During the warm, sunny season I get a little bit more adventurous with my wardrobe. I have a more fun with my style than I do in the winter time. I love wearing bright colors, mixing patterns and prints, and leaning towards feminine aesthetics.

Happy Friday!! This week went by so fast, unlike last week when I thought it would never end. Not much happened this past week but I felt as if I didn’t have enough time in the day to accomplish everything I wanted to do. I still need to get shelves for my room (why am I putting this off I don’t know), and I didn’t do any of my graphic design online class.I’ll get to it soon enough! I did have time this morning to go the H&M flagship store on 5th to see the Met Gala dresses that are on display. A friend of mine created the exhibit so I went to support her, plus I wanted to see the dresses. H&M created Lili Reinhart and Olivia Munn’s just to name a few. (more…)

Every time I wear this dress I think of the Tom Petty song “Wildflowers”. Not only because of the pretty wildflower print, but of it’s easy feel. It’s not restricted, only cinched at the waist by a tie. The skirt was made for twirling, living the carefree summer life. A life among the wildflowers.

A dress, like this one from Kate Spade New York, is easy to throw on and you can wear it anywhere. Here I paired it with sandals but I would also pair it with my Keds or flats for a more casual look. Wearing floral dresses is a quintessential summer outfit. Right now I have a thing for such dresses that makes me feel the endless, carefree days of the warm, sunny season. Like anything is possible, life is full of love and pretty things. That is how I feel in the summertime.

When Olay invited me to be their guest at Beautycon over the weekend I was a little hesitant as I said yes. I never imagined going to the weekend long event. I am not a beauty blogger and I am the last person to give any sort of makeup tutorial. I didn’t think I belonged there. My knowledge of makeup is either stage makeup from my days of dancing or my current minimalist everyday look of only wearing mascara. I do add some blush, maybe a nude lipstick, concealer, and recently tapped into darkening my eyebrows a little when going to an event or a special night out. I didn’t know the difference between highlighting and contouring until a few weeks ago. Makeup is not really my thing, but skincare is. I figured at the very least I could go home with a few skincare products and enjoy a few fun vendors. I gratefully accepted Olay’s invitation knowing this would be an experience, one that I would not have sought out myself. And I want to say yes to as many experiences as possible.
