HOMEY HONEY: Bedroom Love

By: Amanda

I recently purchased a new mattress. I have been fun looking at new bed sets and headboards. I came across this one at Urban Outfitters and knew it was the one for me. Not only did this headboard get great reviews online, but it also looks amazing. My comforter happens to be the same kind of design and now when I sleep I feel like a princess. Doesn't everyone want to feel that way when they wake up? Compared to other headboards it isn't badly priced either. The best part about it is that Urban Outfitters has free returns on this item if it isn't quite what you expected.

HOMEY HONEY: Thirst Quenching

By: Amanda

I have been planning my son's 4th birthday party over the last couple of weeks. It all comes together this Sunday. I found this awesome water tank at World Market and plan on using them to house the beverages. I can't wait to put a little old world charm into the party, which is vintage carnival themed. These would also be perfect if you are planning a 4th of July party or just to have for yourself. These will never go out of style.

VINTAGE VIXEN: Sheer Beauty

I've been seeing a lot of sheer pieces lately- layered in classy and beautiful stylish summer outfits. This dress is a perfect example of how sweet and sexy and breezy a summer sheer can be! I love the stripes on the top and the pleated floral skirt. It is so cute how she's layered it over a black tank and little capris, but I would even try it over a shorter skirt or leggings. Loving this look!

COSMETICS CUTIE: Your Skin Will Beat the Heat

By Jen

It has been ridiculously hot and humid this week. Because of the severity of the temperature, I have been foregoing face make up in favor of a simple layer of SPF moisturizer. Although I am giving my face a bit of a break, I have not been able to escape the occasional beads of sweat and their accompanying shine.

Faced with shine, I turn to one product to help return my skin to its normal balance… Clean & Clear Instant Oil-Absorbing Sheets. These compact sheets can go anywhere and do the job of absorbing excess oil whether you are wearing make-up or going au naturel.

If you’re skin is facing extra shine this summer, invest in this budget beauty product. You’ll look fresh all summer long and your skin will surely beat the heat!

HOMEY HONEY: Oh, Those Summer Nights

By: Amanda

I love summer nights outside. I love that it cools down a few degrees from the humidity of the daytime. I came across these tealight holders and knew it was perfect for some outdoor nighttime lighting. Instead of candles I pop in some LED tealights so I don't have to deal with remembering to blow the candles out. It creates a great mood and ambiance. I am thinking of bringing them in the house during the winter so it can take me back to those sumer nights.

COSMETICS CUTIE: The Perfect Summer Glow

By Jen

I am not usually one for bronzer, but I got some sun over the weekend and decided I wanted to enhance my glow a little. Because I was out of my element, I decided to go with a bronzer that was basic and inexpensive. This led me to the Sephora Collection Sundisk in Copper.

This bronzer gives you a perfect sun kissed glow and if you have a natural tan, it enhances your skin tone and gives it some depth. Plus, this is a huge compact so the product will last for a long time and for $10, you can’t beat the value.

If you’re looking to give your skin a little something extra, try this bronzer. You’ll be sure to shine with that perfect summer glow!

A Shorts Story

By Jax

Maybe I'm just picky, but it's surprisingly hard for me to find shorts that I like.  I don't want your average pair of shorts.  I want cute shorts, different shorts, fashion forward shorts that will stay classic for years!

These shorts embody both.  they have the high waisted/pleated/cuff trend going with tried and true classic olive green coloring.  Also, belt included, BELT INCLUDED!  I love that belt!
