Go-To Tuesday

Hello there! If you’ve been “watching” my blog, Instagram, or Facebook page at all, you would know that every Tuesday I dedicate to my go-tos. Well today is no exception! I’m dedicating today to my Go-To Watch which is Apple Watch. I currently have the Series 1 but am able to do so much with it. I’ve never been much of a watch person but to be able to access my phone from my wrist in any situation is really nice. I love the fact that I can access my messages by looking down at my wrist and without carrying my phone around everywhere. I also love the feature that includes keeping track of your steps and encouraging you to keep being active. In addition, this watch includes so many other features that I still haven’t even experienced yet. It’s truly an awesome piece of technology to have for any adult that has a busy schedule. Check out the link below for more information on the Apple Watch and/or to purchase it.

Go-To Tuesday

Here it is friends, my homage to summer coming to an end. I’m sharing with you my go-to ice cream flavor. Who are we kidding, I’m still gonna eat ice cream all year long because chocolate chip cookie dough is just way too good to skip out on! Haha BUT I’m here to share with you the reasons why I love it. First off, if I could, I’m the type of person that could eat a whole stick of raw cookie, anybody else? So to be able to eat cookie dough that is safe to eat AND with ice cream, how could anyone be unhappy with life? In addition, I love chewy chocolate chip cookies so eating the cookie dough is like the best of both worlds. If you got this far into this blog, then good for you because it’s literally just a blog about how damn good chocolate chip Cookie dough ice cream is. Share with me below your favorite ice cream flavor!

Hello friends,

This past week, I featured my newest bag that I added to my collection. This purse is the one featured in the picture above. It is a Louis Vuitton Pochette dupe and I’m obsessed with it. I’ve been scouring amazon for it for months now and finally found it for a great price! When it comes to amazon and their dupes, you have to be very diligent with looking at their prices. Most of these purses are not worth anything more than $100. I featured a few on here that much or a little more and that’s only to give you options. Overall, it’s your money and your choice. My personal preference and advice would be to wait it out and see if the price goes down (because it usually does). Alrighty, let’s jump into it:

The Dupes:

  1. Two sided (White & Black) GG Fanny Pack
  2. Black LV Pochette
  3. Black LV Zip Wallet
  4. Rhinestone GG Broach
  5. Light Pink LV Crossbody
  6. White LV Makeup Bag
  7. Red Velvet Large GG purse
  8. White LV belt
  9. Brown LV belt
  10. Brown LV Pochette (I own this and ADORE it, its in great quality and looks legit.)
  11. Brown LV Zip Wallet
  12. Black YSL Quilted Bag
  13. Brown LV Hobo Bag
  14. Brown LV Zip Wallet with wristlet
  15. Black Quilted Chanel Shoulder Bag
  16. Red LV Monogramed Neverfull
  17. Brown (and white) LV Neverfull with matching wristlet
  18. LV iWatch Band
  19. LV iPhone Case
  20. LV Checkered iWatch Band
  21. Clear LV iPhone Case
  22. Gold Rhinestone GG Belt

And that concludes today’s edition of Amazon dupes! Let me know if you liked this post and if you’re looking for something in particular. Also, comment below if you want me to do more of these!

GO-TO TUESDAY

It’s that time of year again, back to school! Whether you’re are a Mom, student, or just a gal (like me) that loves back to school shopping then this is a post you’re gonna want to read about. I’m sharing my Go-to Pens with you, the Crayola Washable Gel Pens. What I love most about these are the multiple colors offered within the pack. I’m the type of person that likes to color code my planner and different projects I work on. So this pack of pens was perfect for me. I also love that the pens glide so easily onto the paper. They are easy to use and super smooth to write with. In addition to that, these pens come with 14 different colors in a pack included black and dark blue. I love the variety included within the pack and the price is great for the amount they offer. They are offered on prime and you can order them and get them just in time for school starting. Click the photo above for the link to these colorful and fun pens!

Well hello,

Do you ever notice yourself always grabbing the same color lipsticks over and over again? Cause, same! Then, I’ll make a conscious effort to try one of my other millions I own and then usually regret it. So I figured I’d share with you my top 5 lipsticks that I’m always using. Let’s get started:

The Lipsticks:

(Links to products are connected to the photos and hyperlinks.)

