Fashion Friday: Fall Looks

Happy Friday!

I have been really making efforts to dress up most days...doesn't always happen, but I do love getting out of the yoga pants and tee shirt {aka mom outfit}

Layers are essential here in NY.

Infinity scarf & Arabesque earrings with a striped tee.

This was Halloween and I received a "holiday cup" from Starbucks. Whoa. #slowitdownbux

Cardigans, statement tee & statement necklace are going to be my go to pieces for sure! Throw on some sparkle studs and some lippy, and I feel like I am somewhat put together. The Ezra statement is still a fave!

A date night look was a simple Old Navy swing dress, taupe boots and statement earrings. I also had taupe boots on as well.  Loved feeling feminine and flirty for Fall.  We got to see Tom Green--so funny!

When the temps dropped, I was excited to wear my new top from Banana Republic I got awhile back. I paired it with the Sutton necklace (mixed metal)

This was a simple city chic look from our Toronto getaway.  Love this horn necklace & my silver hammered wire hoops.  Distressed denim (Express) and a Forever 21 cold shoulder top, plus a pair of black Nikes because we walked everywhere.

Aaaaaand most days I look like a hot mess...hat = days old hair.

Black = no thought.

Work out.

Constantine Feather chandelier earrings can be worn just as studs too.
OBSESSED.

Our November Deals are GOLD!! When you spend $50, you can get these for half off. #steal

The style drops for this month are gorgeous!!  The Rebecca Minkoff collection is stunning.

The hard part is choosing which color!?

Fashion Friday

Happy Friday and Last day of the month!!! I am dodging the rain like a pro today.   Totally packed the kids up to go to the park, only to drive through a downpour and detour to the library like a boss.

Thank you Starbucks for filling my tummy with a yummy green tea latte.

I snuck out last week for a quick mani/pedi and tried out this white eyelet top which I scored in a Jena box.  LOVED it!   {PS Side braid is code for: Crazy hair, don't care...}

Saturday night we had a fun little date night.  I rocked some Purple Reign Lipsense and our new fringe choker with an #LBD (little black dress)

I also took out my new waverly covet in cream!  I love it.

Our favorite White Gita Tassels are now available in black.   Score some today!

My style inspiration comes from this one quite often: Jena Green.  Her boutique rocks and she's constantly keeping up to date with all the trends for a fabulous price.

Our new engravable bangles are precious!!

I love how these mirrored sunnies show off whatever is in front of me!  I get such a kick out of them.

Last night we had a sushi date and a biz meeting.  GOOD VIBES!

Now is the time to spend those DOT DOLLARS!!  

Bring on my favorite month: 

JULY!!

Fashion Friday

Happy Fri-Yay Style Babes!

I am soaking up the sunshine with my kiddos, staying busy as always and loving life.  Now that the weather is warmer (can I get an Amen?!) I love being able to air dry my hair instead of having to use the blow dryer all of the time.

Instagram filters are somewhat fun, no?

These are the same glasses above, but they change color in the sun, how cool? My mom's fiancé brought us up a pair when they came to visit.

One of my favorite necklaces is the Mina Drape --- it paired well with a nice can of rosé for an online style session I did a few weeks back.

I am still loving our mirrored blush Wesleys.

My sister rocked the Emme Choker when we finally went out for her birthday.

***THIS JUST IN***

The versatile fringe choker is SO fun and the must have necklace right now.

It layers so nicely with the Kari necklace and of course the large gold hammered wired hoops.

Here's some Summer Style inspiration for you too!

Happy Shopping!

Fashion Friday

Happy Fri-yay!!

I thought I'd share with you a few of my favorite shops I have been loving lately! My wardrobe needed some help, since I am finally at a size where I am happy and know that I won't be gaining 70 pounds for another baby any time soon.  

Express has been a favorite of mine...I love the choker neck and the cross/tie/strappy top look.  I also grabbed this cardi since it's still kind of chilly. I also picked up these gray stretchy ankle jeans--SO comfortable!

My other obsession is Apricot Lane Boutique.  Jena Green (a fellow Stella Stylist) is on point when it comes to fashion and trends.  I trusted her and ordered her "Spring Box" and wow.  I was so impressed! I received this bomber jacket (something I would NEVER have tried otherwise!) and I love it. I also got this strappy bralette --it's like a sports bra-score! It looks adorable under Z-supply tees, another item I received.

