Beachy Keen Part Two || New Clothes!!

Welcome to Part Two!! Last month I went to the beach with Theresa and Caroline Wilson and
Ann Marie Lawing. The occasion: celebrating Theresa and Caroline's birthdays!! Of course we had to do some shopping, so below are some of my fabulous finds. All photo creds go to Theresa.
 

Find #1 is this adorable pair of earrings from Plato's Closet!! I've contemplated getting earrings with an attached cuff before but the one I found were spiky and a bit scary looking. However, these are cute little bows, gold plated(!!), and do not hold the possibility of me poking my eye out(:

This necklace is not new, but is also from Plato's Closet.

Outfit Details
Sweater- Plato's Closet
Jeans- Express
Shoes- Target, found at Plato's Closet
Necklace- Plato's Closet
Earrings (close-up below)- Clothes Mentor
Coat- I've had this forever and have no idea where I got it. Brand- Rave

I absolutely love the color combo of the necklace and sweater!!

Product Review || Sweet Harvest Homestead

Welcome to my very first product review!! Today I am reviewing the bar soaps from Sweet Harvest Homestead. This company is run by Lindy Sellers, and everything she sells is handmade by her. I have to say that I don't usually go for bar soap, but I'm a sucker for scents!! So I decided to pick up three from Ms. Lindy's booth at our Scout Christmas Party.  

 
Left to right: Beneath the Stars, French Vanilla Pear, Ginger Lime

French Vanilla Pear reminds me of the Twilight Woods scent from Bath and Body Works, but lighter. This soap smells *so* delicious!! The juicy pear scent is wonderfully balanced out by the notes of vanilla. It's definitely a more fall/winter scent, but I'll probably use it all year.

Ginger Lime is not only a happy smell, but it also has a happy look. It's colored in such a way to match the scents of ginger and lime. This soap is refreshing and pretty to look at, which is why I picked it up.

Last, but certainly not least, is Beneath the Stars. I'm just going to say straight off that I picked this one because of the design. It reminds me of Van Gogh's Starry Night painting, which is my absolute favorite painting of all time!! Not only does it look beautiful, but it smells beautiful too!! This soap is scented with rose and jasmine which makes for a beautiful combination.


So that is all for my review of the Sweet Harvest Homestead's soaps!! I encourage every one of you to buy at least one bar to try. Mrs. Lindy has so many more scents, one for every mood. Her website is www.sweetharvesthomestead.com, so go check it out!!

Much love (and scented soap!!)

Transitional Fashion || Collaboration

 
Soooooo..... This post was originally supposed to go up a month ago, but I've been having computer problems. As in all of our computers are in various stages of technological decay, to put it simply.
If you follow my beautiful best friend's blog, you will doubtless have seen pictures from our fall photo shoot. If you don't follow her a) you should, and b) here are the pictures from said photo shoot.
 
When we were shooting these, the weather couldn't decide if it was going to be warm or cold so I decided to go with a transitional outfit. 
 
                          The ultimate profile picture

                   Can I just say: these booties are life!
 
 
 
 
                       Cause eyeballs are cool, right?? 
 
                                       Fall Makeup
Eyeshadow Base: Maybelline's Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze
 Eyeshadow: Maybelline's Go for the Gold EyeStudio Quad 
 Mascara: Maybelline's Pumped Up! Colossal Volum' Express
 
        So, essentially, everything I own makeup-wise is Maybelline(: 
 
 
                          And here comes the transitional part.... 
 
                             Photo creds go to Theresa Wilson

Belated fall blessings!!
