Gotta have it: Maxi Dresses!

Maxi dresses SCREAM Summer to me! On one hand, they're flowy, breezy, give just enough room to be comfortable without being too baggy. And then on the flipside, they are elegant, sophisticated, and give a bohemian-ethereal vibe. They are perfect to throw on for any occasion from a cookout to a formal event. There are so many fun styles out now and so many color choices, so there really is something for everyone.
I think everyone should own at least one maxi dress that compliments them, shape and color wise. I think I found a really solid option online at Target's website.

Isn't it gorgeous?!?!

I loooove the shape of the dress. It seems like it is loose but still flatters the shape with the elastic band under the chest. The V-neck is not too wide, but it is deep. That can be fixed with a simple needle and thread. I just love how flowy it looks. It's also made out of polyester, rayon, and spandex which means it will feel good on the skin. I feel like cotton gets uncomfortable in the heat! When you sweat, it kind of sticks to you! Well, it does that to me. I know exactly how these fabrics will feel, and trust me: it is perfect for those muggy, humid, July days. 

Last but not least, the colors. Look at that green. JUST LOOK! The color selection of these dresses is so fabulous. I bought three- Lush Moss (pictured above), Duchess Blue (It reminded me of Kate Middleton!), and Viking Purple (Badass name, and a deep lovely eggplant shade.) Even though I've been on a neon hunt for the past few weeks, the jewel tones of these dresses won me over. And the reviews are literally 99.9% positive aside from the fact that they run large, so you should order a size smaller. Slam dunk.

Let me know if you purchase one, or show me your favorite maxi dress for Summer!

Makeup in TV Shows!

Does anyone else get makeup ideas from TV shows? The makeup is literally one of the first things i notice regardless of what I'm watching! Some of my favorites include:

-Gossip Girl (Very youthful, dewy skin, bright lips)

-True Blood (Neutral, and then a 'just bitten' lipcolor for most)

-Keeping Up with the Kardashians (They LOVE their makeup- smoky eye ideas, gloss, the works)

-Smash (Marilyn-esque makeup, very bold and dramatic, but then neutrals for the majority)

-Glee (Strong contours and long lashes for all! I'm a particular fan of Dianna Agron's makeup)

These are just a few of the looks I've been loving! As you can probably tell, I love a good neutral face with a pigmented lip. What are your favorite TV show makeup looks?

I'M BACK! For real this time!

Hello, beautiful people! I did it again...I have completely neglected this blog. I just finished up my sophomore year at college and things got a little (well, a lot) more hectic so I did not have time to devote any time to the blog! HOWEVER, summertime is finally here and I cannot wait to share some new products with you all! And expect more FOTDs (Face of the Day) pictures/tutorials, and maybe even videos! Exciting stuff coming soon!
I've also been thinking about broadening the blog up a bit. I LOVE the idea of the Powder Room- freshening up your makeup and all that jazz. But, not everyone relates to makeup. The Powder Room is also a place you go to take a breather from whatever hectic is going on. I know, as a girl, sometimes the powder room is where you go with your friends to gossip (don't lie, you do it too!) So, I will be writing about more than just makeup on this blog. Expect random rants, celebrity gossip, fun quotes, ideas, recipes- the list goes on and on. I have a lot of random thoughts through the day, and hopefully sharing them here will give you something to think about as well! I can't wait to start writing and hopefully connect with some of you on here. Oh, the magic of the Internet. :) Stay tuned!
