Current Spring Wish List

Chanel Cream Blush // Celine Sunglasses // Kate Spade Salt & Pepper Shakers // Bean Boots // Tory Burch Key Fob // Tom Ford Nail Polishes 

( For some reason I can't get my links to all be one color, fail, sorry!!)

I have to say, it must be pink! I have been crushing on some of these items for quite some time and others, well, they are just to great not to share. I have wanted a pair of bean boots for quite some time and if you have to you know that they have been sold out everywhere for a while. I don't not which exact pair I want, I just know that I am dying to get a pair! Don't get me wrong, I love my rain boots but walking on campus in clunky rain boots isn't always great for running late. Hopefully, I will get around to getting a pair soon. A couple weeks ago I had to pick up some new makeup items (blogpost on that here) and spent a little too much at sake, so I received a coupon for $50 off a pair of sunglasses. Of course upon receiving that gift card I went straight to the sunglass area to take a look. I was shocked to see that they had Celine sunglasses an instantly fell in love with the pair above! They were gorge, like really stunning! I decided to wait and come back after I thought about them for a while. When I returned to purchase they only had one pair, the one's that were out for everyone to stick on their face, and they didn't fit! I was devastated. Now, I am on the hunt for a place to buy them since it is sort of difficult to find them online.
If you stalk the Tory Burch website, you are not alone (lol), you know that they have bags and accessories in this beautiful hot pink color, New Carnival. I have always wanted the key fob that is a small purse and now they have it in this beautiful hot pink color!! YES. Speaking of hot pink, Tom Ford has some beautiful nail colors for spring including the a gorgeous pink shade. I literally have so many hot pink nail polishes, the last thing I need is another one. But a girl can dream right? I have been dying to try Tom Ford cosmetics but I can't get them where I live and I don't always like to order online. But, while browsing online I found this beautiful Chanel Cream Blush in a neon pink from their spring collection.
Lastly, while looking around on the Kate Spade I found these salt & pepper shakers! Seriously, aren't they the cutest thing? I love gold and navy and polka dots too! They are so nautical and would be great for summer. I must save up!!

What is on your current spring wish list? I would love to know!!

YSL & Giorgio Armani Haul!

As you know, I have recently been on a "no buy" for makeup! I have been doing really good and have actually found other things to buy to satisfy my craving (yes I have come to the realization that I have a problem). The other day I had to buy some makeup because I ran out of concealer, bronzer, foundation and mascara all within like two weeks! So I did what was necessary and went to Saks! I left with completely opposite of what I had planned on buying and surprisingly  I am happy with what I got so far!

What I purchased..

Swatches will be at the bottom of the post!

(1) YSL Touche Eclat in No. 1 (2) YSL Multi-Action Concealer in No.1 (3) Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation in No. 2 (4) Giorgio Armani Eyes To Kill Mascara

With my purchase (of spending too much) I received a bag with samples! Lot's of perfume samples and a few skincare samples. I wasn't really too crazy about the samples, however I am interested in the $50 off a $250 sunglasses purchase! I just need to read the terms to see if they fit the pair I want!!

Have you made ay great purchases lately?

Where Have I Been?

MY LIFE.

Lately I have been, for lack of better words, M.I.A. I just wanted to pop in real quick and say that I am sorry for not posting as much, I have just been crazy busy with school. I have been at the library and doing homework nonstop! Thankfully, I start my spring break tomorrow afternoon!!! I could not be happier. 

Needless to say, I just wanted to thank everyone for reading my blog and to promise to get as many posts up in the near future as I can!

As always, if you have any requests please let me know! I would love to do them

Early Spring Cleaning "Organize a Little Space"

There is no better way to describe my makeup drawer better than a hot mess. It was absolutely horrible, and added in extra time to my morning routine of rushing out of bed to get ready as quick as I can and get out the door. I decided the best thing to do would be to clean.it.out. and that's exactly what I did! I took everything out, cleaned the drawer, tossed out old or things I don't use and put everything back in neatly, or so I think. 

I'm not exactly the best at organizing and keeping things clean, but I figured I would share a little update and overview of my makeup drawer! I do have a few other lip products in a separate drawer but for the most part I have it down to one drawer!

One of my New Years Resolution's was to not spend as much money on makeup and so far I have done very well. Let's just hope I can keep it up!

A few tips on what I did...

1. Take everything out of your drawer/container

2. Wipe it down and clean any containers and products

3. Throw out anything you don't use, that may be old, or that you want to give away

4. Reorganize and put everything in an it's place

5. Try your best to keep it there, lol (That's where I struggle!)

I hope that you found this post inspiring and motivating to reorganize your makeup space, or any little space! If you would like to see more of these "organize a little space" post's let me know!!

A Little Lilly & a DITL.

It has seemed as if today would never come. I am almost convinced that this has been the longest week ever! I am so happy it is the weekend and that I can hopefully catch up on some blogging and youtube videos! I have desperately behind and unorganized and for that I am sorry!

On a lighter note... I did a little shopping today with the help of a birthday gift card ( a big thanks to Jay's Sister and Parents!) and my wonderful mom! My mom met at school to have lunch at the best sandwich shop in the area! If you are ever in the Williamsburg are you must try The Cheese Shop ! It is simply incredible! Before we ate we quickly ran in the Ocean Palm store and I picked up a sweater and my mom got me a scarf. She is seriously way to nice and it truly just made my day for her to meet me for lunch and spend time together. I live at home so we do see each other everyday, it's just nice to enjoy a fun lunch in the middle of a stressful school day!

I thought that I would share some quick pictures of my day! 

I ended the night much later than expected. I some how decided to film a video which will hopefully go up tomorrow, so stay tuned! Of course, not relaxing night is complete without my favorite nighttime tea from Trader Joe's this is seriously the best!

If you like this quick little "What I did Today" impromptu style blogs let me know and I will do more! I must now get some sleep in preparation for Valentine's Day.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Snow Day Essentials

Is anyone else snowed in today? I'm not sure what the weather is like where you are, but I know here in Virginia it is snowing more than usual lately. I'm not a cold weather fan at all. I love summer time and warm weather! So, when it snows or get's really cold I must be bundled up! Aka.. I'm a scared of the cold! Since duty is calling I thought it would be fun to share some of my snow day essentials!

1. Tech Gloves
So they are probably not snowball making friendly, but for simple everyday errands they are perfect! Every girl knows the struggle of trying to text/tweet with gloves on = not happening. These change that!
2. Bean Boots
My current obsession. They are perfect for snow or rain and when paired with warm socks are pretty much irreplaceable, So I hear.... I am hoping I get a pair for my birthday on Friday! Keep your fingers crossed!! 
3. Kate Spade Beanie
I absolutely adore my Kate Spade beanie! It is so warm and fashionable. Mine is different from the one above and has a pair of sunglasses where the bow is and has bright colors. Fitting right?
4. Warm Socks/ Leg Warmers
Is as description even necessary? lol
5. The North Face Coat
Like the Kate Spade beanie I have a different North Face than what is shown but I think that this white one would be gorgeous in the snow! When the wind is whipping and temperatures are freezing nothing keeps me warm like my North Face!
6. Burt's Bee's Lip Balm
This is my hands down favorite "Chapstick." It works great and feels better. However, when it's to cold the cooling effect of the lip balm can be a little too much. Use in moderation ? haha
7, Caudalie Hand and Nail Creme
I have repeatedly mentioned this product on my blog and other places and probably will continue to repeat myself. This stuff is a must! It works magic on dry hands and cuticles!

I hope you enjoyed my Snow Day Essentials! Please stay safe!!
