Style Dare: How To Wear Navy & Color Palette Guide

Navy is the new black! It's such a classic, preppy color and I just love it. But for years, I limited the amount of navy I had in my wardrobe because I wasn't 100% sure how to style it. I still find this a difficult color to work with and it usually requires a little bit of planning but it's really worth the extra effort to make it work. I'm definitely not the only one out there with hesitation over this color- and let me just say that the struggle is real- because this topic came in the form of a Style Dare. Let's figure this one out together!

I Dare You...

Arianna from Illinois asked:

"I never know what to wear with navy! I dare you to give it a try. Can you post tips like you do in your style guides?"

Bloggers Who Have Inspired Me Link-Up with Garay Treasures

I hope you're all having a great week so far! This week, I'm partnering with my friend Rachel from Garay Treasures as a co-host for her weekly 'Bloggers Who Have Inspired Me' link-up. Her link-up is one of my favorites because it's so interactive! She features her favorite looks from the previous week's link-up and she always has something nice and enlightening to say. 

To go with the theme, I decided to incorporate one of my favorite quotes: "Believe you can and you're halfway there" - Theodore Roosevelt. To me, it shows just how powerful our minds can be. I had a desk plaque with this quote on my desk in my very first job out of college. It was a really tough job and sometimes I didn't know if I could do it. This little reminder on my desk really helped when I was finding myself in one of those moments. Do you think believing in yourself will help propel you into success? Do you believe in your greatness?

If you haven't visited her blog yet, check it out. Now, onto the link-up! Scroll on down to join our party and don't forget to click around and discover some new friends that you might not have found here otherwise.

How To Wear A Lace-Up Top

With the carousel of fashion, trends often come in and out but sometimes completely new trends arise. It's always fun when designers think of something completely new! Lately, that new trend has been the lace-up detail. Whether you're going out for a night on the town with the ladies or just running errands on a random Sunday, you can dress up or dress down this style. 

At a first glance, I loved this new trend but could I really wear it? It seems a little revealing but the celebrities and bloggers that were seen rocking this trend didn't have that raunchy vibe at all. So as I like to say, it's all in the way you style it! Read on to learn all about how to wear this trend appropriately.

Why Laura Geller's Baked Make-Up Will Change Your Life

This weekend I attended a Laura Geller event at my local Ulta Beauty store. It was such a blast! It was an informal event, where Laura Geller representatives were in-store doing make-up demos. I saw it advertised weeks ago, so me and my friend signed up and booked appointments to get our make-up done. What a treat!

Lately my current make-up has been bothering my eyes and not blending properly, so I was definitely in the market for a new product. But it's so hard to choose beauty products when I'm just strolling through the store! So many of you give such great tutorials and reviews but it's still tough to choose the products that are right for me. It can be overwhelming. This event was the perfect solution and it came at just the right time!
