FIRST BLOG GIVEAWAY: Shu Umeru-Me!

In celebration of my first official launch of my blog I've decided to do a fantastic giveaway for all my readers! What better gift to give then something that I absolutely cannot live without? Now this is a product, that even with all its hype, has definitely lived up to its name. I have stick-straight lashes that have gone through countless mascara brands and eyelash curlers in a painstaking trial+error process that I'm glad I'm done with.

Shu Umeru is actually no longer available in the U.S. so if you don't already have one in your beauty arsenal kit, it may be difficult for you to find. I could only find it on Amazon.com and the prices have risen because of their limited availability. So take advantage of my giveaway while you can!

I'll also be including a tube of my favorite Maybelline Define-A-Lash Mascara.

This is the only mascara that works for my lashes and I love it.

Thank you so much for all of your support! I really appreciate it and I love reading all of your messages/emails. This is just a small way for me to say thank you : ) 

Good luck everyone! 

The Essentials: Khaki Blazer

I'm definitely getting teased by the weather of Orange County. 80's one weekend and rain the next. Make up your mind! But I found a foolproof outfit that I could wear for either occasion and I just love the versatility of it. I think it's important to have some basic essentials in your closet and these are the pieces you know that will never go out of style and you can basically wear it with anything!  

One of my favorite pieces is this Elizabeth & James Blazer. I'm a huge fan of their line (so you'll be hearing me mention them a lot!) and their blazers are the perfect to-go piece without being too masculine. Please forgive the quality/lighting of these pictures. I took some quick pictures before I ran out. I just wanted to share with you guys my outfit!

Banana Republic Gold Necklace | Black Leather Boots 

O.P.I St. Petersburgandy | Korcula Laura Ring  

I love throwing on a great piece of statement jewelry. It automatically brings any casual look up to the next level.  Next blog I promise I will have better photos! : )
