Update: OOTD + Boyfriend

Hey everyone! Today, I'm just doing an OOTD and giving some updates. I've actually started packing for my trip, so I'm in the middle of that and I'm going out to lunch later today, so I have like no time. AHHH :/ Anyway, this is what I'm wearing today- to work and lunch. And before I forget: thank you so much for all of your requests! I know I've been falling behind on getting them posted, but trust me- I'm working as fast as I can to get everything done! Thank you so much for your support everyone!

So, here's my OOTD (NOTE: I give full credit to the original sources of these pictures. I do not in any way, shape, or form take credit for these pictures!):

Dress: http://www.lulus.com/ - $35

Shoes: TOMS Shoes - $58

Ring: House of Harlow 1960 - $50

I love this outfit because it's so comfortable! The dress is one I ordered from Lulu's and it's super inexpensive, which is always a plus! At first, I was going to wear wedges with it, but then decided to go a bit more casual as I'm doing tons of walking today! So, I paired my TOMS with it. I love this pair of TOMS especially because it's a bit more dressed up with the crochet detail, but still remains true to the TOMS orginal design. To add a bit of style, I added a simple ring from Nicole Richie's line (which btw, I LOVE!!!). For makeup, just a simple NARS Orgasm blush on the cheek. Plus a little Benefit Hoola Bronzer to contour. On my lips, I used my MAC Surf, Baby! Lipstick in Naturally Eccentric. As you can see, today was not a very exciting makeup day :( However, when I go to North Carolina, I'll be doing more interesting looks and will definitely post them!



So, to get to my summer stuff... Today, I'm meeting with Bentley for lunch. Did I mention he's my new boyfriend? I try to keep my personal life pretty protected, but with all of the support you guys have offered me, I feel like I should tell you how much that means! We've been dating for a bit and since I work with him, we always hang out. He's so sweet and is halarious!! Like, no joke- he can make me laugh at any given second of the day! If you want to know more about him, I can do a boyfriend tag later on. Anyway, he's coming to North Carolina with me, so I'm like even more excited for my trip :) I, again, want to thank each and every one of you for your support! The winner of the give away will be announced on July 15th. Thanks for entering and remember: invite everyone you know to enter!

Update: Huge Give Away!

Hey everyone! If you follow me on twitter or on facebook, you already know the news I'm about to share. So, I got a call last night from my boss telling me about this meeting that is happening in North Carolina. After telling me a lot about it, he asked me to also attend. The only bad part about this is that the day I was supposed to pick a winner is July 10th. On July 10th, I'll be on a plane (a long plane ride may I add, from North Carolina to Los Angeles...). Anyway, it would be very difficult for me to chose a winner not being on land, so I have decided to move the day I chose a winner to a later date. Instead of July 10th, I WILL CHOSE A GIVE AWAY WINNER ON JULY 15TH. It's only 5 days, so I hope everyone can just wait a little bit longer!

I seriously appreciate each and every one of you! I wish I could give every single one of you all of the makeup!

UPDATE FOR ENTERING: So I have decided to do a little referral thing. For every person you refer to this blog, you get entered an extra time. You must have them say somewhere- either via twitter, facebook, email, or here on the blog- that you referred them to my blog. If they say that, they will also be entered an extra time. It's a win-win situation! GET EVERYONE YOU KNOW TO ENTER BECAUSE IT WILL INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING! I hope everyone likes this addition! Let me know what you think!

If you have any requests for blog posts, please feel free to request them!

Haul with Hadley!

Hey everyone! So, I made a list of all of your requests :) For now, I'm just doing a simple haul post! I went shopping this week with my sister, Hadley, and well... take a look at how it went!

-- Alexia Admor Sequin Shift Dress [$298] I thought this was so cute and had to get it! It's a gorgeous color and the sequins are amazing :)

-- KORS Michael Kors Salinas Bootie [$112] This geometric design immediately caught my eye! I tried them on and fell in more love with them. I had trouble deciding between the black and the brown, but eventually just went with the black- my sister's suggestion.

-- LUSH Chai Spicy Shower Gel [$26.95] I LOVE Chai Tea, so when I saw this, I knew it was a match made in heaven! I haven't used it yet, but I cannot wait to try it out :)

-- Make Up For Ever HD Microfinish Powder [$30] I just saw this and decided why not give it a try? I was in need of a finishing powder anyway, so I hope this one works!

-- La Mer Moisturizing Cream [$135] Yes, I know this is expensive! However, I've read amazing reviews on this and my best friend, Leighton, swears by it! Plus, it lasts a long time :)







So, that's the end of my haul! Let me know if you guys want to see what Hadley bought! If you have any requests, just ask me!
