sunday outfit idea florals and lace givenchy antigonawinter dressy outfit

Wearing: Kendra Scott earrings / MAC Lipstick / Helmut Lang sweater (on major sale!) / Banana Republic skirt (wearing petite, also comes in tall and regular) / Kendra Scott bracelets (sold out, also love this stack on sale!) / Givenchy handbag / c/o Essie Go With The Flowy nail polish / Louise et Cie shoes (sold out, also love this pair)

How fun is this floral and lace pleated skirt! I love the pattern mixing encompassed in this skirt. It is perfect to wear on not-too-cold winter days, as well as for transitioning from winter into spring.

I have been wearing this skirt with either the sweater pictured above, or a black turtleneck sweater during the cold winter days. It also looks cute with black knee boots and a black turtleneck sweater. There are so many options when it comes to this fun skirt!

This will continue to be a great skirt to wear in the early spring months. I can’t wait to pair it with a tee-shirt and sandals. Love!

Actually Organic Argan Oil review

actually organic argan oil actually organic argan oil review

Pictured: c/o Actually Organic Argan Oil

My hair is constantly flying away! The only way to keep my hair from being too dry, and flying all over the place, is with Argan Oil. I have tried many different brands, but have not been 100% happy due to how the product smells, or its’ inability to perform.

When Actually Organic introduced me to their Argan Oil product, I was excited! The Actually Organic Argan Oil is 100% pure argan oil, no additives! This told me the product might actually work!

I was thrilled when I received my bottle of Actually Organic Argan Oil. Of course the first thing I did was try it! The oil was not greasy at all, and was easy to apply to my hair. Since the bottle has a spray, it is simple to apply evenly throughout hair. It was nice to not have any oil smeared on my hands, only my hair! Love that!

The one thing that took me by surprise was the smell! Normally argan oil products have some sort of smell; whether it is added fragrance or from the ingredients themselves. I tried really hard to find the smell of Actually Organic Argan Oil. I smelled my hair, the bottle, my hands; only to discover I could not smell it. That’s right! There is no scent AT ALL as far as my nose can tell. It is 100% odorless to me. I was shocked!

As someone who loves to wear perfume or scented lotion, I am always annoyed when my hair products have a fragrance which competes with my scent of the day. Actually Organic Argan oil has absolutely no smell to me, this means I can apply it liberally throughout my hair and not worry about it competing with my perfume. Love that!

The verdict: Actually Organic Argan Oil gave my hair the right amount of oil it needs to not be dry. It does not leave my hair greasy or dirty looking. My hair looks clean and smooth. Without a detectable scent, Actually Organic Argan Oil is easy to wear daily since it does not compete with my perfume of the day. Love that! I am rating it five out of five stars!

Wearing: Kendra Scott earrings / MAC Lipstick / Helmut Lang sweater (on major sale!) / sequin jacket c/o Tart Collections (use code HOLIDAY20 now through 12-30-2016 to save 20% off!) / Gap jeans (on sale!) / Givenchy handbag / nail polish c/o Essie Go With The Flowy / Louise et Cie shoes (sold out, also love this pair)

Wondering how to wear a sequin jacket during the day for a casual event? Or maybe you have a casual party on New Years Eve and are wondering how to style a sequin jacket for New Years Eve? Well I struggled with these questions too!

I have an all-black outfit I planned to wear with this sequin jacket from Tart Collections. When the jacket arrived, I quickly went to my closet to try the outfit on together, only to find my weight gain sized me out of my black outfit! The shame! So then I decided I had to find a way to style this sequin jacket for my upcoming holiday parties. Plus, I needed a casual New Years Eve outfit idea, so this sequin jacket would be perfect!

Pairing this Tart Collections sequin jacket with loose, distressed, straight-leg jeans worked out perfectly! I love the edgy-glam look for a casual New Years Eve party, or any daytime activity. This is a great girl’s brunch outfit idea too! For New Years Eve, I plan to wear this exact outfit but I will switch out the daytime handbag for this cute little number by Valentino. You can see it styled here.

Tart Collections has so many fabulous and festive pieces for New Years; as well as everyday wear. You can’t go wrong with a Tart Collection piece! Plus, they are based right here in the San Francisco Bay Area, so their style is exactly how we dress. Love that!

You can find this fabulous sequin jacket and more at TartCollections.com. Use coupon code HOLIDAY20 now through December 30, 2016 to save 20% off your purchase. Love that!