  1. Fenty Beauty Stunna Lip Paint in “Uncuffed” : This gorgeous mauve-y pink is perfect for day to night transition. It’s such a stunning lip color on because it’s not your typical bubble gum girly pink. It’s quite a sophisticated pink and would look great on women of many ages.
  2. Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink in “Ruler” : If you follow along with my Go-To Tuesday’s, you would know that this is my go-to red lipstick! I’m so obsessed with it and don’t know what I’ll do when this color is discontinued. Up until this point, there were only a few red lipsticks that looked good on me but they always smeared so quickly. In that case, you have to worry about applying powder to your lipstick and constantly be check on it and making sure it isn’t all over your face. BUT, I don’t have to worry one bit about this matte lip ink. This lipstick stays on ALL DAY and barely needs reapplication. The formula that Maybelline has come up with is truly incredible and I highly suggest it to anyone!
  3. Ciaté London Glitter Flip Lip in “Infamous” : Glitter Flip has been around for a couple of years now (which is why mine doesn’t have the logo on it anymore). I’m a big fan of anything that is shiny and glittery which is why I wanted to originally try this out a few years ago. This color it’s also a mauve but after two minutes, you press your lips together and glitter appears. This glitter in the lipstick is not a look that everybody loves for themselves, but if you do, this is the one for you! In addition, it’s currently on sale on Sephora for $9.50 in most of the colors.
  4. NYX Slip Tease in “I Woke Up Like This” : If you’re in need of an amazing nude, satin lipsticks then look no further. This is my lipstick that looks great with anything I’m wearing. It looks very natural while still giving a slightly dramatic vibe. I hate the look of a nude lipstick that makes me look dehydrated so that’s why I love this lip. Its dark enough that you can see it in pictures and far away but subtle enough as well. Overall, it’s a solid nude lip choice.
  5. Huda Beauty Liquid Matte Lipstick in “Trendsetter” – Sometimes, when applying lipsticks, that pink and red simply won’t do. That’s where my Huda Beauty Liquid Matte Lip in “Trendsetter” comes in handy. This lipstick is a brown nude with a little orange undertone. You can tell by the swatches that it’s similar to the NYX lipstick but still darker. This is definitely a lipstick I use when I’m in search for a more dramatic look. This liquid lip stays on for a good while too. Definitely a great choice!

Swatches:

And that’s it! Share with me below what’s your absolute favorite lipstick, I’m not opposed to adding more to my list. 😉

Hey friends!

Recently, I’ve been slacking on my blogging game and I even missed my go-to Tuesday yesterday! So to make up for it, I’ve decided to share with you all a new fun blog post dedicated to fabulous places I visit. I figure this is a great way to share with all you cute and instagram-able places to visit while you’re in town or in different cities that I visit. Today, I’ve decided to featured the absolute CUTEST and trendiest coffee shop/boutique in the greater Pittsburgh area, The Loveliest. The Loveliest is a coffee shop and boutique snuggled into the cutest suburbs of the Pittsburgh area. Seriously, you’ll want to move to this town. From it’s gorgeous housing to its movie worthy main streets, you’ll never want to leave this quaint little town.

Now let’s get to the good stuff, the coffee! Now The Loveliest doesn’t just offer basic coffee but they also offer an assortment of decor to spruce it up. From edible glitter to screen printing your coffee, their coffees are anything but dull. Check out my Hot vanilla latte I order with a Iridescently Katey touch!

With an up-charge, you can upgrade your drink from plain to Insta-worthy. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to add a little something sassy to my drink and that’s not all that can be added. From edible glitter to flecks of gold, you can accessorize your coffee however you like BUT for a price. It does get a little pricy to add all these things to your drink though. I paid almost $8 for my latte and my best friend spend around $10 for hers. Overall, you’re paying for the experience of the shop and I think it’s worth it for a visit!

The venue not only includes delicious coffee but it also has the trendiest and cutest insta worthy places to chill. From its chair swing, to the bubble chairs, window seat, outside patio chairs, there is no shortage for that perfect shot! Be able to sit in chill in this gorgeous pink palace was beyond my wildest dreams. If you’re a fan of pink, coffee, insta worthy areas, and/or shopping, this is a must stop by shop for you!

Go-To Tuesday

This past weekend was a time to celebrate and today is a day to share with you another go-to. I’m sharing with you my Go-to Champagne which is the Barefoot Bubbly Moscato Spumante Champagne. This bubbly spirit is so delicious and easy to celebrate with. It retails around $15 and I highly suggest it to anyone looking for a sweet champagne. If you’re a fan of Moscato wine and champagne (and you’re 21+) then this is the drink for you. A lot of champagne have a bitter and tart taste to them but not this one. This bubbly drink has a light, airy, sweet taste while still giving your champagne feels. I’ve always said that this bubbly drink tastes the way I’ve always wanted champagne to taste and I love it!
