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!

Nighttime Skincare Basics.

I don't know how many times I've said this on my blog, but I'll say it again, Hi, My name is Kanree and I am a skincare fanatic. Having a great skincare routine is really beneficial no matter what age you are. It helps enhance your makeup look, gives you that natural glow and sometimes all you need is a swipe of mascara and a lip since your skin is that good. Here are my skincare basics that I have used, are still using, and HIGHLY recommend.

Top Left: Clarisonic 'The Oasis Collection' Mia 2. I've recently just purchased my first Clarisonic and can I just say that I don't know how I've survived without it. For those of you who don't know what a Clarisonic is; it's pretty much a battery operated rotating/vibrating brush that helps you cleanse your skin. Just simply wet your face, apply your cleanser to your face or brush and let the Clairsonic do it's magic. The Clarisonic cleanses 6 times better than cleansing with your hands and helps your nighttime skincare products absorb into your skin since your skin will be more receptive to the products after cleansing. I have noticed a change in my skin after only a week of using it and I couldn't be more happier. The photo above is the kit I purchased. 

Top Right: Clarins Cleansing Milk. No water needed! I use this in combination with my Clarisonic. This cleanser has a gel/creamy/milk/ texture and all you have to do is apply to your face and massage into your face then rinse. My first time using it I thought it was weird not using water, but I found that this product balances out my skin tone and makes it more radiant, not to mention it smells great. 

Bottom Left: Neutrogena Naturals Night Cream. This product simply hydrates and restores your tired skin from your long day. When I'm too lazy to do anything else to my face I put this on because I never go to bed without having at least some sort of skin care product. You can find this at your local drugstore.

Bottom Right: Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate. For intense skin repair I love to use this concentrate because it is rich in pure essential oils and distilled botanicals revealing vibrant skin by morning. Your skin will thank you. It's lightweight so you won't feel oily and all you need is 3-4 drops. 

If you guys have any other questions about skincare please let me know!

 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.

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! 

How To: Summer Layers

Sometimes I get bored of wearing the same old shorts and tank during the summer and am in need of layers. Here's a great summer layering trick! I'm sure every girl has a summer dress; so grab your favorite summer dress and a sheer crochet top; throw your top over your dress and voila! I've found this works best with a spaghetti strap dress and if you're feeling adventurous, choose a printed dress because that print will look great against the crochet texture. Add cute sandals or dress it up with boots and you're good to go! Feel free to share your look with me! I never want summer to end!

Lace Top: Nordstrom BP (long time ago)

Shoes: Dolce Vita from Nordstrom .

Headband: I forget where I got it from. Ha. 

Lips: Nars in "Vesuvio."

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. 

When I Met You in the Summer.

Top: Joie 

Bottoms: Levi's 501

Shoes: DV by Dolce Vita

Bag: Rebecca Minkoff

Watch: Micheal Kors

Bracelets: Alex and Ani

It's that time of year for being tan, short shorts, open toed shoes and summery tops. I wear my Levi's 501 shorts with everything and anything, all day everyday. I paired it with this beautiful silk Joie top with an embroidered scalloped sleeve detail to make the outfit more sophisticated and feminine. My shoes for the summer are theses amazing Dolce Vita studded leopard sandals. Yes, the leopard print is made with a hairy sort of material. I consider leopard print shoes to be a neutral so it can be worn with all colors and prints.

 On a side note, this style of sandal is a great second option to the Birkenstock. I tried the whole Birkenstock style, but it did not work out so well with me; it made my legs look short and stocky...nobody wants that. So when I found these, I loved how they were more sleek and who wouldn't love the studded sole? 

Nordstrom Makes Me Poor

If there's one piece of clothing that I love most; it would be any top with a V-Back, and if it had a V-Neck in front that would be even better. I think the V silhouette is so classic, sophisticated, sensual and is flattering on everyone because it elongates your body. While working (and taking shopping breaks) I stumbled upon both of these pieces and immediately had to get them. This suede peplum top is perfect for dressing up with a skirt or playing it down with your favorite pair of denim. I paired the top with this beautiful vegan leather full skirt to add texture. One would think that the fullness of the top and skirt put together would be unflattering, but these two pieces actually work well together, and can I just say, I'm totally loving this warm weather. 

Love Day

Happy Late Valentines Day! My February 14th was a pretty mellow one. I was blessed with the day off so I spent it at home with my boyfriend on Skype. We cooked dinner together and I taught him how to make a quick and simple stir fry since the poor guy doesn't know how to cook that much. Everything turned out to be a success! 

While shooting, this cute little guy came running over and started playing with us! His name is Rigsby! My heart could not deal with his cuteness.

What I'm wearing:

This is one of my favorite outfits to grab and go. You can never go wrong with a white V-neck and a leather jacket paired with your favorite pair of denim. Add a beanie and you're set to go. I'm wearing Frame Denim in "Le Skinny de Jeanne" which I love because they don't stretch out and are great quality. To give the outfit a little twist and pop I put on my hot pink Nike Free Runs perfect for Valentine's Day. This is a great way to dress up your running shoes.
