Fresh Picks

I couldn't be happier that it's Spring. That means that Summer is right around the corner! I love all of the ripe, juicy colors that makeup companies put out around this time of year. There's nothing as fun and youthful than hot pink toes, coral cheeks, and bronzed skin (of the fake variety of course. Always wear your sunscreen girls)! After Fall and Winter's dark moody colors, Springtime breathes new life into me.

I've accrued some great Spring and Summer items that I consider essential. Some of them I've had since last year, and some are brand new. Here are my top picks to keep you looking glowy and fresh.

Lancome's Corail in Love & MAC Dish it up

Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze & Chanel Illusion D' Ombre in Epatant

Bronzer!

NYX Mosaic Blush in Love, Benefit's Coralista, and M.A.C. Pink Swoon

Bright Nails!

What are some of your Spring beauty picks?

Zara Heels

Zara Basic Heel Court Shoe (Similar)

After seeing these pretty, practical heels on Veronika and my favorite blogger from Paris, I knew I had to have them. It was hard to justify another pair of black shoes, but then again, I don't own any with a pointy toe. Pointy toe heels and I never mix well, mainly because I can' t become accustomed to their severe look. These however are anything but severe. See how the toes are just a tiny bit rounded? And, at their modest height, they are really easy to walk in.

I had such a great time up north. It rained for the first two days, but the last two were gorgeous because the sun finally came out. I wish vacations lasted longer :)

Point and Shoot

Here are some random snapshots from the past few days. Tomorrow, my fiance and I are going up north to Pismo Beach and camping, so I won't be blogging again until we get back. Have a great rest of your week!

I picked up two eyeshadows over the weekend from one of the new MAC collections. Sweet Heat is on the left and Havana is on the right. These are really pigmented, shiny (not shimmery), and smooth. It's like liquid metal on your lids. I have been wearing them non-stop.

My cousin Mimi and I at Disneyland. She was visiting from Guadalajara, Mexico. It was my first time seeing her since I was 10! I love her, we have so much in common. She loves fashion and beauty products too. 

It was the most beautiful weather. I think we got a little color.

My Easter mani: Essie Mint Candy Apple and a glitter top coat on two nails.

I had to see Titanic in theatres again. It's one of my favorite movies of all time. One word - Leo :)

Tell me this isn't hilarious

Remix

Skirt - Old Navy, Cream top - F21, Blazer - Frenchi via Nordstrom (old), Peep toe heels - Zara (old), Gold necklace - Lisa Taubes, Bracelets - J. Crew, Michael Kors, Stella & Dot, Lips - Lancome Corail in Love, Nails - Essie Mint Candy Apple

As a fashion lover, it's so tempting to go buy new clothing all the time. However, as a girl who is working and saving up for a wedding/honeymoon/new home, it's just not possible for me to go on major spending sprees every week. That's when the remix comes in. Using your wardrobe and what you already own to your advantage, and coming up with new ways to wear a piece is such an enjoyable part of fashion. I love styling, and now that I have a rolling rack, it's easier then ever to pick things out of my closet and play around with color, texture, and accessories. I took this hot pink pleated skirt from Old Navy (originally seen here) and again used it as the focal point of the outfit.

I love this skirt.
