Fashion Items I'm Lusting For

Hello My Dumplings,

          When I was younger I had a real passion for all things fashion. It has been years since I felt this park. While this is amazing for my self esteem, and creativity it's not so great for the wallet lol. I went spring clothes     shopping already so I need to cool it for a while, but these are some things I'm dying to add to my wardrobe :)

A Denim Jacket
   I'm not sure if I want one in denim or black. I just know I want one. I would love to wear it with maxi dresses and other outfits as a finishing touch. I just think they are so versatile

3 Inch Nude Pumps
   I really want these specifically to go with my beloved lipstick dress. I just think they would add a real polished look, and make my legs look taller.

Belts
  I am seriously lacking in belts :) I want a silver one in particular, but I'm also looking for other neutrals.

Chuncky Necklaces
 I can not wait to hit up clairs and forever 21 to stock up on inexpensive statement pieces.

          What summer items are you lusting after? On a side note today is the day that the winner is announced for my mega beauty giveaway!!!! I'm pretty pumped.

                                                                                     <3 Jen

Cute Affordable Wedges For Spring & Summer

Hello Dumplings,

          Let's get ready for summer. Wedges are the perfect shoe for spring and summer. You can take them from pin up to tribal and everything in between. Here is a selection of what I love.

Nautical Number- These would look so freakin cute with some denim shorts and a striped shirt. They're actually on sale so if you like em go get em.

Mint Cuties- I wish I had the confidence to wear these. I would pair these with a soft floral dress that hits the
knee.

Tribal Fun- This is a statement shoe. I would pair these with a black romper and some chunky silver jewelry.

The MVP- You can wear these with anything. They would look amazing with rolled cuff jeans and a blousey hi low coral shirt.

Green Goddess- I love this color. I would pair this with a little white dress and a denim jacket. I would also paint my nails a matching green color.

Vintage Preppy-OMG these shoes make me wanna go on a picnic. I would pair them with white shorts and a denim shirt. I could also see these with a cute coral sundress.

          I hope you like my selections. Now I wanna go shoe shopping :) Also I have a ton of giveaways going on right now. If you wanna get caught up you can check out this video <3

       

Beach Bag Must Haves

Hello Dumplings,

          Summer is almost here! I am not a big fan of the heat, but I love all the fun summer activities. I am putting together a grouping of things I am going to be putting in my beach bag this year. Some of them are my own creations from my store, and some are from other stores.

          The essential piece is the bag of course. I found this Bag at Old Navy. I love the bright colors against the clean white background. I also think the sequense are gonna look gorgeous in the sunlight.

         Of course we need a cute Beach Towel I think this one from Target is so adorable. I love the cute little gold fish and the cool blue background.

          It's really important to stay hydrated in the heat. This Water Bottle is from my store. It is made from recycled materials and is crack and freeze resistant. I picked the Daisy design, but we have other designs available This one was just so summery.

.

          Of course you gotta throw in some cute Sun Glasses. These not only keep the sun out of your eyes, they also help shield your eyes from sun damaging wrinkles. I think this pair is too cute. I love the shape and that cute little bow <3

          

          Speaking of sun protection lol. I love the Kiss My Face brand. It goes on smooth and creamy. It blends in easily. I t feels like a moisturizer. It is also cruelty free.

          Janson Sunscreen is what I use on my body. It smells really good, its all natural and of course cruelty free.

          I looked through a lot of different stores for a cute Cover Up. I liked this one from Walmart because it looks very flattering on lots of different shapes, and it covers pretty well for modesty.

        Nothing say's beach glamour like a Big Floppy Straw Hat. These literally help make my summers so much more pleasant. I always feel so feminine and glamorous when I wear them. I love the black rim. It just adds a cute touch.

          I think I'm going to do some beach themed videos for my channel. This vlog totally got me in the mood. I hope you all have a wonderful day <3

Dare Party Animal Nail Polish Set

Hello My dumplings,

          I got this fun set as a birthday present from my Mom and Dad. I was super excited because I have been wanting to get my hands (and nails) on some neon polish for the longest time. My Mom is psychic lol. I had never heard of this brand before so I was really curious to try them out.

            These polishes are sold exclusively at walmart. They are cruelty free and made in the U.S.A. They came packaged together as a set. I threw my packaging out, but I found this image on google :)

           As a whole the set is really cute. I love the packaging. I think it would be so much fun to use these colors for nail art designs. I normally don't do this in my reviews but I'm going to list pro's and con's.

Pro's
They are very pigmented
They have a matte texture which gives you versatility
They dry completely in less than 60 seconds.
They are cruelty free.
They are inexpensive.

Con's
They go on splotchy.
You need 2 to 3 coats for the green to look decent.
The names aren't on the bottles.
They stain your nails.

         All in all I would say they are worth picking up. I think if you use a good base coat and apply them with thicker coats you'll be very happy. Here is a look at the individual shades.

Bold Move (neon pink)

Heating Up ( neon orange)

Social Magnet (neon green)

Natural Flirt (neon coral)

Social Magnet, Bold Move, Heating Up, Natural Flirt

With a glossy top coat

          I will most likely be creating some nail tutorials using these for my youtube channel. I hope you all have a wonderful day :) Don't forget to enter my Mega Beauty Giveaway!! I love you guys <3

Nyx Xtreme Lip Cream In Candy Land

Hello Dumplings,

          I purchased this product several months ago and sort of forgot about it. That tends to happen to me a lot lol. It is so much fun when you find a hidden treasure.

         I must say Nyx really knows there stuff when it comes to lip products. I have been really loving their stuff. The Xtreme Lip Cream is a glossy liquid lipstick. They come in 11 different shades and have a doe foot applicator. The texture is very smooth and creamy. They feel comfortable on the lips and last a few hours. The one I have has great pigmentation. They are available at Ulta for $5.99. I have already purchased another one in strawberry jam. I also have my eye on a few others :) They remind me a lot of the Bare Minerals Pretty Amazing lipstick. It's a similar formula and design. You can find them at Sephora for $16.

          Candy Land is a medium toned bright pink. It reminds me of summer and the beach. I have pale skin but I think it would look beautiful on anyone with a tan. It is an opaque color even with one coat. I've been wearing it like crazy.

          I hope you all have a wonderful day. if you would like to score some free Nyx products please enter my Mega Beauty Giveaway linked below. I love you guys :)
