I have been LOVING bright bold lips lately! It is so chic for summer and brands have come out with some amazing vivid colors! My favorite to wear is NYX's Haute Melon. It is the perfect coral color! My love for Brandy started with these shorts which are sadly not available anymore, at least online! After falling head over heels for these shorts, I checked out her store. There are not even words to describe how amazing this store is! You will just have to go take a look for yourself! Oh, Kristen Wigg, you are constantly leaving me in tears! She is my favorite female comedian of all time. She completely stole my heart with her "Surprise Party" skit on SNL. If you have not seen Bridesmaids yet, stop what you are doing right now and rent it. You will not be sorry! I have known about The Civil Wars for a while now, but I just recently rediscovered my love for them! They have a sound and chemistry like no one else in the music business. They are breathtaking together. It is pure magic. Okay, I know, every weekly five I have done has had an animal for my favorite smile. but really? can you blame me?! This picture makes me especially happy because this puppy looks so much like my two dogs so this makes me extremely happy!

As some of you may know, Kylie Jenner is the Instagram Queen! She is always posting beautiful and artistic pictures, and of course, you can't forget the selfies! She is always showcasing her signature "Old Hollywood Glam" look that is completely mesmerizing. I have wanted to create this post for a long time and am finally getting around to it! Her is a complete list of the perfect makeup to achieve this beautiful look! 1. Foundation Kylie Jenner's main focus when it comes to makeup are the eyes and lips. So when it comes to foundation, she keeps it pretty simple. Her foundation usually has a matte finish.Make Up Forever's Mat Velvet + will not only give you great coverage, but also leaves you will a beautiful finish. 2. The Wing Now for Kylie's Signature winged liner! To achieve this look you can use a liquid liner, but for a more precise and clean wing, try using a jet black gel liner with a tiny pencil brush. You can even use a lipstick brush for the liner! The Bobbi Brown Gel Liner is well recommended for this kind of look and does not dry up as quickly as others do! 3. Brow Power The airbrush brow look is so in right now! Kylie is one of the many celebrities seen rocking this look. To achieve this, it is best to use a powder instead of a pencil. A pencil can cause too harsh of lines. You want your brows to be bold but still remain relatively soft at the same time. Anastasia Beverly Hills is known for having fabulous eyebrow products including the Brow Powder Duo. It comes with a darker and lighter color which is perfect for achieving an hombre like affect with your eyebrows. 4. Lipstick Kylie usually switches it up between two main colors, matte red and nude. For this look, she is going for a bright bold red lip. My favorite red lipstick from Mac is RiRi Woo, but since this is a limited edition color, Mac's Ruby Woo comes in a close second! Tip : To get a sharper appearance and make your lips pop, line them first with Mac's Lip Pencil in Cherry. 5. Lashes For Days Finally, time for lashes! Kylie has a "Old Hollywood Glam" look which doesn't stop at her lashes! She likes big voluminous and spread out lashes.Benefit's They're Real will give you the thick false lash effect without the falsies! The bristles at the tip allow you to easily coat the bottom lash line without going too far! 1. Make Up Forever Mat Velvet + Foundation, $36.00 2. Bobbi Brown Gel Liner in Jet Black, $23.00 3. Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder Duo, $23.00 4. Mac Lipstick in Ruby Woo, $15.00 Mac Lip Pencil in Cherry, $15.00 5. Benefit They're Real Mascara, $23.00 Being that today is TuesdAy, that means two things. Number One, we successfully got through another Monday! Number Two, it is the day Pretty Little Liars comes on! Which I thought was the perfect time for this week's Pretty Little Liars Style Files! This week I am featuring my favorite character, Hanna Marin. Her outfits on the show contain iconic pieces that make thousands of girls around the world want her style! Well I am giving you all of my favorite Hanna Marin inspired pieces and letting you in on my Hanna Marin "style breakdown". Enjoy! clothing We all know Hanna is known as the "it girl" at Rosewood High. Her style says nothing different than just that. She dresses very girly but always likes to add something unexpected and different which makes her outfits so unique! We usually see quite alot of embellishments and bling! The Grey