June 2016 Favorites

Is it really July already? June absolutely flew by with so many changes! My 24th birthday came and went, I got a new boss at work, I’m reorganizing and redecorating my bedroom…. So much going on, y’all. I can’t wait to see what July has in store but first, let’s take a look back at my favorites in fashion, beauty, daily reads, food, and memories in the month of June!

Fashion

Karlie Clothes Cold Shoulder Dress

I picked up this off the shoulder dress by Karlie Clothes at Pink Avenue, a local boutique I’ve been in love with for 10 years. The off the shoulder style is perfectly on trend this season and the ruffle around the neckline is so adorable. You can order this dress by contacting Pink Avenue via Instagram! See the full outfit here.

Aeropostale Panama Hat

I’ve found myself spending almost every weekend at the lake so far this summer. And I’m definitely not complaining! To protect my face and ears, I need this adorable colorblock Aeropostale hat on me at all times. And it’s only $8!

Beauty

Urban Decay x Gwen Stefani Palette

Urban Decay’s collaboration with Gwen Stefani to create this eyeshadow palette is insanely gorgeous! My every day eye look for June has come from this palette. The shades I use: Bathwater, Stark, Anaheim, Punk, Pop. Again, gorgeous!

The shades please my neutral taste with three pop colors to jazz up the look. The shadows are buttery and easily blendable and buildable. It is part of a limited edition collection and it’s on the way out…BUT it’s on sale for $25 at Sephora. Go get it! I love the palette so much that I bought a second one.

Food

Kellogg Pastry Crisps in Brown Sugar Cinnamon

I fell in love with these Kellogg Pastry Crisps in the flavor brown sugar cinnamon when my aunt introduced me to them a couple of years ago. I recently rediscovered them when I was looking for a light snack to get me through the day. Get this: they’re only 100 calories a package!

Memory

Brunch at La Madeleine

Where are the ladies who brunch? La Madeleine has been one of my favorite restaurants for years. On our semi annual weekend shopping trips to Dallas, we would always be sure to drop by La Madeleine for their scrumptious quiche and delicious almond croissants. Then, La Mad finally decided to open up shop across the Texan border in Little Rock, Arkansas! Colton and I feasted during our Saturday brunch hour a few weekends ago and the food (and the outfit) was too amazing to forget. See the full outfit and brunch here.