Apricot Lane Boutique

As for my go-to bag lately? Our Covet Highline Bag.  It's from our luxe line and it's only $149!

Covet Highline Bag

This white top is another item that was in my Spring Box.  I got so many compliments! It is sheer, but the ruffles cover all the right places and I wore a sticky bra so you couldn't see anything in the back.  I felt girly, sexy and feminine all at the same time!  Our Gita tassels are going to be on repeat this Summer too. I adore them.

I went with a white manicure and accented with my gold Trove Ring & City Slim Clutch. Both from Stella!

I had been on the hunt FOREVER for a moto jacket. I knew I wanted one I just had a hard time deciding which one to get.  I saw this on Express and could not be happier! I love that it's got so much stretch to it.  I am wearing a lot since our May weather has been rather chilly. Total score!

Express Moto Jacket

I have my eye on these.  I had never heard of Vince Camuto, (how dare I?!) And during a fun little incentive I actually won $100 gift card from my Stella team to pick out a pair of shoes.  I'm thinking I will go with these, because I can't stop thinking of them!!

Ankle Tie Sandal

Our Trunk Show Exclusives are going fast! We had to replace the sold out bags with this adorable Capri wrap.   Spend $50 and get any of these for half off!!

A customer favorite, we will soon have rose gold hammered hoops!! I love my small silver & large gold, and for sure will be grabbing a pair of these beauties! Rose gold are currently available through our hostess boutique.  If you've recently hosted a trunk show or book one today, they are yours!

Hoops

Tip of the day:


Every girl needs a good arm party.  Stack up some gold (or silver, or both) and layer it on!  Our sweet deal right now is to buy 2 and get the 3rd half off!

Arm Party

If you see more jewelry than your budget allows, host with me!! I do quick and easy online Facebook Styling Sessions and most of my hostesses earn over $150+ in accessories!  Let's chat.

Girl Chat: Favorite Makeup/Beauty Products

I'm linking up today---yay!!

I've wanted to share my current favorite beauty products for awhile now.  I just pulled a few of my recent go-to must haves that I have been loving!

For my hair, I only use this line of products.  I find that spending a little more money, washing my hair every 2-4 days, and not curling/straightening every day has really helped!  This spray is fabulous for spraying directly on my hair before I use my curling wand.  The curls hold and last longer for sure!

Sealing Spray

Curling Wand

This is what my hair looks like right after I finish curling. I love to run my fingers through or even a brush to give it the looser look too. I let it cool down first though!

For my eyes I've been loving Younique!  I find this palette to really compliment my brown eyes.  My sweet friend Elizabeth has an amazing group on Facebook where she shares tips, tricks & lots of amazing deals!

Glamour & Grace with Elizabeth

I typically wear Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue daily, but for a night out on the town or if I'm doing any photos or filming, this is what I prefer.  It lasts and really gives a gorgeous glow in a photo! I use the shade Pure Beige.

Foundation

If I wasn't a Stella & Dot Stylist, I would probably be a LipSense lady! I am obsessed with this product for a few reasons.  I have always been a lip gloss kind of girl, but love the look of lipstick.  The problem with lipstick is that it ends up on my teeth, my husband, and all over my straws and cups.  It's annoying! I tried Gingerbread back around the holidays and I was hooked.  It tingles a little when you apply, but man oh man, it's so fab!  I also love that I can layer colors and create custom looks.  It helps that one of my best friends (maid of honor!) sells it.  Check out her Facebook Group for some deals and lots of pretty lip looks!

Ann Gets Lippy

I tried this bad boy out last night--a little out of my comfort zone but I totally think I rocked it!

I also only have to tote around a gloss or two when I'm out and about.  Winning!

I'm really into self-tanners and I have tried quite a few! Hands down, this has the best smell, least streaks and gives a natural glow.  Even my husband commented how much he likes me tan!

Ann Gets Lippy

Here was my "Purple Reign" lips.

Here I'm wearing Roseberry.

Date night was Napa.

Beige Champagne is my favorite for a mom on the go look!

Being a momma of two kids, 2 & 4, I feel like I am finally starting to feel like a woman again. I'm taking the time to make myself pretty--yes, I get that beauty is on the inside, but let's be real.  I feel my best when I am working out, eating healthy, and getting my glam on!! I am blessed to have such amazing friends who are total girl bosses and I feel like I have such a support team.  

Taking time for ourselves is so important.  It's impressive what a little makeup, lip color & some jewels can do for me!
