Elizabeth and James

Story Time.

This dress was MEANT. TO. BE. Orginally, this beautiful Elizabeth and James piece was close to $300, so when I went to Nordstrom Rack in Boston (why wouldn't I stop at the Rack?), it was $80. I hesitated for a long moment and decided against it. I came back home and could not stop thinking about the dress; a terrible regret. I searched for the dress like it was nobody's business, but no luck. Three months later I was in the great city of New York and yes, I went to the Rack in Union Square, and THERE IT WAS!! What's even better was that it was ON SALE with an extra 25% off! Since I'm a proud Nordstrom employee I get my discount on top of that so I got the dress for $30. I almost cried. So that's how this dress found it's way back to me. 

The End.

Sunday Mixed Prints

I love mixing fun prints together and so I couldn't resist putting my favorite top with this cute snakeskin printed dress. The key to mixing prints is paying attention to the size of the prints and color. So say you want to mix floral; a large floral print mixed with a small floral print would work. Focus on the color story as well; do you want to keep things tonal like how I did above? or do you want a more colorful color story? From my experience, anything with stripes do well together, but make sure you focus on the sizing of the stripes. Share with me your mix print outfits! GOOD LUCK!

The Koffee Addict X Lola Daisy Photography Pt. 2 : My Perfect Summer Dress

I'm a sucker for V-necks, but if there is a V-neck AND a V-back?!....I'm obsessed. I saw this dress and immediately fell in love with the pattern, fit, and how one sleeve is ruffled and the other is a spaghetti strap. Once again, thank you to my talented friend Stephanie Lopez for the beautiful photos!

 Thanks to my brother for handing me down this super cute tee because it shrunk in the wash! It's the perfect fit! 

National Lipstick Day

Yesturday was National Lipstick Day! In honor of this day, I want to share my two lipsticks I wear daily and can't live without! Pictured above is "Diva" by M.A.C. I love this vampy shade because it can be worn from day to night, it's extremely build-able, and is works great as a lip stain. Below is "Twig" by M.A.C. as well. This shade is my everyday wear. It's a great neutral and gives just enough color to brighten up your skin when you don't feel like wearing any makeup. 

My whole entire look in the photo's: (click on blue links for products)

• Bobbi Brown's Repair Foundation in "Warm Beige". Great product! This acts more like a tinted moisturizer with skin nourishing ingredients. It gives you a natural glow and has a light to medium coverage. I don't recommend it to people with oily skin. 
• Maybelline's Dream Sun Matte bronzing powder in "Matte Medium."
• Covergirl's Bombshell Volume by LashBlast Mascara. A magical mascara for you ladies out there with thin short lashes like me.
• Flower's Defining Brow Pencil in "Dark Brown." This brand is owned by Drew Barrymore and can be found at your local WalMart! This brow pencil is amazing because it fill in your brows naturally without looking overly done. It comes with a built in sharpener!
• "Twig" lipstick by M.A.C.
• "Diva" Lipstick by M.A.C.

Forward

Looking ahead to the next coming weeks I will be working on a few great projects for the blog and I can't wait to share them with you all. In the mean time, stay tuned and stay beautiful my Koffee Addicts! 

Simply Vera

(Click on blue links for items.)

I was strolling through Kohl's the other day and saw this beautiful floral summer dress from Vera Wang's summer collection for "Simply Vera" . It has four navy panels to create dimension and movement and is perfect for the day straight into the night. I dressed this down to work last week by wearing a denim vest to add some texture, paired with my favorite ankle boots by Hinge from Nordstrom. This outfit will probably be on repeat again and again this summer and I'm not even ashamed to say it. Ha. 

Summer Essentials

Here's a super mini list of my summer essentials. Click on blue links for items.

 Above is my one of my favorite summer lipsticks by Bobbi Brown in the shade "Calypso" with a creamy matte finish. The photo does not do the color justice. On me it looks more of a coral-ey orange and less pink. This is one of those colors that would look different on all skin types so I would recommend trying it on before purchasing. Overall, a great product to have to throw on when you don't have time to do makeup. Just a swipe of mascara, quick brows, and this lip would be perfect. 

One of my favorite illuminators! I have the "Copacabana" shade and am in love with it. I love to mix it with my foundation or tinted moisturizer to give my face that dewy glow. 

I am crazy about skincare. This Kiehl's concentrate does the trick when it comes to tired, dull skin because it restores the skin making it fresh and glowing by morning. Just 3 to 4 drops is more than enough and use your fingers to PAT, NOT RUB, onto your skin at night. You can also mix this with your foundation as well! 

Anything with an open back or lace (or both in one ) is my summer go to! It's the perfect thing to wear on those warm summer nights at the beach or for going out on the town. This top photographed above I purchased from Urban Outfitters. 

 

Silky silk shorts from Joie. I could live in them all day everyday. Dress them up with a cute top to go out in or dress them down in a simple white tee; they are the most versatile piece you could own. I like to pair them with a flow-ey silk top as well and it is the most comfortable thing I have ever worn.

How cute are these DV by Dolce Vita sandals? These are so comfortable and go with everything and you can't resist the fact that the print is made with a "hairy" material. ADORE. 

If you would like me to post more summer essentials please let me know!
