Happy 4th of July everyone! And, happy birthday, America!


I hope everyone is loving the long holiday weekend as much as I am. It is definitely needed. I did a little bit of shopping on Friday and I wanted to share the things I got. I don't do these posts as often as I used to, mainly because I think showing new clothes in outfits or doing reviews about the makeup I buy is more useful to you as readers. But, sometimes it's fun to just do a shopping post.

The obligatory "haul".

Gorgeous, flattering dress from Zara. It's part of their new collection and it was the last one in my size (small). I love the pretty lace. The cotton is extemely soft and it's so comfortable I could sleep in it. Don't worry girls - I won't.

I love the little keyhole in the back. The tiny button looks like an abalone shell. Can't wait to wear this. It's such a soft nude that I think I could pair it with just about anything.

How would you wear it? What colors/shoes/accessories?
 I'm thinking brights! Then with other neutrals come Fall.





This flowy chiffon top is from Nordstrom. Notice a nude theme?


Again, I'm all about the details.





From Ulta: China Glaze Shocking Pink (neon). Remember this post? Yup, still into the whole dayglo thing. I've been searching for Essie's Pink Parka, but can't find it. I think the China Glaze is close enough!

I also got one of NYX's new Soft Matte Lip Cremes and a trial size of Living Proof's No Frizz Wave Styling Creme. My hair is a frizzy bleeping mess this time of year and I am so tired of blowdrying it. Hopefully this is a miracle, but I'm very skeptical.

Reviews/swatches of everything to come!

I also picked up a couple more polishes, two very very special nail polishes. That will be my next post.

I can't remember how I stumbled upon Kris Nations. I've been over-the-moon for jewelry the past few months, and so I regularly frequent sites in hopes of finding hidden gems. Although I love bold statement pieces, there is something to be said about delicate options; dainty looks feminine and pretty. Easy to wear and to layer. Little necklaces don't need to compete for attention.

I love my California necklace. State pride all the way! I think it would be cool to collect necklaces from every state I have visited.



The clasp is unlike any I've seen.




Hawaii is next on my must-have list =)



Aside from loving my California necklace, I'm also loving the California weather. A bit steamy, and I know my hair is fighting the humidity, but I picked up this adorable floral top from F21 and it's such a cute way to beat the heat. I just love flowy tanks. The back forms a pretty T. I wore it last night to sushi.




Have a wonderful Friday!