Embellished Peplum Top fits Hanna perfectly, but we would probably see a bright blue blazer over top adding a pop of color! shoes You probably already know how Hanna rates her heels, the higher the better! She is all about her heels! Whether it is a pair of wedges, booties or strappy pumps, she will rock them! Though she does still wear the occasional embellished flats! The Steve Madden Wanting Wedge are my favorite pick for summer! They are a color that can go with any outfit and the platform makes these high heels easy to walk in! jewels Oh, the Marin ladies and their bling! Hanna is pretty much known for her amazing sparkly jewelry on Pretty Little Liars. She always makes a statement with her jewelry, but is very careful not too over do it! I'm in love with these Silver Deco Tassel Earrings that closely resemble a pair she wore on PLL! beauty Hanna's look just wouldn't be right without a smokey eye and heavy (and stunning!) black eyeliner! Other than the eye makeup, the rest of her look is very girly, especially her perfume!Paradise by Alfred Sung is the ultimate feminine scent that would be at the top of Hanna's perfume collection! Even the look of the bottle would fit perfectly in with the theme of her room on the show! 1. Clore Flats in Bone, $60.00 2. Fiorelli Warhol Barrel Bag, $61.09 3. OPI Kiss Me On My Tulips, $9.00 4.

Petites Ruffle Sleeve Playsuit, $68.00 You may think that skin type is the main factor in deciding which makeup is right for you. The truth is your skin tone is just as important, if not more than the type. If you have fair skin, for example, and you borrow your best friends makeup who has more of an olive skin tone, it will look completely different than it does on her. This is a problem many women make when choosing their makeup. Choosing makeup for fair skin is a little bit more difficult than dealing with darker. I have created this easy guide to help you with the daunting task of finding colors and formulas that are right for you. Primer When choosing a primer, it is best to go for more of a green base. This will combat redness that may come with having fair skin. This Make Up Forever HD Primer will color correct and create an even base for smooth makeup application. Foundation After using a green based primer to color correct your skin, there is not a huge need for a thick and heavy foundation. Instead, try a lightweight BB Cream. A BB Cream is an all in one product that is a primer, anti aging serum, a light foundation and also has SPF. This Physicians Formula BB Cream has SPF 30! Corrector Another problem women with fair skin have as well is dealing with dark under eye circles! I have tried for years to find something that truly works to correct this problem. After a long time I finally found my holy grail product for under eye circles, The Bobbi Brown Corrector in Light Bisque. A corrector is a great product for this problem. It has the consistency of a concealer but it is salmon colored which helps cover any purple and blue tones under your eyes. It works wonders! Powder A tip from some of the celebrity and high fashion makeup artists is to use a translucent loose powder when dealing with fair skin. Finding a color that works for you may be a little bit difficult. Going for a colorless powder that still gets the job done is the best for your skin tone. Blush For blush, you can pretty much go with any color. Two of the best colors with fair skin are Rose and Light Pink shades. Lancome has a great range of colors. Especially when it comes to Rose shades! Lipstick Now for my favorite part, Lipstick! I absolutely love the color Red on fair skin. It looks stunning! L'Oreal Colour Riche Caresse Aqua Lacquer Lipgloss in the color Endless Red is the perfect color and the formula is amazing! 1. Make Up Forever HD Primer in 1 Green, $34.00 2. Physicians Formula Super BB Cream in Light, $14.99 3. Bobbi Brown Corrector in Porcelain Bisque, $23.00 4. Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder in #1, $22.00 5. Lancome Blush Subtil Sheer in Sheer Amourose, $30.00 6. Loreal Colour Riche Caresse Aqua Laquer Lipgloss, $9.99 1. Zoya Remove Plus Nail Polish Remover, $9.99 2. Crazy Shine Nail Buffer, $3.99 3. Shaping Cushion File, $0.99 4. Lush's Lemony Flutter, $16.95 5. Essie's Fill A Gap! Ridge Filling Basecoat, $10.00 6. OPI Natural Nail Base Coat, $9.00 7. Essie Nail Polish in In The Cab-ana, $8.00 8. Seche Vite Dry Fast Topcoat, $9.95 9. Soap & Glory Hand Food, $12.00 clothing Spencer, as most of you know, comes from old money. When styling her outfits she usually will take vintage pieces that have probably been in the family for decades and alter them by pairing them with more