Easter Wishes

Easter has finally come!  Our Lord is risen and the time of suffering and sorrow is over, hallelujah!  We celebrated the day by attending Easter mass, hunting for eggs & baskets (while wearing pants!  If you weren't aware we had decided to wear only dresses & skirts for lent) and eating waaay too much good food & candy!  After fasting for 40 days overeating is pretty easy to do, we will now be eating candy for breakfast, lunch & dinner for the next month or so.. Nothing unhealthy about that, right?  We hope you all had a wonderful and blessed Easter! 

"He is not here, for He has risen, as He said.  Come and see the place where The Lord laid."

Lip Gloss Love

I'm not much of a makeup girl, on the days that I do wear makeup it's typically only foundation & mascara.  One thing I don't go without though is ESO Lip Balm  & this Moxie Lip Gloss from Bare Minerals.  My sister gifted it to me as a "new mom" gift, it was in the One Hot Momma makeup bag and it's been one of my favorite makeup products since!  Actually, everything that came in that makeup bag quickly became favorites of mine, but the lip gloss is something I can't go without.  If you've been on the lookout for a subtle & beautiful lip gloss I highly recommend this one! 

P.S.

This adorable lace top is 40% Off at Loft right now! Win-win.

Floral & Stripes

Trying not to wear pants is becoming more difficult every day & these cold temps don't help much.  I know it's not "Colorado cold" here in Houston but 40+degrees is pretty cold for us!  So in trying to get creative with my wardrobe I've been wearing a lot of maxi dresses lately.  If you think that maxi dresses are only for the summer, I'm happy to report that you're wrong.  Tying a sweater over them at your waist or even just a long sleeved T makes them perfect winter wear!  And while it seems like spring will never come, I'm at least going to make it look like it with this gorgeous floral maxi.  I'm suddenly obsessed with print mixing and this floral & stripe combo is one of my new favorite ways to style the pair.  Oh and you can find the tutorial for my hairstyle here!

When in Doubt, Just Add Glitter

I don't know why but I am suddenly in love with all things coral.  It just goes so well with so many different colors and patterns, especially navy (as shown here).  And what girl doesn't love a great (and classy!) pencil skirt? 

I am trying hard to keep up with the "Skirts for Lent" challenge that my sisters started.  So, in keeping with that challenge, here is another office-worthy outfit that is both professional and cute!

You could wear the top tucked into the skirt or not.  I wore it un-tucked because this particular pencil skirt doesn't sit on my natural waist.

Glittery heels.  Because you should always leave a little sparkle wherever you go.
