Fashion Friday Link Up: Kimono Style Trend 2014

Happy Friday! Hope you have had a great week and you are ready for the weekend!

One of my new favorite fashion trends right now for 2014 are kimonos. They are hitting stores everywhere!

What I love about them is that they are light, delicate, flowy and have that bohemian look to them. Kimonos come in different styles, textures, and prints. The ones I try to look for are the ones that have the extra added detail of the fringe.

Have you purchased a kimono (or 2) (or 3) yet? If so what does it look like?

Hey....don't forget to link up your outfit below for Fashion Friday Link-Up!

Not only can you wear kimonos in the Spring, Summer and Fall, but you can also wear them in the wintertime too! Just wear a long sleeve shirt underneath! I am loving this kimono striped sweater and this sequined kimono one too.

Marie Natie All Natural Cosmetics

Today I am so excited to be collaborating with Marie Natie Cosmetics. What I really love about her cosmetics is that they are all natural and are formulated without any of the following ingredients or chemicals.

*Parabens
*Sulfates
*Synthetic Fragrances
*Synthetic Dyes
*Petro-Chemicals
*Phthalates

When it comes to makeup, I very rarely if at all think about the "all natural" aspect of it. I normally just buy what I like and most of the products I use are from Rimmel, Cover Girl or Neutrogena. To be honest though, after looking around on the Marie Natie website and researching what is really in the makeup that we wear really got me thinking. I wonder how much of that I actually put on my face! Kind of interesting when you think about.

Marie sent me one of her lip glosses and an eyeliner to test out. I fell in love with both! Their lip gloss is amazing! They gave my lips the perfect shine and shimmer and I love the subtle pink color too. I also got to try the brown eyeliner. It goes on really smooth and stays on all day long. Normally I wear black, but after trying the brown color, its kind of growing on me.

Be sure to check out the rest of the makeup products that Marie Natie has to offer here.

Do you use any "all natural" cosmetics? If so, which ones?

What I Wore: Gold Necklace Blouse

Happy Monday! Oh....I mean Happy Tuesday to you! Hope you had a fabulous weekend, whether it was a relaxing one or one filled with friends, family and lots of fun. Ours was filled with friends, family and lots of fun for sure! We we on the go non-stop this weekend and I loved every single bit of it! Friday night we ordered in pizza, relaxed and watched movies together. Saturday had a celebration for my best friend, Paola who is now a US Citizen and did a girls night out. Sunday we went to church then to Josh's parents for Sunday dinner. Yesterday we hosted a bbq/pool party at our house (such a BLAST!!) around lunchtime and then went to dinner and to get some yogurt with family. I would say our weekend was pretty fantastic if you ask me! This outfit that I am featuring below is what I wore for girls night out. I am definitely a big jewelry girl, so when I found this shirt that already had an attached necklace, I couldn't pass it up! I love black and gold together and this necklace definitely adds a lot to this plain black blouse to make it feel chic and stylish.
