Espadrille Envy

Lately I've been absolutely obsessed with espadrille flats. They are the perfect transition shoe from spring to summer and they go with just about anything! From boyfriend jeans to sundresses, they add that little extra something. So far I've only picked up a pair of classic striped ones, but after seeing the selection Nordstrom has, I'm pretty sure I'll be getting another pair. Nordy's is still having their half yearly sale, so it was definitely meant to be. My biggest problem is that I won't know which style to pick! So many options, which ones would you pick?!

Boyfriend Blues

Hope you all had a relaxing, sale-filled MDW! I know I did, definitely took advantage of those sales. I picked up these Gap Sexy Boyfriend Jeans on sale for 40% off. I think they're still 30% off online! So go get you some! I paired it with this cute blouse from Nordstrom and these Calvin Klein Caliana Heels for a more casual vibe. I've been looking for a good pair of boyfriend jeans for so long, and am so excited to have finally found some. They're so versatile and can be easily dressed up or down, you'll be sure to see more of them!

MOTIVATIONAL MONDAYS | Memorial Day

What better motivation than the brave men and women who defend our country?! I think a lot of us forget about what Memorial Day is really about. Sure, there are really great sales, but we need to remember that these honorable human beings sacrificed their lives to protect all of us back home. They were brave enough to put their lives on the line for something they believe in.

Pineapples & Leather

So the weather here in SoCal has been so strange lately. Last week it was literally scorching, and this week it's cooled down so much and almost threatens to rain! I mean, rain is typical for "spring", but there is no such thing in SoCal. The weather range is like hothothot (summer) to warm (winter) with like week of actual weather. But anyway, with the recent cool down, I was so excited for a chance to wear this jacket!

It's an Ella Moss jacket I bought on sale, and I never had the opportunity to wear it! It had really cute leather panels on the shoulders and leather trim, so I paired it with my FAVE pair of pleather leggings. I threw it on over my new Sincerely Jules Summer Collection tee. I must say I absolutely love that tee shirt, it's so incredibly comfortable. You'll definitely be seeing a lot more of it.. Anyways! To accessorize, I threw on this statement necklace that my sister gave me (Aldo) and it definiely dressed up the tee and leggings.

PS My camera decided to delete all the pics except for this one, sooo this is all you get! Sorry! 

What's In My Glam Bag?! | May 2014

Eva NYC | Therapy Session Hair Mask $12

Pacifica | Mineral Eye Shadow Duo 1 ~$6

Boo-Boo Cover Up | Concealer $20

Jersey Shore Sun | Sans Tan Anti-Aging Sunscreen $10

La Fresh | Travel Lite Face Cleansing Wipes $2.50

TOTAL ~ $50.50

It's time for my monthly Glam Bag goodies! Soo, I was pretty excited when I got my package in the mail and felt how heavy it was. But I'm not gonna lie, when I opened it I was a little disappointed at what I found inside. I'm pretty picky when it comes to skin care since I have pretty sensitive skin and that seemed to be the theme this month. The sample sizes were still pretty hefty so I can't really complain, but I don't think I'll be using the sunscreen or the facial wipes. BUT I am pretty excited about the hair mask, it smells AMAZING. I wish I could share it with you guys, and I can't wait to put it in my hair! The shadow duo is nice, but they keep sending me the same colors.. I've barely even touched what they sent me before. Overall, I'd give this month's bag a C+. I get that summer's coming and it's all about the skin care, but I'm hoping for something a little more exciting next month! 

Despite the let down, I still love my Glam Bags! They are SO worth it, 50 bucks worth of samples for only $10 a month! That's like two and half trips to Starbucks.. definitely justified!

MOTIVATIONAL MONDAYS | Eye of the Tiger

So I've decided to start a series called Motivational Mondays (original, I know). Since Mondays have such a dreary reputation, I'm hoping that a little inspiration will bring positivity to start off my week and yours! 

I've always been a huge fan of wild cats. Tigers, Leopards, Lions, Jaguars, you name it. Felines are so beautifully fierce and intelligent. It's no wonder why women are always been compared to them! Jungle cats are known to stalk their prey for hours before finally going in for the kill. Their eyes are so intense yet so majestic, it's hard not to be captivated by them. That's why I chose a tiger for my motivation this week. 

Lately, I've been having trouble keeping my eyes on the prize and am having a hard time staying focused on my goals. I'm hoping that channeling my inner feline will bring back my drive and determination. If it worked for Rocky, it can work for me!

@THEMOMENT | True Blues

With Spring well under way, I've really been breaking out the pastels. This year, I find myself reaching for light blue hues, which is unusual for me (more of pink/orange type of girl). There's just something refreshing about accent blues and it really gets me excited about spring. Blue accessories have mostly been catching my eye, and it just so happened that my mom brought me back some from her trip to Spain! To me, blues are crisp and fresh making them a perfect go-to for the season. What's your favorite spring hue?
