Random Friday: Beauty Faves and J Crew Sale

Just throwing a few random things into a post 🙂

I posted my nails on my instagram and facebook the other day and had a few people ask for a tutorial. Well, no tutorial is needed as these are stickers!  Just paint, stick, cut the sticker to your nail size, top with a top coat!  The easiest nail design ever!  I got mine from this Etsy seller but if you do a search for “Chevron Nail Decals” you’ll find a bunch of options.  They don’t last very long (mine last around 4-5 days) and you’ll have to re-apply the top coat to keep the edges from curling but I still think they are worth it for the cute and easy nail design.  (Bracelets are from my jewelry line)



My latest make up routine includes the most amazing mascara ever.  Benefit’s They’re Real! Mascara is quite possibly the best mascara I’ve used in my life.  Since I’ve been using this, people comment on how long my lashes are constantly.  For an added fullness to my lashes I’ve been adding 2-3 individual falsies at the corners of my eyes.  I’ve long given up the strip lashes that I used to love when I was younger but these individual lashes are the perfect amount to give your eyes just an added look of fullness to your lashes.  They also blend in so well with your real lashes that people can not tell that you have falsies on.  Along with the mascara, it’s an amazing combination!  (I should mention that I use regular lash glue so I can take them off at night, not the stronger glue that they recommend with individual lashes – you have to use a special remover to get that glue off!)

Here’s a few photos with the mascara + lashes combination.

J Crew is currently having a 30% off sale
promo so here are a few that I tried on in store that got a thumbs up
from me.  Not all are available online so I suggest checking in store as
they had quite a few different styles than online.

Tippi Sweater (available online in solid)
Boy Shirt (available online in plaid)
Scattered Sequin Sweater

And my bow coat is on sale as well but looks like they are sold out of the pink.  Lookbook details here.


My jewelry line is also celebrating President’s Day with an additional 30% off sale!  There’s lots of styles perfect for spring!  Use code 30SALE.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

You may have seen a few of these over on my sister’s blog
but I wanted to share them as well!   It had been awhile since my sister
and I had any photos together and so we hired the very talented Jen to come and shoot a few of us together for our site as well as debut some of our newest pieces for our jewelry line.  It’s always fun hanging out with my sister but loved having the chance to get some pictures of us too!

pssst… our photographer also has a fashion blog of her own!  Go check it out, she is adorable and you might see some t+j Designs pieces on her too!

December Shopping haul

Before Christmas I took advantage of quite a few sales but have yet to wear any of my items for lookbooks so thought I’d share what I ended up keeping and love so if you guys are interested you can still find them online.

Chicwish has the cutest things and they are now doing 20% off your order of regular price items, use code NY20 and 10% off sale items, code SALE10

Rose Sweater | Camo Sweater | Polka Dot Trench
The sweaters only come in one size and run quite baggy but I like to wear them with my J Crew Pixie pants and booties for an oversized look.  Plus, they are super warm and cozy so perfect for these freezing cold days we are having.
The pink polka dot blouse is from Sheinside (take $20 off orders over $100 with merryxmas20) and the beige polka dot blouse is from Shop Sosie (it has a bow in the back, it’s so cute!).

And just some cute printed items.  I’m big on prints and have been getting more into printed pants and skirts. 

J Crew Bow Print Cords (get extra 30% off with code STYLE2013) | Madewell Bow Tee
ShopSosie Lace Blouse – sorry for the terrible picture but this is a new favorite top, love the lace.
Romwe Blouse – Similar style, different print
OASAP Stud Sweater – this is way cuter in person, the quality is great and really soft.
OASAP Striped Peter Pan Collar Top

Jewel Print Skirt (c/o Dorothy Perkins) 
I love the print of the gems floating at the bottom.  I’ve been wanting to wear this but the freezing weather has kept me from wearing any sort of dresses or skirts lately.
 
We’ve got a great facebook giveaway for my jewelry line!  10 winners will be chosen to win one of our Pretty Baubles necklaces!  The winners will get to choose which color they want out of the 5 colors we carry.  I just love these and they look great layered too!  Find the details on how to enter here.
Have a great weekend!
