My Everyday Squad

Hey Everyone! I wanted to share a post featuring items that are my staples! These are my everyday pieces that I wear everyday. I have recently fell in love with Makeup Forever! Their foundation, concealer, and duo bronzer are UH-MAZING! I was not so sure if I liked it at first, but once I got the hang of it I don't see myself switching foundations for a long long time. Many makeup artists have described this makeup as like a second skin..and it really does feel and look like that. I highly recommend all three of these products! Stila is another one of my favorite makeup brands. I have been a fan of their Kitten eye shadow for years and now have become obsessed with the Kitten all over shimmer powder. It's perfect for summer! Gives your face a nice shimmer and glow that I love! If you haven't tried the Kitten eye shadow, you MUST! The Urban Decay Naked Basic Pallet is a staple! It's easy to travel with and generally has just the right colors for whatever type of eye look I am going for that day. Too Faced Soleil Matte Bronzer is another fav of mine. I use to use it as my everyday bronzer, but now I use it to contour. Let me tell you, it does a fantastic job, plus it smells amazing!! Next up, my Tory Burch York Tote. This little darling is the best! I use it for everything and it can hold everything! I'm pretty hard on handbags and she has not let me down! I can fit so much stuff in this bag, even my laptop! Kate Spade, how I love thee...My husband bought me this watch for our one year anniversary and I have yet to take it off. It goes with everything! I'm hoping that I can get a rose gold one for my birthday :) Hint Hint Babe :) The number one compliment that I have been receiving lately is over my Bauble Bar Monogram Necklace. Such a great piece! I adore monogrammed anything..I literally wear this everyday and I LOVE it! If you are interested in purchasing any of the products mentioned above, click the picture of the product and it will take you to a direct link to purchase! Have a blessed day!

You've Been Duped!..In a good way!

I'm finally starting to feel like a human again after having the flu.. I've had plenty of time to catch up on my favorite style bloggers since I've been laying in bed for the last three days..

Anyways, everyone (including me)  seems to be obsessed with these Studded Valentino Sandals. Every blogger has a pair and well let's just say, Valentino is not in my budget :)

So, I've found the PERFECT dupe for these $975 sandals. How perfect you ask? Well how does $32.99 sound? I thought so!

How cute, right?!? These adorable Gladiators are by Betseyville?!? And, If you hurry, they are buy one get one half off. So that means you can buy the "natural" color (as I have) and get the "black" half off!

Weekend DIY: King Headboard

I've been wanting to make my own headboard for a while now. So, the day has finally come to "man up" and do it! Y'all, it was seriously so easy. 

Here's the final product!!

(Don't mind my lumpy looking comforter)

I absolutely love it! And it sure beats spending around $600 for a king sized headboard! 

Here's what you need...

-76 in wide by 28 in high plywood (or any wood will do) Mine was around $13 from Lowes. Ask the salesperson to cut it for you.

-staple gun and staples

-drill

-keyhole fasteners (comes 2 to a box)

-box nails size 8d

-hammer

-3 yards of batting (mine was 1/4 inch thick)

-3 yards of nice fabric

-scissors

Ok here we go! 

Lay out your batting on the floor and place the board on top. Leaving about 3 inches to fold on each side. Cut the excess off. 

Next, fold the batting tightly onto your board and staple it all around. I used a lot of staples! 

After that, place your fabric on the ground. And repeat the same steps as you did for the batting as the fabric. Make sure to flatten the fabric out completely so that you will not have and creases. 

Pull tightly when you staple but not so tigh that you are moving the fabric. Staple, Staple, Staple!

Take your keyhole fasteners and drill and attach to the top two corners. 

Nail your nails evenly to the wall and attach your headboard. 

Here's my trick: I put the nail into the keyhole fasteners first then gently nail the headboard in. 

There you have it!

Shame on Me!

I've been a bad, bad blogger...it's been over TWO months since my last post. Ooopsie.

Well let's catch you up to speed! Here's a quick run down of what's been going in my life since. So..I'm no longer a teacher, I accepted a new position working in Adult Education and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! This job has truely been a blessing from God! 

Also, as you know from my last post the Hubs and I celebrated our one year weeding anniversary. As my gift to him (and myself haha!) I got him a new dog! We lost our AMAZING yellow Lab this past January due to old age, so we've been talking about geting a new dog and well here she is! Welcome Miss Cleo! 

This picture was right after we got her. She's quite a bit bigger now..like 30 lbs! They grow so FAST! She's Chocolate Lab and if you've ever owned one you know they are so so so hyper and love love love to chew on anything and everything. She has kept us BUSY!

Ooooookay....

Let's jump into Fall! Who's ready? Meeeee! Being in Texas it is HOT, but we've been having a "cool" front lately so it's been nice. With that being said, it's time to upgrade my closet to get ready for this season. Check out some items that I have my eye on.. Some are pricey, but trust me that I'll find budget friendly version.
