Urban outfitters haul!

Dress- kimchi blue (80$ value and I got it for 10!!) I love this so much. I won't be able to wear it too much now unless I use a lot of layers but I'm so glad I decided to get it. The back is beautiful!

Peach colored button down by BDG. I thought this would be a nice transition piece into fall and a good back to school staple.

Sparkle and fade twisted back top. I love the back of this and I needed a basic tshirt! I love simple clothes that have a cute twist to them.

Pretty Summer Nude Lip Combo!

I tried out this combination of lip products the other day and fell in love with it for summer! It's fresh and not overdone.

 Here's the swatch on my lips.

The gloss on top is Estee Lauder Pure Color Gloss in Electric Ginger Shimmer. These smell AMAZING and aren't sticky on your lips. I highly recommend them, they're everything one could want in a lip gloss.

The lipstick base is Maybelline Born With It. It is such a perfect nude. It's not overly pink but it doesn't make lips look dead either.

I will be wearing this look a lot during the summer when I'm not taking advantage of bright reds, pinks and corals! Any lip favorites of yours for the season? xoxo Katie

Summer Lunch with a Friend-OOTD 6-5-13

I've never done an Outfit of the Day (OOTD) before, so this is my first shot! I hope it's decent. :)

I'm really sorry about how pathetic my camera and setup is. This is the best I can do for now.
Top: Jessica Simpson
Shorts: American Eagle
Necklace: Etsy



 I wore my hair down most of the day. I have a crazy lion's mane! This is a closer look at the necklace and details of the top.

Shoes: Shoe Carnival (I told you my toes were always red! :) )

 Closer look! My earrings were gold roses with pearls in the middle and are from Forever 21. This outfit was pretty simple but it combines the girly and classic aspects of my style. I love the lace and khaki and the way the turquoise and coral compliment each other. xoxo Katie
