version they have!


Two of Samantha's beautiful lookbooks and a beautiful fake flower like the ones featured in her S/S 2014 collection - finding these in my mailbox was like receiving a slice of magic from Samantha's world ♡


These were taken in my grandmother's beautiful garden - I just had to pick some of the stunning flowers and made a makeshift flower crown like the ones worn in Samantha's S/S lookbook! :*

I hope you are all had a nice Memorial Day weekend! Mine was low-key (read: boring) - but I did end up eating lots of ice cream and taking advantage of some sales. How did you spend yours? <3

DEAR CREATURES DRESS: ℅ of Hello Holiday SHOES: Forever 21 (sold out, similar)

There is truly nothing like receiving a parcel from Hello Holiday - especially when it has this darling Dear Creatures dress inside! Hello Holiday was built from the ground up by Megan and Sarah, two brilliant babes whose impeccable taste and style ensures every detail - from their instagram, to the product pages, to the layout, to the brands they stock - is perfect!

From the new spring line by one of my favorite brands Dear Creatures, this dress' full red skirt and crisp black and white stripes are a flawless marriage and make a dreamy sailor-esque dress!


(please excuse the cat scratches on my leg ahhh!)

I've had a pretty amazing week - the combination of sunny weather and getting on a better sleeping schedule has me feeling inspired, enthusiastic and productive! I've gotten a bunch done and even have time leftover for some DIY projects - I'm super excited n__n I hope you've had a similarly good week - and if not, the weekend is just around the corner! Muah <3

FLOWER GARLAND: c/o BeauxoxoDRESS: c/o Pylo
SUNGLASSES: ASOS (sold out; similar 1 & 2) • SHOES: ASOS (sold out; similar)

Good morning! After falling a bit behind for an avalanche of reasons, I have a string of new posts queued for you guys - yay! n___n The sunny has finally decided to grace us with it's presence after what I think we can all agree was the worst winter ever and I am so, so thankful and ready for spring and summery days!

I wore this little comfy number out grocery shopping and stopped by the park for some pictures yesterday - this dress by Pylo is truly my definition of the perfect summer dress! I love the gingham picnic-y print, full skirt and the dainty straps. Pylo is a relatively new e-commerance site that my friend Courtney helped build and I love it! They stock so many cute pieces n___n

I paired the sweet dress with my favorite ASOS metallic flats (I hope you aren't sick of these because I wear them pretty much 24/7 hehe) and this darling flower garland by Beauxoxo

Kisses! <3

FOTD: Strawberry Fields Forever

Monday, May 5, 2014

Just a little face of the day I whipped up for Powder Doom, the makeup blog I run! A very simple, retro inspired look that is comprised of drugstore products exclusively.

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream
What I wear when I’m too lazy to put on foundation, this bb cream is dewy without looking oily and has an SPF 30!

Revlon Matte Lipstick in Really Red
Here I’m wearing Really Red, a gorgeous strawberry red, and paired it with Maybelline Color Elixir Lip Color in Signature Scarlet for a glossy finish. I’m kind of obsessed with the lip elixirs and just might be taking advantage of the sale to get more… *cough*

NYX Liquid Black Liner
NYX ‘Milk’ Jumbo Pencil

What's on your face today? n__n