modern items. In the show, her character is a big fan of cuffed skinny jeans or pants! Being a part of the Hastings Family, she gets alot of use out of button up blouses. The Striped Linen Blazer pictured above is a perfect representation of Spencer's Style. Her outfit would probably be mixing the denim button up with the Striped blazer over top, the sleeves would be rolled up of course! All topped with a belt around the waist! shoes Spencer keeps her shoes pretty simple! We usually will see her in a pair of riding boots, especially if it is in the fall and winter! But most of all, Spencer can't be seen without an amazing pair of Oxfords, such as these beautiful Asos Maddison Pretty Tie Brogues. They are fab! But if she is going for a more neutral look, she usually brings out a pair of plain brown oxford lace ups! jewels For jewelry, Spencer likes to keep it simple. A trend I have seen for watches is the "boyfriend watch" look. She likes larger watches that are simple and not so busy! This Kate Spade Gramercy Watch is right on point with something that would be found in Spencer jewelry Collection! beauty Now for my favorite topic, beauty! Spencer has natural beauty which means she doesn't need to over do it with the makeup. A light foundation such as the Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation, a touch of blush, and some mascara will do it! For perfume, you better believe she will be wearing a sophisticated light scent. Spencer is the type of girl to find one perfect perfume and stick with it! I believe White Musk by Alyssa Ashley is the perfect scent for her! It contains refined Jasmine, precious Rose, sophisticated Lily of The Valley and romantic Violet. A classy combination for a classy girl! A spritz (or five!) of this scent will leave you feeling like you have just walked out of the country club! 1.

Leaf Bead Bracelet Multi Pack, $28.00 There is a big difference between men and women when it comes to gifts. You ask a women what she wants and we rattle off a million things. Then go ask a man and what do you get? Nothing. A simple "i don't care" or "i don't know". I am here to break a man's mind down to see what they really want. After asking some of my close guy friends, I found out "simple but a statement" is what they really want. You look in a girl's sunglasses collection and there are all different styles, sizes, and colors. When you look in a man's collection, it is one simple pair. Keep this in mind when shopping for the man in your life, pick something he will use until it is falling apart! You can also take this time to use your fashion sense to persuade him into trying new things! When men shop, they buy what they know. Get him to try something he normally won't. Hopefully by creating this gift guide for all my girls out there, shopping for him can be a little bit more fun and a lot less stressful! Accessories Most times when you think of accessories you think of women's handbags, jewelry and sunglasses. But men can have accessories too! Great additions like these to a man's outfit can completely change the way he looks and pull the outfit together. One of my favorite pieces that men have been starting to carry over the past few years are leather duffle bags like this Libson Italian Leather Duffle. This would be great for a man who loves to travel. Cologne Believe it or not, men care about smelling good just as much as women, if not more! I don't think we have a problem with that though! One of my favorites is Desire by Alfred Dunhill. It has a very romantic scent with notes of fruits and woods with low notes of musk and vanilla. It is the perfect scent for date night! I would give it to him right before you go out for dinner so he can try it out! Shoes For shoes, pick a pair that can be dressed up and dressed down. He will then have more opportunities to wear them. For that same reason, also try and stick with a neutral color that will pair well with any outfit! These All Saints Leather boots are my favorite men's boots! They look great whether they are worn with jeans or pants that are a bit dressier. They are rustic and vintage looking. Love them! Apparel Girls, this is your time to get your man to try something new and stylish! One of the trends I am so ready for all guys to get rid of are baggy below the knee shorts! I can't even explain how horrible they look! Pick out a pair of fitted shorts that lay just above the knee, he will thank you once he see's how much cleaner and polished he looks. Please help put an end to those awful baggy shorts for everyone's sake! 1. Libson Italian Leather Duffle Bag, $345.00 2. Burberry Men's Check Stamped Round Dial Watch, $395.00 