I think this is my new Summer uniform you guys. An easy breezy button down adds polish to otherwise basic shorts. Except, these are anything but basic! The floral print is such a standout, and paired with my favorite raspberry pumps, the look goes from beach to dinner with hardly any effort at all. I've noticed that this season, I'm either wearing black and white or tons of vibrant colors! What can I say? It's all a balancing act.

What's you Summer 2013 uniform?

More on my upcoming Summer next week!

Little Luxuries

 I've always said that there's no better pick-me-up than treating yourself to some pretty beauty products. They must be completely unnecessary too, and the more spontaneous the purchase, the better :)

Stila Countless Color Pigments in Lyric - At first I wasn't sure what to do with this until I realized what a gorgeous shade of hot pink it would produce on the cheeks. I take a big fluffy brush, swirl it in the pan and apply it generously to my face. The warmth it brings is beautiful, and it really lights up my complexion. Other pigments in the line I think would be great as eye shadow, but lyric in particular caught my eye as a blush. 

YSL Rouge Volupte Shine in # 6 (Pink in Devotion) - This is my first YSL lipstick in this famously luxurious tube. The color is so vibrant in person, but the glossy stain-like formula makes it a bit more wearable. It literally glides on the lips and the outcome? Well, just beautiful, especially for Summertime. Last worn here.

Fekkai Glossing Cream - I swore by this when I was in my late teens and early twenties, and I have no clue why I ever stopped! One little drop and my frizzy hair is transformed into brilliant shine. I found mine at Target, but I've seen it at Ulta, Sephora, and online. 

What little luxuries do you treat yourself to?

Cardigan - LOFT

Bag - Michael Kors

Necklace - Target (check stores) (pretty option)

I love mixing pieces that are inexpensive with something that's a bit higher end. This black maxi tank dress was on mega sale last year from Banana Republic. It's such an easy piece to throw on, and the slinky fabric is incredibly light weight. It's so comfortable that I feel like I've escaped my bed wearing pajamas! I mixed it with my new MK satchel and it was a great way to kick off Memorial day weekend. More inexpensive maxi dresses are in my future. I think one in coral would be gorgeous :)
