Last night I found myself aimlessly roaming around the beauty-crack-filled shelves of Sephora. I knew that I needed new Bare Minerals foundation, but every time I'm surrounded by beauty products, I can't help but search for the new game changer for my skincare and makeup routine. Although I left with only the foundation (and maybe a new purse-sized perfume), I thought I'd share a couple of products that I've been loving lately. This 3Lab "M" Cream is currently my undereye saver. Definitely the favorite find in my #LuckyFABB swag bag, it is luxe and pricey, but oh-so-noteworthy. I apply it under my eyes most nights before bed and in the mornings before I apply my makeup. It hides noticeably tired eyes and has (I think) improved the overall quality of the skin under my eyes. After the seemingly miracle cream, I apply Olay's tone correcting CC Cream. Before Lucky FABB, I was a fan of the BB creams, but I wasn't familiar with any of the CC (color-correcting) creams. This one goes on with an easy-to-blend consistency and doesn't leave me feeling greasy like many other creams. (Plus, it's an everyday SPF 15 that I don't have to think about.) The final step for "putting on my face" is the Bare Minerals foundation. Six years ago when I first moved to Los Angeles (pretty much a desert) from Louisiana (super duper humid), my skin definitely freaked out. I switched from the drying powder that I was using before to the Bare Minerals formula and haven't looked back since. (I swear by the stuff.) After that, of course, there are bronzers, blushes, highlighters and such, depending on the day, but that's a whole separate post. I'd love to know - what are some of your favorite face essentials?

Forever 21 blouse; AG boyfriend jeans (c/o); Sam Edelman heels; Bag (c/o) T.J. Maxx; Ray-Ban aviators; Zara necklace; Caravelle by Bulova watch (c/o); Boera ring (c/o); Henri Bendel bracelet; Vita Fede wrap bracelet (old) So I finally got my hands on a fresh pair of boyfriend jeans, and there is probably nothing more comfortable and day-to-night versatile in the denim world. During the day, pair these with a tee or loose blouse and flat sandals, and later, throw on a pair of heels and a blazer to dress them up. These Sam Edelman heels have become a definite go-to, and I'm really loving silver-toned accessories lately, especially this statement ring by Boera. I'll definitely be living in these slouchy staples all summer long. Hope everyone is having a great week!
xoxo P.S. - Only a couple more days to enter the Subtle Luxury Summer Giveaway, so get to it! Outfit #1: Old Navy white denim (c/o); Old Navy Boucle jacket (c/o); Sam Edelman heels; Rebecca Minkoff bag; Forever 21 sunglasses and bangles; Boera ring (c/o) Outfit #2: Old Navy white denim (c/o); Old Navy chambray shirt (c/o); TOMS shoes; Michael Kors clutch; Ray-Ban aviators; Michael Kors watch; Julie Vos cuff (c/o); Lulu's chain bracelet (c/o); Shop Jami wrap bracelet (c/o); Gorjana gold rings (c/o) Classic white skinnies are definitely a spring and summer must-have, but finding the perfect pair can be a real challenge. I always look for a pair with the right amount of stretch in a denim that is just a bit thicker. The price tag of these "Rock Star Super Skinny Jeans" from Old Navy made me a little skeptical about the quality, but I was pleasantly surprised once I tried them on. They fit like a glove, are available in about a jillion colors, and will only set you back $19. Steal. This past weekend, I paired the spring denim with a lightweight blouse, a structured jacket and heels for dinner and later dressed them down with an easy chambray shirt and flats. Whether dressed up or worn casually, you really can't go wrong with a great pair of white skinnies. How will you wear them this summer? xoxo This post is sponsored by Old Navy.

Fun striped TOMS for summer Hanging out with mom for Mother's Day - enter to win a scarf like this one from Subtle Luxury below! This weekend I got to spend three days in Catalina Island with my parents and Eric. Since my parents live in Louisiana, I don't get to see them that often, so it's always nice when we can spend a little time together. We definitely took full advantage of what the Island had to offer and stayed pretty busy riding off-road Segways, zip-lining, walking the city, and trying out as many of the local restaurants as possible. It was an amazing long weekend, and I'm so glad I got to spend Mother's Day with my mom. How was everyone else's weekend?

I think yes. But for now, It's so chic paired with pointed and ankle-strapped heels, tribal-inspired accents, and flashes of gold. Officially adding everything here to my summer wishlist, and I must admit, it's getting long. xoxo P.S. - Don't forget to enter the Subtle Luxury Summer Giveaway! Get the Look! 1.

While the suit itself is a pretty key ingredient to a summer by the beach, equally important is a cute coverup that goes from the sand to wherever the afternoon might take you. I'm loving this slightly sheer embroidered boyfriend tunic alone during the day or paired with denim cutoffs and one of their amazingly soft scarves once the sun goes down. If you haven't tried Subtle Luxury's beach-worthy California creations, now is your chance: one lucky reader will win a boyfriend tunic and spun scarf (like in the look above, worth $133) courtesy of Subtle Luxury.

xoxo Lately I've been loving chambray button-downs for easy weekend wear (like this one and that one), and I'm thinking this sleeveless version from Madewell is next on my list. When paired with a loose-fitting pair of shorts, there's nothing more carefree and Saturday-appropriate. Dress the look up with a heeled sandal and statement gold jewelry, and finish with retro-inspired shades (Warby Parker's tortoise sunnies are a current obsession) and a luxe leather crossbody.
