Book of the Moment: I Let You Go

I have been waiting to find a good book to read this summer and I think I've finally found it!

I Let You Go, by Clare Mackintosh, seems to be the new The Girl On The Train. Same tragic, mysterious, plot-twist story that I have been loooving lately. Since I have just started, I don't have much of a feel for it yet. I will definitely post back on here for a Book Review post!

I am always looking for other good books to read on the beach, so if you guys have any that you have been reading lately I'd love to here your suggestions! Xoxo Steph

The Only Lip Product You Need This Summer

One and done.

When I come across a great product that you can't necessarily find everyday, I obsess over it. This lip balm is one of those products. Part of Trish McEvoy's Bronze Glamour Collection, the Essential Lip Balm is the one and only lip product you need to get you through the hot summer days. Needless to say, it is an absolute beauty essential. Whether you are rushing out the door, or looking for a pop of color on a beach day, this balm will complete any beauty look. You don't even need a whole face of makeup for you to look fresh faced with this product! It'll be worth the $28, I promise. You can thank me later. Xoxo Steph

Moving and Grooving

Yes, it is that time of year again... back to school! I love being back at school and in my own schedule but it can definitely be overwhelming and, not to mention, stressful. I'm doing my best though, loading up on caffeine and having a blast with my friends on campus!

To catch up with you guys a little bit:

I am a new Campus Ambassador for Intern Queen! I am so excited to be a part of the IQ family! If you aren't too familiar with Intern Queen, go to www.internqueen.com and check it out! It's a great website for college girls to get internships and also learn about internship experiences from other girls! I can't wait to get started and to share with you guys about all of the fun stuff I'm going to be doing for my own campus!

I hope all of you are having a great week so far (and yes, it is only Monday...). You got this. Power through girlfriend.

P.S. Here are some pics of my year so far. I'd love to hear from you guys!

Internship Comes to an End

Today was my last day at the Oscar de la Renta office as a production intern. I cannot explain how much I absolutely loved my internship. It was definitely one of the best experiences ever and I can only hope to be fortunate enough to be back in that office. Working in one of the most renown fashion houses was absolutely surreal. I have included a couple pictures to show you behind the scenes of my last day.

How are all of your summer jobs/internships going?! I want to hear all about them! Hope you all have a great end to your weeks!

Natural Makeup Look

Makeup will always be one of my loves. I find that it is one of the best ways to express yourself. I usually go for the more bold look - cat eye, contour and shadow. Today I wanted to try something different and try to go for a more natural look. Although I used most of my everyday products, I didn't go as heavy on the hand as I usually do. I substituted all eyeliner for a darker eyeshadow, even on my bottom lashes and think I will continue with this look for when I don't feel like putting on a lot of makeup. If you guys like this look and want a full tutorial video, let me know, I would be more than happy to do one for you all. I hope you all enjoy and all products are listed below!

Rejuvenating

Since my internship is only three days a week, my weekend starts now! We all know what that means.... shopping and relaxing! As much as I absolutely LOVE my job, I always look forward to the weekend to when I can take time for myself relax and then repeat on Monday. I treated myself to a trip to Urban Outfitters after work today and was in heeavvennnn. I think that this season has to be the best yet at Urban.
I always love winding down the week by reading all of the blog posts that I have missed during the week to catch up on what everyone is talking about. I also love reading a magazine or two to relax and keep track of trends at the same time. This weeks specialty was InStyle, and it was a good one. Having August issues on the racks can only mean one thing.... September issues are next! And who doesn't love a great September issue spread.
If you guys have any trends that yo have seen in the latest couture shows, magazines, etc., I want to heart about them! I hope you all had a great week and continue to have a fabulous weekend.

Live from the ODLR Office

During my work day I try to get as many pictures from the office to put on here to share my experience with you all! I hope you are all having a great week so far. Load up on that coffee we are almost half way done! I have also added a picture of all intern essentials for us at our office.
