Simple spring look || OOTW ♡

                             
Hello Beauties! Spring has sprung & I'm loving some of the current trends especially the styling of some great staple pieces ( like the ever trendy striped blouse)

• Dark Jeans- these look almost black on camera but really they're and dark rinse which I LOVE!! plus highwaisted bottoms are so flattering
• Striped blouse -  I am loving this top recently and only tucking it half in gives the whole outfit a cool but collected look; this exact top was from marshals, but I have a very similar one linked. 
• Brown leather Chelsea boot - Always a great staple piece, the pointed toe keeps it very trendy. Forever21 is still carrying these in 2 colors.
• Sunglasses- As someone who adds sunglasses to most outfits, tortoise shell  sunglasses are always a great choice

That's all for now! check back for more spring outfits soon

5 favorite Bold Lips for Spring ♡

      
Hey beauties! this post is gonna be a short one but I've been asked about some of the lip colors I've worn recently and with spring being the season of blooming colors I decided to share some of my absolute favorites.  I also picked a wide variety of prices so even if you wanna try something new you don't have to break the bank!

• elf Matte Lip Color- beautiful plum color that can look bomb on any skin tone & can also double as a lip liner
• Bare minerals Liquid lip- this exact product isn't available but they do still have the shade! Moxie is a vibrant barbie pink and looks great on the right occasion 
• NYX butter lipstick- Shade lifegaurd  is a bright brick red with a cool undertone that makes everyone's teeth look so white which is always a plus
• SmashBox Liquid lip- Love a good gloss and this one is amazingly pigmented so putting it on this list in a no-brainer.
• Mac lipstick- As a fan favorite, most already assume that mac has great bold lipsticks, but their coral shades are my personal favorite for the spring
• Maddly Matte lipstick-  the fact that these products are available for only $1 and are this high quality is amazing enough but a good bold color makes all the difference! The shade above is 1605

That's all for now beauties, check back soon! -XoXo, LilyVera

Favorite trends so far this year || 2017

Hello beauties, it's only march and 2017 is already full of some new trends that haven't carried over from last year.  Although some trendy looks right now aren't quite my style, I thought I'd share the stuff I am absolutely loving!

Loafer style flats

Now I'm not talking about the typical grandpa style, but instead the more trendy platform or flat type.  I am literally dying over the embroidered loafers because they can add such an original touch to an outfit, but you can find them at retailers such as forever21 where you won't break the bank.  Also, If you prefer the simpler side of things, plaid black pairs are currently at h&m for under $20!

Bardot Tops

These blouses make me crave spring! I am loving the variety, especially the tops with a more emphasized ruffle. If you was some statement bardot tops, I recommend checking out tjmaxx's website for a great selection.

Structured Satchels

A good structured bag fits in well with any outfit!!! I'm completely a bag person and don't mind spending a bit extra on something I really like, but if you're looking for a high quality structured handbag under $50 then check out Charming Charlie; Their boutique is so cute to start and the multi-colored bags are a must.

Embroidery details

This look came into play late last year but after NYFW has made a lasting impression on 2017.  I adore all things florally embroidered and I don't see that stopping anytime soon!

Athleisure

Athletic wear out and about isn't a new concept, but I think the fashion industry is currently doing it better than ever if I do say so myself.  As some one who has definitely hoped on the band wagon for Calvin-Klein and Adidas, styling athletic clothes with some distressed jeans and bomber jacket is both comfortable and so darn cute!

6 Favorite Pairs of Sunglasses for This Spring ♡

                                   
Hello beauties! after being asked by some friends where one on these pairs were from & realizing That I tend to wear a pair everyday, I thought where better to share some of my favorite Spring/Summer sunnies than here with all of you! hope you enjoy, each pair will be linked.

