Happiness Boutique

Necklace: Happiness Boutique

The Happiness Boutique recently reached out to me, and asked if I would like to collaborate with them. After reviewing their website, I couldn't say no. I LOVE their stuff! The Happiness Boutique carries a variety of beautiful statement necklaces, earrings, rings, bracelets and clothing such as dresses, skirts, tops, playsuits and accessories. They also offer FREE SHIPPING and has a fabulous customer award program.  

Their philosophy is: "We aspire to spread happiness and good vibes...We think of our [clothes & jewelry] as happy tokens, that you can touch and feel and that will remind you of beautiful things to appreciate."I decided to pick the Opalescent Statement Necklace. I love everything about this gorgeous statement necklace. I love how it shines especially in the sun, the quality is great and even though it looks heavy, its actually the perfect weight. I paired it with just a plain black top to make it really stand out. I am definitely going to be wearing this necklace all the time. Thank you Happiness Boutique!!

Yellow Blossom Maxi Dress

Good morning and happy Monday friends! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend with friends and family. It's been three weeks now since having baby Olivia (birth story coming soon) and I am still recovering from my c-section and trying to adjust to my new schedule. Being a Mommy is the best thing ever and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Life is good!

During the summertime, there is nothing that I love more than maxi dresses. They are easy to wear, light weight, breathable, and there are so many different colors and prints to choose from. I'm not going to lie, a pretty good portion of my closet is filled with maxi dresses.

I love this fun yellow printed maxi dress. It's bright, flowy, and I love the ruffled detail around the neckline.

Chloe and Isabel: Get a FREE Pair of Stud Earrings!

I was recently contacted by Erica who is a merchandiser for Chloe and Isabel to do a jewelry review and giveaway. First off....I've gotta say that jewelry reviews are my all time favorite just because I am a huge jewelry gal. I had the opportunity to model this gorgeous pearl and crystal drop necklace which I am in love with! Some things I love about this necklace is how long it is, how shiny the crystals/pearls are, the combination of the crystals/pearls and the quality of the necklace. Oh yeah...and the little additional detail of the bird charm at the top of the necklace where the clasp is.

Okay...okay...lets get to the FREE pair of studs part!

For the giveaway, if you spend $50 at Erica's boutique, you are entered to win a free pair of studs ($25-$30 value)!! When purchasing at her boutique, make sure when checking out in the notes section to add the word "giveaway" in order to get the free pair of studs. Happy shopping!!!

One other thing....head on over and like her Facebook page (mandatory)

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.
