During this Valentine’s season, I thought I would talk about something I heart...Shopping Online.

Living in a small town I don’t have easy access to a lot of my favorite  stores so I often frequent these online stores to keep up on my beauty & fashion passions!

1. Coupons
Before checking out ANWHERE, I always check the web for any deals there might be out there. 
Retail Me Not is a great website to find coupons.

2. Anything & Everything
I have used Amazon for countless items I am looking for, beauty products, cell phone cases, health food items, etc.

3. Designer Deals
Hautelook is a subscription site that features different designers everday at crazy discounts. Anything from beauty, home decor & clothing. It's kind of amazing.

4. Accessories
ShopLately is something i’m a little obssesed with.  I love jewelry, but hate paying more than $10 for something.  This site features daily deals from different designers,
super trendy jewelry, scarfs, bags. Shipping is only $2.99 so you don’t feel guilty ordering when the jewelry is about that cheap anyways.  Everything I have ordered is really good quality and it comes in super cute packaging, which i'm a sucker for.
If you use my Facebook link to sign up you get $5 worth of credit, oh and I do too..that’s pretty cool.

5. Complete Looks
Have a hard time puting an outfit together? Dailylook features 3 different complete outfits, head to toe, everyday that you can purcahse on discount. Like the whole outift? You can buy the whole thing! EASY!

6. Beauty/Cosmetics
Ulta is my ultimate go to for beauty products. ‘Nuff said!!

7. Housholds
Anyone else hate buying toilet paper/ paper towels? Drugstore.com has any household items you can think of at almost always a discount and fast shipping!

8. Fashion
Target is one of my all time faves for clothing...ok everything really.  A lot of times they have items online that aren’t sold in store so that’s awesome!

Asos is a United Kingdom based fashion website that offers wide range priced items, everything is VERY unique and fashion forward.  The best part? Free shipping & returns, no minimum, so if you hesititate ordering clothing online in fear that it won’t fit? Sending it back is no problem!

Forever 21 is the mecca for all things fashionable, yet so very affordable. 

Hope you guys find this helpful!

Beauty Organization Tips

Here are some cheap, effective ways that I have found to organize all my beauty products!


I use this envelope holder that I got from Staples to hold blushes, eyeshadow palettes, and my Z Palette.

 This cheapo wine rack is home for my hairspray, hair brush, and other styling products. It would also be a great way to store any hot tools as well! I obviously have mine filled with just hair styling products so I put my straightener and curling iron on a hot pad to protect my counter.

I use a turning pen/office supply desk organizer to store my eyeliners, brushes, mascara, foundation etc.  I got this at Staples but most office supply places carry something similar.

Lastly, I use these decorative hooks to house and organize my most worn necklaces! This could be used in your bedroom, bathroom, or closet.

I hope some of these tips were helpful and can help you organize some of your own beauty faves!

Lime Crime - OOTD


Anything neon colored will almost always steal my colorful/glittery heart.  But when it has a high-low hem and is sheer, giiiirrrllll I couldn't pass this baby up! (confession, I have this shirt in 3 other colors...don't judge!) I paired it with a black military style jacket and black leggings so that I didn't have too much color pow going on and allowed the shirt to showcase itself as my POC (pop of color :).  I'm also wearing my Vince Camuto Winchell boots. 

High-Low hems are definitely a trend that I am diggin' as of late, especially in the winter when I pair lots of my outfits with leggings.  The lower hemline in the back covers the booty and gives a more laid back casual look. This shirt is actually sleeveless so pairing it with a jacket is a great way to wear your summer clothes in the winter too!

Happy Sunday!

Fringe me...

As previously mentioned in my December obsessions, I can't get enough of the fringe trend.
Especially in my accessories, including bags and shoes.
I'm channeling my inner Boho-ness and my local Alco allowed me to do so.
Holla!! Small town bargains make me so excited. 
You can find affordable fashion anywhere! This bag was around $20.
Mary Kate, Kourtney K. and Fergie Ferg, eat your heart out!

Leather - Lace - Chambray - Gold


Outfit of the Day---O.O.T.D.

Loving the leather (or in my case, "pleather") trend that is so popular right now.  I paired my high waist skirt with this chambray top that I got at Wal-Mart; yes, Wal-Mart, NO shame here. As well as some lace tights and my moto-boots all accented with gold jewelry. Chambray tops can be found virtually everywhere and be paired with SO many outfits.  I've had it for years and loved the idea of pairing it with the edginess of leather yet maintaining a feminine look with the lace.  With my eyes, I used the Maybelline Cozy Cashmere palette that I mentioned in my last post. Love it sooo much!!
