Leopard Skirt Trend that Everyone is Loving

Good morning, friendlies! I am finally feeling a little better after a long weekend of sniffles and an upset stomach. The weather changing was not good to me, and I was not half as productive as I wanted to be. Oh well, when you’re down and almost out it gives you time to think about things. I did take care of some organizational things over the weekend, and reviewed some previous posts I’ve shared on instagram. Y’all were absolutely obsessed with the leopard skirt trend!

Sephora Spring Bonus Picks (Friday Face Fix)

Good morning, ladies! Don’t you just love a good weekend sale? If you do, you’re lucky because everyone officially has access to the Sephora Spring Bonus Sale! To participate (and receive your discount!) you have to be a beauty insider, which you do by providing your e-mail address in store or online!  Aside from access to the 2 sales Sephora has yearly, you get early access to new products (depending on your status), birthday gifts, AND (this is probably my favorite feature) Sephora will send you reminder e-mails when your make-up products are running low.  For me, it was spot on and I was v impressed.

This sale is so awesome because it gives us an opportunity to try more expensive products at a discounted price. I’m definitely planning on stocking up on my more expensive products and two of my foundations this time around (because OF COURSE they ran out at the same time!) , but I rather do it now than pay full price later.  I have to remind y’all that we have the same skin our entire lives, we have to think about the things we put on it! Sometimes, it’s a good idea to invest in quality products!

While I don’t consider myself a beauty guru, I do consider myself somewhat knowledgeable when it comes to a classic make-up look.  Y’all know I am skincare obsessed, which is why that will play a huge role in this post! You’ll even get to pick the item I splurge on at the very end of the post! Grab some coffee and sit tight because this one’s going to be fun!

Leopard Button-Up

Happy Happy Monday, lovelies! If you find yourself on my end of the world, you enjoyed the return of Short’s Season! I’m now officially keeping a water bottle on me at all times. Meaning, I will finally take the plunge and get me one of these. Once the temperature starts to dance around 90 degrees I also start searching for light blouses for work.  Since I travel to different schools throughout the day and have to load/unload materials, I need light and breathable fabrics that still look professional. I’m so excited to share this leopard button-up blouse and the brand that I’ve recently fallen in love with!AlyandtheValley_leopardtop5.jpg Continue Reading“Leopard Button-Up”

Must-Have Spring and Summer Shoes

So, it’s been a minute since I wrote a post. A week exactly. OMG.  I just brunched and slobbed so hard over my four-day weekend that I could not convince myself to sit down or to get some photoshoots done.  Can’t win ’em all (insert shrug emoji). This left me time to put together an awesome list of spring must-have shoes.

Kendra Scott Summer Collection: Splurge of the Month

Hello lovelies! I am so excited for today’s post because I am getting to share two NEW pieces from the Kendra Scott Summer Collection! Even if you’ve been following my for a short time, you know that I LOVE basically everything that Kendra Scott designs.

The Kendra Scott Summer Collection has always held a special place in my heart. It has almost everything to do with Kendra’s FABULOUS birthday discount (50% off any one item!). Jokes aside, the summer collection is always so much fun and beautiful that I’m unable to resist picking a few things. When I was invited to the preview of Kendra Scott’s Summer Collection a week ago, I made quick plans to shop! I picked up two things and can’t wait to share them with you!

I’ll be calling this post my splurge of the month, since I treated myself to two full-price pieces of jewelry (so rare for me)! Continue Reading“Kendra Scott Summer Collection: Splurge of the Month”
