Spring Closet Clean Out

Hi friends,

This is something I've been wanting to do for quite a few weeks and I just haven't had the time. I was getting so annoyed seeing my closet a mess, and all those winter sweaters crammed in. They had to go! I like to do this for every season honestly, that way it doesn't get too full looking and it keeps your wardrobe fresh on a rotation.

THE PROCESS

Basically I jut started on one end of my rack with the things that were hanging up. I started to pull out the obvious winter wear items. Every time you do this is a good time to really think to yourself, "Do I love this? Do I need this?" I get rid of so much stuff every time I clear out because I find things that I just haven't worn in awhile and they're juts taking up space.

Some of you may have watched the hit Marie Kondo series of Tidying Up. I tried, and really wanted to be able to get through the series lol. It was just too hard for me to stay engaged throughout an episode. I will say I enjoyed some of her techniques though. As I went through and started pulling things, the items that I was debating to keep or throw out I took a little bit longer on. Her method is to feel out the the item. Does it bring you joy? Do you absolutely need? If the answer is no, then you give that particular item thanks for the time that it did bring joy to you and set it aside to get rid of. This sounds kind of silly, but honestly it was kind of nice as I was going through my items to think of the memories of when I really did love something.

We all have to declutter time to time, and sometimes we make it more of a hassle than an opportunity. It's about flipping it and seeing the glass half full. I was so happy after I got my closet all done! It looked so nice and organized. I even found some new things I forgot I had within the process.

As for the things I'm getting rid of, I will be listing quite a few for sale. For those of you who use Poshmark (HERE) or Ebay (HERE) I've attached my profiles so you can easily check out what I got out there to sell. Now if you've been following me long enough you know this, but for my new subscribers I'm crazy anal when it comes to my things. LOL. So that pretty much means I've worn some of these things once or twice and I'm over it. Terrible I know. It's a surprise to people if they see me wearing the same thing twice. So everything I got out there is in real nice condition, and if it has been worn more I'm honest with you and have place that in the descriptions. There's nothing worse than shopping gently used clothing sites, and the seller fails to be honest and tell you that their item is a piece of crap. Then it comes in the mail and you're so disappointed. So no worries there friends, I wouldn't do that to you.

Spring Beauty Essentials

Hi my pretties,

With spring blooming all around us, it's time to freshen our things up. Let's play a little and bring in a few new beauty products that are top selling and a definite must for your collection. Some of these are my ultimate favorites that are perfect for spring, some are new that I'm loving, and the rest are things I need to get my hands on.

FAVES

eyeshadow pallet: Too Faced | face tanning drops: Drunk Elephant | wand: T3 | blush: NARS

These things are like my top go to products, especially as of late! This eyeshadow pallet is the best when it comes to your neutrals. So many pretty colors that mix perfectly together. These tanning drops work wonders too for spring and summer. I never like to put self tanner on my actual face. It makes me nervous incase it turns out bad and also makeup is always a hassle to match then. I prefer using these drops in my face moisturizer to get a bronze glow. They work extremely well and wash off at the end of the day. As for this blush it's the perfect flushed shade of pink to put on your cheeks! Gives you a radiating glow. Last is the wand set, and this is hands down a must! I've had my wand trio for years now and it's my bff when it comes to my hair. The best wand ever!

NEW

self tanner: St. Tropez | lip: Charlotte Tilbury | gloss: Charlotte Tilbury | scrunchies: Slip

Even though spring has rolled in, I haven't had the free days to really get to the beach so this self tanning lotion has really come in handy. I recently got this one because of the watermelon scent seemed fun. It smells great and works amazing. Gives a gradual tan if used nightly, and works great to extend your tan. Now these lippies are new new to me and I am loving them! The shade of the lipstick is the perfect soft petal pink for spring and the gloss has a soft pink translucent shine that looks great added on top.

NEED

bronzer: hourglass | serum: Volition | hair shimmer: Bumble and Bumble | highlight: Anastasia

Now these items I just want! I've heard a lot about this face serum, and plus it's pink and strawberries so I want to try it out, lol. Y'all know I'm obsessed with highlights and this one is brand new. I want to try it in two of the shades actually... hollywood and snowflake. Simply perfection. This particular bronzer seems like just what I need to top off my self tanning regime. It has soft golden shimmer throughout to give off a candle light glow. Lastly, the hair shimmer just seems really fun!

Darling Florals for Spring

Hi loves,

I hope you all have been enjoying the Spring season thus far. I know it's still pretty chilly for people in certain places. We even got a chill that came through Orlando this past week. The gloom and chill isn't keeping me from wearing the most darling things for spring though. Like this floral maxi skirt!

OUTFIT

skirt: chicwish | top: tobi similar HERE | bralette: target another fave HERE | shoes: target | purse: henri bendel | earrings: target | hair: t3 | lips: "Plumful" MAC

ABOUT THE LOOK

This maxi skirt is simply darling. The pink with the florals create such a soft look, and I love how flowy it is! Living all the princess dreams once again. The fact that it's high waisted is great too. Def made me feel more comfortable to pair it with this lacey crop of mine. I think the look together is so girly and dainty. Love it!

If you wanted to dress this look to be more casual though, I think it would be super adorable to style the skirt with a white oversized tee. Either tuck it in or tie it up in a knot. Then throw a jean jacket on with a simple sneaker or even a sandal. Bam you got yourself another look! I actually really wanna go wear this now and get pix to share lol.

I will say although maxi skirts can be so easy, I never think to wear them as much as I would like. Like they are so cute, but my go to are either leggings or shorts half the time. I thinks that's going to be a goal of mine for this season/year, to choose not the basic easy go to. Gotta mix it up every once in awhile. You never know, you may find a new favorite thing in doing so!

I wearing this in a small, and it fits perfectly. I have my outfit deets all linked either above or below ;)
