June Favorites


Hey guys! I can't believe we are 8 days into July already! Time just keeps flying by. Life has been crazy busy lately. I am still trying to adjust to my new schedule. I feel like I talk about that too much, but lets get real - it is a big change for me. I hope you all enjoyed your 4th of July holiday weekend! For Independence Day Brandon surprised me by taking me to the top of the mountain (Monte Sano) here in Huntsville to watch the fireworks down in the city. It was absolutely BEAUTIFUL from up there! I love firework shows. He can be such a sweetie pie!
... So lets get started on these items I chose to feature for my June Favorites!










-First I will say I have been a bag fanatic for as long as I can remember. When I was a little girl I would always carry a purse with me everywhere I would go. Even fishing. I have always believed that purses are definitely a must have accessory! So maybe I have WAY too many purses. Maybe I don't. My excuse is that they ALWAYS fit no matter what size you are ... and I think that is an appropriate excuse. For the month of June I was drawn to the color purple and blue ... as you can tell. I absolutely love my blue and gold sunglasses case I found at (I am sure you can all guess where) Target ... and how ironic that the picture of the sunglasses on the case literally looks exactly like my glasses from Anthropologie! Winning!
-The blue bag was found at believe it or not...WALMART. WHAT?! I know right?! They also had a beautiful bright yellow that I wanted, but the yellow handbag had a few scuff marks on it and I was afraid they wouldn't come off. I am not very careful with my bags so I just assumed that wouldn't be a smart purchase for me. But if yellow and scuffy is your thing ... then do yo thang girl.
-The plum clutch I purchased online from American Apparel. I have had my eye on this particular clutch for several years now. Like since 2009-ish. I fell in love on one of my trips to visit my aunt in NYC ... and to be honest ... I haven't been able to get the clutch off of my mind ever since. I'm just ridiculous like that. There are so many colors to choose from so it was reaaallllllly hard to make up my mind. With that being said I am sure I will have to purchase more colors in this bag. It comes in 3 different sizes.
-Shoes are the same concept as purses for me. I have a little bit of an obsession ... LOVING little booties right now ... even though it is getting really hot outside. I found the cowgirl booties at American Eagle on sale for $20!
-Believe it or not my dad purchased the gold sneaker wedges for me! My mom hated them. The sneaker wedges are from Target originally ... but there is a store here (Dirt Cheap) that gets overstock or damaged products (etc.) and lets just say it is my favorite store ever. haha. But seriously.
-Grey nails have also been a favorite of mine lately. LOVING how Morgan Taylor's "Birthday Suit" matches SO much of my wardrobe. It is a gorgeous grey based nude color.
-The beautiful B and pearl charmed gold bracelet is also another item I have worn almost every single day with my watch. My friend actually makes and sales jewelry here in the Huntsville area. They have a Facebook page (search for PRITI jewelry). There you can see some of the handmade items ... and I am sure you could message them if you are interested in purchasing an item or two ... or three! SO CUTE.
-Also I am sure you guys remember my post about my hike with my dad ... So when I arrived back home, Brandon had my this adorable rose gold necklace (since we all know I am overly obsessed with anything rose gold) as a gift for me! It is engraved L&L - which is for our puppy babies - Lexie and Layla. I pretty much haven't taken it off since. You can find similar necklaces of this style on Etsy all day every day.
-The perfume "Hello" is a little sample I received in June's BIRCHBOX and it smells OH-SO-DELISH. Pretty much have worn it every single day for the month of June. And July. If you don't already have a Birchbox account  ... you need to do that right now.
-Last but not least ... MAKE-UP! I did a post not long ago on the dip brow so I thought it should be featured today too.
-The nude lip combination is a Sephora Collection chubby stick and I love to combine it with a Tarte lip gloss in the shade "exposed". There are definitely many perks of being a Sephora employee. YAY!! I literally have been wearing this lip combination almost every single day.
-The blush and bronzer palette is by Sephora Collection. It is the combination of Los Cabos Bronzer | Blushing Pink Blush | Coral Punch Blush. I actually mix the blushes together some days for a different hue. LOVE.
-The highlighter is also a Sephora Collection product in the name of Star Dust. It is extremely comparable (if not even better to me) than NARS Albatross.

Soooooooooo that is pretty much it! What were some of your June favorites?
XOXO-
B
