Sail Away

For some reason, I am always drawn to almost anything nautical themed. I wouldn't say it's the most chic of all the styles, but it's so youthful and fun. Here are a few nautical items that should get you excited for spring/summer!

Oscar Worthy

Let's interrupt our regular program and focus on the gorgeous dresses from the Oscars. I know everyone had mixed feelings about the show, but I actually really enjoyed it. I mean, it's the Academy Awards, it's not supposed to action packed? Nonetheless, it was a great night for fashion. My faves of the night are below.

Accessorize Me

So, I'm an accessories freak. Jewelry, bags, wallets, scarves.. you name it. But, I'm looking to update my accessory collection. I want to stock it full of statement necklaces, practical leather bags that can work for any season, and scarves that are pretty and just make me feel like a girl. Here are a few items I've found that I think will really do the trick.

1. Metal motion necklace $65 - http://www.madewell.com/

2. Suede skinny belt $39.50 - http://www.madewell.com/

3. Black oversize round glasses $32  - http://www.topshop.com/

Super Cheap and Chic Find

I am going use this header when I find something dirt cheap that you simply must purchase because it's such a great steal!

This simple knit dress is perfect for the season. It can be belted and worn on a warm, sunny day - or for those cooler Spring days, throw on a blazer and flats and you're good to go! Oh, and did I mention that it's $13.50?!

I'm purchasing as we speak.

Longing for Summer time.

The weather here in HOTlanta hasn't been so hot this winter. In fact, it's been frickin' freezing. It's currently about 30 degrees and has been pouring rain all week. Because of this heinous weather, I've decided to brighten my day with things that remind me of warm sunny days and the pure bliss of summer.

1. Blue onyx tear drop earrings - $92   http://www.giveapennydesigns.com/

2. Farmer's market tote - $42.50  http://www.jcrew.com/

3. Peach short sleeve dress - $95  http://www.topshop.com/

4. Leather toe thong sandals - $21.52  http://www.asos.com/

Lip Service

I'm excited to write a beauty post! Unlike clothing and accessories, beauty deals are a little more difficult to find, due to the fact that most beauty counters aren't giving out coupons or a certain percentage off. However, there are wonderful beauty stores, such as Ulta, that give out coupons and carry their own brands, which quite honestly, are pretty great. So see, there is always a way!

On to the point of this post. I'm currently all about the lips at the moment. Now granted, I don't rock red lips every day, nor do I think it is appropriate to do so, but I am a fan of lip glosses, sticks, balms, and pretty much everything else you can think of. This is mainly true during the winter because my lips are always, and I mean always, chapped - so annoying. There is nothing worse than peeling, red lips. Here are a few things that not only make lips look pretty and pouty, but save them from chapped misery!

1. Sugar Plum Tinted Lip Treatment - $22.50

2. Buxom Lips (in Trixie) - $18

3. Rosebud Salve - $6

4. YSL ROUGE lipstick - $30

5. DuWop Lip Venom - $16
