Summer Market

Here is the final installment of my vacation photos. One of our Vineyard adventures involved this adorable farmer's market, which had everything from homemade jam to beautiful flowers. 

Although it is shocking for me to admit, this clutch was the only handbag I brought on this trip! Usually I would bring a few different ones, just to have the choice. But I just recently received this green clutch from a wonderful family friend, and thought that vacation would be a lovely time to try it out. In general, I am not a huge fan of clutches because they constantly occupy one of my hands. However, I think this one is very cute and I will still use it from time to time.

I hope you have enjoyed these vacation outfits!

Coastal Prep

Hello lovelies! This is part two of three in my installation of vacation posts. Now, I will admit that this outfit is a bit on the preppy side for me. Normally I stick to a more vintage style. But we were going out to a nice restaurant for dinner, and I could not resist the idea of going out to the harbor in this summery ensemble. 

These photos were taken by my wonderful best friend Erin, who I am posing with in the eighth picture. She and her family were so nice to invite me on their annual trip, and I am so happy I got to experience all these amazing moments and sights with them.

I hope you enjoy your day! xo

Hello darlings! I hope you are all having a wonderful Saturday!

Earlier this month, I promised to post outfit photos from my vacation on Martha's Vineyard, and I finally have them for you! 

My best friend's family was staying just four houses down from this pretty beach, so this was where we did our first vacation photo shoot. 

I have to say that as much as I LOVE this shirt, my favorite part of the outfit is the silver starfish necklace! I have been wanting one for quite some time, and I finally found the perfect one on the Vineyard. And at half of it's original price, it was clearly meant to be!

Lets say you had a plane crash accident and were stranded on a remote island and no one else survived except you and the person you hate, do you prefer to go by yourself or make friend with the person that you hate? and why? -I would prefer to make friends with the person I hate because two heads are often better than one in dire situations and I'm sure that we would both prefer to live.

A Change of Scenery

Hello everyone! How are you? I apologize for not posting very much this week; things have been kind of crazy at my house. However, look forward to some interesting new posts in a little over a week, as I will be going on vacation starting this Monday! I am so excited to be spending four days with my best friend, and then another four with my family. I can hardly wait for a change of scenery and to go someplace I have never been before. I wish time would go faster!!

Anyway, today's post is a review on some products by Physician's Formula. In the picture, you see:

1. Black felt tip eye marker

2. Eye Shadow Shimmer Strips for Blue Eyes

3. Concealer Duo

First, for the marker. I personally do not wear a lot of eyeliner. Also, I have really fluttery eyelids. I guess they are very sensitive or something, because it is very hard to hold them still while applying make-up. But regardless of those two things, I really like this product. The tip of the marker is very fine, which allows for choice in how thick you want your line. If you want a thicker line, of course you can just fill it in a little.

Second, the eye shadow. This is my favorite product of the three. The colors are designed to go together in groups of three, and I think they do that very  nicely. I also think the shimmer is just right for my taste. But if you are looking for a matte shadow, this is not the palette for you. 

Finally, the concealer. The only problem I have with this product is that the cream color does not match my foundation, so I have to use only a very small amount so that they will blend together instead of making my blemishes stand out any more!  (I've mostly used it to cover up a friend's tattoo, but that is beside the point...) As for the green, only a VERY small amount is needed. However, when the right amount of product is used, I think it does an excellent job of neutralizing red spots.

Thank you for reading my review! If you've tried any other Physicians Formula products that you really liked, let me know!

GREEN AND PINK: A WINNING COMBINATION

This was probably the best summer day I could have asked for. My friend Liv and I took a long walk through one of our favorite ocean-front towns, and took today's blog pictures in this lovely park. The weather was absolutely perfect. We treated ourselves to a new pair of jeans each (mine are white skinnies with ankle zippers), dinner at a nearby restaurant, and some soft serve coconut ice cream- yum! I am definitely looking forward to more wonderful summer afternoons like this one.

Skirt: Billabong

Sandals: Charlotte Russe (they actually belong to Liv)

Tote: Vera Bradley