3.Ray Bans Original Wayfarer Sunglasses, $200.00 4. Fossil Jax Traveler Tri Fold Wallet, $40.00 5. Topshop Ben Sherman 'Joev' Desert Boot, $140.00 6. Desire by Alfred Dunhill Cologne For Men, $48.99 7. All Saints Snare Boots, $248.00 7. All Outfits are Available at Zara Man Happy Fourth of July dolls! It is sadly storming where I am at today. I hope that where you are it is sunny and bright! I hope all of you have a safe but fun Fourth of July. Though this day is about fireworks and cook outs also remember today is to celebrate this country. I feel so lucky to be here. Things may not be perfect but nothing is ever perfect. So as you are lighting sparklers this evening, take a second to remember what it all means and have pride! xoxo Believe it or not, the makeup world has gone high tech too! There are some pretty genius products on the market now. They may be a little bit on the pricey side but you get well over your moneys worth! Being that they are pretty expensive you need to make sure you do your homework. To make it easier for you, I have created a list of a few of the best high tech beauty products out there! These babies work wonders and have made it on my personal top pick list! ONE Clarisonic Mia2 Skin Clearing System This little machine has been seen in blogs and magazines many times over the past year. This is a 2 speed skincare brush that you use for 60 seconds, morning and night, with your facial cleanser. The brush comes in many different colors and you can purchase different types of attachments depending on what your skin needs. This specific cleanser comes with a wired charger, but you can also purchase one with a charging stand. This product runs for $100-$250 at Sephora. The system pictured is $149. $149.00, Sephora TWO PMD Personal Microderm No more expensive trips to the dermatologist office! This is your own personal microdermabrasion system. This machine uses Aluminum Oxide Crystals to exfoliate your skin making your face look clean and flawless while also creating a smoother application for your makeup. Each Kit comes with seven different discs for different intensities. It comes with 1 Extra Gentle, 4 Gentle, and 2 Moderate discs. It also comes with 2 cap sizes, one for your face and one for your body. This would be a great addition to your at home spa night! $179.00, PMD THREE Silk'n SensEpil Hair Removal System It is an amazing thought to one day be able to get in the shower and not have to shave a thing. That is possible, if you have thousands of dollars laying around which most of us do not have! This system is $500 but you can give FDA cleared laser hair removal treatments at home for a lot less money! Not only that but you also have control over the laser and can do a treatment whenever you feel like it. No more making appointment after appointment. It is convenient, safe, and less money! Not to mention, it is pink! $499.00, Sephora FOUR Michael Todd True Organics Eye-O-Sonic System This one is brought to you by the brand I am currently using for my skincare regimen! I use the Eye Treatment every morning and night. When I found out they have a eye tool to use along with the treatment I got very excited. The system helps your skin absorb the eye cream deep into your skin, much deeper than using your fingers. Though it is great to use the Michael Todd Eye Cream, this tool works just as great with any other eye cream you may have. I would suggest signing up for the Michael Todd's email team. They send out tons of coupons and let you know the latest deals which are usually more than 50% off most of the time! $107.00, Michael Todd True Organics FIVE Glo Brilliant Personal Teeth Whitening Device I personally suffer from painfully sensitive teeth. They weren't always that sensitive until I started using whitening strips. If you have that same problem or you just aren't seeing results, you should think about trying Glo. Glo, on average, will make your teeth five shades whiter in five days! You may think it is a rip off because you only get a 10pk of the solution in your kit, but each pack contains 4 applications which is all together 40 applications! The thin layer of solution also does not contain alcohol which is what causes your teeth to become sensitive! With this tool you don't have to deal with the mess and pain that you experience with strips! $199.00, Sephora It is true, I have a total girl crush on Emma Stone. She is absolutely stunning. I have always loved her makeup looks, but the ones I have been loving the most is when she wears softer tones. Emma's makeup is very versatile. You do not have to be fair skinned to be able to wear this. So I thought it would be great to share!
