Nautical Stripes

Hello lovelies!

I recently bought this dress and I love it! I don't have any nautical jewelry, so I just put on some of my delicate gold jewelry. I love that you can give this dress a casual or sporty look, depending on what you wear with it. Plan on seeing this dress again, maybe with some sneakers next time!

Dress: White Plum // Sandals: DSW // Jewelry: Gifts // Lipstick: L'Oreal Color Riche, British Red

Keep Calm and Carry On,

Floral With a Vintage Flair!

Hello lovelies,

This post is extremely late this week due to bad weather and recovery from a weekend-long retreat I attended. I have been fortunate enough to be included on the Catholic Youth Leadership Team for my diocese and got to spend the entire year working with who are now some of my closest friends to plan the Annual Catholic Youth Convention. It was such a blessed experience and I hope I can do it again next year.

But I digress. I was so excited to learn that this week's trend was floral because I had just received a vintage dress that my grandmother wore from my mom and I am absolutely in love with it! I have a huge crush on vintage-style clothing, especially from the 1940s-50s era.

Sandals: Born; Dress: Vintage, handmade, similar one here: Eshakti; Earrings: Handmade

This outfit is great for a busy summer day when you have tons of fun to get to, but you slept in! If your dress is a wrap one like mine, it's super quick to get into. All you need to do next is pop on some cute sandals, a pair of earrings, and you're ready to take on the world! For makeup I just did the basics: Foundation, Mascara, lip gloss and blush, but you could definitely play around with a bright red lip and a cat-eye for an extra retro feel. The messy bun is quick and a bit of a modern touch, but if you really want to go all out, you can add a headscarf and maybe even some curls!

I hope you all didn't mind the wait too much, I apologize again, hopefully my next post will be on schedule!

Love you,

Bridget

Trend Introduction: Pastels for Easter

Hello everyone!

Spring has sprung here in Maine with temperatures hovering around fifty degrees.  Lots of sunshine and experimenting with my warmer weather clothes, all of which must mean Easter is getting close! Only eleven days left. Easter is one of my favorite holidays and one part that I enjoy is getting all dressed up for mass and I imagine you all like that part too. Mercy, Hannah, Brooke and I will be here all the time leading up to the special day with outfit and beauty ideas to get you inspired and ready to celebrate the rising of Christ.

I've put together some various outfits on Polyvore to give you all plenty of ideas. Here you go:

I hope you all have a wonderful Easter,

love,

Bridget

Valentine's Day Eye and Lip Tutorial

Hello everyone! 

 

Where do I begin? Well, I always wanted to start a beauty and fashion blog with some of my friends. I thought about it for a while before deciding not to do it due to time and the work needed for it. 

When Bridget said we should start a fashion and beauty blog together, I decided to give it a go. I invited my friends Hannah and Brooke to join us. (They will be posting next week.) So here we are! I'm hoping this blog will grow and become very popular! 

Alright, down to the trend. This weeks trend was red and pink for Valentine's Day. Due to me not having much pink and red clothing, I decided to do a Valentine's Day eye and lip tutorial. 

 

 

What You'll Need:

 1. Concealer or eye primer (Used: L'Oreal True Match)

2. Highlighting eye shadow (Used: Naked Basics, Venus)

3. Pink eye shadow (Used: Maybelline Expert Wear, old; similar HERE, Seashell)

4. Purple or red eye shadow (Used: Mary Kay Mineral Eye Color, Sweet Plum)

5. Mascara (Used: Maybelline Volum' Express; The Rocket)

6. Eye brow liner (Used: Ulta Eye Shadow, Chestnut)

7. Concealer (Used: L'Oreal True Match)

8. Red lipstick (Used: Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer, Cherry)

9. Pink lipstick (Used: Maybelline Color Sensational, Mauve-ulous)

10. Clear lip gloss (Used: C.O. Bigelow Mentha Lip Shine, Cinnamint)

 

Eyes:

1. Do all your face makeup first; concealer, powder, blush, etc.

2. Apply concealer or eye primer to entire lid and brow bone area.

3. Apply highlighting eye shadow to entire lid, brow bone, and tear duct area. 

4. Apply pink eye shadow to lid area.

 

 

5.  Apply purple or red eye shadow to 3/4th of lid and crease area. 

6. Curl eyelashes. (I use THIS trick from TBD.)

7. Apply mascara on top and bottom lashes. 

8. Depending on how thick your eyebrows are, apply eyebrow liner or use eye shadow that matches your eyebrows and brush it along the thin part of your eyebrows.

 (Optional: Apply eye liner before curling eyelashes, for a more defined look.)

 

Lips:

 

9. Apply concealer around edges of lips.

10. Apply red lipstick.

11. Lightly apply pink lipstick over top.

12. Apply clear lip gloss.
