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

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!

P.S. Sorry for the horrible quality,  I tried my best to capture the best effect of this look!

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.

Thoughts?

Here I go. BIRKENSTOCKS. I need your help peeps. I am not sure of what to think of them yet. I am trying to decide whether I like them or not! They look cute on certain people but I can't picture myself wearing them, but they are so in that I am almost tempted to buy them! I need to know what you guys think. Do YOU have a pair? Do you like them? Are they comfy? What color should I get/should I even get them? PLEASE HELP! I am in desperate need of opinions.

Thanks guys!

What To Wear To Work

Hey guys! I had my first day of work yesterday and it was a BLAST! I had so much fun and had the perfect outfit. It was comfy but yet looked very professional and yet very stylish and trendy. If you can put all of those elements into a work outfit, you're golden. Xoxo Steph

My Second Home - NYC

Hey girlies! Today I took a trip to the city for some shopping and fun - TGIF! There is something about New York City that just makes you feel like you can do whatever you want. It makes you feel important. Somehow that feeling never gets old to me. Someday I want to live in the city to fully experience it. It also just makes me forget about any stress.
On my little adventure, of course I had to go into Zara because shopping addict. I picked up a ton of cute new pieces but more business casual since I do have an internship in the city this summer. Weee! I'll feature these new pieces in a later post.
What have you guys been up to lately? Any stores that I should look into for cute summer clothes?! I hope you all have an amazing rest of your weekend! Xoxo Steph