• White vintage style sunglasses- biggest plus of these is that there are no nose pieces, so they will never smudge your makeup! on top of that, white glasses are such a statement and I love the gold hardware.
• Celine tortoise fade glasses- (bottom right pair) although these are on the pricey side for sure, you can always buy them for less off Poshmark or similar styles else where.  A good basic pair of very oversized sunglasses is a must for me.
• Pink reflective lense glasses- these are seriously everywhere now but they're just so cute and affordable! such a simple statement.
  
• Dark brown frames with gold sides-  These actually come in a two pack which is so convenient, Sometimes you just need a simple pair of sunglasses that don't draw too much attention.
• Blue reflective aviators- Everyone loves a good pair of aviators, these lenses just make them more fun, plus I love the look of the rim-less ones
• Leopard half frame sunglasses- these look so vintage and I love wearing them on my head with a high ponytail!(similar pair linked)

That's all for this post but tune back for more content soon! -XoXo, LilyVera

Influenster Box Review || Rosy VoxBox

Hello beauties, so recently I was offered a free VoxBox from a wonderful service called Influenster that distributes new products to active members of social media/ bloggers. Although having an influence helps your chances of receiving offers, willingness to review products could also land you a box of goodies so I'll be sure to link their site below for those who are interested! In my first box I received 6 diverse products and overall, I was very impressed. 

 My favorite item from the whole box was the NYM brand Beach Babe sea salt spray. I tested it out on my wild hair right after a shower & this product left my waves soft, natural, and smelling amazing! Up next was the fancy feet toot pads; As someone who is only 5'4" and wears heals on  pretty regular basis, my feet thank influenster for these bad boys.  One item that was in the box that I was kinda confused about was a large Purell  hand sanitizer naturals, the product works well and is convenient, but I didn't see how it was related to the other items at all... Two of the products I honestly love are the two deluxe samples of the new Vera Wang perfume. I got two of the Vera Wang Embrace fragrances to try and of the two, both were light and fresh scents that could work for just about anyone.  Lastly was  the Secret Clinical Strength Antiperspirant- As far as woman's deodorant goes, this is pretty good, but realistically men's deodorant is still just better .

Overall, This first Influenster interaction was a great one & if I end up with another opportunity in the future I'll be sure to share. (everything included in this post was provided complimentary)  check back soon -XoXo, LilyVera

Favorite Fashion Purchases of February || 2017

Hello Beauties! I'm back today with all of my favorite fashion purchases from this February & I hope you guys enjoy.  Ill try to link all of these pieces below, but if something in unavailable I'll look for something similar.

• Braided chunky heal sandal- To start off, I picked up these awesome heals that are ridiculously comfy from Charlotte Russe  & I am seriously in LOVE! So very comfy + Currently on sale for only 16 dollars, 10/10 recommend.
• Faux Leather Leggings- I picked up these edgy bottoms from the always loved H&M because I have been on the hunt for leather pants for forever that weren't $50+.  These do run a tad small in the butt, but they're stretchy and make your legs looks amazing. 
• Lacey Camisole- With the satin slip tops and dresses being all the rage, I wanted one that had a touch of extra elegance; Found this one shopping at TJ-Maxx and for the price it was a must have (similar item linked)
• Pink Reflective Sunglasses- With this pair of glasses all over Instagram I just decided to hop on the band wagon, but for the inexpensive price I have gotten so much wear out of these!
• Sleeveless Sweater Tunic- This was also purchased at TJ-Maxx and I have honestly never gotten such a versatile high quality top for so inexpensive!! I believe I paid like $7 and I have already styled this top a bunch of different ways   (original piece from the brand cloud chaser, similar piece linked)
• Adidas Neo Sneaker- I have been looking for a good casual all white sneaker, but decided after already owning black and white Adidas superstars to try something a bit different.  For these available for around $30 in most sizes you really can't go wrong.
• Pink baby doll style top- Last but not least, This top has been my go to! the stitching above the waist makes this top sooo flattering and the bow details on the sleeve make it original. I love simple statement tops like these! (similar style linked)

Hope you all enjoyed, Check back soon for new posts!                        -XoXo, LilyVera
