STYLE: My Spring 2014 LOOK BOOK - Casual Outfits

Look book videos are always huge undertakings and big projects for me, no matter how simple they may appear to be. I give major props to fashion bloggers because it is harder than it looks! The older I get, the less I dress up. I can be found in Lululemon pants and Wildfox Baggy Beach Jumper sweaters most days, meaning that changing five times in one day is an astonishing feat for me. Ultimately, I could not be more proud of the final result. Our little team put so much effort into this look book, so we hope you enjoy it! xo

Summer Beauty Essentials Haul from Sephora & Nordstrom + Accessories & Swim!

I love filming haul videos, and this one was really fun in particular because there is a little something for everyone here! The beauty section includes skin care as well as a limited edition piece from MAC. I know many of you wanted me to feature a product from one of their latest releases (since there have been so many), and the blush reviewed in the video below is my pick for the season. I also share with you some swimsuit pairings -- which are just ideas -- but I still hope you enjoy them and find them helpful! Last but not least, I shared with you some of the House of Harlow jewelry I had posted on Instagram. I really fell in love with both of the pieces, so check them out while they are still available!
