Black and Tan Espadrilles

I am currently obsessed with black and nude espadrilles. They are the perfect shoe for summer, and can be worn with almost any outfit. They easily dress up white jeans and a t-shirt, they compliment sun dresses and they look fabulous with anything you would wear on a beach vacation. Black and nude are my favorite color for espadrilles because they seem to go with the most and are the most versatile for different outfits. So find yourself some straw bottomed wedges and be prepared for all your summer outfits to be taken up a notch.

Target has paired up with some amazing designers to bring all of us budget conscious fashionistas a taste of luxury at an affordable price, and I am particularly excited about their newest collaboration with Calypso St. Barth. Known for their resort wear and beach inspired looks, it is the perfect brand to bring to Target for summer. The collection will include women and girls clothing, shoes, jewelry, and handbags, as well as home furnishings.

Summer Beauty Regimen

With the summer heat headed our way it is time to simplify my beauty routine. Personally I love having a less "make-up-y" look and a more natural glow during the summer months, not only because I get to sleep in a little longer, but because my skin always feels so healthy without so much makeup covering it up. It is so important to wear sunscreen, and one of my favorite ways to start my beauty regimen is with some tinted moisturizer with SPF, it's like three steps in one! To give my face some definition I like to sweep on blush or bronzer on the apple of my cheeks. Finally I line my eyes and add a little mascara and I'm ready to go!
